This number called my work,the man (David,Scott) was calling the owner names and cursing told her he wanted her to take his number and make me call him. The owner gave me phone and I gave the man my cell number and told him to stop calling my work,he said ill call 1000 times. Then he kept calling back and cursing, pushing buttons ,said he wasn't gona call my cell that he wanted me to call him. He was told that he was given the cell number and he said we were lying that he didn't get a number. I called the number back when I got home, they put a man on the claiming he was officer John Mcdowell, said he was a officer of the law and he stated his title with the word juvenile in it. What does that have to do with a outstanding loan? He wanted me to send 752.00 or it would go to court and it would be almost 6000.He said that my ssn would have a black mark and I would never be able to get a loan again.He said he didn't know what company that my loan was from or what kind of loan payday,bank or credit card. he said that every 5 years companies do a audit and go back and sue people for the money they owe them and my name was on list with 85 others. He said I had 48 hours to decide and after that they couldn't help me. he wanted me to send the money and he said if I proved that it wasn't my debit he would gladly refund my money.They had my ssn,drivers license number,address, email, birthdate,work info.he asked me if the info was correct I didn't confirm.
Got a call today from a guy named ethan with a heavy accent said he was from crime department saying I made a loan and never paid it back and he was going to call my job and get me fired

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
