The coordinated scam campaign used multiple phone numbers including 855-362-0003 to contact victims while falsely claiming affiliation with Franklin Financial Corporation. Callers told consumers they had outstanding financial obligations or loan issues that required immediate attention and personal information. The scammers leveraged Franklin Financial Corporation's legitimate business presence to deceive victims into believing the calls were authentic.

Franklin Financial Corporation contacted me through phone numbers 656-221-1407 and 728-999-1883 as part of a coordinated debt collection operation. The callers claimed to represent Franklin Financial Corporation and demanded payment for debts while also directing me to get-itagpro.com for additional services. When I investigated further, I discovered this was part of a fraudulent scheme combining debt collection activities with deceptive product sales.

Franklin Financial Corporation contacted me through unsolicited phone calls claiming to be a legitimate credit reporting agency. They used high-pressure tactics demanding immediate payment for insurance premiums I never owed and tried to sell me unnecessary credit-related services. When I questioned their legitimacy, they became aggressive and tried to create urgency by claiming my credit score was at risk.

Scammer is attempting to collect on AD&D insurance premium. I have never done business that i know of with this company. The nature of the approach is suspect. Why have I not been contacted by them before? The amount would indicate a monthly rate and nothing I am doing has chamged for a year or more. The only Insurance I have purchased is a recent Mutual of Omaha Whole Life Rider which is no part of the PDF attached to this request. I used a PDF viewer on line to see the attachment and hope that if they attempted anything, this measure along with my Malware Protection software was able to isolate me. The PDF is in the form of a web link, and for that reason I can only copy nd past the link.

Nellie J. Franklin Rescue Network is a large network of scammers who continuously change the name of their rescue and are propably located in another country. He/she went under the name of Mike Williams Boxers until September 2025. She attempted to take $650 from me and I did lose $230 before the "rescue" asked for transfer of ownership money, in addition to the pet purchase. The pictures she/he used for advertised puppies are fake and the puppies do not exist. See attached where another person scammed asked a lawyer about this same rescue two weeks before I got scammed.
