these people called the wrong person. me!! okay people if you are getting calls from these people then ur information was sold to them by another company. what happens is: when you apply for a college or anything online they send out your application to more than one company or school and this leaves a big opportunity for people to get and sell ur information. but i am going to new york anyway so i mine as well try to settle the debt they said i have with them....
Yes, I know exactly where they got my number. I made the mistake of applying for an online payday advance. I had some calls from some legitimate pay day loan places but then I started getting calls like crazy. They have all tapered off except this one. I know it is from this because I used my cell phone number instead of my house number. Btw, I never got the payday loan.
I do know by law, debt collectors can not threaten you in anyway or form. That includes mentioning legal ramifications such as this guy did. I also know that they can not call and leave messages for a person that the messages was not intended for. On my cell phone, it does not state my name in the greeting message but yet they leave messages anyway. I now have them all saved and plan on reporting them.
These people are so annoying and need to be stopped, this has been going on for over a yr now with me and i never answer and they dont get it or give up...stupid [***] today called my cell first and left a number and than a sec later called my work line and left a different number, um idot!! Plus if you are being investagated by the FBI why would they warn you?
received numerous calls from them and have asked all the right questions and they always have some lame answer for finally i got so fed up i told them ive already turned them in and to stop calling because i know its a scam & as i proceeded to hang up the phone someone in the background said "how do you know its a scam" & laughed and then they kept calling me back somehow from my own phone number like on my caller id it would say my house number was calling myself? a little creeped out. what else can i do? im tired of this [***]
They have all bunch of ways to reroute numbers. It's disturbing and plain frustrating. Go to the forum here on 800notes and look at all the Payday scam posts. You guys are not alone. I am actually having fun with these guys now. At first I was ticked, then annoyed so I decided to turn the table a bit on them. I went to the website CashNet, which is notorious for either being hacked or selling information, and filled out a bogus application with the scammer's telephone numbers and fake names they use. I never complete the application because it doesn't really matter, as long as they have your telephone number that is all that matters. I never agree to their terms and conditions.
I also stored their numbers in my cell phone and assigned a silent ringer to their number.
Btw, I found out that this number is being rerouted through 7 different IP addresses before making it to your phone. I believe they are out of the USA regardless of where their number says they are from.
So you can file complaints with the FBI, BBB and the FCC. You can also change your number. But whatever you do........DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR LIES!
