312-962-5282

told me they were from an investigative unit of the federal govt.  i had payday loans that were defaulted on by paid over a year ago and they are now telling me that i am being charged with 3 federal crimes

they called me from area codes 315, 312, and 813 all in the same day.  The kicker, I didn't and never have had a payday loan.  They threatened me, my mother, as well as my friend.  How they got all this information is beyond me.

the sad part is I fell for one of these last month and paid the money. Not sure if I can get that back.  I contact the BBB & FTC today

thay didnot call me thay called my mother and sister and said that thay were garanteers of a payday loan i had defolted on the only thing is there is no cosighners on a payday loan this guy herry mckay that has a american name but cant speek enghish good at all thrightend my mother and sister that thay will be picked up if i did not get in contact with him this the second time this has pappend differant name and phone#

sence it is agenst the law for collection agencys to threghtion you it would be safe to say thay are a froud

Lets see...

SINCE it is AGAINST the law for collectiong AGENCIES to THREATEN you it would be safe to say THEY are a FRAUD.

Spell check, honey.

THEY DID NOT call me, THEY called my mother and sister and said that THEY were [I'm not even going to try] of a payday loan I had DEFAULTED on, the only thing is there ARE no co-SIGNERS on the payday loan. This guy, HARRY McKay, that has AN American name, but cant SPEAK ENGLISH WELL at all THREATENED my mother and sister that THEY will be picked up i I did not get in contact with him. This is the second time this has HAPPENED. DIFFERENT name and phone number.

Spell. Check.

they have called me as well. they say i have apyday loan which I have never taken out. they had all my infor even my checking acct number and routing numer. they threatned me as my husband and my family. what kind of place is this

They just called me and told me i had a claim aginst me for a payday loan I had done. I don't know how to stop the call but I did not do any  payday loan this is the second time this has happen to me about someone calling me with a compnay like this.

oh no!

said i owed money and they had all my personal information.

their call me to say i own money i hangup their call back about 5 times so i blocktheir number

They called multiple times starting at 6 am stating I had defaulted on a loan from 12/07 and gave me a company name of Bahama Investment Group...very threatening.  I asked for their registration # with Oregon, I was put on hold and then the was disconnected.  
They phoned back, threatening telling me I should get an attorney, etc.  I work in a law office, and knew my rights and asked for every bit of information and communication to be put in writing and mailed to me at the address they had on file.  I did not confirm or deny any of the information and it has been 2 weeks since last call.  
DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFO.  Ask for the registration # for your state, in order to collect on debt they have to be locally registered and ask for everything to be sent via mail, not EMAIL, this is not valid information.

has anyone been successful with getting them to stop calling.

Get your telephone provider to request a DNC on your behalf. Documented. Fines.

This place called me at my place of business saying I was listed as guarantor for a payday loan for a girl I have not spoken to in over 3 years...I told them I did no such thing and to stop harrasing me at work. Then theythreatened me with "picking me up at my place of business"; however I work in the business and asked for a supervisor; I became irate and told them they better stop calling or I will send the authorities after them, then he hung up. Both male; sounded like they were from India. I did a look up of this phone number and it is a landline in Chicago, IL with no name attached located on N. Lasalle St.

Thanks for the info. I just reported them to the FTC and placed my personal numbers on the do not call registry. I am also going to place a fraud alert on my credit report. You can never be too careful.

Called me today on my cell and at work. Left some crazy message about owing for a loan, etc. I called back and they kept hanging up on me. They would not provide any information at all.

I received a phone call at my home from a foreigner saying that I needed to have my Attorney or myself contact him very soon or I will be in trouble. He said that his name was Eric Smith and I needed to call: 1-312-962-5282 ext. 1077 immediately or I will be in trouble.

They used to call me on my job until I put one of our Investigators on the phone on my behalf and they don't call here anymore.
