Received a phone call July 22nd and they asked for Shannon, which is my daughter’s name. I told him she doesn’t live here. He asked me to get in touch with her and tell her they are trying to find her to serve a court order. I called my daughter and she called the number he gave me. She called back and they told her it wasn’t her they were looking for but they were looking for her mother which is strange because they called me first and asked for her. I called them back at the number my daughter gave me and asked for the extension #, but that threw off the person that answered as if they didn’t have extension numbers. I give her the mans name I was given. He said it was about a vehicle that was repossessed in 2009. It was sold at auction but there was still $9000 owed. He said if I paid before they served the papers I could pay only $2369 which I told him I didn’t have. I told him I live on Social Security and have no money. He then said I could pay $1695 and make payment on the rest. I was in tears by this time and again told him I had no money. He knew two of my addresses including the present one, the last four of my social, and some more info. What worries me is that the repossession was correct. The car was bought 12 years ago in 2008 and was repossessed the following year in 2009 due to hardship. After thinking about it, I would think there is a statute of limitations on suing me and it was on my credit report for 7 years and then came off. I don’t know how to verify it is a scam. After reading some of the others here, I think it must be.
