They called my office after 5:00 PM on 1/20/2010 and someone name Linda Andrew asked that I call them back. I did not because I believed it was a scam. She called my office again this morning and asked why I did not call her back and I told her it was because this was part of a scam and she was not to call me back at work again. She argued that she was not calling my place of employment and that this was not a scam and she was going to transfer me to her supervisor. I hung up and a short time later I received a call from her supervisor however due to the language barrier I could not make out her name. I advised her not to call me at work and that I also called the attorney general's office in Maine and she wanted to know whose name I gave them or who did I file the complaint against. She quickly told me she had a meeting to go to and that she would call me back and I better take the call.
Better Business Bureau has issued a national alert about phony debt collectors that are calling consumers nationwide and claiming that they have defaulted on a payday loan and will be arrested if they don’t pay immediately.
Claiming to be lawyers, the scammers say they are with the “Financial Accountability Association” or the “Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans” and often have the victim’s Social Security, old bank account numbers or driver’s license numbers as well as home addresses, employer information and even the names of personal friends and professional references.
Phone numbers that the scammers are calling from include: 949-468-5107, 415-200-0274, 213-784-5745, 408-715-1614 and many others.
