I received several calls from this number, and others which I will list, (after I told them they had the wrong number and not to call again) They asked if I was my brother's name, I just said NO, I am not that person, please take my name off your list. Then within minutes I got other calls from other numbers. The guy called himself "Investigator such and such" (sorry, I don't remember the name, I was just annoyed that they kept calling) The other numbers are: 404-973-2109, 404-935-9107, and the original, 404-935-9490. I apparently missed one from 404-946-4039 as well. I have never gotten a payday loan, on line or otherwise. I thought my brother had given my number as a reference for one, but he did not know anything about it. He sent me this website saying they were illegal scammers. They called themselves BTA Investigations, and in the initial recording they left on my cell phone, they said something to the effect that "as of Sept no charges have been filed yet......" and threatening to press charges, etc. I gave them my name, when they asked, initially, now I regret that I gave that! If I get another call I will report to TX AG. BTW the calls are coming from Georgia.
dta called my cell phone and said my son was going to be arrested for check fraud. my son is in drug rehab and had taken out a loan prior to coming home to get help.was not sure if it was legit so had to call my son in rehab to verify. he said he wasn't sure but he only took out one loan and we had paid that loan off. my son was put on three way call in rehab with myself and dta and the guy was so convincing that i was ready to pay to keep him out of jail, luckily i read this sight and after reading post when guy called back i told him that if it was legit than when my son got out of rehab he could have him arrested and i would pay an attorney rather than a scam company haven't heard from them since. makes me mad that after all our family has been through that "scum" like this prey on people. should be against law!!!!!
I received as message as follows: "This recording is to serve notification that you are currently being investigated for check fraud by the criminal investigations division of DTA. To speak with an agent, please press 1. If you are receiving this recording via voice mail you have 24 hours for you and/or your attorney to return this call at (404) 935-9487 or (404) 935-9490." This is a SCAM. DTA is an alias for Dorsey, Thornton & Associates, a collection agency. I don't know how they got my number, but my best advice for anyone receiving a call like this is to report it as a scam and to ignore it.
