I got a this call today and an Indian guy left me a voicemail. So I called the number back and a very mean Indian lady answered the phone. I told her I had no idea what she was talking about! I am so pissed off about it! I don't understand why she didn't have any information that I wanted! I asked to speak to a manager and she couldn't give me one! He eventually just hung up on me! Err I just tried calling back 2 different times and it didn't even ring! It said I am sorry this mail box is full! ERR! I am so irritated by it! The number was: 951-489-0227.

    Typical fake "payday loan debt collection" phone extortion racket.

    Callers are usually from overseas, often India or Pakistan.

    Report to the FBI, and ignore their threats.

    Just received the same call from an Indian guy, informing me that I have taken out a "Pay Day" loan. What is that!!! He said to meet them on at the court building the next morning...it was a Friday. WTF I am so irritated by this scam. Do they really think they will threaten people into making a payment, they don not owe?? They couldn't give me my address, social, dob. I am on a mission to stop this non-sense!!!

    Court Halts Alleged Fake Debt Collector Calls from India, Grants FTC Request to Stop Defendants Who Often Posed as Law Enforcement
    At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, a U.S. district court has halted an operation that the FTC alleges collected phantom payday loan “debts” that consumers did not owe.  Consumers received millions of collection calls from India, and that since January 2010 the operation took in more than $5 million from victims, according to the FTC.
