Same message and scare taticts. I called the number back and the person on the phone told me that I would have to call back tomorrow to talk to him, but that it was for my benefit. These people need to be stopped. How can we stop them?..
when i asked the phone i was told that a lawsuit had been filed against me and my social security # and placed on hold to speak with another guy with a heavy Indian accent who proceeded to tell me that(again) a lawsuit had been filed against me but every time i asked who was their client, he just kept saying that it was a payday loan that I never repaid, which I filed bankruptcy a few years ago and everything that i owed was placed on there, then he went on to tell me that I would be arrested at my job and that we would discuss this at the precinct(ok, whatever). Before I hung up I advised him that withholding the information that I was requesting which is who is the "client" is illegal, I have to be made aware of it in writing as far as a bill(which I never received) and since he isn't willing to tell who the client is so that I can give the info to my attorney, I hung up. People have been pulling schemes for years on the phone and internet to get you to give them personal info such as drivers licenses, credit cards, and social #. Dont fall for it
(567) 248-4394???? Another online payday loan SCAM! I just got a telephone call at my job, from (567) 248-4394….from a heavily accented man calling himself Hosea Brown. He claims to represent some firm called Rogers, Smith & Associates ouf of Ohio. He would not tell me which city in Ohio he or his firm, is located in. He claims that there’s a case pending against me, but would not give me the mailing address of his so-called company. He continued to threaten me, but could give no information about this so-called case against me. It is probably an old online payday loan scam, where folks are now trying to use personal information from online payday loans, or applications, to scare you into paying them. I hung up the telephone, knowing that this is a SCAM. I will report the number and the telephone call to the Internet Crimes Unit (I-C3).
My husband received a similar call. But the scam artist said he was calling from a Law Firm that does not exist. I work for a Law Firm so what this idiot was saying did not match up. These crooks do a quick google or other web sites back round check on us victims before calling very scary. My husband told him were reporting them to the authority's they have stop calling for now !! It stinks that we can only file a claim online with the Federal Trade Commissions and hope they read the complaint.... otherwise TY your post was helpful
