I called Lakewood and filed a report on this number..so sad I dont have a lawyer :( have no money to get one..they said this is a scam and if they call back hang up..wow every time I hear the sirens I think I'm going to jail...The officer said " if it was a loan u took it would go to court after if I don't pay it will go on my credit..they will not arrest me, or call and say that...they will just pick me up..they get into ur computer and hack it that's how they can get info....wow what a day...
This guy is calling me all day, Saying his name is jim straw sounds foreign that my lawyer needs to call. sounds like a scam. You cant get picked up for an unpaid loan and get arrested lol. I cant wait to call him back. this dude is retarted.
This is such B.S. - I am receiving these same type calls as described in these other posts. It is very scary and obviously I was concerned when he said that I would be arrested & taken to jail by Monday. I don't have any unpaid loans to my knowledge unless I have had fraudulant activity by someone using my name & SS# or something. How did they get my name etc.????? Pretty scary stuff!!!! I unfortunately have had to take out a payday loan in the past (but, paid it back in full!) and I think this is where this B.S. stemmed from. Why can't people just work for a living like all the rest of us instead of scaring the crap out of us while we are just trying to make financial ends meet. This type of unnessary stress is the last thing everyone needs! I wish I could make this kind of crap stop for all of us!!!!!!
And I forgot to mention the similarity in the other posts about this same phone # - yes, he is of foreign descent. He talks VERY fast and is hard to understand. He is calling my place of employment which is extremely embarrasing. Does anyone know how I can make them stop? Any help would be appreciated. Earlier today I returned the call (after he had left a voice mail message on my phone) and he tried to talk me in to going down to a local store and sending a Western Union or Money Gram with the promise that if I did this "this would all go away and it would be resolved". Pretty rough scam that scared me! He says that he is calling from an Attorney's office! Please beware everyone and let's not let them get away with making victims of hard working innocent people like ourselves. The calls are coming in from 720-324-2619 & he calls himself Mr. Pratt.
