Stated he was an officer from the FBI and that there is a legal action against me and I was going to be arrested if I didn't comply. When I asked who the legal action was from he said he was going to transfer me to his supervisor and began yelling and hung up.
I was told that I would be arrested within the next 30 minutes because I supposedly violated EFT laws. They claimed they were from the Federal Investigation Department and he gave me a badge number 78650
Illegal debt collector. Defaulting on one of these payday or internet loans obtained by wire transfer is not a criminal act but their false threats of arrest certainly are.
I just got a call today and I didn't understand half of the message left no my voicemail because the person had a very thick accent. The caller ID said "New York". I assumed it was not letgit. Someone named Eduardo Lamb used my number for payday loans and I am constantly getting calls so I assume this call was supposed to go to him and not to me.
i received a call from this number. The first time I talked to them, I got so mad I hung up on them for telling me I needed an attorny to keep from being arrested. When I called them back, I was given a case # by Officer Scoddell who proceeded to tell my that I defaulted on a loan with Cash Advance. I've never applied for a loan with them, much less defaulted on one. The last thing he told me was the county sheriff in the town where I used to live would be contacting me next. I told him that these collection tactics are illegal in my state and I was reporting them to the the FTC.
