I got the same exact call at my office and my cell ,I called back at419-595-0793 and got some foreign guy that said he was from the dept of ohio about a lawsuit against my ss #. I had a few choice words with them and he cussed me using four letter words and that confirmed to me that they were not a legal business. I told them to not call me again.
They have called me several times about the same matter. They wanted the name of my attorney. When I tried to give it to them they wouldn't take it, they couldn't wait to get off the phone. There call back number was 760-713-6517
I keep getting messages from these people...usually someone with an Indian accent. I have had Payday loans; but this is a scam. It is scary because they know a lot of personal information and threaten you. It is illegal to threaten, jail or court time. I called them back today and stated that I knew they were a scam. They needed to learn English and identify themselves and the payday loan I supposedly owe properly. I also told them they were being reported to the BBB and the District Attorney's office where I live. They hung up. I called back three times and repeated myself. So far , no new calls. I have been getting these scammers for about 6 months now. Someone went rogue at a payday loan place and gave away information in my opinion. Know your rights. You can be threatened.
