I received a call from this number on my cell phone and my work...they claim to be a senior attorney out of california. He said his name was David. He had my social security number and my mother's name. At first he wouldn't tell me what it was about, he said that he had to fax the info over to my lawyer, which I wouldnt give him that info. He asked to verify my address. After he hung up on my because I called him out and got rude right back to him, it went straight to a voicemail. I tried to call back the next day and that is when they told me it was in regards to a pay day loan that I have never recieved. They are illegal in my state. He also had my bank info. It really freaked me out. He had a middle eastern accent and was very hard to understand. He hung up on me several times and every time I called him back I got a voicemail. I told him that my number was on the do not call list and then he hung up on me again, and I haven't heard from him since. Does anyone know of a contact person to report this. I thnk that they have some how bought my personal informatin and I don't want it to go any further then this.
Received a phone call from someone stating I had an upaid payday loan. Couldn't give me any information. They said they're coming to my employer on Monday because I'm being taken to court in California for check and collection fraud. I live in Illinois. They said I never paid my loan, never responded to e-mails, etc. Asked for a contact name and number. Was given number of 213-234-7592 with Michael Davis' name. Called it and it was the same person I first spoke with. Asked for a direct line and case/reference #. Called that number (310-974-8957) and wound up talking to the exact same person. Very rude and threating me with legal action. Said I took out a loan through Fast Cash, eventually giving me the name of 1st cash international, probably but they're not sure. Said I owe $789.35. Afraid of what else they're going to do with this information.
I got this same type call at my home and place of employment on Friday, April 23, 2010. The heavy middle eastern accent was nearly impossible to understand. He used strange terminology and broke the credit collections law. This has to be a scammer because I did not owe anything. He said things like "if you do not return the call, you will face serious legal consequences and I feel sorry for you for the circumstances about to unfold on you". The caller id showed 310-974-8957 but he left a call back number of 213-234-7592. I had recently requested a payday loan online and submitted my personal info to a website that "shopped around" for a loan for me. During this process, my information was not protected. I am now seeking Legal advice and changing my bank account. Do not apply for payday loans on the internet. You will be bombarded with spam and offers from non legitimate lenders. Very dangerous! I learned my lesson!
