Consumer Narrative
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Got a called, which seemed to be a scam. They stated that I owed 5/3rd bank XXXX dollars from XXXX. I hung up and called 5/3rd bank and they confirmed that I never owed money to them, I had an account prior to XXXX. I called back after speaking to 5/3rd bank and when transferred to the " case manager '' the receptionist wasn't muted and she was making a lot of negative comments. I asked what kind of scam they were running and she said they were sending it off to an attorney and hung up. They were predatory and pushing for me to pay over the phone. Insisting my current bank accounts would be frozen if it was not paid by end of business and an attorney im my jurisdiction would be filing suit.
