I received a phone call today from this number from a foreign speaking man telling me I was a suspect for violating federal banking laws, theft by deception, and collateral banking. I was on the phone for over 30 minutes trying to decipher where the accusations were coming from and when these violations took place. He finally told me it was from a pay day loan in July of 2009 and was $3000 behind due to fees. He proceeded to tell me that this company by web address only www.paydaycash.com sent emails to me 3 months ago trying to get me to pay this money, he was willing to take $510 today only Western Union to settle the debt. I proceeded to ask him to fax me the info he was reading and told me he couldn't do that, that this was my notification of these charges. He did tell me ALL my information which was very intimidating I must say, but now after reading these testimonials regarding collection fraud, I feel I was being scammed. Thanks!
I have been receive these calls as well from this number (718)- 873-9666. They are saying the same thing that I will be arrested if I didn't pay them money for collection. I know this is a scam. Something need to be done to stop these people.
omg I got a call yesterday while I was at work on my cell phone from a guy name frank saying that he was with the department of crime prevention and that I was being charged with check fraud and credit card fraud.i then asked him where did these allegations come from and he couldn't give me a answer.i really couldn't understand what he was saying because of his heavy middle eastern accent so I asked to speak to a supervisor next thing I know he hung up on me.so I decided to call the number back but I never received an answer.i spoke with one of my co-workers and he said it was a scam we then proceeded to google the number and I read everyone's comments about geting calls from this number.THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE STOPPED ASAP IF ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER INFO ON THIS GUY PLEASE LET ME KNOW BECAUSE I'm READY TO GET THE POLICE INVOLVED.THANX
I also received a message from an Officer from 718-873-9666. His accent was so thick that I could not catch the name on my answering machine. I called back the person that answered the phone was the same voice I heard on my answering machine. But when I asked him was it him that left the message he denied it. I did ask where I was calling and he said Dept of Crime Investigations. These people need to be stopped.
