Apparently some desperadoes of the structured settlement secondary market are spoofing competitors, using their competitor's names in their marketing activities to circumvent telemarketimg laws.
In a October 2013 Better Business Bureau complaint, initially directed against 123 Lump Sum, which was resolved to the customer's satisfaction , a consumer on the Do Not Call list was not amused when they received a telemarketing call.
123 Lump Sum responded (again to the customer's satisfaction) as follows:
"123LumpSum has been notified that other less reputable competitors may have used our name in some of their random calls and marketing activities and we are looking into those allegations" - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/structured-settlement/123-lump-sum-in-hallandale-fl-92006565/complaints#sthash.KGyLJ9F5.dpuf
I previously reported about
Caller ID spoofing after receiving reports that a seller received a sequence of calls from the same company from different area codes.
Perhaps "Marcellus Wallace" was right and it's time to get together with some friends with a figurative "pair of pliers and a blow torch and get medieval on the asses" of those who would stoop to these depths.
If you are a member of the structured settlement secondary market and have evidence of telemarketing or website spoofing feel free to contact me. The perpetrators need to be identified.
Members of Congress, attorneys for injured parties, attorneys general and the mainstream news media need to be informed of yet another activity of the secondary market's seedy underbelly who are encouraged like flies on roadkill due to a lack of market controls.
