I received a call from them today, regarding out standing payday loans from six years ago. The guy I spoke with was Chris Hayes. He was extremely rude wouldn't let me speak and then told me I'd be arrested. He called me at work. He them transferred me to his boss Pamela Daniels and I spoke with her she claimed I owed money (I don't owe any debt to them) and said I had to pay by the end of the day or they'd have me arrested. They claim to have sent me a letter, I have no letter. When I called again to speak to Pamela Daniels I was transferred to Erin Fletcher who told me she would email me a copy of the letter. She claimed I'd get the email in 30 minutes... She said this 3pm, It's two hours later... I still have no email. I contacted an attorney. If you got a call from them you should too. Also get as much of the business information as possible and file complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau, and The Attorney General. It is a scam.
Nichole: i also got a call from them today saying i have until 10am 10/10/12 to pay it or else i am going to jail and its a felony. what do i do i am scared and i really don't know what to do please help me
Stop answering the phone. Nothing will happen. It's an extortion scam. These people are criminals. They belong in jail.
If they know your account numbers report it to the bank and get new numbers. If they have your SSN put a fraud alert on your credit. Change your phone numbers. Report them to the police, the FTC and http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx Lock down your Facebook account, they could be getting some of your information there.
They want you scared. They think if they get you scared enough you will pay them. Even real collectors can't put you in jail for owing money. It is illegal to tell you that they can.
These people called me stating that I owe them for a payday loan 6 years ago and that I had 3 hrs to come up with the money or I would be arrested what type of scam or they doing here I'm getting a lawyer.
