I had this number call me at work and tell me that I had a lawsuit under my name and social security number and kept asking for my lawyers number and that I had charges being pressed on my name and social security number. I said I don't know what you are talking about or where you are from. I kept asking and he wouldn't tell me anything except I needed to call back to the number above and have them get in contact with my lawyer to get the situation taken care of. How scary scammers are these days!!
i received a call from this number and was told i also would be arrestted by 4:00pm today. When i asked what it was for they said a payday loan that was never paid for. I explained i had never taken a payday loan out and was not sure what they were talking about. they asked for the last 4 digits of my social and like an idiot i gave it to them. so i have filed a complaint to the FCC, FBI, LOCAL POLICE and anyone else that can hopefully stop them from doing it again. it was just bizare....even scary if you think about the fact that they already had my social number before i was the idiot on it. all i can do is contact my lawyer and see if there is something else i can do to protect myself.
what has a this world come to that they want to hurt innocent people to get something for themselves.
i feel for my children...they have to grow up in the stupid crap!
We also got this call stating there was an investigation against us and to call this number 415-952-3898 and we would need to provide our attorney name and address as we were being sued for a payday loan. SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received a phone call over my cell phone today. It was a David Miller (haha) stating that I needed to call Attorney Michael Carter at the same # he was calling me from because there was "a case" filed against me. I inquired what for and was told it was regarding a Pay Day Loan through Cash Advance USA.
I called back and "Attorney Michelle Brown" answered. I asked for "Attorney Michael Carter" and he was unavailable. She told me that I was "going to be arrested tomorrow". I asked if she could give me the alleged dates of this Pay Day Loan and she hung up on me.
I called back and "Attorney Bernard" answered. I told him I was inquiring about this case that I was told was being filed against me and that "Attorney Michelle Brown" had hung up on me. I told him that I was told to speak with "Attorney Michael Carter" he told me that he was ill and could not be there today and that he could help me. This guy put his hand over his receiver but I could hear him asking "Attorney Michelle Brown" why she hung up on me. I couldn't hear what she told him though.
He wanted to verify that I still worked for Social Security Company. WHAT A HOOT. I said no I don't work for Social Security I receive Social Security. He said it was in reference to a pay day loan. I asked for the date of the alleged loan. He asked "are you saying you never had a Pay Day Loan?" I replied that is correct. He said that he would get the information and return my call in 30 minutes.
It is hilarious (to me) that these people with these American names all seem to speak like people from India. I know an Indian accent when I hear it. I have worked with many people from India. They have called me several times in the past two weeks. It started up hot and heavy after I went online asking for Automobile Insurance Quotes in September, but I have had calls from them in the past. They do have my correct name and social security number. But incorrect income information and incorrect address. The address they have is more than 2 years ago.
Don't worry. They are just a group of people trying to convince other people that a debt is owed and unless they send money right away they will be arrested.
Legitimate collectors operate via the postal system and are more than willing to provide written proof of any alleged debt.
Here's an idea. Get a whistle or one of those stadium fog horns and blow it in their ear when they call. In all actuality they are probably calling from a call center in India routed through a land line based in Stinson Beach California.
I submitted a complaint to the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ 5:13pm
