Rebecca - Fraud Department for a payday loan. I don't have any of those type of loans at all. Was extremely rude and was trying to tell me that I was going to be served papers. Get a grip lady!

Just received this call from Rebecca Outlaw from the fraud department.  That's all the voice mail message said.  She spoke very loud and aggressively.  I'm scared.

I just got same message lol

Exact same - Rebecca in the Fraud Division - "you have a case opened against you, I need to hear from you or your attorney of record TODAY!!!"  - um.. yeah. I'll get right on that lady...

Called and left multiple voice messages. Tried calling back numerous times always got voicemail box full. Finally got to speak to a man who said it was for a felony fraud case. Gave me info about GE Money Bank and some other bank saying that I took out a cash advance or payday loan. Told her I received a call. She knew my name and the last 4 of my social. Told me that I had a payday loan cash advance. When I told her that I did not have any of this and I spoke to the gentleman earlier she said they were going to forward A warrant - Onslow County where I live and a judge would sign off on it and I would be arrested tomorrow have to pay a cash bond and fight it out in court. Then she hung up on me. Spoke to law enforcement in the area and making a report. I want this$&%%&& prosecuted

This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
