Call blocking is such a wonderful thing when these guys try to call, and they get blocked. they own this website.... So, my message to you guys that call me... Keep calling, but, you can't get through. I have plenty more room on my phone to block numbers and texts. So, please keep calling.. ''I DARE YOU''. Lol
if you get a call from them, tell them that you have a lawyer and ask of their company name and lawyer's name. guaranteed they won't bother you for a while.
They called stating they needed to talk to "Carol" about a loan. No one by that name uses my number and I told him so. BTW, the guy calling said he was "Robert" but had a heavy Indian accent. They use many different numbers. Sometimes when I answer, there's no one there. If I call back, I often get the message saying the call cannot be completed or isn't a working number. Occasionally, I get a live person who speaks English and I will request they put me on their Do Not Call list or they will be reported. That seems to work but you have to get about 50 calls before you get an American on the line. After blocking about a dozen of their numbers, the calls stopped for awhile.
I Googled other posts and found something that may help. When you get a call from an unknown number, answer with something like "Attorney General's Office" or "Sheriffs Department" or "County Morgue". I'm sure "FBI" and "Federal Communications Commission" will also work but perhaps the scariest would be "IRS-Audit Division".
I am sick and tired of getting numerous calls from this number. I have told them over and over again that I'm not the person they are asking for and they continue to keep calling. Today the non English speaking man called me a [***] when I told him to take me off his call list and when I called him back he said stop calling me. Something has to be done it's getting old.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
