I also recieved a phone call similar to Karen's phone call. I have had a person with a heavy accented voice call me, giving me all of my info such as my name, phone number, address, ss number, email address. He said that I owed a company a sum amount of money. I really couldnt understand the company's name nor the amount owed, but I do know that he said that if I wanted to resolve the matter it would cost me $300 and sum dollars. I had to change my account number to my bank account and do a fraud detection against my ss number and my credit report. He also said that he would take action against my ss number with my local athorities. Today he called an left a message saying that we need to resolve this and the warrent for my aresst was filed. The first time when he called I said that I am not paying you anything for something that I have no knowledge of. Then I told him that I wasnt going to pay him any money and that I had a lawyer and he said he was an attorney for a collection agency. After I gave him a piece of my mind he got angry and said thank you and hung up the phone.
received a call from 7188197285 - sam wilson/stating he is calling from some legal office/speaks very poor english/saying I owe cash net for a payday loan. I don't have one with anyone by that name. he stated that I should stay home tomorrow night because I will be arrested. when I told him I knew this was a scam, he hung up on me. I called back and he wanted to know why I hung up on him. he then proceeded to tell me that I went to high school with him and we were married (really!!!!!?????). he then proceeded with profanities and I ended up hanging up on him. I have received several of these calls from different "people" who all sound the same. it's a shame that good people are harrassed by idiots like them trying to make a buck. they need to get a real job!!! and leave us alone. It is scary, but once you realize what they are doing, you can usually end up making them so frustrated that they hang up and don't call back until they find another pre-paid cell phone to use. it is scary at first, but if you don't let them intimidate them, they will move on to someone else, which is a shame, but there probably isn't any way to really stop them.
I got a call from 718-819-7285 and once I heard the accent, I knew they were the same scammers who called me last week from a different number. They said their company name is UNLD and asked me to hold so that they can put one of their attorneys on the line. I asked for their address and they pretended they didn't hear me by talking over my question, so I blurted out that I was tracing the call so that I could get their address. They immediately hung up on me. Wow. They keep calling me from a different number at least once a week and this has been happening since I applied for a pay day loan two months ago. It's annoying.
