I got this call this am from 201-606-0324 saying they were Mike Flanagan calling from LX law firm about a suit that is being filed against me, i have no clue who these people are but they are foreign and make no sense, they can't even tell me what its for they say i should know already and they don't have to give me info I just need to pay this outstanding loan which I never had, what losers!
This number called me 14 times in 2 days and left 2 threatening messages from a guy calling himself Ken Cooper over a payday loan I never took out. After the second message I got mad and called them back. The first time I called them back I played along for a minute until they told me I needed to Western Union them some $, then I told them I wasn't legally allowed to use Western Union and could they come pick it up in person. The guy got mad and hung up on me. The second time I called back I asked for Ken and used his lines back on him, telling him he needed to pay me immediately or agents would drag him out of his work in front of everyone (exactly what he told me in the messages he left). He got mad again, called me something in another language, and hung up again. The third time I called back as soon as I asked for Ken and he heard my voice he set the phone to the side and ignored me for a while. He did that the next few times I called, and lately my calls just go to a full voicemail. It seems like if you bother them and waste their time they lose interest pretty quick, because I haven't gotten another call in almost a week now ;)
These guys pull their scam by scaring people into thinking they will get arrested and lose their jobs if they don't pay. The important thing to know is that you CANNOT be arrested over a consumer debt, especially if it is fake. It is also illegal to call your workplace to collect a debt, and if these guys were legit they would know that. When they started I informed my boss about what was going on, and the one and only time they called my work he informed them that what they were doing is illegal, and asked for their name, phone number, and company name. The caller immediately hung up and never called again.
Do not let these scammers scare you!!!!!! Take the fight to them and they will go away!
