I got a call from them today stating that they are a law firm representing a payday loan company (American Payday). Said that I had a $385 loan from July 2012 that they were going to sending the police to have me arrested. I asked for a physical address to come a make the payment, and they said I had to either western union or get a greendot card and send it.
DO NOT PAY THEM. This is a scam. I know. They got me too and I actually paid it. I found out it was a scam because the same people tried it AGAIN!!!!. No legitimate debt collector will ask you to send untracable cash payments. And there is no legitimate debt collector that will have any knowledge of law enforcement coming to arrest you. PERIOD!!!
To anyone reading this: This scam has become out of control with the bad economy and people turning to shady things like pay day loans to make ends meet. Report anything like this to your state Attorney General office (every state has is on their website and most you can submit a complaint online).
These people are a major scam. Trying to contact me saing I owe money for something I never received. When informing her I was an attorney she called me a "retard". Sounds like a real professional non American collection agency. Also, they give names like Edward, Elizabeth when clearly they are from the middle east
I just called them back and asked them for their Licensce number and told them that I was on the phone with the court. Daniel, cut me off and said that he was going to make sure I was arrested at my place of employment since I didn't want to pay them.
