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.
Now, now, "alex" or should we say Habib? I know this site has made it hard for you to keep stealing from people (what IS the penalty for theft in your country?) But just write it off as the cost of doing business and use another phony number to try to rip people off, because of course, everyone here knows this number is a scam. Maybe you should just get a real job; being a thief can't be easy....
As it's a scam, using a phony number (number may be legit, but it's not actually coming from the US) forget trying to much legally. Would suggest an air horn or metal coach's whistle. Should only take once or twice, depending on how many of them there are at this scamming location, and/or how stupid they are.
I received this call on my cell phone today. The guy said that I was a reference for a relative and that I was included in the lawsuit they had against my relative. I knew immediately this was a scam. So I gathered up 10 of my friends, and we all called them back, over and over again. One guy asked me, "Is the reason you are calling me so much, is because you think I'm hot?" LOL. After the 60th or so call, they would just hang up on us. I figured that I had time to waste, and it kept them busy not harrassing other people for a while. My friends and I are going to call them back every day for as long as the number is working. Maybe all of you could try this.
The number is a from a fraudulent company. I received a call from them threatening legal action for a debt from 2009 that I had not acquired. I don't know which company they were able to receive my personal information from, but they have it and are not a ligitimate company. Some guy made up the name of "Alex Smith" and wanted me to pay for some unknown debt that he made up. He gave me fake names of companies and obviously his name was fake. He told me "F*$! You" after I refused to coorporate with him trying to get me to pay, at which time I really knew it was a scam.
