I got a call from a lady with an accent leaving messages for me to call back. She said that if I didn't the only thing she could do was wish me the best of luck as the situation unfolded on me. So I tried calling the number back (this was at about 11pm) and got a message saying something to the effect of the caller was unavailable. Sounded like a voicemail on a cell phone to me that had not been set up with a name. I called the number back the next day and a guy with a heavy accent like the lady had on the message answered and said this is the "Cybercrime Unit" and proceeded to say that I had applied for a payday loan with EZ Loans on the internet and that money had been wired into my account and that when the company went to take the payment out that they couldn't so civil charges were being filed on me in a court. I told the guy that I didn't know what he was talking about and then he asked me how I wanted to proceed with this case. I said "I don't know because I still don't even know what you're talking about. He then hung up and when I called back again he answered but said that a supervisor would call me back tomorrow. This has to be a scam to try to steal identities.
I got the same message and when I talked to someone, he had a thick accent and said that it was a cybercrime investigation unit and that I had taken out some kind of a payday loan and did not pay the money back. Supposedly I was going to be sued in a civil court for this $600 if I did not settle out of court. Then he asked how I wished to proceed with the case and I told him I didn't even know what he was talking about and he hung up. I called back but this same guy said that he was going to forward my case to a supervisor. This has got to be a scam and I think I will get the local news station to investigate this.
I just received a call from this number...the number appeared as PRIVATE but the caller left a message to return the call to 3474791472. The message sounds exactly like the scammers who have been calling from other numbers, they leave this message that they have a legal issue against you and that you need to return the cal, all they want is for you to send them money. The message stated that if I did not return the call or if I disregarded the message that the only thing that they could for me was wish me good luck. Thick middle eastern accent and an American name but it is difficult to understand what they are trying to say.
I GOT THE SAME PHONE CALL BUT I ANSWERED IT AND SAID I WAS GETTING SUED BE EZ CASH A PAYDAY LOAN. THEY SAID I CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BY SENDING 350.00 BY FRIDAY.THE THING IS I NEVER DID BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE.
I got several messages from this number saying that I owe all this money and that there was a lawsuit against me. He wished by good luck and god bless if I don't get this taken care of. How do I get him to stop calling?
