Words of wisdom, Jenny, and all true. I've been hit three times in 48 hours with the same general message, but via three different phone numbers: this one in New Jersey, one in Green Bay, WI, and one in Shreveport, LA. I have a phone feature called "call rejection" that blocks them completely. However, I wonder just what kind of phone network these moronic crooks have at their disposal? I'm already sick and tired of putting these pukes on the rejection list. A possible source of my info may be because I'm an Internet junkie, and order merchandise very frequently online. It's just so easy for these <bleeps> to get your phone number!
Got the same call today. Never had a payday loan, but my ssn and other private info had been stolen and posted online a couple of years ago. That incident was reported to the police. These people might just be getting your info from the web, and that is probably where they got mine. Definitely not legit, don't give them any money. And block their number if you can. You might want to report it to your local police department so they can put in a report on it. Then if they call back, ask them to call your local police and reference the police report number.
Called for another person who I did not know left a case number called back was hung on twice, then asked to speak with supervisor, waited a while, finally told her what happened, told her I was filing official complaint with authorities
Just got a call, I will be bla bla.. same as all other call. I knew that it is a scam call. I did not answer call just left massage. I think I will call back and act like I am going to pay some $$$! Ha Ha.
