calling me and sending me texts massges

Called asking for someone with the same last name-when I told him she wasn't related, he asked about my husband, called him by name-told him the same thing.  Then he asked about my son in Texas, when I asked him how he would know this lady he told me I was a liar.  I told him where to go and hung up on him.  Obviously a debt collector but a jerk.

Called asking for an unknown party. Had personal information about a member of the family. Fishing for social security numbers. Had personal address.  Creepy!

They say they are from Apex Recovery and is trying to collect on a check advance from a company called Vandeller! I didn't have a check advance with them!

do not believe this.b.s! he says his name is Donald Nelson an said i had a payday loan out from evergreen finacial an i owed 1400 dollars . an this was a felony theft lol ani was going to jail! he could not give me the phone numbers to anything antold Me i was going to court tomorrow? hmmm but I'm not served any kind of summons...he could not even give me the address to the court house, time i.was suppose to be in court or the room number haha such a.scam anyone who knows.anything knows they can't take you to jail over a civil matter!

not a debt collector he is a scam trying to get money over a pay day loan! he needs to learn laws of different states before he calls people!

my husband just had a call from this same person expect he called my husbands step mom and she called us.gave his stepmom all the info about the alleged account and all.husband called him back to see what it was all about DON stated we owed 1700.00 on a payday loan that was taken out in 2012which we never took one out then proceded to tell my husband he was suppose to be in court today for this and if he will pay him the money over the phone he would stop all actions.funny if he was suppose to be in court today what actions is there to stop.wouldnt state where he was calling from or even about the name of the lender of the loan.needless to say my husband said he was going to contact his lawyer and see what they say "don" said oh ok and hung up on my husband.sounds fishy

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.

Called my sister and my father when I didn't answer...which was the first time this number has ever come up on my phone so the a***ole essentially immediately starting calling my family right after leaving me a message not even allowing me time to call back. Says he's with Hemphill Portfolio Group, refused to tell me who he was representing unless I identified myself by giving him personal information such as a social security number, which is NOT happening. Then proceeded to say things like "grow up" and "I can see why you're in the position you're in" never telling me why he's even calling. Hung up on me three times when I insisted he tell me who he represents before I verify anything. Also stated he could do this all day because he's "getting paid a ton of money for this". Jerk. Scam. Nothing comes up on Google in regards to the business name or the Better Business Bureau. BEWARE!! I'll be reporting this one.

Note: it's a scam everyone!  Don't fall for their scare tactics they have no real court papers to serve you.tell them your too busy with their mother!

Payday scams. I'm having them investigated and this number will be shut down soon and owner and employees will be prosecured .

Your scammers are probably in Asia, or a country where scamming Americans isn't a big deal. Shut them down? How? Sorry, but it's a fact. Invest in call blocking. Shut off the money & you slow down the problem.
