That is so awesome you've taken steps to do all this. I also got a call with exact same way from 210 area code and 513 area code with all my information threatening me that they will levy my bank account and will do some jail time for the cash central loan back in 8/2012. This lady named Ms. Jones was telling me that you are being recorded for all conversation and I asked her with what authority and approval do you have to record this conversation....she couldn't say anything.
I asked her for the amount of the loan, exact date of the loan to make sure this is legit and she started getting mad and hung up. How are these people getting my info? I think they're targeting those who has maybe applied the loan (i have before) online. These thieves have to be stopped!!
My boyfriend just got the same calls. Total fraud. They told him to pay $1,601 or they would proceed with arrest warrants. We reported them to the FTC. Don't worry, you are not in any kind of trouble. Have a good day. :)
I just got the same call. They wanted me to pay 600 to stop the warrent. When I told him no he got nasty. He could not give me a warrent or case number. He didn't know what county was issuing the warrent. Put on hold twice.
I just had a message from this number. First of all they can not threaten arrest, you need to report them to the attorney generals office. Mine said it was pre-trial. You can not be arrested for a payday loan. Look it up. Also look up the Fair Debt Collections Act and tell them they are in violation of it. They always say they are an investigator.
See especially number 4

I received a call from this number stating that I owed on a payday loan in the amount of $976 and if I did not pay it I would be arrested with three felony charges. I spoke with Monica Grey. This is a scam. Please do not give out any information.
I received a call they were issuing arrest warrant for me about a pay day loan. Never took one out. They refuse to give name of there company who I took this loan out with. I advise them the DECLARATION requires proof they hung up. Scam
