Just got a phone call similar to one of the comments above, stating that I had criminal charges against me and Timothy yada yada, I don't know because it was slurred. I don't know anyone named Timothy, except for my friend's husband that is a sheriff!! So, I'm glad others have left these same messages so that I didn't freak out either.
This company " has called me three times now first time it was like all the other with someo thing that happened apparently in 2008 . Then again today stating different business. This company is relentless. Block their number from you're phone my local police station advised this
this caller first contacted my sister and left a voicemail stating there were criminal charges being filed for me(using the last 4 of a social and my dob) and stated that I needed to contact them before 4pm to avoid a warrant being issued. I called the place and spoke to someone(I couldn't catch their name) but they kept droning on and on about the details of the situation. they stated I had a past due amount for Kay Jewelers(which I had been contacted by someone last year to due installments to pay the settlement for) and stated that if I had no letter showing that I had paid it off that I would be convicted in court(because they have a 99% conviction rate) and could serve between 1-3 years in jail. I then asked the person what was the collection agency associated with the account and he avoided giving me an actual answer. I had to cut him off multiple times to force an answer out of him which still wasn't enough. I then asked him for the account number with the payment due and he stated that he could not give that to me. He stated that I needed to pay 634.12 before Thursday(2 days from now) or else I would have to spend 4 days in court for 3-4 hours a day and pay restitution. I then asked him who it was before that had called and set up a payment plan with me and he stated he didn't know. after droning on about more of the details, I told him I wanted documentation sent to my email so I could review the account. He sent the email from empireassetmanagement.llc@gmail.com and the contact date was incorrect on the document(July 05th, 3016). and only gave one phone number to call and make the payment through debit or credit card free of charge. I wasn't too sure about whether or not the call was legitimate or a scam at first because they had plenty of correct information on me including the last four of my ssn, my dob, and the information about my account with kay jewelers. After leaving to work, my sister told me they had called her again. I searched the "company"'s name, phone number, email, and address on Better Business Bureau and they do not come up and the only business that does come up under that name is a company located in WY(not NY, like the caller stated) and that it is believed to be a closed company.
