My mother got a call from this number saying he was john smith and he was trying to collect a debt from memphis, tn. I don't owe anybody money in memphis. I filed bankrupt a few years back when I was living there and never to this day took out any loans, payday. Etc. John smith told my mother if I didn't call him back the next day by 10:30am that he will have me served and brought back to memphis and put in jail. He also said he have bern trying to reach me for a very long time. Now I'm wondering do the scammers know that we know they can google information on ppl then use that to scare us into believing them. They cave her a case number and all. Thus really needs to stop. It's like if u ever took out a payday loan or filed bankruptcy ppl use that against you to gets money. I know somebody can put a stop to this. Innocent ppl going to jail for notjing
So what all did they do? They called my sister in law and said they trying to reach me so she called me her name is tiffany. Who can u call to find out if scam
The same thing happened to me and i got an attny to find out what to do and turns out i did retain the loan and my attny advd me to pay it. they gave me a receipt and a final letter. to be honest i took the loan out i jus lost my job and couldnt pay it and forgot about it. its easier to jus handle it
I received a vm message from this number - from Tiffany. Any time someone end a call with "goodluck" I am suspect of the legitimacy of the business. I got a message about fraudulent charges - something to be filed against me and my ss# and the person was clearly reading from a script. The bottomline is this - if there a real outstanding debt that is to be collected you would receive a detailed letter in the mail and a professional phone call. This call was just a person reading a script hoping to scare people into paying debts they do not owe.
