Wow, I just got this same message today at work & on my cell, this is good info to know.
Thanks for posting this, I will definitely not call her back, she went by the name of Lori Bowman.

Second chance financial has been calling since Thursday stating Made a payday loan on the internet in January and I could pay Mary Stevens three hundred and one dollars immediately or they would garnish my wages. I asked for the payday loan name and she said she didn't have any information just google their internet number. Nothing came up. Monday morning the calls started again I told her she was a fraud and if not send me the paperwork she said no and stated she was facing the garnishment to my HR dept. I did not make a payday loan. These people are making me sick.

got the same phone call on 14 Apr 14, 18 Apr 14 and again this morning 18 Apr 14 from Mary Stevens talking about 301 dollars......what a scam.....very annoying too....I believe I will email the Aurora PD about this....

Just received a call from 630.692.3000 on my cell and my work phone.  I didn't answer the cell but I did my work phone.  A person stated they were transferring me to a supervisor to talk to me about my account.  I asked what account.  Mary Stephens got on the line and she needed to review my account and talk to me about what's going on here.  I asked what account.  She stated that I took out a payday loan in 2012 with Everest and I never paid it back, and now its $1400 or I could settle it for $601 or they will do a wage garnishment.  I stated you can't do one without a judgement from the courts.  She said they could do anything they wanted.  I told her that I will have my attorney call her back.  She asked if I was in a bankruptcy and I stated no, but I have a legal team that will handle this for me.  She stated that she will need a power of attorney letter faxed to her.  I said that I would need their address, phone number, etc.  Here's what she gave me and when you google Second Chance, they are a California based company.  Second Chance Financial, 121 S. Lincolnway, Aurora, IL  60542
PH:  800.478.5809 Ext. 223, Fax: 630.692.3019

so i just got a call from this same number  630-692-3000 asking for me to call kim jones @ 800-4785809 ext  244
even though i was the  one that answered the call I acted like it was not me but I wish she would have mentioned something of course I will not be calling her back

Just to let everyone know, I emailed the Aurora, Il Police with the number, names and address of this place and they said they would check it out......

Also got a call from them she said her name is amy anderson from second chance..said I owed a check loan from 6 momths ago. I told her that I don't have a check loan. She said its from city cash .. I contacted them and they had no info on me. I contacted second chance again and asked her to verify my info and she screamed at me and told me to quit harrassing her! Lol.... I told her since she's the one accusing me of owing them money I will call as many times as I want to!" I'm sick of scammers!!

I hope they do since I live in new mexico not much I can do from here..

OMG!!!  I am so scared!!!!!   NOT!!!  

You're not very convincing, shill!

Nice try.  You get an award for a fiction story!!!

Called our office looking for one of our employees. Caller ID said KIP and the phone number above. When pressed, the caller said her name was Kim Jones, and she was with Second Chance Financial.

I got a call from # 630-692-3000 the girls name is Kim Jones and she sounds white, wanted me to call her back at this 800 -478-5809 number, ext 244. I googled the 630 number and found a printing company, I googled the 800 number she left me and there was NOTHING.

They told me my license was going to be suspended and to call her to rectify the matter.

No company name was mentioned.

Good idea!  They should be hasseled the way they scam and hassle people

I received call yesterday from this company Mr Aaron Norwood 630-692-3000 ext 2236.  he began by stating i had a payday loan that had been charged off by a payday loan company for $766.22 back in Sept 2013 and he was willing to offer settlement if i would pay $260 by 4 pm.   so many red flags with this!   he stated they had already done "skip tracing" and were ready to start calling family members and also sending a verification of employment to my employer so they can start enforcing the wage adjustment.    I told his he was not correct.  He didn't have date when loan was taken out or any other details..kept saying his computer was running slow and when I asked if he could fax me this paperwork from his client he said they don't receive that and he will request it be sent to me via mail.  i have checked with my HR dept and they did receive a verification of employment request.  

bogus phone call as well.    OMG.... when I asked the questions.. and told them they were bogus.. they said I was sending them in circles, and they were busy and had phone calls to answer, I told them they were BS scammers and had best not call me BACK!!!!!   OH.. pisses me of so badly!

I received 2 calls back to back this morning stating that I was in braking state laws and a civil suit against me and even gave me a case & that I needed to call them back otherwise there would be a suspension against me otherwise.
Everywhere I looked up these two numbers 1-800-478-5809 & 1-630-692-300 ext 222 Amy Anderson and that they were a debt restoration company., everything shows SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  They did NOT say what the name of the company was at all.  DO NOT call them back anyone. I have fallen to this kind of scam once and will never call anything like this bak again ever.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I just got a call saying I took a loan out online. First off I've never taking a loan out online. He said i owe $354 that' s what I had direct deposited in my wells fargo account. I haven't had wells fargo in three years. So i took the mans name, number and ext. down. My lawyer is on it now. Messed with the wrong one to many times scammers. I'm tired of ya'll. How about getting a real job and make money the honest way.

I have received the same calls.  They are a complete scam.  I called the North Aroura Police dept the address 121 N. Lincoln Way is a strip mall with no tenant by the name of Second Chance Financial.   They also have a report in the system of an officer responding to this address for a possible internet fraud scam out of Pennsylvania.   Do NOT pay these scam artist any money.  They are not a real company just scammers.  I hope this helps out anyone in my same situation.  Also N. Aurora PD number is 630-897-8750 feel free to call and get the same information I just posted.
