I just got a call, could not understand most of what he was saying, he said his name was Ben Williams, i told him to hold while contacted the sheriffs office, he quickly said goodbye!!
I too just got a call from a female with a thick indian accent stating she was from Dept of Legal Affairs and Investigations out of San Francisco, CA asking the name of my attorney. She stated I had a $400 payloan from a long time ago (she could not provide me with any dates) and failed to pay and now I was being sued by Cash America USA. I was going to be arrested at my job on Monday at 11:00am by the sheriff. I asked how the sheriff is going to take me to CA to appear in court and she indicated that the sheriff would have all the information. she repeated all my contact info and full SSN (really scary) and to call 415-952-3898 if I have any more questions. She said the line was being recorded and this was my sworn affidavid. I have also called the phone # numerous times since we got off the phone and not one answers.
I immediately called my local authorities and filed a police report.
I received a call from the same number son Saturday stating that they were from the Dept of Legal Affairs and Investigations out of San Francisco, CA. The lady stated that I would be arrested and I will admit I was very distraught and nervous. I tried to obtain information in regards to my payday loan and she refused to give me any information and said it would be in the paperwork provided to me once I was picked up. Then she went on tell me if I didnt pay it in full I would be forced to stay in jail for 3 months and then I would need to find a way to San Francisco to appear before a judge.
Dude, no [***] this number just called me 5 times in the last hour... I'm bout ready to tell them to go [***] themselves.... lmao... Idk who they are, or why they are calling me.
*****NEVER, volunteer any information to any persons. If a person is a legit company seeking payments on a debt, then they MUST, show proof of this debt by letter. Not email, Not by discussing it over the phone or Vmail. I would simply say, send me information about this matter, you have my name and number and social so i'm sure u have my address so just mail me the info. *****
*****Again NEVER EVER EVER..... Volunteerly give out any information.***** Also if you take a payday loan they have to give you a chance to pay it back, even its $5 a week. They have to accept it... They even have to accept $1... If you look on the $1 Bill (US CURRENCY) It says "This note is legal tender for all debt). They cannot refuse a payment even if it so little... However... I think these guys from this number are scammers, so just beware!
yes this lady called my work on the weekend and left a message that it was an urgent matter to call them back, will I did and left a very nasty message. I told them that I reported the number to the my local police,
my state's Attorney General and The FTC. That if the calls did not stop I was going to notify the internet crime complaint center and file harassment charges against them.
