"Gavin Thomas, Investigator" claiming to be collecting a an old payday loan debt, which I've never had.
First a case had all ready been filed against me, then when I asked for the case number, he said he didn't have it because the case was actually being filed in one hour.
He could not tell me what court the case was being filed in.
Then a case was going to be filed at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning in my state (although he didn't know what state it was and couldn't pronounce it) and the police were going to be coming to my work to serve me a summons.
When I asked to speak to the attorney that would be filing the paperwork and pursuing the case, they said they "couldn't know all the attorneys they had working for them"
I found the whole call quite amusing, as I'm an attorney and have a pretty good command on what happens when a case is filed. This is a mere annoyance for me, but it's appalling to think that these scammers are actually convincing some people to pay a bogus debt because they of these abusive scare tactics!
I even called the company they claimed to be representing to see if someone had fradulently taken out a payday loan in my name, but they didn't have any information associated with me at all.
I got the very same call today and they left me a message yesterday. I had this happen about six months ago also. Do you know who I can report this number to?
Just got a phone call that i had a payday debt from 2 years ago and had all my personnel information. He told my that at 11:00 in the morning they will be filling charges against me and will have me arrested at work. They said it would cost 5,000 to get out of jail. He told me if i sent 1800 then they would dismiss my case. He gave me information on how to send it western union but i only had an hour to do it in. They have called my work place and told them that i had 5 hours to call them or i would be arrested. They got mad when i didn't send money to them. Said they was going to have me arrested. Then they said my job is going to be screwed if i didn't send any money.
SCAM i called this guy and told him he was a scam and he told me to kiss his [***]. Please report this number to the California Attorney Generals office. They want you to send them money to a fax quick collect. i am a fraud investigator for a telephone company and we deal with this all the time. DO NOT SEND MONEY!!
