Got a robocall from this number saying that there's potential fraud activity associated with my phone number, Social Security Number or Bank Account Number, and that I should press 1 to talk to a "risk assessment adviser" to "resolve the situation." The voice on the recording was one of an older Caucasian man with good speaking ability. Nice try....
I had forgotten about this bill. I was unemployed and could not pay it back then. (actually 2years ago). they gave me a settlement. I paid it. and they sent me proof of my payment. they should talk a little nicer on the phone though.
These people are legit!;but they are mean as helI !!!~!
I really did owe the money for a payday loan...so I paid it....I paid mine even though it hurt my feelings and pissed me off when I got their phone call to remind me about it.
Got a call saying that they were from a law firm, and that they had identified fraud associated with my bank account, social security number, and my phone number, and they believed that I was involved in this fraud. This is a scam. If it is actually a payday loan or debt collection, they will have you call a toll free number. I believe that I know what this is about. I applied for a payday loan on-line. My payment to them didn't go through. I was contacted by somebody with a heavy foreign accent stating about fraud, prosecution, credit score, being reported to the district attorney, etc. He was from a weird area code. He wanted me to fax an agreement with my ATM card agreeing to pay by a certain date. Received a phone call from a similar company, saying the same thing. I faxed in a form. They also charged me. I called the company back and said that I had been charged twice. Each of these companies said that they weren't the same company, and said that the other company was fraudulent. When I saw my bank statement, I saw that there were two transactions that didn't belong there. I called the payday loan, and they said that they had run it through again and it went through. They warned me about this kind of thing, saying that it is very common. I went to my bank, and they said the same thing. They reversed the charges on both these transactions. These companies have access, somehow, to your on-line payday loan applications and know your contacts. That was over two years ago. Since then, my boss, my mother, and my friends have received calls from somebody looking for me. I tell them all it is a scam and to ignore it. I also get calls from law agencies, calls stating that they are from investigations, collection agencies, etc. They all have weird area codes. I ignore it all. It is a scam.
