This the new phone number for the latest phone scam.The mans name is Mark Slater and he says he is with Spencer Law Firm and that I have a law suit against me from a payday loan company.I told him I am not stupid that I know if someone has a lawsuit against you they don't call and tell you so he said he was going to send a office to my home and to my job within the hour well still waiting. So I called them back to get the name of their law firm and after I hung up someone from there called me back and wanted to know why I called and when I told him because I needed the name of the law firm so I could file a complaint he told me to never call there again. I guess they don't like getting phone calls so if they call you call them back and ask them lots and lots of questions they don't like it.
I RECEIVED NUMEROUS CALLS ON MY CELL # AND MY WORK PHONE ABOUT A PAYDAY LOAN LAWSUIT AS WELL. I HAVE TOLD THEM TO STOP CALLING AND THEY BEGIN TO CALL FROM OTHER NUMBERS. MALE NAMED ADAM LEFT MESSAGES AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT SAYING HE WAS A LEGAL ASSOCIATE AT SPENCER LAW FIRM. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL BACK TO COMPLAINT AND THE LINE KEEPS RINGING BUSY!
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:
