Scam

EOS CCA is running a scam on unspecting people. The collection letter comes with a PO Box address in Norwell, MA. Proof it’s a scam – 95 year old Sally Smith got a collection letter from this agency. The collection was for some allege goods not identified obtained from eBay. This woman can hardly navigate her telephone and TV remote control. The poor woman gave up her cable box because she kept confusing the TV and cable remotes. Mrs. Smith is hearing impaired and has cataracts. She doesn’t own a computer.

The letter looked Xeroxed and her first name was spelled wrong. The letter was actually addressed to Ally Smith. Seems a legal debt would have the name correct. One internet search on this company, and pages and pages of complaints pop up. The scam artist wants this woman to give them $215.58. They were careful not to round-off the amount.

Looking at other junk mail Mrs. Smith received revealed the same incorrect name. She’s gotten a health magazine and advertisements which she ignored. Not being able to see well, Smith did not notice the error in the name. So the poor lady ended up on some mailing list that these scammers brought.

Thanks for the heads up! I actually got a letter from EOS RRI. They asked me to verify all my info. I had NO idea who they were. They said they were located in Dallas TX. I know I don't owe anyone money, so I knew this was not right when I saw this was associated with a collections company. The scary thing is, how in the world did they get all my personal info.? I have gone to severe lengths to keep it private after my identity was stolen back in 97. I fear for those who would send these letters back in verifying that everything was accurate and sign it. This could drain bank accounts etc!

I also got a EOS RRI letter, asking to verify my info. This is lame.

Bri and Rafa there are just so many companies selling your name/information for $$$$. There are just as many companies/people willing to take what is yours without a second thought! Thanks for sharing.

I recieved a letter saying that I owed on an account that had been closed for 2 years. I contacted the FTC and logged a complaint against this company business practices. Everyone needs to contact FTC and other agencies and close these people down.

I actually have never received a phone call from them or any letters. Then when my taxes were done and filed and when the return came back EOS CCA took $4000.00 of my return and said they were getting ready to garnish my wages for a student loan that I never took out. When they sent me the promissory note, the address and phone number are wrong. The best part is there is NO SIGNATURE on the promissory note. So when I received the copy they sent and called them, they now have to request a copy for themselves that will take another 7 days to get and then they are not able to send any forms via email or fax saying they are trying to protect me....Protect me from what them taking more of my money..a little crazy. I have already called the IRS, The Treasury Dept, and my attorney for 5 years this loan was outstanding and no attempt to contact me was ever made. They have my parents mailing address in NY,and have no idea that I lived in Florida. What a joke!!!

I was going to delete this comment, but decided to make some points for others who may decide to comment:

First of all SALLY SITWELL your reply doesn’t sit well with me. You can use capital letters in your comment, just don't use all capitals. It's considered rude. It's like yelling at someone. If your intention was to yell that was just rude.

Second everyone has life experience and don’t necessarily see or experience things the same way. Therefore they are entitled their comments. Name calling just makes you seem uneducated. There’s no credibility. You and everyone else should be able to express yourself with some decorum.

Third my neighbor is in her 90’s and doesn’t owe any student loans, therefore your assumptions that “everyone should pay their bills” is not valid in her case and for many of the other people commenting. Generalizations are not usually a good thing.

Let me refresh everyone's memory and for those who failed to read the article and still wanted to comment. The 90 year old woman got a bill for a eBay purchase - not a student loan. She did not co-sign for anything. eBay secures funds before sending out any merchandise usually through PayPal. That's what the article concerns.

People are free to share their experience as noted above. Thanks and I appreciate the comments.
