Nobody put you as a reference. We have received calls from this number also (as have many others). They are scammers, trying to get personal information out of you. Tell them NOTHING!! If you can, block their number. I reported them to the authorities already, but still keep getting the calls.
Received a call from (213) 261-0609. I've done my research on them, they are a bottom feeder bad debt collector known as M Callaghan and Associates, based in Buffalo, NY. The caller claimed to have an affidavit of malicious intent, as well as 2 counts of alleged check fraud against me, which is obviously a scam. The caller said they will order a "stay of execution" to the clerk's office if I call them back at (866) 402-4043. Of course, they want my SSN and DL # when I call back, but it will be a cold day in Hell before they ever hear from me! Be forewarned, folks, don't call them back, and don't give them ANY information whatsoever if you're unfortunate enough to accidentally answer their call. They are crooks, plain and simple! Hope this info helps!
Just got a call from this #, stating if i dont call them back "they dont know what will happen". wtf?.. then left some case #.........left some 800 # which doenst match the caller id which is a 213 area code....jesus, get a life and a real job!

I received a call describing the above, PayDay loan, etc.etc., saying something about fraud checks and being turned into Check Fraud systems. I called this morning asking for the information to be sent to me explaining the file they have on hand. They demanded a debit card to pay 300.00 - or Money Gram. I said no, and when I asked for them to send me the information in the mail or fax, they hung up on me. When I try to trace this company down, this is the site I found online. It is a scam!
