This number called me and said they were looking for me!! Sounds like a scam

Called saying they 'needed information on my whereabouts' and that they would call other people looking for me if I didn't call the office right away.  Thankfully I didn't answer the call and this information was left on my VM. I've received it a few times this week.

Called and had a shouting message that they would call numbers..then the women who had some information about me..said it was about a 350 payday loan. She then tried to talk about fraud..I explained Maine had strict laws on Payday loans..she disconnected scam

The caller called my job and my phone shouting stating they were tracking me for a debt I had 7 years ago.  I asked why it took them so long to call me if I owed them for a 300.00 online payday loan.  The caller stated they had been sending me emails and they kept returning. She told me she was not sure why they had not called all the numbers they had for me.  However, at this point they were moving forward with payment and providing with a back account number and place that was incorrect.  I listed and told her that's not how debt collection goes.  If you owe, you are not allowed to wait 7 yrs to pay.

The caller (RECORDED MESSAGE)  is a very loud voice requested info of a person unknown to me and even if I didn't know the person to call back.  I immediately hung up and didn't call.

Woman caller with a loud voice saying she 'needed information on my whereabouts' . I do not need anyybody who are not my friends to know my information. This is a big scam

just received message about needing someone's whereabouts. scam

Got the same recorded message. Woman yelling saying she needed information... I had a payday loan over 10 years ago, if that's what they're trying to do. Paid it. Total scam.

These people keep calling me and along for my whereabouts. I've put them on the reject call list but they still leave messages. Good thing I use this site to look up numbers AND that I have voice to text, so I don't hear them yelling...thanks all.

Asked about what payday loan I, owed they gave no information. Scam or no scam this is not how it works.

Very awful, loud, terrible sounding woman shouting about my whereabouts?! Obviously a scam because debt/bill collectors don't call leaving threating voicemails and trying to intimidate.

This lady is rude will not and no need to call back If anything owed they connect by mail & Nicer

Also received a similar voicemail today with the following verbiage;

"It is important that we speak to you regarding your whereabouts.  If we cannot verify this information through you the law allows us to contact all references on file.  Dial zero now to speak with a representative or call (877) 464-9948.  If you are unable to provide any information, please call the office regardless at (877) 464-9948.  Your immediate response is appreciated."

My parents and roommate received similar calls.  It's one thing to threaten me, but my friends and family?  I've contacted a lawyer.

They call family, friends, and neighbors to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.

This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

They called and left VM, same, screaming lady who was looking for my ex husband. We have been divorced 15+ years and he doesn't have my phone number let alone live in the same state as me. I have only had my number for the last 6 years, so it does sound like a desperate attempt at phishing.

Call me today as well looking for my ex-husbands new wife.. HAHA have a mind to call and give them driving directions to their place.
Didn't answer either, but i am sure it is the same screaming lady,

Number now disconnected.
