Got unwanted call from 800-240-7702?
This is a scam! Do not sign anything or send money. I repeat this is a scam. DO not talk to them again.
I receive a call from a 316-249-2836 number, they left a voicemail saying that my ssn and name was a apart of a law suit and to call the 1-800-240-7702 number immediately. They informed me that I owed a stupid amount of money in regards to credit cards and that we had to come to an agreement to prevent from going to court. The company is called calahan & associates. I provided enough information for them to send me the documents thru email for electronic signature (stipulation agreement), but i haven't signed anything. They did have all my personal information. I asked them why didn't I receiving any letters from the original creditor or them in regards to going to court? Jeffery Edwards ext. 415 told me it could've been old address on file, but I'm thinking but you have the correct address though. I am starting to worry now. Where is this company located and how are they able to get people information so freely? I was informed that these charges accumulated from 2004 until 2014, I never had a credit card through the original creditor Household Metris
