Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010 FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691
— filed under: Press Release
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.
Well the just happen to me on yesterday. They left a message at my job and I called back, but they were very rude and then had the nerve to hang up in my face. I spoke with an office about the situation, but I am just like everyone else how and where did they get our info..I also get calls from other #'s that show up as Iowa, Kansas, Florida and etc.. I just ignore the calls.
I told them my husband would call who is a police officer and they threatened to shoot him down. I would say start there and tell them you will have your spouse call who is a police officer.
Once they make a threat on someones life, well, it is obviously not legit.
Continue to receive phone calls at work and my cell phone from "Wilson" and some other name law offices. Told me that all the paralegals had gone home for the day. This has something to do with a pay day loan...say its with Cash America...that if I don't pay...I'd better have a good attorney because they will send an arrest warrant out for me.
