I received the same disturbing call today. They mention that they are an "officer of the Federal Goverment and a warrant was going to be issued for me". Apparently, I was given a payday loan in May 2011 and when they tried to get their money back, it was returned. Funny thing is....I didn't even have this checking account in May. I printed out a bank statement just to prove to them that no such deposit of $300 was ever given to me and the man begin yelling at me. I was threated that I was going to jail if I did'nt comply. He then went on saying if I pay today with a credit card, I would not have to appear in court. After arguing with this non-English speaking person, I called the police and reported them. This is a complete scam and I'm sure many people out there fall for it, but I'm not one of them!!!
i started receiving calls from these people after i went online and applied for a loan, they say they deposited 250.00 into my account and when they went to get it back my bank would not let them take it, i got statement from my bank all the way back to may when i opened my account and there has never been 250.00 deposited into my bank just i like i knew, i would know if i had an extra 250.00 in my bank, anyway now everyday i get at least 2 calls at work harrassing me about charges are going to be filed agaist me and my ss#, and i receive at least 2 to 5 calls at home, all very threatening and all from people who you can barely understand and nasty messages about if i choose to ignore all they can say is good luck to me an my attorney, yet when i ask them when was this money put in my account, what day was it , what bank was it, what account #, well of course they do not have any of that information, but yet they have the nerve to call and make threats. i hope we can all get this reported and send some nasty people to prison.
I received a phone call from the same people.. I could barely understand him.. he left a message stating he was an officer from the federal government and that a warrent was going to be issued for me regarding a loan.. they have the last 4 of my ss#... What can I do to protect me and my family..? Has these people accessed your accounts..?
I too have received 15 or 20 calls from this number same message just today at my work. I don't know about the rest of you but I applied for a pay day loan and I believe this is were the info is coming from because i suppliedmy social and account info etc on a application to one of those supposedly trusted lender matching sites. The reverse number look up tells me its a halo wireless phone number based out of Los Angeles CA. I plan on contacting my local police and the bbb and whoever else there is. Has nayone found any other info?
I too had the same issue. They called me many times at work and at home. I'm getting so irritated. I'm afraid that these calls are going to affect my job. How can I stop this from happening. Should I change my number...
