I receved a VM, on my cell phone, from a man with a heavy Indian/Pakistani accent claiming that a friend of mine had committed bank fraud and had named me as a point of contact. He said he represented a company called PCS and that he wanted my friend to call them ASAP. I spoke with my friend and they were clueless. I advised them to be careful as it may be some sort of a scam.

This is a total scam...these people are jokes and try and scare people into telling them they owe money, they really don't and try getting your bank info. IT IS A SCAM! The best part is, tell them off and they start swearing and yelling back at you that they were busted. You can have a fun with these losers :)
It is a scam, they are just trying to get money from them to "settle" a so called legal action, it most likely pertains to a pay day loan they may have attempted to secure. they will cal the individual and say that they owe this company some cash and that they are the legal counsel for that pay day loan company, do not send any money, I have been called and I did nothing, and no one has filed a legal claim. Remember folks that if you get this call, call them back and ask all kinds of questions and remember that if you have taken a payday loan and have paid them back, your checking/savings account was debited for this, also call the pay day loan company and ask them if they deal with PCS.
we use to get calls from unknown or private and the message was always the same. Call us or risk legal trouble. The lawyers are coming to get you and they will not be nice.
This time around this number called and asked for someone not at this number.... and told the same story. Lawyer trouble if you do not call back.
What a scam, when i read the post from kelly, it was exactly how they treated my wife when she questioned them the first time.
Some Indian sounding guy called my son randomly yesterday from this number. He was threatening and rude stating he had his SS number, that my son had taken out a payday loan in July of 2010, and he had better pay off what he owed them. My son told me he attempted to get a loan last summer but was refused because he was military, but is now afraid because they may in fact have his SS number! The stories here all sound exactly like the same losers. I told him for one, legit collectors NEVER yell and curse, and for two, if this was indeed a legitimate debt he would have heard from them long before now. This guy states that they sent emails to my son's email address (which he did state the addy), but I know for a fact he has never received anything from them in the past....it probably went STRAIGHT TO THE SPAM FOLDER!!! He just keeps repeating "I'll see you in court tomorrow"! and hangs up. He just called back again today and ended his call with "F*** your mom and your daughter". How does he know this info? and what should he do about it? He is getting concerned.
