Just happened today with my wife. Didn't find out till after she told me. Guy said he was Jim Griffin on a voicemail, saying there was a complaint filed against her and that he would serve her papers unless she called that 718-412-8699 number. She calls it and guy calling himself Mark Wilson from Lincoln and Lawson law firm sounded off her social security number, asked her if she knew a couple people (she did) and said in 2011 she applied for a PayDay cash advance loan for 400$ but never paid. Threatened to call her work every day and serve her with papers, told her she would be in and of court for years and the total would be closer to $1,000. My wife was scared and said she couldn't pay, he put her on hold, and came back with an offer for her to pay $213 over the phone by credit card and the Payday company would consider the matter resolved. My poor wife was scared and paid it. As soon as she told me I knew it was a scam, the address he gave we hadn't lived in since 2009 and according to him, she applied for the loan in 2011 from that address. Not to mention lawyers don't resolve things that way. Called the bank and immediately canceled her bank card and they are crediting the money back to our account, and the bank is filing charges. My wife's only crime was being too easily scared but he must of really worked her over verbally. These crooks knew just enough information about her to make her think it was legit.
