Number called me 20 times within the last 24 hours. Would not leave messages. Called number back, got VM each time. When I finally got through, I spoke with a man named Mike Costa, who was incredibly rude and insulting. They claimed I was the named person in a legal dispute, court documents sealed so that the only thing anyone could see was my name and number. I searched this and found other questionable calls and asked him about it - said I believed it was a scam, would not comply. Mike then started personally attacking me to get me to call the "legal firm." Was given 888-863-9125. Per the above notes, I asked him if this was for Orange Consulting Firm. He said no, said he had never heard of that company. I read off the above note and he said "some people who owe money and are in legal trouble are just going to lie to make it look like we're the bad guys." Very interesting! He then stated that if I called that number, I'd be connected with a secretary who would choose one of six legal firms to transfer me to, depending on the "severity of the case." I spoke with Mike at length, mainly asking him to remove my number from whatever list they're using because I know this is a scam. It has all the signs of being a phantom company. He was very argumentative and ended up hanging up on me, threatening to send the police to deliver my legal documents (which isn't even how that works..).
I called this number, spoke with a secretary who would not give out her name. The IVR on that line DID say Orange Consulting Firm. She then transferred me to a "claim administrator" who said they needed to verify my info to proceed. I refused to give them any info up front. They then gave me my name, but with a wrong middle initial. I told them it was incorrect but refused to give them the right answer. They then gave me a date of birth that was not my own. Again, told them it was wrong, refused to give them my right dob. At this point, I was feeling confident it was a scam. He said that maybe it was another person by my name? My last name is unique and only two people in the entire world have it - I told him that, and he immediately hung up.
Now I've tried calling back the 339 number and no one is answering at all. Very suspicious
