If he visits you personally, ask for his
identity card of employment in the institution
from which you have subscribed the services.

details and your address and telephone number to
a third party.

Third party cannot represent your service
provider for such crucial and sensitive
information.
ADVICE:

Do not give any money to recovery agents as you
have no contract with them.

Give money to your service provider only against
proper receipt.

If any recovery agent calls you to any place,
don't go alone, take the police with you and get
them arrested. Plain clothes policemen will

emergency, dial telephone number 100 and inform
the police control room your location.
