A gentleman identifying himself as Tim Walsh claiming to represent Valentine & Kebartas, called my number asking for my mother-in-law and demanding personal information from me over the phone. I, of course, was immediately suspicious and refused to identify myself or reveal my relationship to my mother-in-law. I challenged him, repeatedly, to state his business, which he refused. I entered the search string "tim walsh valentine and kebartas" on Google. The first two results revealed that this was indeed a racket where the perputrators scam debtors out of money while posing as debt collectors. The gentleman was pushy, rude, testy, and became flustered when I pressed for him to identify himself.
