OMG these ppl keep calling me saying they gone come to my job they gone send me to small claims court and whole lot of other stuff they been calling all day and all last week
Young man left a message on my answering machine claiming to be looking someone in regard to a legal matter assigned to his office. Identified the office as "Apax" or "Apac" or something like that. The name he left for the person he was looking for is unknown to me. He did begin his message saying he wasn't sure he had the correct number. Asked for a return call and left a file number to reference. (I won't be returning the call).
Robert Levy from the "Apex Corporation" called and left a message on my phone for a "Kevin McNeer" in regard to a supposed "legal claim" I have no idea who this "Kevin McNeer" is, this is more than likely some type of telephone scam where "Robert Levy" will try to trick people into proving that they are not whoever he is looking for by requiring them to give out personal information. DO NOT give out any of your information and contact your local law enforcement if it keeps occurring.
716-748-6169 APEX HOLDINGS. This is not a real company - they change their name to avoid being found. They also change their phone numbers, and also Spoof numbers on your caller ID. Real Low Life. Here's the lay of the land as they say, I work in the court system so I will go through this for you .
First they are calling because they say they can not find you. This is Crap as the sheriff, will NEVER, EVER call you to tell you they are coming. They live to work on the element of surprise. Plus if your township, county etc, wants you, they already know where you are, so sit tight.
Second, and most important, NEVER CALL these low life bottom feeders back. Because truth be known they don't care who they talk to as long as they can get money from someone. It doesn't even have to be the right person. If you call them back then they know that they have a real tangible working phone number that they can call to harass you all the time of day and night. Just ignore the call, or better yet, tag them as a spam call in your phone, and you'll never even see them ring it.
Third, these people function and live on the *Fear factor* they will say anything, tell you anything to get you to give them the money through your checking account, debit card or credit card. Many people get scammed this way. I've heard : coming to your workplace to arrest you, serving you in the morning if you don't call by a certain time, attaching your salary, etc, etc, this is all nothing but crap.
Fourth, in most states payday loans are ILLEGAL as they charge obnoxious interest, and states are trying desperately to control that. Since I'm not sure of what state anyone is in, I cannot site them all here, but if you go to your states attorney general page, you should be able to look up the laws.
Fifth, I know it sounds nice to send them a letter or report them, but this is a futile. They have got this to a science. With all that is going on in court system they know they have time on their side. Not enough of these low life bottom feeders get caught and prosecuted, if they did...they wouldn't still be in business, but they are, thousands of them.
Lastly, anyone who posts that you are scum or a deadbeat PAY YOUR BILLS , OR OMG they came to my place of work and arrested me, are full of crap and are just trying to SCARE you, SEE MY THIRD NOTE Above, Fear factor.
Best thing to do in this case, especially with these people is TO IGNORE. Eventually when no one engages with them they will go away to torment someone else.
I received a call to day 716-748-6169 and the woman started talking identifying herself as Nicole with Zimmerman & A and then she hung up the phone the number came up as a Buffalo, NY number. I figured she would call back and leave an other message but she didn't.
