Someone just called my place of employment and wouldnt tell me who they worked for or her name and was ignorant with me off the bat and wanted to confirm my SSN. I refused to confirm it with them and I told her I dont know what she is calling about and she got really ignorant and scoffed 'Im sure u dont'. Attorney General and BBB r being contacted right now!!!

— 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.

A lady named Lisa Brown called by employment this morning claiming to be from a Fraud Unit from telephone number 678-710-8276. I complained about this same situation last year-actually in the month of December. It appears these calls come at the same time each year and last during the holiday seasons. I'm really sick and tired of this scam.
An uncle of mine received a call from 678-710-8276 for a person calling themselves "Investigator Lee" looking for me. I have no idea how anyone would have his telephone number as I do not use him or his family as references for anything.
After reading the previous messages on this board, I feel this is a scam. Is there any way to keep these people from contacting my relatives again? I do not want anyone harassed like this...and I do not want to actually contact a scam directly myself to allow them to have my home number to harass my elderly mother.
