Camco (Capital Acquisitions And Management Company) Contacted me also and are claiming I owe money on a credit card I have never had. Ripoff! Rockford Illinois
I received a letter last week from this company claiming I owed over $2,000.00 to them because they purchased some records from some company that I have never done business with. I called their offices. I was told the original account was held by a credit card company. I told them I had never done business with the credit card company or the company that they had purchased this from. They told me what the original amount was and there was quite a difference between that and the $2,000.00+ they were asking for. I questioned that.
I was told the original debt had been made in the 1990's and that penalties and interest had been adding up over the years. I asked when did they make this purchase. Answer: In July, 2003...excuse this is now October and they are just now contacting me. They told me they have been doing a full background investigation on me. They had a lot of information they should not have had, yet the letter was not addressed in my current name.
They said they had contacted my place of employment and verified my employment. Hmm...my boss has not mentioned anything and again, who did they ask about, me or the name they printed on the letter. If they know soooo much about me then why don't they know my name. I even told them that this situation felt like a scam. I told them I wanted a copy of all paperwork and documentation because I know it is my right to be fully informed. If they have done all this research on me and my family, then I have a right to see it in writing. I was assured I would receive a copy of everything by tommorrow (Firday).
My husband and I discussed this situation. We have not had any credit cards since he and I got together which was in 1990. The only outstanding debt that I had before we met was paid off before 1993. Over the past thirteen years, we have checked our credit reports several times and this debt has not been there. Lots of questions and not enough answers.
Today, (Thursday) I received an affidavit and assignment sign by Zoe J. Smallwood and Notarized by Sara Isley. In this letter, it states that they are doing business at: 303 N. Main St. Rockford, Ill 61101. It also says that they did an "examination of records". Excuse me...I want to see those records and examine them for myself.
This sounds and feels like one real big scam to rip people off.

As stated previously, the company was to send me copies of all documents and papers and I was promised that I would receive these today (Friday). Well, I just checked the mail and it is no surprise that there was nothing.
I asked my boss if they have ever been contacted by this company (by phone or in writing) to verify my employment as they had told they had done this. My boss and other supervisors all said they have not had any one contact them about me.
The company in question lied to me!!!
Then I went to the bank to see what they suggested to do about this situation. The bank also took note that the "notarized seal" on the Affidavit is NOT raised or embossed. It looks fake. The bank also said that if they had done all this mega investigation on me then they should know my real name and from the letters I have received, they don't. One of the bank's ideas is to contact the Attorney General of your State.
I will be contacting the Attorney General of my State and I encourage anyone who has been harrassed or harmed by this company do the same.
We have all been describing this company as a "Rip off" but a better description is: They are trying to SCAM and CON people out of their money by using possible FRAUDULENT methods.

You are the fourth person to post a note about this company tonight alone. It sounds like a large scale scam going on, and one that needs to be address by law enforcement IMMEDIATELY! If there are at least 4 of you today on this one website, imagine how many people there are in the entire country in this situation, and how many of them will be stupid enough to send the requested money. CALL THE POLICE and get this company reeled in.
