This is absolutely a SCAM! I received a call from John Miller. He is calling from a call center and has a heavy middle eastern accent. John doesn not say what company he is calling from but tells me that it important that I do not disregard his call and if I do, then good luck to me. I think I will take my chances and not call back.
Received a call from this number. Man said he was an attorney and that I could have an attorney present or have one appointed. He asked for me by my first name only, said there was a fraud case open against me. Asked if I'd ever had a fraud case against me before and I said No. He said I received $825.00 loan that was not paid back and the company that loaned it to me opened the case because they didn't think I was going to pay it back. I have never received any money, no check, no card, not to bank account. I told him this and he said it didn't matter, that if I didn't pay it within 48-72 hours, an officer would come to my door and give me a paper and take me to jail for 30 days, plus bond, court costs and lawyer fees. I was never given an exact amount to pay, an address to send it to or an option to pay the debt off over time. I was never given the name of the firm he works for or his last name, said his first name was Kevin. I repeated that I have never been approved for a loan nor did I receive any money and he said I would be seeing the police at my door in a couple of days and be going to jail. The phone number comes up as a Locksmith in the DC area but when I called the number back, I got a firm called Garner & Douglas Legal Assoc. saying the loan was from a web loan company called American Payday Cash. I was given a case number and the last 6 digits of the account the money was sent to.
I just got the same call at my work from 202-621-2475 claiming to be the same law firm. I called local police department and they said that it was fraud. But it still has me freaked out because they had too much info about me.
Hi Rose, I just received the same phone call and I did take out a loan, however, I was quite aware of the scam because of my local news reported it about 2 months ago. So what I did, because I was not in default and it was paid off, to them was flipped the script on them and called them back and challenged them by calling them out ( saying they were a fraud, scam) and if they call me again with that BS that I was going to have the police at their place of work (wherever that is) and have them arrested for harassment. So if they sound like they are from India, do not let them intimidate you because it is a SCAM!!! Just hang up!
