They used fake names like John Parker and Eugene Williams. They call me as much as 10 times in one hour leaving very threatening messages saying that the police will get me and that I'm about to be sued. They call for my husband and they call for me saying that my husband illegally used my name for a loan. We never got any loans!!! If either one of us owed money, we would have received a notice from the courthouse in our state and received a notice from a collection ageny, not constant harrassment from some African guy with a very strong accent that I cant even understand that changes his name every other day!
Just a heads up...........it is very difficult to stop them from calling, you just need to start watching the calls that you are answering. This has been going on with me for off and on for almost a year. It stops for a while and then it starts again. They are simply trying to find that person that will actually send them money. If anyone understands the legal process..................if they were going to have you arrested they wouldn't tell you first, incase you would run. (and my favorite "download a warrant")...wtf.......who downloads a warrant. They also told me that my family would be arrested as an accessory to theft. IF you listen very closely in the background, you will hear almost the exact same message being played in the background. sometimes in different voices. they also change phone numbers every few times they call you. makes it hard to find them. I actually understood the name of the place they said I owed money too and I called them. They were very surprised that their name was being used in this scam. They checked there systems and I was nowhere in there and they can't even lend in my state. SO if you actually owe money to a lender that can not loan in your state and a collector buys it? you still don't owe the money. The loan was legal...........just a tip off the subject,
HANG UP ON THEM. IGNORE THEM. DON'T ANSWER THEM. DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE MESSAGES.
Calling me again, new month, new number, same old scam....I know it's fake, but it's annoying. I just don't understand why nobody is doing anything about it or at least telling about it in the media.
Court case coming up, you better call me back. Then when you tell them their thieves and scammers and you aren't going to pay them anything ever, they get mad and yell and hang up. But at least they stop calling for a few weeks.
Getting REALLY tired of these freaking people calling me about something I have never had!!!! They will stop for about a week then start calling my phone every two hours. All of this started about two months ago...GO AWAY!!!
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION!!!!! THEY ARE FRAUDS, THEIVES, AND CON-MEN!!!!!! Here is what happened to me today....
I was called by this number twice today and a man named Mark Brown with a very thick accent tells me that I'm being sued for a $300 cash advance loan that I never applied for. He said the money was deposited to my checking account in November 2010 and when they went to withdraw the amount on the day it was due, the account was closed. He insisted that I resolve the matter immediately, but I was driving and couldn't deal with it at the moment. When I argued and told him that I never received or applied for the loan he was speaking of, he got angry, yelled at me that I will be receiving court papers and such in the mail then hung up on me. I called him back when I got home and he had a different accent when he answered the phone. He told me to "hang on", covered the phone WITH HIS HAND and came back with the original accent. When I told him I was home and could take his name, he said "Mark Brown", I asked for the name of the company he works for, he said "Cash Advance". I asked which one, he got angry again and said "Look Lady, do you want to resolve this RIGHT NOW or not?!?!?!" I told him I would like to research it first so I could figure out what was going on and why I am being "sued". He slammed the phone down and hung up on me.
Long story short... It's crap. Don't let them stress you out. Just don't answer any phone numbers you don't recognize.
