I received a collection letter from this company and I felt that I should check out why and get it corrected. After talking with Aaron for awhile it was obvious this was a scam. But he had my address, ss#, former address but did not have it all correct. He ask me to comfirm my ss# which I ask him to tell me what he had and told him it was close and my address was close. I then told him I had never has a phone service with Altel but he insisted I was wrong. I then ask him how I could correct and he instruced me to file fraudlent police report and I had to prove to them that this was wrong. I refused and told him that was wrong. I know for a fact I have never used Altel as I have my phone bill drafted since the second year with AT&T so it could not be delinquent. I then ask if this was real and if I did not pay could it go on my credit report. He said yes and that it was money I owed Alltel although I never have used this company. I ask him how I could check out his company since I had never heard of them and who they were. I asked that Aaron provide me with information and proof that I owned this money and was willing to give him a fax number, he blew me off and said he didn't have to prove anything to me. This is wrong and I HATE to see other people get scamed by this company. Luckily I wnet directly to the interent to research this company and found that I am not the only person this company is trying the steal from. I will contact the police department to file a complaint as well as the BBB in Bloomington, IL, local newspaper and possible TV stations to report this.
