I received a bill from Americatel with my personal information with the phone number I got when I moved to my new home in 2001. The bill was for phone calls made in 1999.
Here's how stupid these people are, along with the bill came a letter of introduction telling me about the company and this additional information: However, we have found that your local telephone company does not have a billing agreement with Americatel. Therefore, your telephone number is unable to make long distance calls through Americatel and its dial around access code 1010-123.
I laughed, and (thank god) save the letter. Today I got a letter from a collection agency, AFNI, Inc. I attempted to call them but you can't get through on the toll free number.
Isn't this, along with being a ripp-off, mail fraud? And by sending your data to a collection agency and threatening your credit rating, isn't that extortion?
