I ALSO RECEIVED A CALL FROM 415-223-1180 FROM A KEVIN PATTERSON CLAIMIMNG TO BE CALLING FROM SOME ATTORNEYS OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THERE WAS CRIMINAL CHRGES PENDING AGAINST ME AND I OWED SIME OUSTANDING BALANCE ON A PAY DAY LOAN WHEN I ASKED HIS TO EXPLIAN TO ME HOW HE GOT MY NUMBER HE BECAME VERY ENRAGED AND HUNG UP I TRIED CALLING BACK BUT HE KEPT HANGING UP ON ME I KNOW THIS IS A SCAM AND I AM GLAD TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS BEING HARRASED AS WELL FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO STOP THEM.
My fiance got a call from this number this morning, and just as I suspected, it's a scam. He got the same line of BS as everyone else on here. We were suffering finacial hardship at the end of last year and I suggested he see if he could get a payday advance. He checked around online and submitted his personal info. I am glad we had a family member loan us some money, because I'm now afraid of what could have happened if we had given our personal bank information to a scam artist in lieu of a few dollars. I guess if we are ever ever ever in a desperate bind like that again, I'm going to thoroughly check out the loan website we are applying to. I think that the people responsible for maintaing the websites these scammers are getting our personal information from should be held responsible for selling our names, numbers, and social security numbers!
So, how concerned should I be that the Indian guy told me that police is coming to my work (I'm a teacher) to arrest me and that I have to be in San Francisco by 11:00am on Monday for my court date to pay the money owed plus attorney fees? Like, should I give my boss a heads up? He didn't ask me for money right away and got so mad at me when I asked him if I could talk to someone who spoke better English. He finally hung up on me after saying that he would report me to blah blah blah (couldn't understand). Should I be concerned?
I also got a message this morning from a woman with an Indian accent saying it was a time sensitive matter and I need to return their call or my attorney I believe she said. She mentioned the name hotline renovations? She said if I did not call back she wished the best on me as the situation unfolded on me causing legal issues. I do not have any charges other than a speeding ticket which my attorney is taking care off and is actually settled now. How are they obtaining our information & this cannot be legal. Did any one find them on BBB what is the name of the company?
This company called me stating that I owed money for a cash advance. They even had some of my personal information and they also called my place of employment. They stated that I owed $590.90 and that if I did not pay that I would owe over $3000 and that I would be arrested and that there was a lawsuit filed against me in California. As they had me on hold I looked them up and found out they we're a scam. When they came back on the lien and I mentioned this to them and told them I was going to report them to the authorities then they started using profanity and said that they would call me as many times as they wanted. When I told them that the call was being recorded they continued to use profanity and hung up.
Just got a call from this number as well. I've had calls from these people for the last couple of years,always a different company name. They've stated that I was being sued, a bench warrant for my arrest and so on. Today was from Adam John, always a very American name for very foreign sounding people. If you really want to make them mad,ask to speak to someone with a clearer accent. :)
