September 25 I received a message from my grandmother that my "friend" Sarah Jones was trying to reach me. I know for a fact that I do not have any friends named Sarah. I returned her call to see what this was really about. She then informed me of a debt from 1991 in the amount of $1228.58 from GE Capital. WHO? She informed me I must have bought furniture or something. Whatever.
At this point I am a little nervous as I am not quite sure what to make of this situation. Long story short, she and her supervisor Leon Thomas faxed me a bogus affidavit and assignment dated for that day, I would at least think it would have been from the original alleged debtor or something, as well as a settlement offer in the amount of $737.15. Basically, they sent me nothing to prove this was a valid debt. I immediately went searching for any information on this company via the internet. Thank God for this site.
I almost bought into the scam and used my savings to pay a debt I really have no recollection of. I informed them I would not be sending any money. They rudely informed me they would be doing a credit and asset search and that I would be sorry. I heard nothing until last week when I received a letter (post marked out of Houston, Texas) from Camco extending to me the "most generous offer of settlement" in the amount of $491.43. I am sending them my cease and desist letter today.
Please note they can somehow get your phone numbers by you calling into their offices. I called from work and even *67 blocked our number and yet the still called me back. I immediately told Sarah not to call me again at my job and she at least so far has complied with that. I did not focus on their rude tactics as this seems to be a prerequisite to work there.
