Collections sends collection notice for a 2001 T-MOBIL bill, a service i never had

AFNI sent me a collection notice for a purported T-Mobil bill. I've never been a customer of T-Mobil.

I called AFNI & was told the bill was for Omnipoint, bought by T-Mobil, & that the charge was from 2001. I've never been a customer of Omnipoint; but when I heard and October, I became unsure (audibly). That was a hazy & difficult time for me and a lot of other New Yorkers; did I possibly??? Have a cell phone company briefly??? At that time?

However, the rep ("Dave") offered no explanation as to why I had not been billed previously, and no other information about the purported account.

I almost paid just to get it off my desk—but finally said I did want to check my records first. (I was pressed as to when the payment would arrive before I hung up.)

So. No, in fact, I was never with Omnipoint. And I see AFNI has a very bad history. I am writing AFNIi a letter disputing the debt and requesting validation. I hope that will take care of it (???)

Since I see others have recently been pursued by AFNI for fake T-Mobil, I'm just sharing my story. (... Why would someone scam me for only $44.00? The 9/11 memories made this particularly nasty) I am sharing my story. It looks like T-Mobil is their latest disguise.
