Received call from RGG consulting saying they are calling about two fraud cases. Said they are contacting HR department and would receive packet at home or work. Sounds like a scam. Has anyone else had these calls? Called from 704-709-2133 and wanted us to call back to 860-261-2819. Anyone else received these calls?
Yest the same thing happened to me. The call is so stressful to the naive ear. I was naive and called them back. They want all this information from you but I did not provide them with nothing. It is a shame that people are in the business of spreading unnecessary stress and anxiety. Hopefully, no one falls for their b.s. For their own internal health, they need to stop. This type of harassment invites karmatic debt that is hard to endure. Please stop!!!!
Well as direct as that comment is the whole reason it's a scam is no one has taken out payday loans so we can't stop something we haven't done. But already did the above advice so thanks.
A holes! I just got a call from them. They left a message saying it's a time sensitive matter. Call immediately. Good luck.. REALLY THEY ARE BLOCKED. Don't have time for these scammers. Get a real job and stop trying to steal money from others..
I just got a call saying the same thing but supposedly my case is pending in LA county court and if I don't respond volunteerly they will contact my HR department
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
