Back in December my parent recieved a phone call from a MR. Adler, whom had never given me his first name. He was claiming to be from a Rephen Law Firm and he was looking for me. At the time I was unable to make long distance so I didn't return his call. I never heard from again until about a week ago when he called and spoke with my brother.
He also told my brother that if I didn't call him back within 24 hours that I would have a warrent for my arrest. I was in such shock I didn't know what to do. I wasn't able to call him within that time frame. I have a job and a life. I called him back on Friday the 8th of August. He told me that I needed to come up with $1,100 By the 28th of August or I would be taken to court.
Me being a little wise to tricks called him out on some legal lingo. Some things that I knew about the law that applied to the situation. The had an answer for everything. I did take notice that I heard a lot of voices in the back ground. Which lead me to believe that he was a debt collector. He had me pretty shakin up by the time I got off the phone with him. I was really woried that he might be whom he said he was.
He had instucted me to contact my lawyer and call him back on Monday before 4pm. He said he had a meeting with his clients and he would discuss with them what I had desided to do. Over that weekend I did contact my lawyer and I did some homework online about this company. I was disgusted by what I found out. My lawyer adviced me not to give him a dime. I called him back about 11:30 AM on the 11th of August.
Both time I called him it took him hours to respond. That conversation was very short. I first asked him for his first name, he refused to give it to me and said there was no reason for me to have it. I simply said you and your conpany are requesting money from me, or course I should know. Then I asked him about his claim that he was going to have a conversation with his clients today at 4pm, he said yes I believe that I do.
I said then if you have a meeting with your client that leads me to believe that you are a lawyer. He said " What are you trying to get at" I said The scam that you are trying to run. This sham! He argued with me for a few minutes and then I told him I would see him in court but he would be on the oppisite side that he wanted to be. Then I hung up. As I was telling my father what had happened, he called me back.
He argued with me and he was very rude. You could tell he had no professionalism or sense of tact. I told him that my lawyer had found where there had been a claim against him and he wanted me to tell him what the name of my lawyer was. I refused to tell him and I said he would find out in due time. I also adviced him never to call this number again. To be continued...
