Description
I received a voice mail with a phone number and complaint number attached to my name allegedly. When I called the number, a man answered by saying, "Steinberg & Stanley Law Firm". I asked him what that phone call was regarding and then he said someone had a lawsuit against me and he asked if I was "J D". I didn't answer him, but kept asking who is suing me and he just kept asking me to confirm my personal details like home address, social security number and such. The creepy thing is that I just moved to this address 6 months ago and didn't even do an official change of address yet. Also, he was repeating my correct social security number, date of birth, etc. At that point, I was yelling at him asking who was this person or business suing me and then he said, "now I'm going to escalte this to a criminal matter"! I laughed, told him to fuck off or maybe it was, "go fuck yourself" and hung up. I checked my county to see law suits against me and I did have a couple of old civil matters that are closed, but nothing new so I know this was a scam call! It's very concerning because I live alone with my teen daughter! These creeps make me so mad! How in the hell do they get my private info, especially my new address that isn't listed anywhere or even on my driver's license!?
