    I received a text message for number *** *** ****. I have no idea what this could be about. I think is a spam. But, they are saying I have pending matter with them. I don't know who they are and this is upsetting to me as I want my information out there. This is unacceptable if this is a business calling to want to speak with an individual.

    I want them to stop calling and texting my number if they don't identify themselves as a business.

    My sister got several calls from a phone number who refused to identify their company and said I had a court subpoena they were trying to serve me with. They called her again on May 6th and left a voicemail that there was a complaint with me as the respondent. Today, May 16th, they called my sister, father, and mother to say I was being subpoenaed, even mentioned US Marshals. I told them to ignore these calls and block the number. Then this afternoon, I got a call from the number. I answered and the person immediately hung up. I called back and the person answered "Claims, Vanessa." I said "hi, I missed a call from this number?" And she said "okay I'm looking to speak with ****** ******." I said "what is this about?" She said "I'm calling from a recorded line and I need to verify your date of birth." I said "I'm not sure who this is or if it could be a scam" and she said "I've never scammed anyone in my life so we can just move this to court" and hung up. So I called back and had an 11 minute conversation with "Ms. O****," who said there was no way the other person I spoke with did not identify where she was calling from and that they had all my information, even the clothes I have in my closet. She also that she could "save me from a lot of trouble" and that I needed to "take an inventory of my life and my choices" to see what led me here. I asked if this was a criminal matter and she said "are you asking me that on a recorded line?" which drew even more red flags. I have already spoken to a lawyer but wanted to file a complaint here to make sure other people know they have legal recourse against this company. I would like the business to stop harassing me and anyone who knows me. They clearly lie in their responses here but I have records of every call. I don't understand why this company is still in business with this much illegal activity and harassment.

    I received threatening phone calls from this number. I had 6 calls within minutes of each other and two voicemails stating they have a claim against me and will be at my residence shortly. I have no knowledge of this business or file they have regarding my information as I have never been in agreement to do business with them. I have not given this business permission to contact anyone, which include myself, my family, and my work place, I request that this company cease and desist from contacting myself, or anyone else using any information collected in my name.
