Got a call, "Michelle" stated she was a process server trying to track down one of my employees. She had a case number and stated she didn't want him to miss his court date. Intimidation factor, in my opinion. Most likely just another debt collector trying to sound official and scary in order to get the guy to call her back. These clowns will try ANYTHING.

I was called today and Iwas threatened that I was going to be brought up on Fraud charges for my unability to pay back a payday loan. I spoke with two repersenitives whom stated that they can set up a payment plan of only $200.00 a month, but it has to be with a bank or debit card to prevent me from being summoned to court on breach of contract and fraud charges. I do not want to give them any information due to I do not know if they are ligit and legal. How will I know?

They are frauds. Scam artists. No one can be brought up on "fraud" charges (or any other criminal charges) for not paying back a loan because loan repayment is a civil matter, not a criminal offense.

Here's the FBI page about this scam: http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710

Hello. A company called Creitors called my job yesterday telling my boss they were from the legal department and that if they did not get in contact with me they would come to my job and serve me with court papers. She would not give them any information but called me and gave me their number. I tried researching this company last night and nothing came up! I called and left a message. When they called this morning the number showed up Unknown. When I spoke to the representative they said i owed money and i would be served with papers for fraud if I did not settle the debt now. I asked if they had an address or website and she said she did not understand what that had to do with anything. I persisted for the address and she gave me a PO Box address. Again when I tried to research the address nothing came up. She stated that since I did not wish to resolve the information today they would send someone to my job today to serve me with papers and that I would need to hire a criminal lawyer. I have no way of verifying wether this is a legit company.

Chantell, the same day you received your call from creditors an the events you described happen to you happen to me as well on the same day! The same way I insisted on a address as well an John Davis who I was talking to got very rude an upset with me. I know this is a scam I have never taken out a loan or have a bank account. Look on the FBI's website an report them please I have done the same!
