CAMCO Capital Acquisition And Management Co. Fraudulent Activity Rockford Illinois

I am a son of elderly parents who received a phone call this morning (16 March 2004) from a Michelle (ext. 1367) at CAMCO Capital Acquisition and Management Co. of Rockford, Illinois. Michelle said that my mother owed $2,128.04 on a Mongomery Ward account. Michelle attempted to obtain my mother's Social Security No. and other private information. The representative from CAMCO verbally threatened my mother, and my father, stating that CAMCO would "ruin your credit" and "you'll lose your house."

My parents do not, nor have they ever, owed a deliquent amount on any account. My parents are in ill health. In fact, the phone call from CAMCO caused my parents great emotional distress. I called CAMCO and informed them that they were in error and not to call my parents again.

I informed CAMCO that my parents' telephone no. is on the National Do Not Call Registry, to which the representative at CAMCO, a Dawn at ext. 1367 (supposedly Michelle's supervisor) said she didn't care. Are the State Attorney Generals of Illinois and Florida, and the FTC investigating CAMCO for what appears to be a scam?
