Be smart people - do NOT fall for this. If nothing else, converse with the caller, recognize the loopholes in the conversation, and politely tell them you will "accept their consequences!" BTW - my caller was Daniel, and though he would not admit it, he was calling from India. A nice entertaining break in my work day - but not a thread of truth in what he said!

I am almost entirely certain this is a total scam. Everyone beware. I keep receiving phone calls for bogus products from these people with the Indian accents over the years, I must be on some horrible list somewhere. This was the first time they had a legitimate phone number but I am certain that they are not to be trusted.

They tried to convince me that they were trying to collect 102.76 for an overdue BMG Music Services account. I called BMG and they told me that my old account was long settled with zero balance. The account the Taphar (or whoever) agency gave me turned out to be for BMG video, which I have never had an account for.

When I called back the guy was really scary. He told me that I can believe or not believe but regardless he can gain access to all of my information and he can report negatively on my credit report and that there is nothing that I can do about it. I asked him for a single piece of personal information that he has for me and he said he has my name address and phone number and that is all that he needs to get access to my driver's license over the internet and any other information he needs. What can be done about these people?

While surfing the web one day, I came across an offer that said if you partake in 2 of the services offered, you would get a free item. As I clicked, I soon realized that they were asking for too much information, and with identity theft running ramped, I declined the offer. To my surprise, I later received a CD from B&G Music, one of the items I clicked on from the offer that I did not complete. I sent them the 3 plus dollars that the offer asked for and wrote “Please cancel” on the slip. I did not want to experience just what Takhar is doing now—collections.

I live in America and received a nice-nasty phone message from a Takhar rep, Aaron Taylor, just yesterday regarding a BMG Music account. I thought the same thing. The accent was very thick and must be from a call center outsourced to India. (an American news program did a story on this a few years ago 20/20 on ABC or Date line NBC) Anyway, he left a message telling me to "do the right thing" and call him back. He neglected to say who he was trying to reach!

I called back and spoke to a Nick, but his last name was not Jones. I was told by Nick from a Takhar office that in spite of sending in the form and money I already sent in to BMG Music, I still owed them 29.09. This Nick person kept trying to get my checking account number and credit card number. When I refused, he even said that I could deposit the money in "His" Bank of America account and still get credit for the payment. I thought it sounded fishy and having worked for a collection company before, I know the underhanded things that some of them do. He neglected to give me a file number. I called back and got a Romeo Castello. He did give me my file number. He also wanted me to call him back and give him the routing number on the money order that I agreed to send him. I just want it done and over with I can’t have my credit ruined over a mere 29.09!
