UPGRADE

Victim Location 08311

Type of a scam Debt Collections

Upgrade sends one letter a month claiming that I have an account that is 95 days past due and that I owe $2186.80. When you call the number they attempt to get personal information such as the last four of your social and your date of birth. This is a very obvious scamAnd I would like them put out of business

Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief

The scam arrived in the mail masquerading as some sort of debt relief/loan service. The sheet talks about how I’ve been preapproved and "presceened" for this offer and how it is only available for a certain amount of time. Without even reading it I knew it was a scam, but it’s the kind of thing older people or those unfamiliar with scams might take seriously.

Furious, I looked for a number to call to ask to be taken off of their mailing list, if it was real and was surprised when a phone number was actually listed (18885678688) but upon calling the number, I could not get to a menu to talk to a real person and the only thing I would allow me to do was enter my SSN. Suppposedly there is a website you can go to to submit an optout request, however I have not gone to that website for fear that it will damage my computer.

Like I said, for anyone who doesn’t know to be wary of everything received in the mail/email or on the phone, this could potentially steal there identity.
