Shortly after I conducted some legitimate financial business, I received a false collection notice in the mail. It was addressed to me using a previous married name that I haven't used in over 10 years. And on an MCI account I never had. I have NEVER used either MCI or SPRINT. When I called the number to inquire, the recording said I would be helped by a representative in approximately 16 minutes, I was able to hold about 10 then I had to hang up. I tried one more time and was told the wait would be approximately 17 minutes. I held for about 20 minutes then the line was picked up and hung up. When I looked online I found several warnings that this company was fraudulant, and I believe it. Fraudulant companies prey on people who are in the middle of a stressful financial transaction and they count on you just paying the debt and not questioning it. Also, due to the current business I'd been conducting I had a recent credit report and it is not on it and I've also had many credit reports over the last 10 years and it's never been on those.

They are certified with the BBB's. How could they be fraudlent. If you didn't have the bill, then someone stole ur id, ran up the service, didn't pay and now you're just hearing about it. That is how most people find out about id theft. It is an increasing crime, obviously. The other option: it maybe the provider you used was bought out by mci or sprint. If it is older than 7 years they're not going to take you to court about it or put it on your credit file.
