[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My credit reports are clean.

I’m suspecting it’s a scam, but it’s weird that the guy is from a legit collections agency but has a LinkedIn profile where he’s a partner in a law firm. Very shady.

He did email me some blurry PDFs, but refused to mail the documents because USPS is not reliable.

I’ll contact HR on Monday and request payroll stubs.

I’ll ask him to provide all the evidence by certified mail or leave me alone.

It's possible for multiple attorneys to have the same name.  Is that linkedin profile in his email signature line or did you just Google his name?[/quote]

That’s the thing. I only googled the number he called me from, without any names. And this LinkedIn profile with the same name came up.[/quote]

OP, I am guessing someone found a LinkedIn profile of a real lawyer with a big law job, took his name/photo and made a fake LinkedIn profile using the name of a real collections agency.

So the person is a real lawyer. And the alleged collections agency is a real agency. The scammers are just using their likeness in a fake profile linked to the number you’re looking up.

Why don’t you message the real LinkedIn profile connected to the law firm or better yet, call the big law firm in NY tomorrow (using an actual phone number from their website) and ask whether this attorney is involved in debt collection work. If he legit does debt collection, then they should be able to explain yes he oversees our XYZ employment law practice that specializes is in employee overpayments or something like that. But odds are you’ll be tipping them off that he’s being used as part of a scam. [/quote]
