Description

i got a call from someone saying that they were instructed to come serve me for a lawsuit where I owed over $8k to Citibank and that this was their second attempt to serve me papers so they wanted to know if I was home for the next hour. I said i had never been contacted about a lawsuit but I do have a small debt to citibank. They gave me the phone number for a law firm called Foster and Lewis Law Group and a case number. I spoke with someone named Kevin who told me that due to penalties and now legal fees my debt has gone up and now $8k. I could either make monthly payments or settle for $2500. They had my address and social security number on file so I thought this was my legitimate debt from citibank. After receiving the validation letter I noticed that the account number was not right. I looked at my credit report and the account number did not match what they claimed it was. I then looked up the name of the legal group and the phone number and no such group exists. be careful.
