Got this call from Baron and Stone stating I owed from a pay day loan from over 10 years ago in a state I havent lived in for over 18 years and they were going to prosecute me if I did not pay restitution of over 800.00. I called them back and a gentleman answered very rude I informed him I would contact my attorney and he stated go ahead we are here from 8-6 Monday - Friday. MAJOR SCAM!!
caller said i got a payday loan from cash direct 7 years ago and my checking account was closed. They said i would be arrested for bank fraud, a class c felony if i didnt pay a restotution amount of $700.00, $500.00 if i paid now, if i didnt california would put out a warrant for my arrest. Like an idiot i gave them my bank info., but I was able to close my account before they collected. A brian mercer from barron and stone said he was a lead investigator, and would file legal charges against me if i didnt sign a docusign.com document today.
Scam! A legitimate debt collector will mail you proof of the debt and won't threaten you with arrest if you don't pay immediately. Just block and ignore their calls.
