A man called the company I work for asking for me and left a phone number for me to call him back. I called him back and he identified himself as *** *** from the legal department at The meridian group. He proceeded to tell me that US Bank was going to sue me for an overdrawn account I had years ago and that I was going to get served papers unless I could make a payment today and set up a payment plan over the next 11 months. He asked for my credit card information and sent me a document via email for an electronic signature to confirm my consent for payments. I was caught off guard and gave him my card info for fear of having to go to court. After thinking about it for the rest of the day I did some research on his phone numbers and company names and found no valid proof to anything this man had told me. I called my bank and cancelled my card before any payment was taken out. He then called me the following day and left a voicmail to inform me that my payment was declined and this was my last opportunity to make a payment before they took legal action.
