Thanks for including this thread, it just amazes me what people like this will do to try to scam people out of money.
REMEMBER
1. Never give any information over the phone, ask for it in writing and do not CONFIRM any information either. The information they may have maybe old or out of date and they are trying to get new info to harass you further.
2. NO valid debt collector is going to send you a message stating "Going to serve you at your residence or place of employment." If this was legit, don't you think they would have that info?
3. If you get a call from a number you do not know, DO NOT ANSWER, let it go to a non-personal voicemail and look up the number on here. If it is a reported scam, just block the number and report it. If it is not, and they leave no message, Apprently it was not that important. If the number continues to call and leave no message, just block it to be safe, you never know.
Advance fee loans are illegal period and in some states, so are the payday loans. Please be aware the scammers may also claim down the road that you have taken a loan and try to extort money from you that way as well!

I have been getting these calls for over 14 months. They always threaten to come to my work.I don't owe any loans all bills paid up. I find it interesting that hmmm.... how come if i owe this debt it's not on my credit reports. They are bottom feeders.
