They were also very rude with my sister and they told her that they were going to arrest her if she wouldn't pay. They told her they would see her behind bars.
These people called and left my husband a voicemail yesterday and the gentleman said his name was Donald Rogers (ironic since that is my husband's first name). They called my husband again and spoke with him this morning and was telling him he would be forced to go to the courthouse here even though they would not tell him how that was to be done. They had all of his information as well (ssn, address, telephone numb, etc.) He called back to get a fax of the lawsuit against him and they told him that they are not able to fax the info and hung up when he started asking questions.
Man called me today saying his name was Kevin Foster (foreign - I couldn't understand him thru part of the conversation) with Cyber Crimes Department. Said I owned money for a loan I never took out. Had my SS#, bank info, address, work #, etc. Threatened to have me arrested in the morning if I didn't settle matter immediately. Said I borrowed $300.00, but could clear the matter up for $847.00. Refused to fax over "court documents". Said they would arrest me at work. Became verbally abusive when I started asking basic questions. When I asked to speak with a supervisor I was on hold for a few minutes, then the same guy came back on the line & said his name was Mark Fraiser. I called local police and the officer I spoke with said they had called him with the same scam.
A male with a strong accent have been calling,trying to leave messages for me about a unpaid loan, gave my sisters and grandmas name and said if i dont resolve this by 6 p.m. this evening, 2 investigators will be coming to my address(gave me my correct address)on monday to bring me to the courthouse to face more serious charges? gave me the # 650-423-2161. his name was mark brown.

Better Business Bureau has issued a national alert about phony debt collectors that are calling consumers nationwide and claiming that they have defaulted on a payday loan and will be arrested if they don’t pay immediately.
Claiming to be lawyers, the scammers say they are with the “Financial Accountability Association” or the “Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans” and often have the victim’s Social Security, old bank account numbers or driver’s license numbers as well as home addresses, employer information and even the names of personal friends and professional references.
