I had received a phone call from a blocked number and the person had told me that I needed to call another number to sign some court documents. First red flag, how can I sign court documents over the phone? They call again the next day asking why I hadn’t called the number given. I told them I knew they were scammers and I wouldn’t be giving them any personal information or signing any papers. He then threatened to show up at my house with the papers, and I told him to go right on ahead. Needless to say, no one has shown up. I got another call the next day from them saying that they needed to talk to me about the claim. That they were a prelitigation company and I needed to talk to them or they’d be taking me to court, I told them let’s go ahead and go to court then since I knew it was a scam. They called again today talking about a very old account that is long since closed. I told them they needed to stop calling and they had no right to be harassing me, they got aggressive and said I had no right to be stealing from a company. They are rude, aggressive and harass me with phone calls everyday. They’ve called my mothers house leaving the same kind of messages. The information they have on people is very outdated, they couldn’t give me any new information.

This number called and left a message on my phone, stating that her name was Mandee Sawyer, the name she left the message for was one of my relatives who lives in another state. They left a contact number to phone back 8662042750. I researched the number and it is a known scamming agency. For one, I’m not the person they left the recording for, which is totally inappropriate, secondly I phone the number back and said to not call my phone again, and he said the company name was ICR, and asked was he speaking to, he then said the same name that was left on my voicemail. I said, no it is not and you need to not call my phone again and he said oh I bet this is you and you need to learn how to pay your bills and we ended in a screaming match. This is totally a violation, as for one, I don’t know how they received my number and why would they call my phone in reference to someone else, that’s how I clearly saw that it was a scam.

A coworker of mine kept getting harassing phone calls from a collections company called "ICR." They claimed that she ordered a trial newsletter publication called Progressive Business Publications and that she agreed, over the phone, that she would take the "free trial" and if she wanted to cancel the subscription, to send a form in the mail. However, our office never received any publications. She doesn’t recall having a phone conversation with anyone from this publications company. They even tried to say that they’d sent an email confirmation to her company email address, which she had no record of.

When ICR started calling her, they claimed that she owed $299 because of her subscription to this newsletter. My coworker asked if she could get an invoice or any documentation supplying proof of this bill. They refused to provide us with anything. Just kept stating that if we didn’t pay the full amount, this debt would go against our company’s credit.

They continued to call for a couple of months. Each time providing little bits of information about this unpaid invoice but refusing to send us any proof or documentation. Somehow they even had my coworker’s birthday.

When they called again today, they claimed that this was the last day we could pay the debt before it would be officially put against our company’s credit. We asked to speak to a manager. Were then put on the phone with a woman claiming to be Cynthia Thomas. Cynthia also refused to give us any documents, a copy of the invoice, the alleged confirmation email, nothing. She was very rude and hung up on us twice when we started to realize that this was a scam.

I then googled "ICR Cynthia Thomas" and a slew of results came up with similar stories to ours. Some of them went as far back as 2010.

I can’t believe that these people are still getting away with this. It’s been almost 8 years and this scam hasn’t been shut down yet. The phone number they’re using is 607-748-4686.

I’m hoping that the ScamPulse.com can do something about this and finally shut this scam down.
