Hi I Received a call from this #(608) 237-1560 called "Debt Consultant Affairs" stating that I took out a loan in 2013 with a company called Loans wire,and I've been under investigation. They said that I committed fraud and that they had to file court documents against me so because now I owe $1,730.00 for this loan I took out which I didn't. Haven't even heard of Loan Wire. According to them if I make payments to them then I can stop the processing of court and pay them a hardship fee of $192 biweekly until December and then pay $334 one time fee. And continue to pay $192 biweekly until February 10th and then It would be paid in full. Told them I didn't take out no loan. They said once I paid the total amount they would send me a letter that I could take to my local law enforcement so they could investigate who used my name and info like Social Security Number Etc... When I requested they send me info via mail with all this information they said they couldn't. This feels like a scam to me. I have been a victim of a scam before a few years ago. Anyone else experience same thing?
I got a call from this number 608-350-1443 and the lady said her name was Tracy, and that she works for Pered, Peard, Mana and that there was a complaint filed against me and if I don't want to go to prison/jail I need to call her back and pay $500.00
Received a call from this # stating that I took out a loan in 2012 and I've been under investigation. They said that I committed fraud and that they had to file court documents against me so because now I owe $1800 for this loan I took out. According to them if I make payments to them then I can stop the processing of court and pay them monthly a hardship fee of $497 a month until December. They placed me on hold and they hung up on me spoke to my lawyer who confirmed its a scam.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
Ignore and block the calls. Do not return the calls. Pure scam. Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you cannot be arrested for it. Report them:

Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
