This company called all my relatives stating they were looking for me. I called this company and the girl stated BRG was a "Grantor" I asked what they were granting? She stated that she had to confirm who I was and "told me" the last 4 of my soc sec #. ( had she really wanted to verify who I was, she would have asked me for the last 4 not told them to me) she said she was collecting for an internet loan from 6-7 years ago. I stated I didn't know them! I don't know BRG! Send anything she had in writing. she stated she couldn't do that so I told her our conversation was being recorded and she was to stop calling immediately. That any and all correspondence from this point further will be in writing. She said "what ever you would like sir" I said Thank you and hung up. This is obviously a scam call and they try to scare you into playing their games. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!! Make them get a real job like we have.

Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.The fraudsters relentlessly call the victims home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims relatives, friends, and employers.
