TThe woman at this phone number identified herself as with a company called "TriStar" and that they are a "process server" company, and that they were going to be expecting funds to cover what they said was a defaulted balance from 2014. She said her name was "Mrs. Taylor". When she put me on hold, I waited for her to return, but the system was playing music a little while then disconnected with a "goodbye". I called back and asked to talk with "Mrs. Taylor" and the person connected me to the same voice I heard before, only now she was "Mrs. Jones." I have worked for attorneys and am a professional. It does not take much to know this person was the same as whom I spoke with a few moments earlier. She continued to share that my "debt" was opened with a particular driver's license number I had when I was a resident of Texas, which was way back in the early 2000s, and anyone can look up information. They had enough information that they were concerning me about my grown children's information and they implicated several members of my family as possibly having taken out a card in my name. Not only did they cross a family boundary with me, they gave information many people can look up about people on so many of these "look-up" companies. I was not impressed. She said I was being given an opportunity to pay "just half" the amount she said was owed but I had until noon the next day to call or "this will be going to court". Really, now. And the card she said I had supposedly opened was about 2,300 written off. You know what? I took the opportunity to download my annual free credit reports and there is not a *one* of the items in my credit report that shows this "card" account. I have not had any bad debt after her purported "write-off" date. My husband called her and she spoke to him about my debt. (Really? You don't speak to anyone else about other people's financial matters, especially if you are a true business.) He told them that we knew this was a fraud and the FCC would be advised. He also let them know we have the legal right to review a debt claim for 30 days and that within 5 days of contact by federal law they are required to send a letter validating the debt. She said she didn't have to send any letter. My husband also told her we both were not ignorant and we both know this is a fraudulent claim. She argued with him of course and he left the conversation, hanging up. They called again the next day using their “robo caller”. My husband told the woman this number needed to be removed from their scam list. The woman at “TriStar” said that this forfeits the reduced amount we were to have paid and that it means this will go to court. My husband was able to tell her this would be reported to the FCC, and that we knew the BBB even knows about their scam. The person sounded haughty and disdainful and hung up on us after arguing several minutes about it.
