Lauren Scott

I got this exact same phone call today! I first received a call from Lauren Scott *AT MY WORK*! Five minutes later she called my cell phone. She claims that I took out a loan in 2013 for $300 and that I can settle today for $690 or go to court and have to pay $2690. When I asked for more information, she just kept repeating that I took out this loan with Westgate and that they have my electronic signature so I owe this money. The REALLY scary part was - she had correct information on me (address, employer, etc). The only thing that wasn't correct was an old bank account (even that information was correct for the time that it was open). I told her I wasn't doing anything until I researched it. She told me I had to call back by 6pm today or they were pursuing legal action. My first couple of attempts to find anything online weren't very successful so I called back to see if I could find out anything else. She was, of course, on a conference call because she's that important. So, I talked to Eric Boise. He repeated all of the other information Lauren Scott had and told me that their legal department is part of Stark Recovery in Bakersfield, CA. When I told him that their name and phone # are listed as scams on several sites, he informed me that they'd pursue legal action and wished me "luck." These people are terrible!

Left voicemail from my mom indicated that my employer would be contacted and I will go to jail. They also spoke with my sister, who got their information. They said I did a payday loan online for $300, that is now $2690.00 and I can pay $690 today. They were super rude!

This is completely a scam. I purchased something on Facebook yesterday, which is how I believe they received the information. my mom and sister are listed as relatives with their #'s public on facebook. (I know better, SMH!)
