Scam Description
I was contacted by someone who claimed to be a mediation service. However, they wouldn’t give me the company name other than JSW, but I was told it stood for nothing. When I started asking questions to resolve the issue, I was given three different totals of how much I needed to pay over the phone right then. It started at $5000 and then went down to $2000 and when I said those options would not work for me and that I was disabled and they said they had a special hardship program that would allow me to only pay $1000, but I could only break in the two payments on $500 right now.. any other payment arrangement would have charged me $50 in fees every time I made a payment. She said her name was ******** **** and the extension that the recording gave me after transferring me to a hold line when I didn’t oblige, was 600. They stopped answering. When I returned the call, she was screaming at me saying that she wouldn’t give me the address. She wouldn’t give me the phone number and that if I put this much effort into paying my bills, I wouldn’t be in this situation. She then said she was going to dismiss me and send it to court and hung up making a legal decision for me. I called back multiple times and everybody who eventually answered the phone was rude. They were mad that I was calling and kept trying to transfer me to her. There was no supervisor I could speak with. She said she was the only one that I could talk to and then when I tried to call back an additional time the number was no longer in service. They said “Jacob, something, and w-something mediation” by accident and another said they were a law firm but no one would give me the information about my account that I was asking for. One man said he didn’t feel comfortable giving me the company information and don’t call back.
