OMG! I just got this call today and they were saying the police were coming to my home Monday morning and if I didn't comply they were going to arrest me. they said i took out a payday loan from Bank of America, when do they ever do payday loans, I don't do loans. I said send the police to my house right now and I will be there in ten mins, I havent seen them yet and they called me at 12:30pm today.
A man named "Toni Shaw" called me at work twice...Once on Monday (5/18/09), and once today (5/20/09). I finally was able to talk to him today. He gave a call-back number of 410-713-4841 and 310-362-9322, both of which ring busy when I try to call back. He said he was with a law firm but I couldn't understand the law firm's name. He said there was a pending lawsuit against me for an outstanding payday loan, and he wanted the name and contact information of my lawyer. He was very illiterate and found complete difficulty trying to put words together to explain why he was calling (as if he was unskilled at creating lies on the fly). I could barely hear him, as there was a lot of background noise, and sounded like a VoIP call. I asked him what personal information he had on file for me. He told me the last 4 digits of my social security number, and I asked him what my "full SS# was", so he spouted off my full social security number, my address, and my dad's name (as a reference)! He was very vague, except when I asked specific questions. I told him I would have to call him back, because I was at work. The only thing I can think of as far as how he got all this information (including my work phone number) is from my filling out a form online for a payday loan, and/or "special offer" that asked for that information (from all those stupid Facebook applications). They are either hacking the servers containing that information, or putting up bogus sites to collect this information from unsuspecting people. BEWARE!
