Golly gosh I am so glad i looked up this number and saw that I wasn't the only one suffering with these ppl. The same thing happened to me today, they called my work up scaring my boss as well as myself, I tried to call and the 'man' James Smith said cops are coming to arrest me at my work place tomorrow. I said wth for and he told me for doing an online loan. I said since when do ppl get arrested for trying to get an online loan...I told him I never got one that I had not had my account long enough to qualify and I can show my damn bank statement proving that I had no loan go into my bank account. He said I can show that in court and that I will be going to jail for at least 6 months. So I called my police officer friend at the station and he told me that if I was to get arrested that no one would be calling me to warn me about that fact. So he told me to call my banks fraud department and change my account number and tell them what is going on. So I am on the phone with the bank as I type. This was scaring the hell out of me for sure. But I feel at peace now I know I am not the only that has been threatened with being arrested. Sorry you all have had to go through with this everyone. Well the bank is telling me apparently their is some suspicious activity going on where someone is taking out 7 cents at a time so I am closing this account down and having to get another one. So just to tell anyone else out there DO NOT APPLY FOR ONLINE LOANS, it isn't worth it! I didn't even realize money was being taken out of my account till I looked at my statement and spoke to the banker on the phone. But she can see I did not RECEIVE a loan into my account. And we are closing it as we speak. So everyone be forewarned!
I rec'd the same calls as most of u have. He calls around 730 am every morning frm this number. He leaves threatening msgs saying he gonna come and arrest u if u dont respond. Lol. So I called His name he gave me was David Miller.. He sd my ss # and my most recent employer... Scary scary scary... He mentioned there was a lawsuit filed against me and was coming to my place of employment to arrest me..Of course i didnt verify my ss # or place of employment but the info he gv was true.. When I asked about the lawsuit, he said it didnt matter and hung up lol right then i knew it was a scam. But its scary tht he knew my ss # and employment..I had never before entered my ss # on website until about a month ago i applied for online pay advances. ...BIG MISTAKE!!!
Same thing here. Such BS - chic tried to claim she didn't know about my so called "case" against me and my social security number because she was a paralegal. I told her that if she was who she said she was she would know everything about my case as I too am a paralegal. She tried to get nasty and I did the same right back because she didn't make any sense. Supposedly the FBI is aware of this. Let's see if our tax money can get it done....
Under the FDCPA They are not allowed to do the following:
False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
• falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
• falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
• falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
• misrepresent the amount you owe;
• indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
• indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.
Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
• you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
• they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
• legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.
I asked if they had a Debt of Warrant, in which you will REALLY get sued normally in your State, the State’s Attorney’s Office. These people were of Indian decent with heavy accents!
