Two weeks ago Mr Bagaki received a call from an unknown number. He answered the call and the young woman on the line asked if she was calling Bagaki Enterprises. He said yes, then she asked if she was speaking to Mr Bagaki. Again he said yes, then suddenly the connection was dropped.
He was suspicious about the call and contacted me to do some investigating.
A few minutes of digging in my database turned up the number and a company called Verifacts. I called them back using the number that was displayed on Mr Bagaki’s caller ID. I spoke with the receptionist and informed her of the situation. She looked up Mr Bagaki’s name and tried transferring me to the woman who spoke with Mr Bagaki. I was then transfered back to the receptionist, as the original woman was not available.
I asked her what exactly the company she worked for did, and why they were calling my client. She was unable to give specifics as to why Mr Bagaki was being contacted but did inform me that they verified peoples information for banks and credit companies.
I became immediately concerned when I realized Mr Bagaki was being skip traced. As Mr Bagaki’s financial counsel, I am privy to much of his financial information. I know there should be no reason a debt collector would be trying to verify his residence. With a flawless credit report and no outstanding payments, Mr Bagaki is in the clear.
I would like to take this brief moment of your time to make you aware of the skip trace. It is much easier than you think for others to locate you for a nominal fee. So the next time an unknown number appears on your caller ID, be caution of what you tell them, someone might be tracing you.
