Debt Collections - CBC Debt Collections Vishing and Identity Theft Scam

Hi, this is Ryan from CBC. A recent investigation uncovered credit card companies and major banks have violated consumer protection laws such as the fair credit billing act and fair credit reporting act. Because of this, these businesses are not allowed to collect on their accounts. Meaning you are no longer legally required to pay back certain debt, and those balances will also be removed from your credit report. To hear which banks and credit card companies were found guilty and what will be removed from your credit, call 888-356-1808. Again, that's 888-356-1808.

This fake charge was made by someone calling themselves "Find My Manual" and attempted to place it on a monthly basis.

I was looking for a room to rent for my son and I and I came across Low Income Rent. I was interested as I am on a fixed income. I was asked what I was looking for and how much. And I told them. I paid a $75 application fee and they said if I get approved that money would be taken off first months rent. And after a little while I was told I was approved. Then they asked me to send $340. Once that was done they asked me to send $560 to finish paying last months rent. After about 20 minutes my bank sent back the $560 and put a hold on my account so nothing can be taken out or put in. I contacted the police and nothing will be done. I had to get a new bank card and changed my password and pin. I have files for this but they are to big to send over.

They told me that my insurance claim filed on August 30 did not get approved and I need to refile. Since such event did not occur, I said "alright, forget about it then". The caller insisted that I have to cancel the claim or I will keep receiving call backs to which I replied "sure, done. Please stop calling me or I would think you are trying to scam me". They asked which platform I had perform the cancellation and I told them its the same platform that the alleged claim was filed on. They couldn't tell me what platform that was and got offended, screamed obscenities and hung up. This scam targets Chinese speakers specifically and they will keep calling once they establish that the recipient of the call speaks Chinese. I did not figure out how they plan on getting money yet.
