I received a short garbled message from this number and when I tried to return the call the operator said its a non working number. Earlier I answered a call from this same non working number and no one would answer my greetings.
This # has been calling me for 3 days..its 10:02pm my time and it just called again..i answered and then a guy with an indian accent started telling me about my debt that was between 5 and $10,000...I asked the man if he even knew who he was speaking to then he called me terry... I told him to put his supervisor on and he told me no then hung up...I work for a collections agency and that man did everything your not aloud to do..the whole process was illegal... i dont think its a collections agency at all and when i go into work monday im pulling a metris on the #...im pretty sure its a scam and if not they are gonna have serious legal issues when I do find out which company it is...ill update everyone =:o)
We just got a call from this phone number on one of our cell phones yesterday, and I believe it's the same Indian accent ppl. who have been trying to scam money out of my daughter. She applied for a payday loan on the computer (yes, I know this is stupid to do, and now she knows to never put personal info. on the computer). She was denied of the loan, but they have all her personal info such as home/work phone numbers, banking info., SS#, etc. and she put me down as a reference so they had my phone number also. This has been going on for over a year, and has been all over the news of this scam. Someone hacked into a payday loan computer and got personal info. on many, many, many people and when they fail to get money out of someone, they sell the acct. information to some other shady organization. They have been harassing both my daughter and I saying she received money for a loan and want her to pay $1,000 to settle out of court. They have threatened to come to her place of employment and take her to court/jail (this is not done in the U.S. and is totally bogus). I heard that they are calling from India and can spoof any phone number to make you believe they are calling from the U.S.. The FBI and and several other organizations have been trying to crack down on these people because several people just pay the money thinking that they will be hauled off to jail if they don't. Again, not sure if this is the same scam, but anytime someone who calls with an Indian accent (my son answered the phone and told them I was not here), I gotta believe that it is them trying to harass us again. Hope this information helps.
