it started "My name is charlotte George and im calling today from the Fraud Diversion unit" then it continued to say that my name and social security number is attached to a fraud case.
I received a voicemail from Charlotte George stating that there is a fraud case attached to my name, telephone number, and social security number. It was a recording. I believe these are the same people who have called from 216-438-2304, 513-443-5366, and 419-520-9623. I do not have any unpaid payday loans, nor have I bounced a check. I have blocked all numbers and will not answer them, This is definitely one of those payday loan scams. I am wondering if I should change my phone number
I have recieved the same calls from the above numbers for the last couple of months. I talk to someone and asked if I could call back and she said that it had to be taken care of today. I ended up trying to call a 440 number the next day and the number was no longer in service. I really wish that people like them would suddenly grow a heart and realize you have to work for your own money not try to take from others that barely live paycheck to paycheck. I don't understand why this can't be stopped.
I received a call from the 440-721-4693 number stating they are a fraud investigator regarding a payday loan back in 2007 I am not aware of any such loan. I offered to provide them with the name and number of my attorney to consult and the lady was very rude and said I would have paperwork filed in the County I supposedly took the loan out in, she then hung up on me.

Criminals masquerading as debt collectors attempt to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished without actually being sued or going to court, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt. One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money. They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer). Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them. Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.
