I rec'd calls from an unknown number telling me that they were going to file charges against me for 1 count federal bank fraud and 1 count check fraud against me for a loan I never took...they had all of my information, my ss, my name, my address, my work info, my bank info...WTF?? They could not give me a date that this transaction occurred....wouldn't you know when you gave someone money...I mean...if you are a loan company...isn't this part of the process. All they could give me was between 2009 and 2010?!?!
I called my bank to be sure..but honestly, how would I miss an extra $1000. in my account? But they checked from 2008 up to current dates. Never a transaction from this company. I called them back, asked for their information, they say their in 42 Broadway, NY NY 10004 but the number I have is 646-543-4073. When you call they answer Department of Corporate Affairs, and I get Justin or Kevin...but original call came from Kathleen Walker. (I don't mean to profile...but all 3 voices have heavily accented. Sounds like I've reached a call center in India.)
This is really scarey...because they had my information....they didn't ask me to give it to them, but they had me so rattled and scared of legal acction that I confirmed it when they asked me...

All alleged "debts" are fake, and they cannot carry out their threats.
They are just criminals, hiding behind an ocean and using cheap VoIP phone service, to scam Americans.

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.
