i was contactd by a company that claims to be trying to collect a debt from a loan place that i took out over the internet two years ago. since then i have lost contact with that company i did get the loan from with moving and my number being changed. nRecently this debt collect called my job and threaten to pursue a court summons so when i called this company the company did not even have my current addres from when i took out the loan they say that they want 425 dollars to remove my file from me being served so at first i was all for just taking care of my debt to avoid any legal issues. BUt then when i contacted this company back to let them know i wouldnt have the funds avaliable on the date that would be trying to withdraw i got the run around a direct to a whole company. So my question is does this sound like fraud? i tried to look up both companies nt comes up and i tried looking up the numbers they have called me from also and cant find. i am all fro taking care of my debt but only to the company i owe not to some bogus company trying to scam me. Also i want to know if i should ask them to send me something in mail that is stating what they are asking to see if they are legit because i just have feeling that they are trying to scam me

Seems to be a liar & Scam Artist. Guy said his name was Curtis Reeves. Asked him for his physical address and he refused. Asked him for something in writing to establish his claim that I owed money to a payday loan company and he refused. Told him to stop calling. These people call your relatives, supervisors etc. trying to place fear on you and they are scum. Here is the link that describes what they do:

New Variation on Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans


The IC3 continues to receive complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. As previously reported in the IC3 Alert posted December 1, 2010, the typical payday loan scam involves a caller who claims the victim is delinquent on a payday loan and must make payment to avoid legal consequences. Callers pose as representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies, and claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, or other Internet check-cashing services. The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim's home, cell phone, and place of employment in attempts to obtain payment. The callers refuse to provide information regarding the alleged payday loan, provide any documentation, and become abusive when questioned.

The IC3 has recently observed a variation of this scam in which the caller tells the victim there are outstanding warrants for their arrest for non-payment and hacking into a named business with the intent of obtaining customer information. During the perpetration of this crime, the caller demands payment via debit/credit card; in other cases, the caller further instructs victims to obtain a prepaid card to cover the payment.

The high-pressure collection tactics used by the fraudsters have also evolved. In one recent complaint, a person posing as a process server actually made a personal appearance at the victim's place of employment. In another instance a fake process server came to victim's home. In both cases, after claiming to be serving the victim with a court summons, the alleged process server indicated the victim could avoid going to court if the victim provided a debit card number for repayment of the loan.

If you are contacted by someone who is trying to collect a debt that you do not owe, you should:
•Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
•Contact your bank(s) and credit card companies;
•Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
•If you have received a legitimate loan and want to verify that you do not have any outstanding obligation, contact the loan company directly;
•File a complaint at www.IC3.gov

I also received a call / message from this exact number, ext. 142 asking for my brother. He didn't leave his name or company name or reason for call. It seemed weird to me. I did the reverse number look-up and found this site. Thank goodness!!! SCAM CENTRAL!!!
