HARASEMENT

Country: United States
This company called my work (A R G & Ass) while I was at lunch and spoke with my boss. They asked my boss how they would handle me being served at my work for court. My boss got all the information that the guy would give call back number, case number but would not leave a name. When I returned I was given the information and my boss stood by my desk while I called. The 1st person to answer said that the name of the company was A I G Assoc but then I was transfered to a man who stated the name of the company was Assets Relient, still not sure what their actual name is. Anyways the gentleman that I talked to asked me who I was and he stated that I use to be called by a differant last name and the one he told me was a name I have never had so I told him he must have the wrong person. Then he asked me if my last four of my social are _ _ _ _ and i said yes then he stated then this is you. He told me I owed a debt on a car loan from 1999 that I am being sued in civil court on. I told him I had never had a car loan on 1999. Hw just kept arguing, I asked what the amount was he said 10,300.00 but he would settle today for 1,248.13. I told him I was not paying him anything because this was not me and he still continued to argue. I asked him to fax me something regarding this and I was told that he does not have to fax me anything that I know I owe this. These are scams people do not send them anything. I tols this man that he was on speaker phone and my boss was listening to everything and he hung up. A real debt collector will want to give you information on the item being collected for. DO NOT SEND THIS COMPANY MONEY. Anyone who has contact with these people need to report them.

As you already know, the "car loan" is fake.
They commonly use threatening calls to employers to intimidate you by threatening to embarass you in front of your employer. It's a phone extortion racket, run by criminals.
If they have your SSN, they may have gotten it from some fake "payday loan application" website you might have applied on, even if you never got any loan.
Consider the following when you go to work tomorrow:
Wire fraud takes place over phone lines or involves electronic communications. The legal definition of wire fraud has four elements:
The defendant created or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money or property;
The defendant did so with intent to defraud;
It was reasonably foreseeable that the defendant would use wire communications; and
The defendant did in fact use interstate wire communications.
This includes phones, email, wire transfers etc.
