The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
I have received calls for months when I received a call one day I called back person I talked too didn't give me a name for the company he worked for couldn't tell me name of the company I borrowed money from just said fox industries don't know the company but will say that everywhere I have lived I have change of address done have not received any notifications in mail and will not pay anything on line no matter how intimidating they get was informed two weeks ago that courier was on his way to deliver documents I am still waiting I save all voice messages from these companies hope to sue have blocked one number now two new numbers call same message same case number I am sick of these calls
Thanks for posting the links. I, too, am getting messages everyday for a person whose name is not even close to mine. I have had this land line phone number since 2001, so either it is made up or a very old database they pick names from. I called once and left a message to stop calling me, and in hindsight that was dumb because they keep at it now using additional numbers like 302-883-8691. I will just ignore them and let them keep on leaving messages that I will record and keep records of while I file complaints. I am sure they are a moving target so as soon as they are found out they will resurface elsewhere. Frustrating. I hate to be cynical but the authorities will get them, but someone else will take their place. And if I don't respond and give them money, they will choose an easier target which makes me sad. Lesson: You need to be very careful and tough in today's world.
Recieved a call from these scammers at my place of business earlier today. Said I was being investigated for fraudulent behavior using my name and SSN (I thought this was funny seeing as how they're the frauds here.) I knew it was fake once they said if I was "served" papers then I had no rights. People who fall for this should know what they're rights are and being served a court summons or even being arrested is not proof of guilt and your rights are still intact. You are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Period. If you recieved a call from these idiots, tell them you're reporting them to the FBI and local authorities for FRAUD and make sure you do so afterwards.
