Recieved a call from 888-462-9402, regarding a legal matter. I called back wondering what this was regarding. Call went to a woman who answered "how may I direct your call", not this is the office of blah blah or collections or anything. I gave her the reference number and she forwarded me to Joshua Hansen, part of a law firm stating that I owed US Bank money and I needed to pay or it would come out of my income and go to court. I did have an account with them, oh about 5yrs ago, but thought it had been dropped due to it being so old. He stated I needed to pay them $600 today or would be looking at wage garnishment and a law suit that could cost me up to $3,200 total... This is such a scam, but I needed to know what it was regarding. Thought it was weird when my Aunt contacted me and she said she recieved a call from a Shawn Ellis, and asked to speak with a manager and they hung up on her. Also they asked for her by her previously married name that she hasn't gone by in at least 6 yrs... This entire thing is fishy and entirely a scam, not once did they mention that this was a debt collector or that they were attempting to collect a debt... Do yourself a favor and do not answer or give them any information!!!
