Is this number a scam

Talking about taking legal action.  This is a scam

Said I owed a payday loan. I don’t have a payday loan. Talked about legal action and hung up on me

Left a msg, legal matter to execute a warrant

This number has called many times, says it is a legal matter and they are going to process against me.  Pressed 1 for a direct connect and nothing.  They are a SCAM

No need to over inflate the thread to look like more calls than actually happened.

Listen to message

The vague scare tactic message is designed to panic a victim into calling back.

Most debt collectors will use a certain amount of pressure to convince you to pay the debt. After all, they often don't get paid unless you pay. Be suspicious of a debt collector who uses an unusual amount of pressure to get you to pay immediately, particularly if they also use scare tactics to get you to pay right away. For example, a debt collector is scamming you if it :

• threatens you with a lawsuit and tells that you can avoid the lawsuit by paying right away
• Says a Process Server  or Courier is coming with papers to sign
• Threatens to call / go to your place of employment
• Insists you have been notified, served or are non-compliant via phone message(s)
• Refuses to give a company name or verifiable Contact source
• Refuses to send proof of debt via US mail

A sure sign of a debt collection scam is a collector that wants to you to pay via wire transfer or another method that can't be traced. If the payment method can't be traced, you'll have a harder time getting the authorities involved.

If the creditor sounds completely foreign, or you know you never had an account with that business, there's a chance it's a scam. Never pay a collection you don't recognize. You have the right to request written proof of the debt from the debt collector before you send payment.

This Number has called 3 times a day to collect on old debts I don't own on.

Calls several times a week saying to call concerning a debt and it's a time sensitive matter.  I monitor my credit and it routinely goes up. I don't owe any debts,lol . This is a scam. Just another bottom feeder looking to take advantage of people.   Just block their number and let them waste their time

pressed 1 to connect, endless ringing... dialed the 844 #, endless bad music.
total scam.

called from 641+435-5414 and said to call  844-441-1123  did and got a message I owed a pay day loan to EZcash... I've had a couple of loans in the past but none ever to EZloans as they aren't allowed to loan in Iowa... told him no go and asked for documents ... kept runnin me around so I told him buzz off as I knew this number(s) were both on the FBI scam list and he said they'd sent me  a letter 3 months ago... I called him out as a LIAR and said no way were they legit... hung up...
