I have received daily calls from this phone number, the guy said his name is David Watson. He had a thick indian accent. He advised I owe Advance America over 1300.00 for a loan that I never got. When I asked for him to send me documentation, he said they couldnt until I made a payment. Today, he called again. Although his previous threats of jail time, criminal prosecution, and not being able to work initially scared me, now I am just pissed off. One of the big red flags was that he said their system couldnt process any payments under $150.00.
I went to the Advance America website, and on the homepage there is a link listing this as a scam!!!! Please BE AWARE and dont send them any money.
I keep getting this call from this number and once it was from Marve Carol, then Carlos White saying they are from Oakview Law Firm and that someone is suing me and that I need to call them ASAP, or I will have police at my job and my home. The last call I got at my work this morning asking if I was Barb XXXX and I said yes, he said hold on while I get my senior officer on the line. I said no, he gave me his number to call him back and he was very mean and rude. Then mins. after that a Marve Carol called my cell phone and left a msg. that there a State suit being filed against me and that if he didn't hear from me then I could expect to have the police at my work and home to arrest me. What is this, I haven't called them back but will tonight after work
Don't worry about it, total scam I have gotten several calls from people like thst. All of my loans are current, if you are worried call the payday loan company they are supposed to be representing, even they will tell you to ignore them.
Second time they called me. I missed the call yesterday and decided to call back. The person I spoke to said his name was Officer Mark and I was being sued, I told him he was a liar and full of ****. After going back and forth woth him I hung up, I called back because I wanted to know what payday company he was calling about, so I could cal them and tell them what was going on. Of course he refused and after I said ti go F himsrlf I hung up. They just called again and I asked, Habla Espanol. After saying that 3 or 4 times I was talking to a dialtone. Hope they cal again, my wife will answer and she speaks fluent German.
Called me and told me I owed over 12,000 dollors to some payday loan company I never heard of. Telling me I was a piece of [***] for not paying the loan. They can't access my checking account to get their money, of course they can't, bank won't let them. Told him to send me papers in the mail. He said I should have recieved court documents all ready. I have nothing. He then told me I had to go tell my supervisor what I did because they were going to serve him/her with the court papers at my place of employment. I told him I wasn't falling for his scam. I'm getting tired of the calls and I'm not falling for the threats. One cannot be arrested for a loan. One does not have to tell his/her supervisor about what is going on in his/her life. I told him all the crap he was saying to me was illeagal and against federal law. I told him one day the feds will catch up with them for their criminal acts. They just caught a group running this same scam in California. They were from Indinia.
