This - i receieved - phone calls from seperate numbers [ ( - ) -, ( - ) - ) ] and seperate people claiming to represent a company called Legal Recovery Solutions. They had previously called my mother and sister before getting in contact with meThey opened the conversaation by asking me to confirm my identity and went as far as telling me the last - didgts on my SSN #. ( which they also provided to my family in a voicemail when they previously called ) they then starting talking about a debt i owe from years ago to - - ' - '', which is a legitimate debt. At this point theyre telling me that i owe roughly $930.00 and must pay it in full immediately or they will file paperwork to issue a warrant and have me arrested due to their client '' pressing charges on me for a couple different types of fraud. I questioned him about the legitimacy of what he was telling me and he got extremely defensive and kept insisting that i would be charged with felonies if i did not pay. he also refused to identify his client when i asked who was pressing the charges since he had told me that the original debt collection agency that got my account from - - - had turned over my debt to someone else, and that that new agency, whom he is referring to as his client, is the - pressing charges if not paid.
