Same guy calls from a bunch of different numbers, very thick accent, gives a number of different very American names like John Smith etc. Says matter is time sensitive or I'll be arrested, brought to court, etc.
Total scam... If you've ever applied for a pay day loan online, or someone you know listed you as a reference, that's how whoever this is got your number. Either he bought it from a shady loan place, hacked into said shady companies database & stole it, or even somehow joined an online lending network and then use any info they get from your original app (or the person listing you as a reference) to try and extort money from people that they don't owe by trying to scare then.
Unfortunately, since this call more than likely came from outside the country (with a spoofed number) the FCC & our law enforcement community can't do anything.
Just remember, don't be scared by these people into sending money western union or giving them your banking info...you'll regret it
I received a similar call, this had an Indian accent. The whole message was very threatening, for example; if I do not return the call the action against for not returning their will be severe. You can report the number and/or the name of that person to the scam to www.ftc.gov/phonefraud
i didnt even wait for them to tell me what company their from.. while i was on the phone w/ them i google their number and i saw that it was a scam.. i had did a payday loan like 6 months ago, n since then changed my number.. so now their calling my job.. i will not fall for their scam
