I got a call from them today, and that was the number they left. The supposed supervisor name was Roy Freeman, surely not his birth name. I didn't tell him who I was, but that I was trying to get information on who his company was to file a complaint with the feds, and that they have no right to threaten someone with being arrested as they have no authority. I don't know why they're calling me for a loan I haven't had in years. I believe the land line is in queens NY area. It's sad that any company would hire people with accents this thick to try to threaten people like this. Even if they are legit, I wouldn't recommend dealing with them anyway.
I got a call from 347 426 2313 about me taking a loan money from US Fast Cash and that there was a Law suit against me to collect the money. The man spoke in a very broken English with an Indian accent. He claimed to be from FBI. I said that I dont believe this and the call was passed on to his manager (John Green ...also broken English with strong indian accent) who claimed he was from Financial Crime Investigation Department. I told him this is fake and he got very aggressive, trying to scare me that he will get me fired and start a law suit against me. he asked em to settle this outside the court room by payign off $402 with a debit card. I told him to give me 30 minutes and I'll call back. He said if I dont call abck, they will call my boss and get me fired...... blah blah blah
I received a call from 347-426-2313 today -- 3 times in short calls and the ID on my phone said 1-00-0, so I didn't answer it. Then I received 3 voicemails where 2 of the messages were cut off. The third message was from "Officer Don Rogers." He had a foreign voice and told me he was with the Financial Crimes Investigation Department.
THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or extort personal info.
