automated message from auto loan program.

unrecognized number to my cell phone; never leaves message

Has been calling for days without leaving a number, I answered today and it was some Indian accent guy that I couldn't understand who was practically yelling, I asked him to slow down and speak clearly and still had trouble understanding, something about "you previously.... so I''m sure you are still looking..." no idea what the rest of it was.  I asked him 'What???" and he hung up on me.  I haven't applied for credit like car loan in three years, but that may be it based on above post.

I kept getting calls today, never left a msg.. i called it back.. was a recording then an option to press 1 to go on and 2 to opt out. i hit 2..and someone answered said they were from Auto Loan Network. Foreign speaking. I asked how they got my info, i dont even know what he said. he had my name and even my SSN.. this is nuts.. any ideas what to do???

Just received 2 calls from this # looking for someone who is not me. Sounded like a call from overseas, they didn't speak very good english. I said to take my number of list, and they hung up on me. I am sure it's a telemarketing call. It's aggrivating!

they have been calling me now for the last week and they are calling me 3 to 4 times a day.

I received a call from 4084626580 at 3:34pm...I answered and no one said anything..This person also called on Wednesday morning at 8:11am...Did not say a word..I'm very angry at whoever this is..All they want is money.

Receiving calls from this number SEVERAL times a day.......had a message from it once, but it was just a loud sigh.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release
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.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:

■Notify your banking institutions.
■Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
■Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
■File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

■Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
■Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
■Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
■Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
■Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
■When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements
