I received a call stating they were with the Auborn Law Firm (sounded like the call center in India from Slum Dog Millionaire). Saying I was being sued because I was listed as a co-signer. I told the man that if I was being sued, I wanted the other defendants names, case number, what court it was filed with and the Plantiff information. He told me he could not provide that. I hung up.
These people have been calling my wife a few times a day. A heavily accented foreign man demanded that her or her attorney call them back or she can press her luck as the consequences fall around her. We tried calling them back to ask them what this concerned. They informed my wife that we defaulted on a pay day loan. We asked them what company? They put her on hold and left her there for 5 minutes before she hung up. I admit that we have used some pay day loans in the past. But if anyone is familiar with most modern pay day loan companies they usually automatically deduct the money from your checking account electronically.
This screams of a scam to get money from people.
Does anyone have idea of the name or any other info about these people?
I just received a call from this number and I had a very threatenting voicemail from some foreigner. He instructed me or my attorrney to call him back asap or there would be consequences! He said to either call or he wanted to wish me good luck!! No legitimate creditor is going to call and leave a message like that!! I called to confront this guy and first time, the call did not go through. Second time, I got a message system. Now if this is someone that people owe money to, they would not be answering their phone with a message. The guy identified himself as "Mike". Not a pleasant man. Please do not give this person any money.
go online to FBI and you can sent e-mails explaining the phone calls and continued harrassment. FBI said they cannot do much about it but maybe if everyone reported them the FBI would be overwhelmed with complaints and they would be forced by public opinion to do something. These people are searching to obtain more confidential information from you -- anything that you will be willing to provide to them over the phone since most people are scared when they receive these calls and will provide any information in hopes to send them away. Once they get your information, then they will be able to obtain your identity fraudulently and do whatever they want with it. They have called me three times today alone both from this phone # and another 516 area code. I swear its the same funny foreign voice. You would think they are tired of me hanging up on me, but they are very persistant.
Same thing. Thomas Wright is who he claimes to be. Left a very threatening message and just to clear the air up.... I WILL ONLY PAY AMERICANS money so if you are a debt collector and I owe you money, you damn well better have an associate who speaks proper English.
This guy called again and I was where I could answer. This time he is "Thomas". I asked what he was needing and he said my information so that he could sue me? I asked what was I being sued for and he said a payday loan, which I have never gotten. I asked when this was supposed to have taken place and he said March 2010. I told him it was illegal to call and tell someone over the phone that and there was a paper trail that had to be in place before suing anyone and he needed to send me something in writing and I would give that to my attorney. Needless to say, he hung up on me!!
