Had a call today from someone in LA. Ask for another person who had this number before us. I told him to remove our number from their calling list. He said he couldn't. I said with all this technology, you CAN remove our number since the person you ask for no longer has this number. Well, he said I can do it IF you send us money. I said you are nuts, no way am I sending you any money and hung up.
Now how can we get these types of calls to stop? I've had about around 20 calls in two weeks from companies asking for the person who had our number prior to Oct. 28, 2011. Evidently she was a deadbeat and owed everyone in the country as most of them have been collection agencies. But the other day one came for her and to tell her she was qualified for the loan. Should just let the phone ring I guess when I see on Caller I.D. that it is from out of state or a private number.
Same caller..my ss#...never took out loan..ask that they send me something in the mail..said they could not...he said remember my words...ugh..hate this!
This across the water A**hole has been calling my cell like the rest of you guys. Son of a female dog broke the law, and the rule by calling my job today...IT IS ON!!!!! I feel a lawsuit coming on....First of all he's going by the name of "Deputy Jacob w/Central Investigation Dept. of Law Enforcement...use threatening, scare tactics, that does not work with me...I know this may sound harsh and cruel...but I told him he should have died in his momma's womb...He pissed me off with some of the crap he was saying.....Then he would call and breathe heavy in the phone..PERVERT!!!!! I will be investigating and researching for a way to shut him, the company he's supposed to be representing, and any one else affiliated with this Jerk...
I too was called by this person today saying I had a complaint against me and I needed to turn myself into the local state police. He said he was from the local state police but calling from a California number. Well I got news for him I work for the department of defense navel division so I will be reporting him to the N.I.C. that's the Navel Intelligence Center so I think a long prison sentence will be involved if they catch him. Don't mess with the government.
I received a phone call from this number on 10-5-12 from someone that tried to get me to confirm my address, bank account information, SSN, etc. and then transferred me to their supervisor. His name is Shawn Davis and said he was calling from U.S. Cash Advance. He spoke very broken English!!! He claimed there was a complaint against me from a payday loan I supposedly took out in July (which I did NOT) and that I owed $300 on the loan and almost $480 total that includes interest. He said they tried to take the money out of my bank account and it was declined!!! I am in the process of closing that account... keeping the bare minimum in it until I can get to another bank. Then today, I received a phone call from 609-318-3142 who claimed he was from a legal department with American Cash Advance and that there was a lawsuit against me for $300 and that he was calling to try and resolve the issue. I did not catch his name - couldn't understand him either... very broken English!!! I turned the tables and started asking him questions... for starters... now the company is American Cash Advance and last Friday is U.S. Cash Advance... I asked if it was the same company and he said yes. I told him that I have done some investigation and found out that this company were fraudulent debt collectors and that I had contacted the FTC, FBI, CIA and BBB (I haven't ... but it seemed to shut him up... he hung up on me). So, if he calls back I plan to find out more information. BUT, I am definitely going to close my bank account. If he had enough information to call my phone and know my home address and probably my SSN, I would imagine he has my bank account information. Can't figure out why or how... but I'm taking the offensive on this!!!
I had the exact same phone call today!! They had my date of birth, my Ssn and the last 4 of my bank account number. I have put a fraud alert on my information so if they try to anything with my info they can't. I work for a local sheriff's department and I know I dont have any loans that are unpaid. This is just ridiculous and as far as I know there is nothing that can be done to these ppl. Just take proper percausions and watch your bank accounts and protect yourself by putting a fraud alert on your info. You can go to www.transunion.com to do this and it will let other credit companies know you have done this.
