Claims a debt is owed but cannot/will not provide details or follow legal guidlines to send verification of debt. Makes threats that hold no water. Wish they would get it that I am not going to be made to pay a debt they won't verify with documentation.
I had a few PDL and paid on time for all. Then had a hack on my bank account and these jokers start calling. Came to learn that under the laws governing PDLs in my state I had over paid to all of the accounts as none of the companies are licensed to operate in Minnesota.
Hard lesson learned. No more easy way out but not going to be taken by threats.
Called relentlessly for hours to a place of business. Could not be reasoned with or spoken to. Heavy indian type accent, but it could have been fake. Definate scammer posing as debt collector. Reported to police.
Guy with an Indian accent called repeatedly, claiming to be from the "Cash Advance Legal Department." He was a joke. Threatened my wife and tried to induce us to send money to a woman in Philly by Western Union. He got very nasty; told my wife that the police were going to haul her away and she was going to get fired from her job. Called himself Michael Lee. I called the FBI several times as well as the local cops, and the cops in Worcester, Mass, home of the 508 area code. This is a complete scam; finally has my phone company block his number.
Similar experience. Guy claiming to be Eric Jefferson (with heavy indian accent mind you), called relentlessly after i hung up on him about a month ago. Called 40 times in 2 hours at my work, using multiple lines. Also tried calling my cell phone with a cloned number they put in as my work number. Only problem was, i was at work and nobody was trying to call me, so i knew better than to answer it. Not only that, when he tried to call my work today, caller id showed up as McDonald's. Total scam. Anybody that clones a number to try to get you to answer is not legit. Don't give out your information to these people.
Keep getting calls about a previous client of ours. I have told this Mr. Eric Durner that the client moved out of our county and we no longer have contact with him. He said my name was listed as a reference and that if I wanted to "save my life" I would give a message to this client. I told him repeatedly that I have no contact with him.
