Called me up and said they were going to contact the States Attorney and take a warrant out on me for fraud! Said they have video of me from 2008 entering a Payday store and never payed the debt. Never been to a quick cash store inmy life!!!!!
Deceptive voice message saying I was someone else's "emergency contact" and to have that person call them ASAP. The person they are looking for is no one I know, but someone attached to my phone number before I ever got it. Stacey King said she was with the "Fraud and Theft Division" (no company) and ended the message ominously with "Govern yourself accordingly."
I would like to thank this company because they helped me tremendously. I could've had legal actions taken against me but I was able to resolve on my own. They even gave me a letter of release to ensure this was legit. I was tempted because there are so many scams going on but I know it was something I did so I had to take care of it. It's definitely legitimate.
It is illegal for any bill collector to contact you and threaten legal action over the phone. They can tell you they are contacting the police or anything like that. They also are misrepresenting themselves as an attorneys office, also illegal. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
I've already reported this company to my local police department as well as filed a complaint with the FTC.
