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.
Hello everyone!! Whoever these dirt bags are, contacted me yesterday at work and demanded me to have the name of my attorney and their phone number. I asked them for their company name and their phone number, to which I called back a couple of minutes later. Both parties had a very pretend Indian type of accent and read to me that if I didn't respond, that they would have me arrested. I told them that since I was at work, I would call them the next day (Tuesday 11May). Meanwhile I entered their phone number into Google Search and found a slew of people that had been contacted by the same people, saying the exact same thing to me as they did to them.
On Tuesday, 11May2010, from 8:30am till noon, I tried to call them and all I got was either dead air or the phone just kept ringing and ringing. After giving up, I received a phone call around 1:35pm, these people calling me again asking why didn't I call. I told them I had tried to call and if this is supposed to be a law office why were their phones not working for almost 5 hours? The guy responded with "Our phone lines have been down". Question, why would he ask me "Why didn't I call" if he knew the phone lines had been down, if that's really the case. HHMMM???
After telling him where he could go and hung up. He called back yelling stating that he's going to get me fired, to which I hung up. I called my manager right away to inform him and between the time I hung up with this piece of work and the time I got my manager on the phone, he had already called my work and making threats. My boss just brushed it off and told me not to worry about it. I contacted KCPD and left a message of an office or detective to call me back regarding this.
DON'T FALL FOR IT!! YOU WORK HARD FOR YOUR MONEY, DON'T LET SOMEONE INTIMIDATE YOU INTO YOU GIVING YOUR MONEY TO THEM!
I received three calls on my job from these people. A Jacob Martin called. I called them back and told them to stop harrassing me. He said he was with the LLP Law Office new york. He said money had been deposited into my account and it wasn't.
TODAY May 12,2010 I got a call from this (315) 532-6038 and guy name Jeff Johnson with this crazy foreign accent, telling me to call them because it is sensitive or either have my Attorney call. I got the same call here at my job last year and just concerned how in the world are these idiots getting our information.
VERY threatening....thick, Indian accent. threatened that i was going to be served a supeona from a court in New York & arrested from a payday loan that i took out YEARS ago & paid back... If I didn't adhere to this phone call, I was going to be put in the paper, basically blackballed thru my SSN of finding a job in the future.
If I was the scary type, I might have fallen for it. It was the SAME script that I've read about in previous posts. I kept asking him to send me a fax & at 1st he said ok but as I kept asking for a hard copy, he started yelling at me like i was 5 years old....
