Just got another call and this time I called the number back and they had all my info as I applied for an online payday loan. They say I owe money to one and that they are trying to collect. Well I know for a fact that I do not owe any payday loans at this time so it's definitely a scam. Some people have numerous outstanding payday loans and don't remember who they borrowed from so they end up sending these people monies to get them off their backs when they don't even know who they are representing.
This comment from NV is likely part of the mass spam campaign pursued through much of 2010 by Centennial Law in Ventura, desperate to drive traffic to one of its several sloppy web sites.
This is another in that class of mercenary law firms which preys upon the fears of alleged debtors about as badly as the collectors. They do nothing which consumers cannot do for themselves at a much lower cost and far more wisely. My report from July 2011 is linked below.
Centennial Law Offices that post for debt relief or phone harassment all over the web, is actually another scam. Now the thing to do is to do a scam regarding the scam....
It is a scam. They call me several times in one day then I do not hear from them again for any where from two weeks to a couple months. They have personal information and are very threatening. Don't fall for it though.
Same here, they call me all the time too, looks like they are making their rounds since we are all posting around the same time. Don't fall for it guys, "Peter Scott" told me that I had to be in court in California in a few hours because I didn't pay something, and if I didn't show up, I would be arrested. I told them next time they use that line, the least they could do is send a fake warrant to my door. :)
