Description

01/20/26 I received a threatening voicemail from Rachel Evans stating their office had a pending complaint that was about to be filed and failure to respond would result in proceeding without my consent. I called the 800 number referenced in the voicemail. She states the company was a “firm” called “Collin And Associates” out of Dallas, Texas. She asked for the “case number” that was told in the voicemail. Upon giving her that number, she began stating this was in reference to (my name) and, without verifying my identity, stated my whole social security number and full home address. She told me a notice was sent to my address in November about settling a US Bank account in collections, but since I didn’t respond(I never received such notice), I was being taken to court and it was “too late” to avoid lawsuit. She also stated “maybe you lost a job and that’s why this account went to collections”. She explained that “they” may seize my accounts and property if I didn’t settle. She then gave me the option to settle out of court today. I don’t have said bank or any accounts from anywhere in collections and keep tabs on my credit report and knew this was an imposter/scam. I requested all documents pertaining to this matter and she stated she did not have any and only had the settlement amount to pay today. This “firm” also left the same threatening voicemail about me with “case number” to my father in laws phone. Anyone could have called back, gave that case number, and would have been told my entire social security number without asking for it and without verifying their identity first. I didn’t ask the amount because I knew none of this seemed right.
