I get about 4 calls a month from this company MCI from Steven Page saying I am going to be served papers for Internet Banking fraud. I have explained I have never had a payday loan or any other loan over the Internet. These people are part of a scam. The Arkansas Attorney General had this scam on the news 2 weeks ago DON'T FALL FOR IT.
Caller claims they are MCI a bill collector for MetaBank. They claim I took out a loan in January 2011 which isn't true. In addition, I just filed bankruptcy so if their was any such loan it would have been on my credit report. Its a scam to try to collect money through fear tactics.

Got a call from them today guy left a message saying he is Lawson Stevens and there is a very important legal matter I need to address with them. Funny thing is that he does not leave any case numbers or anything. I have been dealing with theses scammers for the past year if you just ignore them they end up selling it to a different company. I know its illegitimate because I took a payday loan out in 2006-07 and that one was already paid back, not to mention the statute of limitations in CA is 4 years on collecting this type of debt. ITS A SCAM!

— filed under: Press Release
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.
