Received a call from this number this morning, wouldn't tell me what it was about, but knew my street address as well as my place of employment. I called the phone company and they put a block on this number, they thought it was a scam. When I told the caller that I knew it was a scam or some sort of fraud he laughed. Scary, but know some people will be scared enough that they will send money. This needs to be STOPPED!!!!!!!!!
They have been trying this scam for some time. They called me last year from a different number and I called them and told them that I knew it was a scam and to stop calling me. They continued to call me and I reported them to the NYS Attorney General's Office as well as the BBB, that finally got them to stop calling me. They even started calling my job. The funniest of it all was when the first person called she didn't even leave a phone number and I couldn't even understand what she was trying to say.
This has been an issue for me for over 2 yrs. this is 3rd time these scammers keep calling me on my personal phone and every day at work. I have reported in past obviously nothing is being done. It started with a scam connected to Advance America though I didnt have any loans or outstanding loans. It was a payday loan I had with CashNetUsa/leaked info from online application. Advance America and CashNetusa have been aware of issue but this has gone on for way to long. They are barely understandable and middle eastern accents, always different names. They say they are with federal Investigation department. I have reported to athorities and the FEDERAL TRADE REGULATION. Its humiliating and I cant bare it anymore that I have to deal with this just cause my information was leaked from the internet for applying for something I needed do at that time. I need my same number because of my job and business cards,etc. And something needs to be done. there are different numbers and most you cannot call back, another number is415-952-5630
I have gotten these types of calls for over 4 years, ever since I applied for a payday loan on the internet. These people are scammers and they are a large telephone banks in India trying to steal your money. Remember, you cannot be arrested for failure to pay your bills. I wish our government would apply some political pressure on India to close up this dishonest industry which seems to be flourishing and is hurting many American citizens.
Yep, I got a call just like what you see in the letters above, a guy who can't speak English properly -- threatening a lawsuit and arrest and all of that -- the same idiot called me a few weeks ago from a 770 number. I made the mistake of getting a payday loan through the internet -- I got the loan, but my SSN leaked out -- I called the cops, but unless the person makes a death threat, there's not much they can do about it -- but take careful notes of when he calls you and what he says, There are phone harrassment laws. Watch your Caller ID when someone calls, and have your answering machine take care of the call if it's "out of state" or "uniknown caller".
Yep - just got about 7 calls in a row on my cell phone from them.....I never answer! I also made the mistake of getting a payday loan (and yes I paid them back)....I know it is un-nearving...but try not to answer the phone and never give them money. If you really do owe on a loan it is within your rights to have paperwork sent out to you - you are not going to be arrested at home or at work - it doesn't work that way!! The truth is - if you were really being sued you would have received paperwork regarding the lawsuit either by certified mail or hand delivered by a messenger!!
