I received a call stating that I owed for a payday loan. When I told the guy I have never received a payday loan he stated I owed an application fee for applying for the loan. What a joke....COMPLETE SCAM!!!!!!
Yeah, I got a call from these friggin Idiots. They must be using a sat phone from Afganistan to place these calls. Depending on the time of day, you can get an answer, a busy signal, number not connected and others.
Daniel Davis is the name that I got from this non-english speaking fool who says he works for the US Government in the "Collections Department" and that if I don't pay "he never would tell me how much" that they would "shut off" my drivers license, "cancel my social security card" and I would be sent to jail for a very long time. He then said that he would then do the same to my wife if she refused to pay the debt that I owe the US. Government. Funny thing is, I actually do work for the Government and made a few calls just to make sure there were no collections on my student loans, which I already knew that is not how it works, but I thought for good measure I would check. So, with no debts to the Government, the next time Daniel called back I informed him I had no debts to the US Government and he then stated that it was his mistake and that the debt was for a payday loan. Which I have never had one. I have however tracked this down to where it originates. I filled out a home loan application with Lending tree, now, I don't know if their servers are hacked or if they are in on it, but I KNOW that is where this came from. The reason I know, is that is the only place I have ever used my work number as a contact number and that is one of the numbers Daniel is calling. He also called on of my references and told him to pay for me so I didn't go to jail.
These people call me as well, but I think they are hilarious......lol. I just play it off and act like I'm a different person other than who they're asking for and they tell me to tell Sheila that it's very important for her (me...lol) to call them.....ha ha ha. I don't even get mad, because I know they're not getting a dime from me.....ha ha ha......too funny;-)
Wow! It must be a coincidence that the people who claim this is NOT a scam don't use proper English!!! Are you guys from India? Get a freakin' life and quit bothering people. And you are definitely barking up the wrong tree with me... I don't have a job!!!!!!!
