Miles Howard leaving messages on my cell phone and is also leaving harassing messages on my parents land line he claims that it's an urgent matter and that there has been a complaint filed against me in the state of Georgia. I live in Texas. He said that this is an urgent matter and it needs to be resolved immediately or else! my mother called him back and asked him not to ever call the landline again and after they hung up the phone he immediately call back the phone number he was extremely rude and would not take no for an answer. I have received emails and other phone calls in the past stating that I will go to jail if I do not pay money immediately but when I asked for proof of the payday loan they refused to give me any information. This person also claimed that they were sending the police out to arrest me. I called my local police department and they said that it was a scam. We don't appreciate him harassing us.
Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>
BEWARE of the name Sharon Jackson. Claims to be an investigator and my case has been handed over to legal at the attorneys office for release this afternoon. If they don't hear from me they will proceed with the county's office. You know it's a scam when you begin to ask questions and they refuse to divulge anything and start getting upset. This "lady" was rude and uncooperative. So no matter how official it might sound, DON'T FALL FOR IT! Anything that is truly legal is done in writing.

It looks as if they are trying to hide their actual location. Very suspect, very scammy.
Thank you! Reporting him to the Attorney General! [***]. I love how he wouldn't say what company he is with or give any info besides "there is a felony complaint against you," lol.
