Got a call from these guys public consolidation service
626 227 0276 said i owed a ddebt yadda yadda, I blocked my call number and called them back. They were rude and cusssing at me :P
I then called again and pretended to be one of them( heavy accent etc) and he got pissed and asked if i worked there called me a dumbass and hung up lol
ttoal scammers people please don't give them anything, remember these are usually prepaid cell phones so keep em talking and waste their money.
For the past six months or so, I have been receiving phone calls on my cell phone from someone with an Indian accent (yet strangely named "Eric Johnson") who claims to be searching for "Douglas Poole." I have had my phone number since 2006, so I was quite suspicious, although I suspected that some con man just wrote down my number on a loan application. Now I see that it's a scam.
At first I would call back and clarify that I do not know any Douglas Poole and would appreciate having my phone number deleted from their records. Every month or so, however, I would receive a new battery of phone calls. I have gotten increasingly blunt about asking for confirmation that they have deleted my phone number, and will let them know next time that I have reported them online and will be contacting the Better Business Bureau, too.
The phone number only appears as "234" on my Caller ID, but they do request that I call them back at the number above.
I have gotten several calls over the last few days. They claim to be from 'DCA law' and are calling about a payday loan. I find it funny that they get people with the worst accents to pretend to be american lawyers with the world's worst fake names. I swear the one the other day gave me the name of the guy from 16 candles. Lol!
This isn't the first time it's happened, it keeps coming up every few months. I usually ignore them and they go away. This time, they called my work so I got upset.
I called them back, and tried to play nice for a few minutes. I asked what it was regarding, and all they would tell me was a payday loan from something called 'global credit services.' I looked this company up, and they do financing for major companies, not payday loans.
I asked this company- 'dca law' for their website and was told they don't have one. First red flag, what company doesn't have a website? Morons.
Then I asked for details on this supposed debt. They had my email wrong, couldn't give me a date or name of the place I got this loan from, or any relevant details. I told them I would be more than happy to pay any valid debts if they would just give me facts. That got them mad, and they just kept repeating the same info they gave me before- a fake company and an amount. When I told them I wasn't paying the $900 they wanted, the threats started: we'll send cops to your work, we'll call your boss and tell them what kind of person you are, we'll send cops to your house to arrest you, you better get a lawyer, you're in big trouble... blah blah blah.
I told them that I'd look into the 'finance company' for the details, and they got even more upset telling me that the company 'wouldn't entertain my calls.' Whatever...
I am getting calls at work stating that I owe a PAYDAY loan from back in Augusu 2010. Very heavily accented man kept telling me that I got this $500 and that I needed to pay it back. Went to my bank just to make sure nobody had put money into my account which I was sure they hadn't but needed the paperwork to prove it. I didn't get any payday loan and am wondering how they got my work phone number and my checking account number. They have never called me at home only work.
