Unpaid payday loan
Complaint
Fed up with scams
Country: United States
Got a message from This company called Goldman & associates claiming that they were going to have me served or arrested on my job if I didn't pay them that day. They called from 414-882-2174. They said It was about a payday loan they said I took out in 2006. The told me my ss#, name of a bank I had years ago and names of people I know. I asked them for and address and phone number to the payday loan company and they refused. They said they are paperless. So I asked for goldman and Associstes address and they still refused. They said if I paid they would send me an email with payment arrangements and all the information about the payday loan and addresses. They said they only take credit or prepaid debit cards. I was so scared that I paid $200 and they sent me an email that came from an online signature company called Docu sign for me to sign. With the name CT Financial as the company that processed my payment. There were several phone numbers through out the email as if they were for the payday company and Goldman and Associates as well as for CT Financial. But when I called each different number they all are answered by Goldman and Associates. Now I've realized that they have several numbers they are using. I'm worried that because I signed that email signature can they have me arrested or summoned if I don't pay them anymore money or have obligated or excepted responsibility to them? I have since filed a police report and filed a complaint with the FTC, The SC Attorney Generals office as well as with the BBB.

Anything that is about getting served or legal notices are done ON PAPER and there is some proof that the papers were delivered to you.
They want your money but they don't want a paper trail. Tell them that they just called a phone sex line and that you spent 3 minutes on the phone with them at $5.00 per minute. Tell them you need your $15 bucks but that you won't give them an invoice.
See how they like that!
There's a trail of complaints reporting the name going back several years, including BBB reports from Cleveland tracking it to a scam debt collector in a strip mall, with possible ties to Buffalo. The striip mall site was already abandoned by the time BBB followed up.
"They have no physical address they said and no mail comes in or out, also said they are a collection agency."
Or maybe they're terrorists confined to a CIA "black hole"!
Yes, it's a scam and i filed complaints with the BBB, FTC and the AG in my state.
