Fake payday loan collection scams - Please list new numbers here [2]

If they don't have have any accent, they are right here and you can deal with them by reporting them.

I just got a call from a Mrs.Drew saying I took a loan out back in 2006 and that I had to pay $1008.00 but when I ask her the account number for the bank this money was deposited she wouldn't tell me and just said that she was putting a warrant out for check fraud the number was (404)662-2643 she even went as far as to calling the main headquarters and gave them case number for me to give her a call.

Consumerpaydayloans sacam your right the number they gave 2026575855 he also gave the name john paul and steve harrison they are such scam artists stealing peoples money...

Let me guess, she had an accent right? She's full of crap just like the others in her boiler room.

No she didn't have accent she sounded american I just called the number back but I *67 my number when she answered she said this is investigation I just hung the phone up

Most probably she works for a local boiler room or works for a boiler room that has links to outsourced scam. I think it's more of the former than the latter. There are fake debt collectors here that poses as investigators and cops. I called one of their boiler rooms, and the wimps in there started acting paranoid. Most probably ex convicts or some new frauds set up just to rip people off. Just report them and block them.

hi I recived a call from 855-835-8721 on 11-28-2012 at my work place, the caller said his name was martin riley and he was a process server and that I needed to call this number back with an affidavit number that he left in the message..well I in turn call the number back and spoke to a mike wolf, now I believe they have my social security number cause he called off the last 4 digits on it, he also wanted me to set up payment arrangments for some so called payday loan place that he couldn't even give me the specific name for. He also said that if I set up the payment arrangements that they would not take me to court, and the law firm he said he was from was Luchey & Assosciates... I called back today to see if I would get the same mike wolf and i did and I asked him if I could have some legal docs. about this so called payday loan since he claimed that their firm is representing this payday loan place, but he wouldn't even give me the direct number to the payday loan place or the exact amount that I so called borrowed. He sounded like he had an attitude with me for asking so many questions, so I believe they could possible be some kind of scam as well.

Dont do it. He'll just get u into trouble. My girlfriend and i have gotten scamed into buy a dog off the internet and come to find out it was a scam. I stopped paying them and called the state attorney the ftc and did a complaint with the fbi.

I just received a call from these idiots.  How do I get this to stop?  This is ridiculous....

347-441-5585
409-539-7464

I am a victum this scam. I went to pay for my cash loan with mycashnow. I thought it was them, so i paid them using my debit card. Then several months later someone claiming they are with mycashnow claims I never paid them. They called from a private number first claiming they are a processing center and didn't know why i had to call this other number but it was concerning possibly getting served paper and  then they sent me to a different number. when I called it some one threatened to serve me, freeze my bank account...ect if I didn't pay 200.00 to them. The number is 1877 406 8257 with the woman with threatens and accusations.  She even claimed to be getting off the phone and talking to an attorney about the case. I told her i already paid. She claimed who I paid must of been a company name peachtree and they ripped mycashnow off. I told her, if they did then they got to take it up with them cause they hired them to get there money.  They can't expect people to pay again and wait til after they go to court to give them their money back. She said, this is federal issue and the federal government is involved because I'm being sued for check fraud. I never wrote checks out.  She claimed they sent me letters in the mail, called several time and then decided to file two charges against me. They never wrote me anything in the mail. They claimed they filed two charge 1. Not paying,  2. check fraud. She told me if I do not pay them by tomorrow and send them a copy of my bank statement showing I paid this other company who claimed it was them, then they are serving me court papers. I believe I'm actually being scammed by the same company. They they are acting as if they did not get the money. I told her at this point I will taking legal actions and will speak to an attorney. She hung up right away.  I will be requesting a copy of my bank statement so I can see what never they used. I will also be contacting all the peachtree loan settlment companies to inform them of fake mycashnow accusations. Who do contact to file an complaint of fraud and scam. They have are trying to have me pay twice. The number is 1 877 406 8257 of the people who called to day with these threatens and accusations.

Got a new one:

866-276-8306

These idiots wound up using an already blacklisted number on the call log for the service I use.

Greatful for Google Voice and like services!

sorry guys I posted the wrong number. please ignore the number in the last post.  the number was 18663982274 what is strange is that someone picked up when I called the number right after they gave it to me but when I called back an hour later, I just got there answer service and couldn't move forward unless I put in my social security card. So i know they are a scam. They must have  been waiting for my call for the next hour and have a system that tracks so they knew to pick right up but when I tried to actually call the company with the same number, i just get a request to put my social security number in and to either set up a new account or log into. I will be informing the FBI of a payday loan ripping me off of 200.00 claiming they are mycashnow. I will get the info from my bank statement. I'm really upset by this and can't believe this happened to me. Also I notice they don't even allow you to contact them by e-mail or have any direct support line.

I received a call last night from 214-613-0845 and they sounded either from another country or computer message with a very Anglo name of Jeff Brown

Just as an FYI, everyone, I have attempted something that you might find interesting:

I have been reading through these posts almost daily for over a year now.  This whole scam irritated me in a unique way for some reason, and I have been hell-bent to try anything and everything I can to help stop anyone else being a victim or give them any more funding for whatever ilicit purposes they are involved in.

I have chosen numbers from random posts on this forum from other people.  Keep in mind that none of these numbers had ever contacted me!  I called back and started asking questions, acted a little bit worried and when they asked my name, I gave them a fake one (said I was Chuck U. Farley, which the humor was completely lost on them).  I would then hang up.  LITERALLY WITHIN 30 MINUTES I started receiving calls for Chuck U. Farley about a warrant for my arrest, a huge bill for a payday loan that wasn't paid, check fraud charges, etc.  Chuck U. Farley doesn't even exist, the name was an invention of my imagination, but they sucked onto it like leaches thinking it was yet another person they could scam out of money.  As soon as they had a phone number & name, a bad debt of outrageous porportions "magically appeared".

On that note, I agree that we seem to be getting nowhere with assistance from our own government.  I have filed complaints with every branch I can think of (& some new ones I found online).  There has been no response, action or resolution.  I have resolved to just keep trying to help as many as I can from sending their hard earned money, and for myself start seeing the humorous side of it all.  Here is a previous post I listed.  It may give you some good ideas on how to deal with them, but at the very least it should add a little humor to your day:

"Here's some more ideas to add in there:

They have started in with a new number now (612-235-6132), so the game begins again!  This time when the guy identified himself as an "officer", I told him he has called a crime scene and I started interrogating him.  He hung up after some stuttering and stammering.  Anyone who did not see my last post, here it is again with some more creative ideas on how to deal with these idiots:

"OK, first off, everyone CALM DOWN and don’t freak out about these guys.  No matter what they say or what they threaten, they CAN’T do anything to you.  I know every one of us has tried filing reports with law enforcement, FTC, FBI, ic3, etc.  It doesn’t seem to work, because these guys aren’t even in the USA.  So take a deep breath, relax and don’t let them ruffle your feathers.

Now, I started getting these calls about a year ago.  I have personally used all of the tactics below, and they do stop calling me for about 6 months…so the way I figure it, a little time out of my day to give them back a taste of their own medicine is worth it for 6 months of peace and quiet.  Keep in mind, as well, every minute you spend screwing with them on the phone is a minute they are NOT able to scam someone else.  (And the only way they will ever stop is if nobody pays them any money ever again!)  And now for the fun part—how to screw with them back.  I will start with the easiest and move up the line with the more time consuming:

If you have no time to mess with them:
a.    Just don’t pick up the line.  Let it go to voicemail and delete the message.
b.    Pick up the line and immediately hang up.  Keep doing it until they stop.
c.    Pick up the line and use an air horn or police whistle blown straight into the mouthpiece of the phone.  (I personally like the canned airhorn the best.)
d.    If they call while you are driving, turn the radio up as loud as possible and answer the line on speakerphone.  Don’t say anything, just let them listen to the blasting music.  Heavy metal music works best, but I personally have a CD with Star Spangled Banner on it, so I play that as loud as I can.  Just leave the line open with the music blasting until they hang up.

If you have a little more time to mess with them:
a.    Ask if they are related to the deceased (insert your name here as the “deceased”) or just a family friend, because “the viewing of the body if for family only, but the memorial service is open to everyone.”  Ask if they would like directions to the funeral.
b.    Simply tell them that you have read all about their scam on the internet & seen it on the news on TV, so you aren’t paying anything.  Don’t listen to any response, just hang up on them after saying this.
c.    Use this one only if you are willing to be as crude as they are:  Using the name they gave you (i.e., “Officer Mike Taylor” was the last one I got), say, “Is the this THE Officer Mike Taylor I read about on the internet?  Is it true what the posts online say, that you have such a small d**k that even camels won’t have sex with you?”  Then hang up on them.
d.    (For this one, I must first apologize to PETA and all vegans, but it highly offends the scammers because they consider cows to be divine beings.)  Tell them you don’t have time to speak with them, because you work at a slaughter house and you have over 100 cattle you need to “kill off” before the end off the day.  Then hang up on them.
e.    Are you good with theatrics?  Then try this one…it was actually highly effective for me:  Put on your deepest, scariest, growliest voice and just whisper into the phone over and over, “I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you…”.  Just keep whispering it over and over until they hang up.  I think this one worked well because they are quite superstitious.
f.    If you know a foreign language, answer the phone in it and just keep talking in unintelligible phrases.  The more obscure the language, the better.  Don’t know a foreign language?  Pig Latin seems to work just as effectively.
g.    Ask if they are calling from the convenience store, and can they give you last night’s winning lottery numbers, because you are sure you have won.  For any response they give to it, just keep yelling over and over, “I won! I won!”
h.    When you answer the phone, ask them where your pizza is and tell them because they didn’t get it to you in the “30 minutes”, you’re not paying for it.  Hang up.
i.    Tell them you are at work right now, but to call you back on your “home” phone, and give them this number: 202-835-0778.  (This is the scam and fraud reporting division number at the FBI.)  Hang up.

If you are REALLY p***ed off, and have plenty of time to screw with them:

a.    Go on to Craig’s List and post an ad in the wanted section or services section  saying you are looking for a payday loan company because you need a loan.  Ask they call you right away.  List the scammer’s name and phone number as the contact information.  (This sends the scum-sucking bottom feeders off to call the other scum sucking bottom feeders…LOL)
b.    Go online and look for every free daily horoscope, free insurance quote, free mortgage lending, etc., and click on the “have an agent contact me” link.  Type in the scammer’s name and phone number.  Viola!  Now they will get flooded with telemarketers as well.
c.    If you would like to blow off steam, and have no problem with swearing, just keep calling them over and over pretending you have Tourette’s Syndrome by just screaming obscenities in the phone until they hang up.  This works pretty good in the car, because no one else can hear you and it is a good tension reliever.
d.    Log onto these payday loan sites and enter all of the scammers’ information on it.  This way they might even wind up on their own list!
e.    (Do NOT attempt this one unless you have state of the art spyware & virus protection, and even then, you still are taking a risk):  Go into your spam folder on your computer.  Find every email you can about “you won millions of dollars” or “the Nigerian lottery” or something to that effect.  Send it back with all of the scammers’ contact information.
f.    Research for the phone numbers to both local and national TV news stations “breaking news desk”.  Again, tell the scammer on the phone to call you at your “work number” and give the number to the news station’s phone number.  (Hopefully, if the news stations get enough of these calls, they will start airing more stories about it, reaching more people and reduce the number of victims that fall for this.)

Again, before sending money to ANYONE, stop. Think.  Do you have any paperwork showing you owe money?  If not, ask for paperwork.  If they refuse to send it, they are scammers.  A real collection agency will always: 1. provide paperwork; 2. never yell or cuss at you; 3. never require you to pay first before receiving paperwork; 4. never identify themselves as an officer of law enforcement; 5. never threaten you with jail, arrest or physical harm.

Great post.. Love it.. you did what I have been thinking about doing... you are right if we can "fight" back with some of these ways maybe just maybe they will stop calling us .. We just need to make sure we teach the people that just started to get these that thhey are a SCAM and simlpy that..
