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.
A VERY rude indian man with a very heavy accent called my job today. He said I owed around $6000.00 in payday loans. He had all my information including my mom's name and my ss#. He was extremely rude, yelling at me! I told him that he called me so how was he going to be rude to me?? He said that I would be arrested from my job tomorrow morning and taken to court. This completely freaked me out! I started asking questions and he said he was from the cybercrime division but for what company...I have no idea. He said his name was Kevin Foster. I called my local police department and they told me it sounded like a scam and that the next time he called me to ask him more questions and see if there was a company he could name. Other than that they said there is no such thing as debtors prison in the US and that collection agencies can NOT arrest you. The only time you are arrested is if you owe taxes to the federal government. This is horrible that people do this and shatter the everyday life a normal person just trying to work. Like most of you I was so scared. I didnt know if I was even going to come to work the next day because of the embarrassment it would cause. This is a form of harassment and every call should be reported to the FCC and local police.
