CURIOUS INCIDENT: Call from (803) 349-4222 for "La Donna Love" about 12:15 p.m. on March 24, 2015.
LEFT VOICEMAIL: In a threatening tone, a man said: "La Donna Love, this is Mr. Harris, senior investigator, head of the fraudulent claims and special investigations division. I received a deposition here naming you as the potential defendant in Shelby County District 'Courts.' My client is proceeding for further, uh, for fraudulent activity for misuse of a 'federal' regulated instrument. They are pursuing to the fullest extent of federal and state law as of March 25, 2015, at 4 p.m. So I suggest 'for' an immediate response here in my office at (803) 349-4222. Refer to claim 601779. La Donna, it'd be in your best interest to respond." Then hung up.
SUSPICIOUSLY: Did not identify who he represents or what state "Shelby County" is in. When I called back from another number, a different man answered and evaded repeated requests to identify the business he worked for, saying only it was "the claims department." Then he hung up.
NOTA BENE: I'm not La Donna Love, nor do I know her. Honestly, I don't believe she exists. Collectors use phishing calls such as these to verify telephone numbers and to get you to volunteer information they can use against you. I reported the call to the Federal Trade Commission and will be posting this information widely.
