Type of a scam Debt Collections
Received a call from a woman claiming to be with PDS Mediation Services of Ohio. Claimed that I owed a company named Discover Magazine almost a thousand dollars for a breach of contract from 2006. She also claimed that if I paid today, I would only owe $310. She wouldn’t give me a physical address for the company, but I looked the company up online and it seemed to be a fake website. I noticed that they had the BBB stamp on their pngage, but when I searched the BBB for them, they are not accredited with the BBB. She then tried to get a whole bunch of personal information from me. And then send me a DocuSign document with a contract saying that I would agree to pay the $310 to fix the debt that I owed, the creditor was no longer Discover Magazine, but Reader Service. I did a quick search of this company and found out that they were also a type of scam where they would over charge you for renewing your subscription of a magazine. Since 2006, I have purchased two vehicles, applied for a credit card, and I am currently purchasing a house. I have checked my credit report every since I get a free report when my credit is run and never have I had anything from Reader Service or Discover Magazine or even PDS Mediation Services
