Received call today said that my nephew (whom he named) was being sued, gave a case number and a phone number for me to call, when I called they said that case number was for another person (whom they named). My nephew told me it was probably a scam, and he was right.

Got a call from someone claiming to be a process server, they gave me this phone number and a case number. I tried calling, the first 2 calls phone company said not in service,tried again just for laughs and someone answered. It was about a credit card that I haven't had in 11 years and was charged off 10 years ago. To top it off they tried talking smack, it is a scam.

I got the same call and the credit card was from 1999 but I'm nervous. Can you call someone to find out if they are attempting to file a case?

This is a scam do not fall for it Google it  use common sense they are useing a spoof number looking for victims. Hang up and try to call back and call the cops I hope nobody falls for this scam.

Scam this is  they will scam you out your money. Ask anybody about these scams

These people called my son at his place of employment asking for  personal information about me and my phone number. My son of course did not give out personal data

I got a call from this number saying I owe 5k on a card that was charged off and I had no contact with them in over 10 yrs! They are going to garnish my wages!! They had the last four of my SSI and the address that was 10 yrs old. i TOLD THEM GOOD LUCK!

Wait. I mean, YES, yes it most definitely is a scam!

I guess you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy also?  Because your criminal enterprise is simply not real and there is no way for you to prove it.

Amazing how you post a happy on the complaint website!!  Another shill who fails to give us company information - why is that???

Jack, we are all well aware that you are another scammer, working the scam and attempting a last ditch effort to save your criminal extortion scam..
BUSTED.

If these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

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.

Well if by "real deal" you mean FDCPA-violating criminals, then, yeah, sure.

I got a garnishment order from my employer!! I called them and said it was too late :(

My mother, who I haven't lived with in decades, got a call from  1-866-295-1560. They claimed they were trying to reach me regarding a legal case# (I will check on a business day to see if it's legit).  From the stories I see on this and other websites, it sounds like a scam, with the scammers calling friends, relatives, neighbors on CELL phone #'s. I wonder if anyone else on this call list was hit in the government database ID theft, where all our background check info (including neighbors cell#'s) was stolen??  That could explain why they have all these various phone#'s.

You are a Liar & a Shill "James". People don't get a "garnishment order from my employer". Garnishment is ordered by the court, after a judgement has been awarded. Meaning that if you haven't been legally served & appeared in court, or ignored the summons, you can NOT be garnished for a debt unless that debt pertains to taxation, child support or previous judgements/liens.
That wasn't even a good try "James". Then again, I often make the comment that none of you bogus/fraudulent debt collection stooges are ever hired for your intelligence. You're just another example that further proves my assertion.
Skeff Ett Liv!
