How Can I Tell If An Email From A Debt Collector Is A Scam Or Legitimate?
Published by javagee February 9th, 2010 in emailIt is the only contact I have received from them. My name is not on the email. The web address included to contact them is not accessible to me. When I tried it, the message read that I needed to try a different domain. I know I have no debts owed. I have not received any mail or telephone calls from debt collectors. Does this sound like a hoax, scam or legitimate email?
They emailed you? Sounds like a scam, debt collectors are slimeballs and would much rather get you on the phone and harass you about paying your debts. If they emailed people it would just end up in the spam folder. Just remember NEVER EVER give out your personal information through email. If it is a company that you do business with like Wachovia or Bank of America or any other company you trust Google their name and go their website that way. Never use a link in the email to give out your information. Good luck and protect yourself.
It is a scam. Collectors go through USPS or phone you.
sure sounds like a scam
