Another Scam Debt Collection Email

Another forwarded email from one of my clients. From the United States of Federal Managment?? - Lol. It is a shame because I know people fall for emails like this.

In a previous post, I replied back to one of these offering to settle the debt in full for $50.00. Someone immediately replied back countering at $100.00 and instructed me to buy an Amazon.com gift card. Then they instructed to email back the gift card confirmation code so that they can provide assurance that the account will be "closed out". What an absolute scam.

Subject: WAGE GARNISHMENT NOTICE

                    GARNISHMENT NOTIFICATION AND ARREST NOTICE

 

 

 

CASE FILE #: DC-023964S

 

Date: March 31TH 2017

One Time Settlement Amount: $623.27


Dear: (misspelled name),


This letter is to notify you that we would precede your matter for Garnishment on your wages. This means that someone you owe money would be awarded a judgment from the court for payment of the debt. The court can order your employer to deduct 25-30%  percent of your disposable earnings and make payment to the court on your behalf to recover your debt.


Why am I receiving this notice?


The United States, or a State Debt support enforcement agency, certifying its right to garnish your Federal benefits shall attach or include with a garnishment order the following Notice; Garnish wages owed to a Debtor after Small Claims Court would make order that you owe money. On FEBRUARY 23th 2017,  we received a garnishment order from a court to [freeze/remove] funds in your account. The amount of the garnishment order was for $1423.13. We are sending you this notice to let you know what we have done in response to the garnishment order. You can contact your creditor for the settlement amount.


What is garnishment?

Garnishment is a legal process that allows a creditor to remove funds from your [bank]/[credit union] account to satisfy a debt that you have not paid. In other words, if you owe money to a person or company, they can obtain a court order directing your bank to take money out of your account to pay off your debt. If this happens, you cannot use that money in your account. 
  
The following applies to you:

Before you are arrested: - If you pay in full, or make a part-payment before you are arrested, the warrant will be recalled and amended. However, it will be immediately re-issued if the debt is not paid in full.
When you know a warrant has been issued, you should E-mail us on to discuss your options.
After you are arrested: - Once the warrant has been served, your only options are to serve the time in prison or pay the debt (plus costs) in full at the Courthouse.

IF YOU WANT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER THAN IMMEDIATELY CONTACT US THROUGH EMAIL BETWEEN WORKING HOURS AND SETTLE THIS MATTER.


Sincerely,

LOGAN BROWN

Sr. Investigation Officer

Debt Collection Bottom Feeder Text Messages

Here is a cell phone screen shot sent in by one of my clients. The ex significant other took out some internet payday loans in my client's name.

Eventually, the defaulted loans get sold to "bottom feeders" who will never stop the harassment. Keep in mind, that the FDCPA and the Telemarketing Sales Rule regulates this kind of behavior, but we still have to find them to serve a lawsuit.



It is hard to track down these scammers when they use Google Voice or VOIP phone numbers to call and text from.

The take away from this, is that you absolutely have nothing to be afraid of if someone is 1. texting you and 2. if English is definitely not their primary language.

It is kind of funny actually. If this is happening to you, try to laugh it off, and DO NOT return the text.

Scam Debt Collector Bottom Feeders

A current client forwarded this email to me. First  a scammer will always use a non-traceable email address such as Gmail or Hotmail.

For fun, see how many grammatical, spelling and format errors you can find in this message as well as completely inaccurate information. Lol.

My response:

I emailed back and offered to "settle this alleged debt in full" for $50.00. They immediately countered at $100.00 and asked that I send an account number for a $100 pre-paid Amazon.com gift card back to this email address. The logic was "we don't want your banking information, we understand that it might make you feel uncomfortable giving your banking information to a collection agency. Go to  https://www.amazon.com/gift-cards, (affiliate info removed) and purchase a card for $100. Then gift it to us at this email address and send us the confirmation from Amazon". What a complete scam.

The shame is that people probably fall for it.
