Scam
Date: Wed, 04/06/2011 - 10:17
This company is harassing me about $180.75 that I supposely owe Columbia House from 2007. I have never been a member of Columbia House, nor has C.H. ever reported anything to my credit score (I watch it monthly). They refused to give me proof of my order and kept directing me to their website - "www.takhargroup.com"- teling me to input the file # I was given, which I refuse to do.
The kicker is that today the # they called me from was a # local to my city, but yesterday, it was a number from CHINA. The # I was given to call back was 866-441-5558.
I had fun explaining the debt collection rules & rights to this guy, who seemed to scoff at it when I repeatedly stated he's legally obligated to prove I owe the debt. And it took him a full 5 minutes before he told me how much I supposedly owed. I actually had to ask how much they're trying to get out of me before he told me.

Hi,
Yes this sure is a scam. Never ever give your private details like address, bank account no:, social security no:, etc to them. Next time they call you, get their address and meet a lawyer to solve this case if they harass.
