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.
Just received a call from this same number. He called me at work and his name was Paul Smith but I could barely understand him. He threatened me and then told me if I didn't return his phone call than "God can only help you".
Hi, it sounds like the basic scam. I talked with a friend of mine and she is going through the same thing, But, if this is a scam to get my info, im 3we8 and still do not pay anything on line. Nor do banking' old school italian way and not lazy and smart go to the bank. After reading all these comments what a scam. Not only that, how dare these people have the right to upset these innocent individuals, who may be working up their credit scores buying a house and working and keeping bills in tact. The phone number she was called upon was 315-532-6038. My friend was told the same old story, u must call as soon as possible, or u will have to go to court. She tried to contact the individual. Wrong number. I have had this happen in the past. I find the best way to deal with bill collectors. right on. Ask" who am I speaking with? What is your name and contact number? Who is your supperviser if i have any other quesjtions They will eventually hang up.
I received a call at my work by Charles Green saying basically the same thing. And that they were going to send a fax to my boss's attention to have me terminated if I didn't give him my attorney's information and my home address.
Scary thing is, they had the last four digits of my ssn.
I received a call from a man named Charles Green from this number saying I would be arrested at 11 am tomorrow morning if I didn't give him my attorney's name in regards to "a case pending" against me.
I laughed at him saying that there is nothing "pending" against me and "why would I need an attorney."
He got very hostile and said that he would send a fax to my boss's attention that they terminate my employement imediately.
What is this place that's calling me at work and why do they have the last four digits of my SSN?
Some one please take care of this scam.
You likely applied online for one of those payday loans!! Naturally to get the loan you have to have all your pertinent information to secure the loan. I have applied before but have always paid them in full and yet I still receive the calls. I believe they prey on people who get the loans and don't pay them back and don't even remember who they borrowed from and are willing to send them money to stop the phone calls.
