some guy called threatening to have an invetigstor come to my house. because i had apparently taken out a payday loan and it went to my account. he asked me if i had an attorney, then asked for my employer info which i told him i was disabled. then he said that they tried to retrieve the said monies and it was declined, the account it supposedly went to has been closed since june 9th 2011. he then proceeded to give me his attorneys number and it was the same number he just called me from, he told me to ask for Roger Clark. i then called this Roger Clark and he told me the same story as the unkown man, the background noise was the same as the first call the number is 831-536-7749.

i got a phone call from this person also. it was very scary and upsetting. i did received other phone call from a shawn guy saying that i owed a different amt.
I got a call to my job today and the message was unclear. they were laughing and playing in the background so i thought it was work realated. i then checked my cell and there was a message there asking me or my attorney to call and if i dont God Bless. the lady didnt speak english well but when i called the number back it was a cell phone and the vmail was full.... what is going on??
Your caller is a scammer for an extortion scam. Scammers use bought/hacked/phished loan application data to extort payments for fictitious debts from victims and victims' families and friends. Buy a whistle or air horn and blow his ear off. Or test your smoke detector while holding the phone close to it. Works wonders.
