Scam violates multiple laws and needs to be punished to full extent of law. Crooks who pray on people's financial hardships. Don't bye in to the bs. Gov is failing miserably in protecting people's identities from being stolen so easy by crooks like these.
The people that called me used a private unlisted number. However the people call themselves PS Associates and directed me to call 1-844-727-3625 (which is a call center), stating charges have been filed against me in Sacramento, county and this could be eliminated if I paid them money for a payday loan two years ago. Each time I receive a call from the 863-6060 number it is either a male or female with no accent (straight english)

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
