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.
I'm a bill collector they called me this morning complete scam use scare tactics to get u to pay a debt they don't own!!! My advice is if u get a call from the Indian guy with the name Jon hang up do not pay they there a scam don't bother recording there calls there untracable but if u can locate them that def $ in your pocket they violate every fdcpa and state law. YOU CAN NOT GO TO JAIL FOR PAYDAY LOANS AS A POSTDATED CHECK DOES NOT FALL UNDER A BAD CHECK THERE ALL SCAMS
On December 12th 2011 at 10:44 a.m. I received a voicemail in which it was """YES EVERYONE""" AS YOU ALL HAVE JUST DESCRIBED ABOVE { a very strong accent of a Pakistan/Indian man } left me the message that said AN INDIVIDUAL WHIM I DO KNOW AND AM HAVEING VERY BAD ISSUES WITH HAS RECENETLY TAKEN OUT A LOAN AND NAMED ME AS THE PRIMARY TO WHICH MAKES ME RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF THAT LOAN BECAUSE HE NEVER PAID IT BACK !!!!!! I WAS IN AWWW AND THEN THE CALLER WHOS NAME HE SAID WAS JOHN PATRICK HE THEN SAID THAT IT IS NOW CONSIDERED A FEDERAL CASE AND IM COMMITTING FRAUD. THE NUMBERS THEY LEFT CANNOT BE CALLED INTO. THEY CALLED FROM {347-121-2121}... IM VERY MUCH SO IF POSSIBLE TRYING TO GET THEIR INFO AND OBTAINING AN ATTORNEY TO SUE THEM FOR HARRASMENT BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THEY'E CALLED ME..... LAST YEAR during the summer the same man called me and threatened the same info except he said I myself took out the loan and which i did not. then this JON told me the POLICE WAS COMEING TO ARREST ME AND I WOULD SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IN JAIL. / NOW THIS IS VERY SCARY TO ME BECAUSE I AM A DISABLED YOUNG WOMAN THAT SO CANT GET THEM TO STOP CALLING ME. WHAT DO I DO AND HOW DO I GET THEM TO STOP ??? DOES ANYONE HAVE INFO ON THIS COMPANY OR WHO THEY ARE ???
I got a call from them and they left a voicemail. Ronald Green from Weinstein McGregor & Collins. Tells me to call their legal department at 646-666-8884. Reference File QC80971. He says one of my employees is under investigation.
That's funny, I was unaware I owned a business. Sure convinced me to call back!
I should also add, once I look up that law firm by name, one, there is a "McGregor and Collins" in california (Then why are they using a New York number?) and when I search the number, the closest I find is 646-666-8883 which has reference to the fake law firm Weinstein McGregor and Collins and totally sounds like a scam.
