DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. This is a scam and they are very persistent.
This is a scam. They use threats to con people out of money that you may or may not owe. They tend to change their MO. Sometimes it's about payday loans or debts. About a year ago they were calling people telling them they were in a criminal suit and had a restraining order issued on them. This needs to stop. If they call, question them about their company. Record the conversations if you can and tell them they are being recorded. Tell them you are reporting them to the FTC, BBB, police, attorney general, FBI...and do it. The more complaints, the better chance we have of catching these morons. Here is some information that may help you:
* They call from various 877, 866, 800 numbers and U.S numbers in various states. Sometimes the number will come in as 000-000-0000.
* They may or may not have a middle eastern accent. They recently caught on that people weren't buying that someone named John Smith has a middle eastern accent, so they do have American accented people doing this now.
* They will use phrases such as: Breach of contract, fraud, defrauding a financial institution, Internet fraud, payday loan fraud, etc.
* They will threaten that you will receive one or all of the following: court summons, failure to appear, email from the company, etc.
* They will threaten you with: jail time, losing your job, notifying your employer/family or both, coming to your house at night, physically hurting you and I have even found threads where the male callers have threatened females with coming over to rape them.
* They use very common last names such as: Cooper, Anderson, Smith, Taylor, Logan, etc. Usually common first names too.
* They will not give you any information about the company. They will tell you it's private
Whatever you do DO NOT GIVE THESE SCUMBAGS ANY INFORMATION. Do not verify any of your information. Tell them they are a scam and law enforcement is working on tracking them down. Tell them you are recording them. Call them back and question them. Be sure to protect your credit because they have most of your personal information. Put a fraud alert on your credit file with all three credit bureaus. Report them to as many agencies as you can. And if you have ANY helpful information to add to this that will help catch these fools, please add it to this site. I am furious and ready to take these people down.
