I received the same message and call back number (saying a complaint had been filed against my ss# and to call 855-798-1893). I never answer a call from a number I don't recognize and I just started using the phone # about a week ago and have not done anything financial involving this new number. I thought it might be a scam so I decided to research before I calling them. I see I was right.
About every 6 months, I get these same calls from various "Pay Day Lender" SCAM Artists. The reason I say SCAM Artist is becuase I have NEVER taken a pay-day loan! A couple of years ago, I ALMOST did. I went so far as filling out an on-line application (WITHOUT any of my bank information) to somewhere I thought was local, and as soon as I hit the submit button, my phone started ringing and my email inbox was flooded with "offers". However, I decided I would not go that route and NEVER accepted any of the offers. However, about a year after I did that, I began getting harrassing phone calls & emails stating I had taken payday loans for various amounts and was threatened with all kinds of things including bodily harm.
Absolute scam. I've received multiple calls with the same basic message. It's either a payday loan or bad check and each time the caller ends the message by thanking me "for taking care of this matter." The return number I was left with (this time) was 866-372-8831. I get two to three messages a day from these clowns. Don't pick up! My caller ID says it's HFS.
