Type of a scam Debt Collections
I initially received a call from a court processor (at my job requesting to speak with my supervisor) informing me that they made multiple attempts to deliver a summons to me, and was calling to verify my address and that I would be home. He said he had no information regarding the case and I was given a phone number to call (866) 830-5354 and a case ID. When I called, they answered the phone as S&P group and he identified himself as Jesse Sanchez. When I inquired about the call i received, they first said that it is unusual that I received a call and that he would look in to the case for me. He knew my social, birthdate and previous addresses. He claimed that I had a case filed for unpaid overdraft fees to a Fifth Third Bank account I had in 2009. He had my Fifth Third Bank account #(which I’m not sure if it was accurate or not). They claimed the debt had been passed on to 5 different collections agencies and I never responded. I was also told I was mailed a 30 days final attempt notice to respond. I explained that I credit monitor and am completely unaware of this outstanding debt, especially since it was almost 10 years ago. He stated that since it is a checking account it is not reported to credit bureaus. He explained that a civil case would remain on my report for 10 years and that I would be placed in chexsystems. Ultimately, after several phone calls back and forth (note future phone calls were answered "corporate office") he offered a settlement out of court for $1900 or pay about $4200 with court fees. Unfortunately, the more I spoke with him, I was convinced it was a legitmate claim and almost paid in full. I did further research on the phone number which all kept coming back as scams. I inquired to members of a financial group that I am apart of who also stated scam. I was emailed a docusign document to review and sign. I then googled the address provided which came up as a UPS store; I then googled the fax number provided and came across a ScamPulse.com scam report with the same exact story and person that I spoke with. Doing research on them I learned that company does many scams of this nature. There is also no website or valid address on S&P group and the listed phone number on the document (866-830-5354) has many scam alerts and they also use other numbers. I did not respond to the email and will no longer be answering their calls. I will be watching my credit very closely as they had accurate personal information.

S&P Group called my mother and threatened her as well as myself. They stated that I owed
an overdraft fee to US Bank. I do not. They threatened sending an officer out to our home to
arrest me and a civil suit for non-payment. The call was received on 7/11/2018 at about
6pm. The phone number it came from was marked private but my mother was given a
phone number and a case number to give me. The phone number is 866-307-5875. There
was a male and a female working the phone lines. I told them I didn’t owe this debt and
they proceeded to increase the amount from $1 to $1,000.00. They requested personal and
private information. I refused to give it. They were very aggressive and I can only imagine
what they have put some poor people through. Please investigate these con-artists before
they destroy some poor person’s life by taking everything they might have. Thank you.
