same person called me and had information about me..they ended up hanging up on me when I wouldnt verify anything..they had called a couple weeks back from a different number and attempted to scam me at that point as well..they can barely speak English and will become very irritated if you ask questions..i havent taken out any loans but had checked into one but never got it...from what ive read and seen these people are total scam artists..seems like they have nothing better to do with their time then to try and make people believe they are in a great deal of trouble
These people are posing as law enforcement investigators, from the office of financial crime investigating a payday loan that has not been repaid and demanding payment or your soc. number will be frozen. They become very pushy when asked for detailed info about what they are claiming and then hang up.
Don't give them any info. I called that number from a G phone and they would not answer and then called it again from my buddies cell 10 secs later and they answered. It's a scam!
This company called and said that my ssn was being investigated and that if I didn't call them back that they would take legal actions. I had recieved a call a while back from another number that said the same thing and when I told them to do what they had to do they hung up the phone and I havent recieved another call from them since now this number is calling wonder if it is the same people with a different number.
I have been receiving calls from this number daily, even on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately whenever they call I am working so it goes to voice mail. The voice mails left say that a lawsuit has been filed that matches my ss #. I have tried calling back several times but it just rings to voice mail.
I did start an application online for a payday loan last month but never went through with it. I didn't even supply my bank routing number. But I did use my social security number. I never went through with it due to outrageous finance rates. But for about 2 weeks my phone, email, and po box were inundated with people trying to give me a payday loan. They were quite pushy but I never went through with it, and I have the bank statements to prove it. So I am wondering if it is a scam. Once I finally stop playing phone tag with them I will update. :)
