This is a scam company called Preliminary Prosecutions. They say they are part of the Check Fraud Department of the State of Texas. Per the Texas Attorney General's Office, no such thing exists. This "company" uses scare tactices to urge call recipients to give up their banking or credit card information. They will tell you that you bounced a check with a payday loan company and if you don't pay you will be arrested or taken to court. In most states, the county sherriff's office will deal with bounced checks, not a collection company. DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION. If you have taken out a payday loan, contact THAT company if you're worried about your check bouncing. I was told by the Attorney General's Office that some customer lists from national payday loan companies have been compromised and this scam is running rampant. If they call you, just hang up!
i got a call from these guys telling me that i had 2 allegations against me and i needed to talk to an investigator they knew my name i told them i was in a meeting and hung up this isnt true i have never done anything wrong for an investigator to call me and if i did they wouldnt call you from this weird number and they wouldn introduce themselves this lady wouldnt and then tried to transfer me to a guy that i hung up on.
this is a bs scam. they calim to be a check investigation firm and say you have a bad check out and your going to go to jail for it if you dont send them (by wire transfer) money TODAY. I reported them to my state attorney generals office and they were already in their database
Out of the blue these people started calling me saying they were sending a policer officer over to arrest me for check fraud with a payday loan. Then called back and said I needed to wire them $559 to cover the fraudulent check. They also said they have been tryingn to get in touch with me for months, sending certified letters and phone calls (supposedly).
What the heck is going on. They said they did back round check and have my social security#. Now what do I do, go and change my social
Male calling himself Travis Sullivan with the "check fraud investigation unit" left message stating I was a "known affiliate" af a female name I recognized but haven't spoke to in nearly 3 yrs. I called back and was hung up on numerous times when I demanded to know who they represented. Ultimately they identified themselves as, Weinberg & Associates. I told them to remove my name from their list for reasons stated above & they said they would. Keep in mind, this collection agency has been calling for a year and stating they'd remove my name & they haven't yet, but that's the company that's calling you folks.
