Called them back yesterday. They wanted my SS# to verify who I was. I told them I don't give that out over the phone to an unknown caller. She read me a SS# back which didn't match mine. Now the call again today with my SS# and said it was in regards to a PD loan I took out 4 years ago with CTC & that they have been calling me all along. News to me. Told them if they had my address to send me something in the mail and I hung up.
This number (925-298-6048) called me later this afternoon on my cell phone; after I received a call from (678-607-2695) on my home this morning they said I have check fraud charges against me and that I had until 2pm eastern time to pay them. They said I owed a check back from 2006 to a payday loan service, bu they gave me an address that was on the check of where I lived over 20 years ago. I was stupid and was not thinking at the time and gave them my current address information. But, I did not at any time give them my cell phone number. They turned around later this afternoon called my home phone and then since I did not answer they turned around and called my cell phone. How did they get this? The number is in my mother's name. I am going to contact the attorney generals office and report them. I searched on Yahoo for that number and people said that it was a scam.
They called me today and claimed I owed them money for an internet loan from 4 years ago. I told them that I would gladly pay if they could send me orignial loan documentation. They calimed that they never send documents through the mail Instead, they wanted to send it to my e-mail address.
I declined to give them my e-mail address and hung up. They didn't call back.
Reading between the lines here: If they won't send you any documents through the mail, they don't want to get charged with postal fraud.
These scam artists have gotten to be very sophisticated and many are inter-connected. They pass your information off from one to another to commit fraud.
what a scum bag of fat loser chicks trying to collect on people who no longer have the original number they have been given! One [***] was more than happy to get me off, but the other 3 chicks were not happy that they call on behalf of a low grade company. That's too bad, because what I could give them would excite them more than the commission they make on bad harrassing callls to numbers that are not valid. 2 choices...do me, or get fined by the ftc! What is the choice?
