I received a call from Officer Steve Matthews with a heavy Indian accent. I applied for a payday loan and never received it. He said I needed an attorney and he had a warrant for my arrest. Scammers, it's ridiculous!
This guy did the same to me so I called the police and the local news station. Theres an investigation going on right now. He called back and left a really nasty message on my answering machine which the police recorded. He WILL be caught soon:)
Recieved a call from 253-220-0216 says it is loacted in Kent Washington , The person who called had a heavy indian or something like that accent said his name was Officer Steve Matthews and it was regarding a payday loan that my son had gotten so he says I explained to him or tried that my son does not have any payday loans and that it can be evrified at his bank This Steve Matthews got mad and threatened that he would be arrested and other threats I told him it can all be verified by bank statements that there was no loan He also would not give any imformation I have also looked for this company and it doesn't seem to exhist I also think that this guy and another guy are pulling scams to people his name he says is Shawn Marks and his number or one of is 973-805-1068 I also think that there is a scam with a company called ACS which doesn't exhist either legitiamtely they are sending e mails saying people owe for payday loans and I think they are all in this together SO BEWARE any one unfortuantluy with an indian accent I do not believe due to the scamming there are some other companies also scamming people
Yea he told me that he was going to go to my job with the police, and when I told him that I hadnt recieved any money he said "well just talk to the officers" and hung up.
The Indian accented gentleman called stating I had a federal case that a warrant was going to be issued and to call back the same number he was calling from. Said his name was STEVE MATTHEWS. When I asked Indian accented Steve Matthews how he got that name from India he said he didn't know what I was talking about and that he was calling from Washington D.C. I then asked him why he gave me the number to call if it was the same number he was calling, he said I had to ask for someone different. I think this is bull, I'm not a criminal, but someone's got my information.
So I called these guys back.... a new Indian guy answered I asked for all the names that I've seen provided in several links about this kind of call. All of a sudden, none of those people work there... Steve Matthews, Leo Fernandez or John McCoy. Hmmmm, I wonder. Then I said, "That's not the name of the Indians you have working over there? Saying you're from Washington D.C. and really calling from Kent, Washington" He promptly hung up.
IT'S A SCAM, DON'T LET THEM SCARE YOU. Not too much they can do with your information right now. Just keep an eye on your credit report and bank accounts.
I also applied for an on-line pay day loan and never received it. Began receiving calls immediately from this number. When I pushed to know who they were I was hung up on. After repeated calls to the number and no one picking up the line.
I did report this to the FBI, they were not sure if they could take any action.
