I received a call on my vm from Jim Hawkins stating that I needed to call about a matter of extreme sensitivity and if I didn't call or have my attorney call then good luck to me. When I called back I didn't get Jim Hawkins but a Joseph Hernandez. Both men had very heavy foreign accents and it was very difficult to understand them. The lines kept getting disconnected. "Jospeh" told me that I owed a pay day loan and couldn't verify the name of the company. He said that I received 16 emails and because I didn't reply to them that's why I'm being sued. I hadn't received even one email of the sort. He wanted me to fax him a note and have the fax notarized stating that I authorize him - not a company - but a person to withdraw money from my account and give my credit card number, exp date and 3 digit security code. He knew my aunt and uncle's names that I have used as a reference for a previous payday loan and also called and left a message at my job.
If you get a call like this it's a scam! Call the BBB and the Attorney General in your state as well as make a fraud alert to the credit bureaus. I was also informed to notify the Federal Trade Commission.
This morning I received a similar call on my cell phone, the man left a message with very bad english, " you or your attorney need to contact me asap, if not he said good luck. The scary part is they also called my work as well. Please if anyone has any advise .
Please beware its a scam.
