I just got a call from that number and it stated, upon me calling back, that the number has elected not to receive phone calls...ive had tons of these calls and it gets ridiculous and be warned ive gotten ones from numbers that have been disconnected who knows how that happens.
This is a payday loan company, calling to offer payday loans, for which I didn't apply. I ask them how did they get my number and was that I was listed as a reference. I told them to remove me from their list. I'm pretty sure it's an outsourced call center, because the person had a very thick accent.
Yes I just got a call from them lots of noise in the background and I could hardly understand the man that was talking. The minute he mentioned payday loans I'm like no way your interest is waaaay to high. I work for Bankruptcy and I see so many people use payday loans and they get themselves into so much trouble. I know people can go there in a pinch but I saw one was 380+ % interest.
I got a little nervous after the call, I was thinking Oh my did someone steal my information and open a payday loan account. So I did my search for the number on-line and your message eased my fear. I'm still going to check my credit report but I hope these people never call again.. I feel for those who fall into their trap.
I'm getting numerous annoying and threatening calls from these people with a thick indian accent. They start in the morning and last up to 9pm. They say I've been approved for a pay day loan and a car loan. I've been told to get an Atty and be at the Court House or make a settlement or the phone. Even after I tell them that I didn't accept any loan offers they still call and harass me. Most of these calls come from California. I've notified the proper authorities and I hope these people get caught and are charged.
