These scam artists called me about a debt I didn't owe. My account got charged twice from a gas station. My bank took care of it. Two weeks later, these jerks call me and indicate that my bank rejected my check because of NSF. What a joke. I requested my bank not pay the second time I was charged!!! This is a joke. They threatened me, said it would be on my credit report, that they are pressing charged, yada yada yada, and that I had to pay up.
I said no way. Then I called them back because I had caller ID. The woman I talked to looked up my "account", wouldn't tell me her name, or the previous callers name, wouldn't tell me the name of the place I was calling, wouldn't tell me where they were located or their address, even though I requested several times. She told me she was going to send me a letter outlining my rights and responsibilities regarding paying this - a bill I don't owe!
She would not answer any of my questions, and kept telling me that she had to "read me my rights and responsibilities". I have no responsibilities. A gas station erroneously charged me twice, and I've got rights and responsibilities? I don't think so. I told her that if she or her company contact me again, I am reporting them to my State's Attorney's Office, and hung up.
This is outrageous. I'm sure it's illegal, but where do I go, what do I do? The "bill" to them is like $52, and they told me that it was such a small amount that I should just pay it! What a joke, what a scam!!
