I got a call from this number today talking about I took out a payday loan from this company and they were going to have the authorities to pick me up from my home or my job if I didn't get my attorney to contact them in 30 minutes; however, I then in turn gave them my attorney's name and they told me it was too late to do anything about my situation. I knew it was a fraud though because I didn't take out a loan, but I was concerned because they had enough information on me to be suspicious.
Got a phone call today from the "National Processing Service" saying that I took out some payday loan (which never occured) and that since I failed to repay it I was going to be arrested tomorrow at my job. They said that I had bank statements to prove I accepted the deposit. They knew who I banked with but when I asked for my account number it was ALL WRONG. Then he told me my social security number (which was off by 1 number) so I told him that was wrong. Then he told me my home address which was correct except that I hadn't lived there in over 2 years, and have moved three times since then. At that point I started asking questions where did I work? He DID know that, but everything else wasn't adding up so I hung up on him. I don't think I ever gave the schmo a chance to ask me for money. I was a bit shaken that he knew so much information about me, but the fact that the first guy I talked to was foreign, and I called back to confirm the name of their "company", that guy was foreign too.
