Got the same call from a Mark Johnson, make sure to contact and file a complaint with the FTC at 877-382-4357 and your Attorney Generals Office...this is a SCAM, they say that you owe them money from a Pay Day Loan company. But will not give you any information regarding thier company name, address or what they say you owe. I heard that their was a security breach in a Pay Day loan database...they have your Social, address and family that you used as refererce and they will harrass you. I recieved about 50 calls in a row, demanding to speak to my manager or my lawer. Just tell them that you are not who they think you are and stop calling. Just make sure to file the complaint. You also can tell them to do what they have to as far as the next step. Remeber this is a SCAM, so it will not go any further.
You are so right. I believe they use other numbers, but am not sure. Their number shows up as ???-??-???. I have collected I think 4 with the same mumbo jumbo, same accent, same tactic (so very obvious reading from a script). They got outrageous this time CLAIMING I owe a payday loan over $2000 and if I don't pay will serve time in prison. They refuse to tell you who and when transactions occurred and demand that "my attorney" call them back. My BIG mistake for applying online and didn't even go through with it. They are even harrassing my reference (one must have been wrong number). It's a work phone for my friend and even though he said he was working & hung up they call back to harrass.
They have forced me to do everything to stop the harrassment. I will be calling FTC and getting the local Attorney General's Office invovled to stop them.
