Keeps calling

These people first called from a number that just came up as 888 on my caller id. I did a search of the phone number they wanted me to call back to, which was in a different area code and found they are a scam.

They call in and say you took out a payday loan and that you never paid it back, then tell you that you need to pay back the money and write and apology letter as to why you didn't make your payments. Or they threaten you with jail.

Come on dummies.. I mean really? Jail? I have never heard of a collection company that will threaten jail, and if they were truly a collection company they would have to state that fact when they leave messages.

It cracks me up at the end of the message how they say.. "All I can say if you ignore my message is Good Luck as this situation unfolds on you.."
Yikes, scary.. I'm really trembling now.

Same s**t happened to me!!! they said, "if you dont' comply only god can help you" They kept saying their name was Chris Williams and i was cracking up because the person on the other line was clearly NOT AMERICAN. I kept asking to speak to an american speaking person and they kept saying they would get one, and set down the phone, then pick it back up and try to speak more clearly, using a different name like "Joe smith" hahah.. damn them! damn im glad I googled the phone number to find out it is a scam!!! any ideas how to report these basterds???

thanks for the info, this just saved my a**!

same thing here 888 on caller id, number left on message was 619-342-0094 said my attorney (who ever that is) or I had to call as soon as possible and if I didn't only God can help me after it unfold on me LOL (darn unabombers) thanks to this blog I know it's a SCAM

These scam artist called me about a payday loan and told me the sheriffs were coming to get me and that I owed over 5K in fees - SCAM!!!!  This is untrue and tell them to go jump in the lake.

I got the same call CRAZY... So when I called to cops they told me it was a SCAM.. Wow I can't believe so many other people are getting that call to. They got really careless with our thou they said we had the money deposited on the 24th of 2007... And I never had a checking acct at that time. We didn't open it till 2008 haha funny!!!

Yes they called me too about me owning 1300 to US Bank..and that i owed 1300 bucks but if i paid 700 by the end of today, then i would be safe from going to court..they didn't know i worked in a lawfirm and i took the call to a lawyer..we figured that it was a scam..they guy name was Eric williams but u cud tell he was Indian..he kept telling me if i didn't pay 700 today then it would go up to 5000 tomorrow and they wud press criminal charges against me....do not fall for this!

They also called my Husband and told him that he took out a payday loan for $300-$400 and that it was from First US Bank, and that we owed them $1000 or tomorrow it would become $5000 and that the cops were being called on him and that they had an affidavit (sp) and that we were in big trouble, and then I went online and googled them and read what I already knew was they were scammers, but jsut wanted to say Thanks to ever realized they were scammers.

SO I received a call this morning on my cell phone, I had a weird feeling initially because my caller ID simply said “888″.

I answered the phone and a man on the other end said in very broken English (Middle Eastern I believe), “Hi, I’m am calling, report to you, big trouble, you call hotline, we have affidavit, you no call you be big trouble” I have done the best I can repeating this verbatim. I got into an argument with the guy as I was pissed off on many levels. One; He knew my phone number, and email. At this point I’m thinking it cannot be legitimate, but I decided to call the hotline number anyway (619) 342-0094 just to make sure; these days nobody speaks proper English when it comes to customer service, banks or anything else so I just couldn’t be sure.

I proceed to call the hotline number, again (619) 342-0094; another man answers the phone with even worse English. He asks my name, I tell him I will not give him my name or any other information. He asks me if I’m calling from 619.xxx.xxxx, I tell him it’s none of his business and proceed to grill him about the previous call and try to inquire about his name and what company he is representing. All he will tell me is that his name is Shaine? and that the company is “Legal Affidavit Services”. I am VERY suspicious at this point, but he then proceeds to confirm my social security number, my bank account number, and my email address and reconfirms my phone number. He tells me to hold, because he has to read me an “affidavit” and that I’m being sued for a default on a cash loan from US Bank. He then reads off a very legal sounding document about a defaulted loan and the fines and penalties I have incurred. He states they have sent several emails and I have not responded. He gets very aggressive as I am not cooperating and being very aggressive myself. At this point I am super pissed. I KNOW this is a scam, yet they have my info. I have received loans in the past, and though not recent there is still that fear I had initially.

He basically tells me that I can settle it now, or I will be sued and picked up by an “officer” at my home or work. I asked him if it was a police officer and he simply said “someone from my office” I told him they would get knocked out as I know at this point for sure it’s a scam.

I have called them back several times today at (619) 342-0094 to toy with them. They hang up on me every time.

I reported them to the states attorney office in CA, but unfortunately they said there is nothing they can do because it’s out of country and out of their jurisdiction. The state attorney office said they were glad I didn’t fall for it, but 3rd parties were entitled to get my personal information under the “freedom of information act” and that I should write my congressman. I decided to write my blog first. I am severely pissed about this whole episode…

wow i just got the worst voicemail ever! so i called the number back sure enough it was either eric williams or a steve johnson both sounded arabic.. they threatened me and said if i didnt pay them back 1300.00 i would be arrested tomorrow at 11:00 a.m made me very upset.. i was trying to make arrangments about what i was going to do for work and what would happen.. then i came on here because something just wasnt making sense and see the first thing that popped up when i googled the number was this site! i hope to god this site is true!!! please someone reply to me?!
