I just received a call from them claiming that my name showed up on a "formal complaint" and named another person and that if I had questions, I should call. They left a number 866-231-8748 and an extension, 105. I called and reached the voicemail of a John Wahl (don't know how to spell it, but is it pronounced "wall"). I'll call back in a bit and see what they have to say.
I literally had this exact same conversation with Sharon Burke today. Except I didn't get transferred to Kevin Love. These people need to be hunted down...
Nina, I received the same messages from this same company today, May 11, 206 about a payday loan that was taking out from Highland Holdings Group. I read your message, and I spoke with a KEVIN LOVE!! I just had to write you and let you know that your message really got me thinking. I even told MR. LOVE that I don't give out my account number nor my credit card number over the telephone. He then told me to go and purchase a PREPAID DEBT CARD and load the money on it to pay this debt. LOL I laughed in his face and told him no BIG organization that is trying to get a collect a debt will tell someone to purchase a prepaid card to pay this debt. I was never told this by any other organization that I owed money too. Thanks for this information!!
I received a call also from a "restricted" number with a request to call 877-729-2782. They (no name, no id) said they had a complaint filed in their office for a civil suit for another person (I don't know) but my name was also included in the suit. They even gave me a case file #. Pretty sneaky, huh? Of course, I initially got nervous, called the number they gave and got a voice mail from a Kevin Love to leave a message. I realized a little later that this had to be a scam. I did report this number to my cell phone carrier to ensure they won't be assessing any kind of charge to my account for this call.
Total scam. This CJB or CJB and Associates has a history on 800notes. Threats, claiming to be "processors" with the "county" and so forth. Ignore and block the calls. No idea where they are located.
