When they first called me a year ago I didn't know anything about these sites and they really scared me. I tried calling them back and left messages. The final message I left them was a request to please have someone who could speak english call me so that I could understand what this was about. They quit calling until December-called for 2 weeks, then quit until February, then May and now August they started again. The last time Bingo Telecom showed up on caller ID with an unavailable number.
He claimed to be officer mark thomas saying i owe 439.00 he will not tell me who he is.He called my hose at leasrt 11 times,my job and co-workers even after i told him advice.he is saying i am a criminal,
This guy with a thick india accent claimed to be "Officer Mark Thomas"hE SAID i WAS A CRIMINAL,he called my emplyer,a co-worker and told her she would have to pay the debt if I didn't.I faxed this guy a phony pre-paid visa card for him to stop the cruelty.I got advice from an attorney who deals in these cases,His best advice do not give them any personal info,Tell them you will file with the FTC,The BBB,and call yhe police ti trace calls.I did al that ,pone calls stop.I also told them if they call again all calls will be recorded.They are phony ,payday scammers,.Get fraud alerts on your credit report.They don't have a leg to stand on.I was afraid at first but i stopped them.I will not be threatened.This is A merica.
I received a message on my work answering machine from a very foreign(strong Indian accent)gentleman named David Jackson. He was very hard to understand and stated he left me a message on February 2nd. Now this is November! He stated in his message I need to have my attorney or myself call him immediately. It was very urgent. Then he said if I do not call him or have my attorney call him, all he could do was wish me good luck. I am to return the phone call to 323-474-0503.
I will not be calling back. This is the 5th time this year at least that I have received phone calls with persons w/ heavy Indian accents trying to scam me out of money - saying I have criminal charges against me or will have them, that I will be arrested and go to jail. They are people who obtain information from when you apply or obtain a payday loan. I never defaulted on one and haven;t had one in about 3 years. They use scare tactics.
I did fall victim to one last year but I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and didn't need the stress, they got $150.
I try to get as much information from them as possible. I tell them I need something in writing on their company letterhead. Most of the times they will not divulge their company address. I have been contacted by two different people in different months stating they had the same street address but in different cities. Neither one really existed. These people often use cell phones or numbers that come back as unpublished.
This harassment has got to stop. I myself have had too much stress in dealing with these people. I block their phone numbers from work, don't give them my information and tell them I can not receive personal calls at work and to email me with any issues. I had one guy call back every 10 seconds for over an hour because he was mad I would not let him speak with my boss - who was not here - i was the only one here.
I have spoken with some of the actual payday loan companies and they too say this is all a scam. I have checked also and I owe no one any money. I also spoke with a county Sheriff friend of mine and he said that for these people to actually press charges, they would have to come to where I am to see the magistrate - it can't be done from another state.
This scamming ring is getting out of hand and needs to stop!
Caller stated his name as James Carner if I understood correctly. Lot of static in background. Caller stated that I should call him ASAP or have my attorney call. He said if I do not return this call he could only wish the best as the case file unfolds.
Call received 16 and 17 Nov 09 on 2 different numbers
i have been receiving calls from these people threatening that if i dont pay them $500 immediately that they will be pressing felony charges against me, including check fraud. The call back numbers for these guys are 408 461-3101 and 323 474-0503. The names range from Derek Jackson to DAvid Jackson to Steven Alexander. I've already notified the FBI and the local police dept of this. The only advise I was given was not to answer my phone for the next few weeks. The people that are calling sound Nigerian? or African? and there is usually a lot of background noise..(sounds like a call center) and they usually end the message saying, if they do not hear back from me or my attorney, then all they could do is wish me the best of luck as my case unfolds.
I do remember a few months ago, receiving a call from a man with a very heavy indian accent, my husband cursed him out and the calls stopped..until now!
