don't believe it!!! I have been dealing with these type of companies for a couple of years now. I had a payday loan in 2006 which I paid off and they have said I was going to have a warrant issued, they were going to garnish my wages, they were going to serve me with papers and all of the other threats they seem to like to say....let's just say I have gotten my license renewed, gotten my car registered, have even been pulled over and given a warning from a DPS Trooper and guess what!!!??? No warrant is out...what they are doing is against the law. You need to know the consumer laws regarding your state when dealing with these morons...in Texas a debt collector can not garnish wages unless it is ordered by a judge, they can't put a lien on any of your property and they can't arrest you (there is no debtors prison). Oh and by the way, still waiting for the 48 hours to be over and be served at my place of business and I'm still waiting to be arrested (been at least three years)
Got a call from 312-278-7026 on 03/12/2012 at 4:44. Caller left a message saying it was Adam Bayer (sp?) for someone I don't know calling about Case #222-922. This number is new to me, and I didn't know who he was talking about. Glad I didn't call back!
When you call the 312-278-7026 number back the message answers International Arbitration Services. The number prefix is for Chicago, Ill. However, it doesn't look like there is a company on record with the sec of state having that name. Could be a scammer.
This # called me on 4/9 at 1:53 PM ET.
The person calling identified himself as Ron Carpenter and left a message saying I owed a debt and we attempting to contact me on behalf of the county sheriff. The message said to return the call, so I called back and reached a man named Mike. He asked me to verify a bunch of information, which I refused most of it. He claimed I owed a debt to a Payday Advance company which I have never heard of. I live in NH, those Payday Loan places are highly regulated here. Gave the name of my old bank and everything. I told him I wanted proof of the debt, copies of original loan agreement and if there was court action pending I wanted to be served by a sheriff. This Mike person said he didn't have to provide proof and said he was transferring me to the onsite lawyer. He sent me to a man named Clay Johnson whom I repeated my request to, he said he had no problem issuing the information and that I would be served by a process server in 5-7 business days. When I tried to verify the information being sent and ask a question he hung up on me.
This is a fraud.
Someone called a relative of mine and asked for me. They would not give their name or the name of the company when asked but wanted to get my social security number. Who in this day and time will offer their ss number to an unknown person over the phone who won't tell you why or where they are calling from. Fools. The person asked them again and they hung up. Sound suspect. Looking at the other responses on this page, it's probably an illegal company trying to get money out of folks.
