In august, this company called me stating that they represented a discovery account that I owe. They said that they acquired my account and that they were calling to settle my account. They claimed that they could reduced the amount if I would post a check for $1345. I said that I didn't have the money, and the suggested that I could send installments for $345.00 per month starting in August. I post dated a check for August and September. I asked them, they could send some verification about their relationship with discovery. I stopped payment on all reminding pre-dated checks at the beginning of October. On November 3, 2011, I received a phone call asking when I could send the balance. I said that I could not do that . Alw sourcing phone is 866-588-7138x5953.
I also informed them that I checked their company online and found out that they are indeed a bogus company. At that point, I called them to inform the telemarketer that I would not make another payment and that I was going to report this company to consumeraffairs and the Massachusetts attorney general office. They scammed me out $690.00. Why do these company use scare tactics on the elderly. I am seventy-one years old.
