Scamming - Fraud
I got several messages from Marlin Recovery from different state area codes. First was vague callback demand. The second was a text and message from Tammy, also vague about a debt associated with my phone number, now the third message from Michael Harris claiming to be a skip tracer.
I went to their website www.marlinrecovery.com, which wants your info but gives you nothing actionable about themselves. So I did a full nationwide business license search and all I came up with is a business called Marlin Recovery Resources out of a house in Alabama that operated for one year from 2016-2017 then closed. Reported the site to Google fraud as questionable.

lol. these clowns with their "skip tracing" threats....lol I guess they believe we are all fools
Marlin Recovery is real! Any past credit cards you have closed band have debt do they collect it for the Company.
I received a call from a man on 7-16-21 around 5:00pm, who left no name only a message to call back or he would refer this case to skip Tracig he called fro 1-312-292-7859.
They started calling me this week. They can keep leaving messages if they want but I have no debt beyond student loans. Anything prior to my bankruptcy was included in the bankruptcy. 🤷♀️
I've gotten calls from Chris, Jared, and Jason. The voice and wording is exactly the same and the length of time is exactly 32 seconds every time, indicating that it is a recording. They never mention who they are calling for, just to call them back "at this number" (but there's never a number) or go to the link on their website. They also call from numbers from around the country (New Jersey, Nebraska, Orlando, so far) or it just routes directly to voicemail.
