Debt collection is a scary business. With the cutthroat nature of the business, companies can appear and disappear faster than their information can be found. Because of this, the multitude of scammers that have cropped up have saturated the business, making it difficult to tell who is legitimate, and who is not.

Scammers can work in many ways, either by impersonating a legal and currently working debt collection agency, or by finding what is known as a “Shell” Company. These shell companies are businesses that have long been out of business, and yet still retain their name and partial information on the internet, making them seem legitimate if a scammer were to pick one up.

Here is what you need to know about Amyfin LLC, and how to keep yourself safe if you are contacted by a representative from them.

How do I protect Myself against Scammers using Amyfin LLC’s Name?

This can be a difficult and tricky business, as being contacted by a debt collection agency can be harrowing. They will attempt to use any method available to them to try to elicit a payment from you, from harassing and threatening you with physical abuse, to calling you nonstop. Some scammers and agencies even use robocalls, having you called on a certain intermittent pattern so that you are forced to answer them.

The best way to fight against them before they start to harass you is to screen all of your calls and mails. If they say they are from Amyfin or any other Amyfin companies and agencies, you are able to hang up immediately. Many scammers are not looking for responses, but for voice patterns. If you speak to them, technology today is able to replicate your voice, and they may try to steal your identity in a worst case scenario. So do not give them any more time than is necessary.
