My daughter is getting phone calls from this number we believe are scam/fraud artists. They have attempted to collect a debt from my daughter that has been paid to a payday loan company and stating they are a law firm. After several attempts to speak to someone to get the correct information about thier company with a hang-up on thier end each time when asked for info i have contacted the FBI. They are claiming to be Mckinzie Law Firm, when asked for the correct spelling of the business and some identification they repeatedly hung up on me. I told them they are being reported. They are very rude and sound of Iranian or Indian culture. One person at the same place answered and said they were american pay day then when asked why the last person said they were a law firm she also hung up on me. I got a fax number as well from them after many attempts and it is with a california number. They told me to shut up and that they didnt have to identifiy themselves to me. We contacted the loan company to see if they know about these people and they do not, they had given my daughter a confirmation # for her loan payoff and that she is to tell these people they are being reported. It is coming from a landline and when i called a 411 operator to get the company name for this number there was no information to be given. I have contacted the FBI office in Dallas Tx where we are from and they are being investigated. It is an Ohio based number. Thank you !
This number called asking for my husband. It was a gentleman that called he left a very rude message ( Craig Marshall) he said it was. The first time a called it back a woman answered ( Law firm) and then we got disconnecteed. The second time I called back the gentleman that left a message answered and I started to ask questions and he said he had to talk to my husband and hung up. I felt there was something fishy bout it so I looked it up and here I am writing this! I still have the message he left also, he was extremely rude!
My daughter lives in another state and she received a call saying she owed them money based on a loan she allegedly took out with a company called Instant Cash. When I found out what they were telling her, I called this person and spoke to a man named Edward (Ironically, his expension was the same four numbers as our house number). He did not like the questions I was asking but I eventually got him to tell me things I knew for a fact were not true. Being a retired law enforcement officer I started picking up on things I knew were not true; such as if she did not pay back the loan with all the penalties and fees by 6:30 tonight, she would have to be in court tomorrow morning at 11:00 to answer to her charges. The justice system just doesn't work that fast so I called him on it. He changed his story to say the judicial process would be filed tomorrow at 11:00 (he doesn't even know what the form is called). Next, Edward told me they would receive a subpoena (not a warrant) for her arrest and they would then break in to her apartment to serve it on her. I told Edward he was not allowed to break in to anyone's apartment, it was illegal. He told me, "oh yes we can". I realized I had heard this informaiton before. I had handled these same type of cases with elderly people using the same terminology. I have a friend in the FBI and reported what happened so it is now being investigated. They have become a little more advanced and instead of wanting a money order, they wanted a money pack with the number on the back being read to them over the phone. Please do not fall for this. Get as much information from the caller as you can, along with how they want to be paid and then turn it over to your local FBI office. Don't ever verify any of your personal information over the phone to anyone, no matter how legitimate it sounds.
These people call from many different phone numbers, it is the same 2 or 3 people every time. I have been hearing from them for months. They use different names every time and sometimes they say they are the state attorney. I asked my payday loan company if they know about these people and they are aware of them and are trying to get these freaks caught.
I got a call yet again from these people. First from Flordia, then California, now Ohio. I hope noone falls for this scam. I told him I know this is a scam. He said that was fine I can believe what I want. He said they will bring a subpoena to my work tomorrow. I said a subpoena did you want me to testify in court against you for your harrasment. He said no a subpoena to arrest you. LOL these jokers dont even know what the Hell they are talking about. I thought i would post this just to put some information out there that this is a terriable scam coming from another country. Just ask them not to contact you again and hang up.
