They have harrassed the front desk people of where I work and have called multiple times on my cell. Victor Thompson was the name used although they have an accent of some type and there are 2 of them - one calling himself a supervisor. They said I took out a payday loan on line and a federal law suit is being filed against me. I laughed and told them to file the suit and that I have never taken out a payday loan in my life. He started getting foul mouthed and said, "Well then how do we have all of your information?" to which I replied, "File the suit. I am contacting the police." I called a # they left earlier (because the # on the caller ID did was not accepting calls) and I asked for proof of my debt because I am turning it over to the police and the man said, "We are sending it in the mail." and hung up. Now, they won't answer at all. I think I am going to keep calling them and harrassing them! :)
Received similar messages from this person under the name Michael Johnson(took him a while to tell me the name), very thick Indian accent and a very foul mouth. When I contested the claims that I owed money this person got very loud and aggressive. These people are scum.
I just received a call from Officer Spencer Reed...phone # 1-347-338-3326, posing as an FBI agent with Pay Day Max, claiming that I owed his company money. He has my SS# and my email address. He's claiming that I owe $510.00 and I need to pay it now or I go to court in New York. This guy first contacted my brother and demanded payment. My brother has never cosigned anything for me, he's only a reference. The minute I asked for an account # or even a date of filing the loan, he said that information is private. I told Officer Reed that his company is listed as part of my banktruptcy and he is not suppose to be contacting me and that I needed to talk with my attorney about the matter....He hung up. I called him back and informed him that his name and number have been given to the police...he hung up again. Not sure how he got my information, but it's a little creepy. Watch out for scam. I'm now calling the police!
This is just the newest number with an ongoing scam from India and/or Pakistan...I've been on their hitlist off an on for almost a year :-)
Latest is "Officer Adam White' - they're full of crap, and are financial rapists and thieves. DO NOT call them back, do NOTHING except report them to feds at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
Repeat - this is an ongoing SCAM.
Even if you do "owe" payday loan money (and I put "owe" in quotation marks on purpose) this still a scam.
