Please do not fall for these threats. Ask for validation of the debt, proof of any payday loan because this company uses information that consumers place on a "pay day loan" site that is actually a phishing site for private information. Check with your state Attorney General office because if legal action is threatened and they are a valid collection company, they must pursue legal actions. Also, any collection company must provide proof of the debt if requested.
They threatened to call references and I don't even know how they got them. I am turning the information over to the authorities. Don't fall for this it is a lie. When I attempted to call them back after calling them onto the carpet they got mad and wouldn't answer my phone calls. Instead they threatened to call my job and my references. I haven't applied for a payday loan so I am not sure how they got references. Don't get taken in by this.
got calls from "Bernice Martin" from "Dept of Law & Investigation" - same scenario. There is a case pending against my name & SS#, if I dont call back they will contact my employer & references. Believe or not at the end she says "God Bless You" .
They are saying that they are from "American Legal Services" funny thing is that this company is a true a legit company that is doing legit business and someone is just stealing their name. At the bottom of their website for this company there is a scam alert related to this. I hope that the authorities get to them soon.
