I received a call this morning from a gentleman who claimed to be an agent of the law firm of Gerald E. Moore and Associates. I believe that the call is most likely that of a debt collector, for some old debt which I have been unable to pay from years past, or have simply forgotten about.
I tried to google the number left on the answering machine, and didn’t find any results. I did, however, run across an interesting story attached to a firm of the same name:
A few weeks ago, I recieved a message from some place claiming to be an ‘Attorney’s Office,’ with the phone number 866-448-8558, on my answering machine. So I called the place up and spoke to a representative who claimed that I was going to be sued for 5000 dollars if I didn’t pay. So I thought to myself… ‘wow, he’s filing a lawsuit against me.’ I asked which court he’s filing a suit against me in, and he told me he didn’t know. Hmm, a little suspicious. I told him I would call him back within 30 minutes, because I wanted to seek legal advice from my friend, who’s an attorney.
I called back this wonderlust of an Attorney’s Office, and I informed the representative that I would be recording my phone call with him, after all, if i make a payment agreement, etc, then I want evidence for my records. After he consented, I started yelling racial slurs at him (which is not illegal), and I told him that I do not do business with members of his race because I find them to be beneath me (which is also not illegal). I then proceeded to read some pages from Mein Kampf and I told him that I love Hitler and I made a few more derogatory comments about his race. Anyways, he started cursing me out, and he threatened to kill me, and since I had it on tape, all I had to do was file a lawsuit. Low and behold, I won!
If you want to beat a collection agency, do something like that. It’s a lot more fun than paying, and hey…it helps relieve stress
