Gotten several recorded calls from this "Karen Rodgers, Financial Crime Division", different numbers, usually from Georgia area code 404. This call was from 404-418-8981. Says I'm under "active criminal investigation"

Lol. Same thing happened to my GRANDMOTHER who is 82 years old. Claimed that she took out a payday loan back in 2012. They had an affidavit for her regarding the incident. I had asked for the information they had and they could only give me her address last four of her social and one of my OLD email accounts. I asked them what account it went into and they said they weren't sure how it was processed. I then told them they are required to give me written proof. The representative got very frustrated with me and hung up. Be very careful people. Good Day
I have several years in the field of commercial and consumer debt recovery. I am now a financial litigator and I can tell you quite simply that this is nit a legitimate firm. The FDCPA dies not permit scare tactics to consumer debt. If the balance is less than 9,999.99, a third party is required BY FEDERAL LAW to submit a civil case within a local court. They use a vague verbiage to make a consumer pay a debt. You should report this as the company that is claiming you owe is a third-party collection agency. They CAN NOT LEGALLY FILE LEGAL ACTION ON CONSUMER DEBT WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY BARRED IN THE STATE THE CONSUMER OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU MAY OWE US IN. THIS CAN BE DISREGARDED AS THEY ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF SECTION 801 OF THE FDCPA.
Have received multiple calls previously from this number, but they have not left a voice mail until recently. The message stated that the caller was named Karen Rogers "from the financial crimes division." Division of what? I don't know. Anyway, she went on to state that I am listed as a person of interest for something or other, and that I am "required" to call her back by a certain time or a warrant would be issued for my arrest.
This was last night @ 8pm EST. I currently have two more voice mails waiting for me from this same number, so I am sure it will be more of the same.
They called my husband, Michelle white was her name insisting he owed on a 2012 pay day loan and told him the wrong address. They had my old email address and threatened to throw him in jail if he didn't pay 500.00 by 3:00 today...
I received a call from this person again today and today the person calling was Karen Rogers. They are downloading a case against me today in the county. If this is accurate, and it is not, I sure have a lot of cases being filed against me in the county since April when these calls started. So entires Karen Rogers calls me from multiple phone numbers in different states on the same day. It is like my number is on a list under multiple numbers and Ms. Rogers just leaves these messages without realizing she had called me two other times that day. She must travel a lot each day as she makes her phone calls! Sometimes there is a listing attached to the number. Today it is Legal Mediation. Sometimes it is listed as Fraud Unit and various other names. It is ridiculous! I do not answer these calls not do I return the calls. When it all started, I did answer and return the calls and these people are mean and very rude! They get mad if you call the police and one time my lawyer and I spoke with them on 3-way calling and they were very angry when my lawyer informed them they were frauds and that he didn't want to hear from them unless they mailed a written complaint signed by a judge with proof of the debt owed. Of course, nothing has ever been mailed nor have I ever received anything in writing. I have never received a Pay Day Loan and I never will apply for one. I do not know how they got my number but they are extremely annoying and now they are calling me multiple times a day. I am keeping a log of the calls, the phone numbers, and the names of the people who call. I have shared this with the police but I don't think they are really doing anything.
