Payday loan collector

Never took out a payday loan threantening to sue me for money and have me served with papers here's a new number 18666785019

Same thing with me.. Guy's identified his name as Mr. Jennings and said he was working with my county in a check fraud case against me for a payday loan I never even got.  I applied for it, but it was rejected, and they got all my information including my social off of the online app.  Phone number was 202-618-4120

He just called me too..wtf is this all about..is this a fraud??

Its fraud.  The caller is trying to make you pay back a loan you never got.  He's probably outside the US, outside the reach of US law enforcement.  The phone number he used is spoofed.

Omg. Same thing here. I applied for a online loan but never finished the application. Now hes callimg me and saying he is going to have me arrested and i need to get me a good attorney. Or just pay 4000 dollars.WTF.

TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER:  I have a hard time believing that the original poster was served with papers.  What papers?  Did someone show up with a demand letter?  Those aren't papers.  A demand letter is the first thing that you're supposed to get from these scum bags.  The 'papers' that you've implied that you were served with should be a call to court, otherwise known as a summons or a subpoena.  Did you really get served with a subpoena?

Take a close look at your 'papers.'  Is it a summons?  Is it time stamped?  Has a judge signed it?  Or is it simply a letter summing up - with no proof - what someone wants you to pay them?

Sorry dude, but I think you're just another one of *those.*

The original poster said the caller is threatening to serve them with papers.  As I read it the papers have not yet been served.  I think the threat is part of the scam.

None of the remarks in this thread to date strike me as coming from shills. They tend to describe the common mechanics of the bogus hot check/PDL collectors but do not make the usual shill claims of "it's too late for us, pay the thugs and save yourselves". Your litigant checklist, minus the misfired accusations, would be appropriate for someone who might be bamboozled by these criminals. That said, the OP's comment was poorly composed and bound to be misread by someone.

Why am I not surprised that NotMichael and Resident47 object?  A little common cause?  Professional courtesy, perhaps?  Honor amongst thieves?

The topic is still listed in the fakers forum:

Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Consumer,

You need to go back and re-read the entire thread carefully.  I believe you misread the original post, and that has skewed your understanding of everything in the thread.  The OP stated that he was being threatened with service, not that he had been served.  In other words, the standard bullying process from the PDL crowd.  

Press CTL-ALT-DEL and start over.

NOT a shill.

i have also been an target of this scam; they somehow get your information from a loan application that never actualized, and repeatedly call posing as attorneys or process servers trying to serve you legal papers, and they lean on you to "settle" for a debt you don't even owe!  given that they appear to know where i work and live, an actual process server would have delivered these alleged papers by now; i know enough about the legal system to know that at minimum, were this legit, a certified letter would have been sent. when i questioned why they hadn't sent one they said it was "not their practice" -  it is a clever but total scam.

i've been advised by my local consumer affairs bureau to give them no information whatsoever and to ask only for a mailing address for them, which they usually refuse to give out - at which point you can confidentally tell them you know you are being scammed, and you will report them to the appropriate agency - i found that stopped the calls. then, when i actually found an address for a company that had gone so far as to contact my HR department  by fax for a release of my payroll records (which HR denied, as I had not authorized it), i used that address to file a formal complaint.  the consumer protection agency said that when they sent a cease and desist letter to that address, it was returned as un-deliverable.  Surprise surprise. Please don't let these jerks intimidate you!

as they are all designed to CAPTURE the data you enter - even if you never submit them and back out

Now now guys/gals or all those in-between, lets not get into a spat over reading inference and semantics. Let's pull things together screen code names: Consumer, not Michael, Resident47, and Lone stranger. The real problem here is a potential scam being used to con people out of money using fear and intimidation. This thread provides the opportunity to spread the word to potential victims of this fraud.

Just yesterday, July 11, 2012, I received a phone call from a restricted/unknown number and was left a voicemail by Crystal Wilson who was trying to contact my mother on an urgent matter concerning " complaint that has be requested against her." She gave me a call back number, 877-997-4825, but never mentioned what company she represented. After calling the number back after hours and doing some interweb research, I come across this website that has all but convinced me that my mother and I were almost victims of a con job.

I have made posts on the thread and subsequent threads as I collect numbers from voicemail attempts by this company whose called themselves FAS Legal Department on their voicemail. If you reading this post, you can search the phone number and track my posts for further information.

When my father died in 2006, my family was in a pretty bad financial situation and our house was repossessed and we were evicted. I had special arrangements made at my college to stay in their dormitories during holidays and summers as a result, but my sister and mother had to sleep on relative's couches till we could save up money to get back on our feet. The idea that this group is using threats and scare tactics to con people into giving up money out of fear of legal recourse similar to what I have been through bothers me deeply and I would appreciate all the help I can get in spreading the word. You all will have to forgive the dramatics, but this wall-crawler is sounding the call for the AVENGERS to ASSEMBLE. Maybe we can't stop this company from taking advantage of people, but we can warn others and look into legal recourse for victims.

Don't confuse an effort to get things right with a "spat" as you put it. Personally, I was simply pointing out a fact that Consumer had (understandably) missed. I almost missed it myself. The original post was poorly written, and easily misread. No big deal. We all have our "moments", both reading and writing posts. Perhaps Consumer was being a little sharp tongued with the rest of the gang, and strangely paranoid about regular contributors, but so what? This is the Interwebz, you know.

Could it be that you are trying to foment fractiousness among us where little to none exists? (The ambiguous gender sleight was not exactly oil on troubled waters.)

FYI - We have these little in thread tête-à-tête discussions from time to time, and we still manage to continue to accomplish the task at hand. In fact, among a sea of people trying to claim their lottery winnings, or asking us to stop calling them, usually no one notices or cares. Singling these boredom and frustration inspired indulgences out, and making much ado about nothing, is never a good idea on any site.

BTW, thanks for explaining to us why we are here. Those of us who have spent years on this site working to help people (pretty much everybody in your little "indictment") had no idea.

As for your TLDR homily, replete with familial close calls and topped off with an all-caps exhortation worthy of a Stan Lee graphic, how does that contribute to getting the thread back on topic? Were we supposed to be so galvanized by your noble cause and tragic motivation that we would, slack jawed with both awe and shame, hammer our water pistols into plowshares? (Mine just broke when I hit it.)

"Avengers Assemble"? "Wall Crawler"? Really, Spider Man? Forgive the "web slinging", but honestly, the Fantastic Four (tongue firmly in cheek) can get by just fine without your sage advice.

Now, whose turn is it to be Invisible Girl?

At first I was frustrated at these fraudulent callers. When you feel frustrated you feel helpless, but you don't have to answer them. That's when you are one in control. You control which numbers to answer or not. I just hate the fact that these callers are hiding somewhere from the hands of law enforcement. Some of them even ripped vulnerable people off. I can understand your feelings. Getting calls from criminals during a tough time is like rubbing salt in a wound. But you don't have to worry cause, like I said, you control the callers. They don't control you. They'll ring over and over with various numbers real and spoofed, but they are helpless when you ignore their calls. This is what everyone should do instead of getting frustrated, sad or defenseless. I am not that good with all the legal stuff, but giving their numbers to the FTC, FCC etc would be a good idea. If you know who or which group is doing this to you, you can take legal action as well.
