Attention Pittsburgh area: A phone scam outfit using the name GLOBAL SERVICE GROUP is calling local consumers from the above spoofed number. They claim to be a "mediation firm", however what they actually are is extortion-by-telephone. They will leave the number 1-888-297-4190 on your answering machine. If contacted, DO NOT PAY THEM OVER THE PHONE -- Turn them in to the authorities.
Global Service Group claiming to be a payday loan mediation group attempting to collect a debt prior to litigation. They cannot give you the name of the Payday Loan company originating the claim or provide you with documentation.
---which means they are hoping to find someone they can extort money from. The FDCPA states they must MAIL WRITTEN documentation of debt within 5 days of your request. "Loan mediation" = debt collector.
