I just got a call from this same number. Some guy with a thick Indian accent asked for me by name and then transferred me to his supervisor, "Dexter Cruz." "Dexter" spoke English with only a slight accent, and told me he was from Civil Financial Services. He said that I was being sued by a payday loan company for a $300 loan that I'd taken out in December 2010. I immediately checked my account online, and sure enough there was no deposit made in December... or at any other time in the past 18 months.
He told me that the company, "cash4u.com," had sent me 18 emails that I hadn't replied to. I searched my email for "
[email protected]" (the address that he said the emails came from), and there was nothing there. He said that was "impossible." He then told me that someone would be coming to my place of work next Thursday at 11:00 AM to serve me with a subpeona, and that I should get a lawyer before then, as I was facing three separate charges.
He knew where I worked, my job title, my email address, and my bank's name. And he made it very clear that he wasn't a debt collector, and he wasn't asking me for money. I guess that part of the scam comes later.
I'll let you guys know what happens, if someone actually does show up next week.
