I too received a call from these people today. A Kimberly Davis left a message and a "case number". First she didn;t even know my last name. Whatever she said was NOTHING like Stafford. She stated she was calling from a fraud investigation firm (No name of company given) and that my name and social security number had come up in a fraud investigation and that it would be in my best interest to contact her and if I chose not to she would see me in court. This is the second call I have received from this number 713-261-1403. Last year the same thing. Last year I clled the FBI and the United States Fraud Board or some such in Washington. They informed me htis was a scam and to ignore these type of phone calls. Sated if this was a legitamite company there would be certifiesd letters and more professional type of phone calls. Not threatening trype of phone calls.
I did also, claiming I took out a payday loan in Oct 2010 from Drake Payday loand. I have never heard of this compnay or have taken any payday loans.. they threatened to have the sherrif issue an arrest warrant if I did not pay, as if I did not know better. this must be some new scam, DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY MONEY OVER THE PHONE, have them prove what they say...
I got a call from them. Saying i had a payday loan wich i had faulted on. I think that part is right. But. It was mte financial. And he couldnt privide me any doc. Other than a bogus fax. Witch had no phone# only fax# said he was going to send off a warrent for my arrest in my count courthouse. When i call i get hello.... No name of business or anything. Not sure if its scam or not. he had my bank info... Plz help. Thanks
They first called my husband and scared him to death by telling him that there was a warrant out for my arrest at 4:00 this afternoon. I got the info from him which included the phone number, and a "case number". I called the number, 713-261-1403, got a voice mail which identified them as ELITE INVESTIGATIONS in Houston, TX. I left my name and number and the "case number", got a return call in a matter of minutes from a "Logan" somebody or other. He proceeded to tell ME that this was BANK FRAUD on my account and then he mispronounced the name of the bank. I informed him that I didn't owe anyone anything, demanded that they stop calling me and my husband and demanded that he fax whatever information he had to my attorney. Gave him the fax number. So far haven't received anything. My actual conversation included a lot of profanity on my part which alluded to his parentage and where he could put his information.
I RECEIVED THE SAME CALL THIS MORNING ON MY CELL PHONE. SAID I OWED 4500 FROM A PAYDAY LOAN IN 2007 (I NEVER TOOK ONE)... I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND CRYING BECAUSE THE VERY OFFICIAL LIKE MAN SAID HE WAS GOING TO SUBMIT THE WARRANT AFFADAVIT TO MY LOCAL SHERRIFF AND I WOULD BE IN PRISON IF I DID NOT PAY HALF OF THAT AMOUNT RIGHT NOW AND THEN THEY WOULD GIVE ME A "HARDSHIP" EXTENSION FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE. THEY WOULD LET ME PAY 2 PAYMENTS IN SEPTEMBER. LIKE I SAID I WAS FREAKING OUT SO I GAVE THEM A CC# AND THEY GOT THEIR MONEY, WELL $2300 ANYWAY.. NOW WHAT DO I DO?? I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS GROUP.. I CANNOT AFFORD TO THROW MONEY AWAY.. THE CREDIT CARD STATEMENT SHOWS A PENDING TRANSACTION FROM A PROCESSING COMPANY
