Western Portfolio Assets Debt Collection Complaint

Western Portfolio Assets Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) False statements or representation Impersonated an attorney or official Oregon

My family and work received calls from scammers claiming to be - on the verge of - my property for a debt. They also called my work and harassed them claiming to be a law firm. My boss told me to take care of it immediately as calls like that were unacceptable at the workplace. I paid $900.00 to supposedly a - law firm. My wife called shortly after and said she called - directly and not the ( - ) number left and was told it was a scam. I spoke to sheriff and called bank to stop transaction. Even though I explained the person I gave info to was not who they claimed and I had been scammed the bank would not stop transaction. Furthermore the bank would not let sheriff have access to my account and when disputed claimed it was not fraud because I received what I paid for. I paid no debt off, my money is gone and the company that actually took the money out was not - or this - law firm it was western portfolio. How can they get away with this and how can - Bank get away with claiming it was n't fraud.
