However, it's likely they just wanted your credit card number. You should ask your credit card company to cloe the account and issue a new credit card.

loan from this company called MISS MONICA HOUSE OF LOAN INVESTMENT without
we being scammed.i am so happy that after all this years we can still
find our feet back again.i am so happy that now that we do not have a
job we can find a way to live again and i want to tell every body that
if you need financial help you can contact them via email at
missmonicahouseofloan@gmail.com.
Thanks for listen, may God help you too.
Regards,
Mrs Jessica Vergas
A lil advice....people calling you for payday loan debt with thick Indian accent, talking about hiring an attorney or legal officers will be coming to your place if you dont pay....THIS IS ALL CRAP. Dont believe 'em.
Frens this got to stop!!!! Hold on...forgot to mention, If you a get a voicemail starting with " This msg is intended to Mr. xxxxxxx. Mr. xxxxxxx the very moment you recieve this msg, I want you or your legal attorney of records to call " somthing like this, Its them, people who gonna go to hell one day. Disregard the Msg or their call.
I cant do anthing for You guys but I pray that this stops soon. hope this helps. God Bless you all.
Always,
Law abiding citizen
Indian connected abusive debt collection appears to fit 3 categories:
1) somewhat legitimate Incian call centers that are part of U.S. debt collectors, but typically the FDCPA compliance is much lower than mainstream U.S. debt collectors.
2) shady business organized Indian debt collection call centers, with numerous reports of FDCPA violations such as illegal threats and evasion of validation, (One run from southern California but using Indian call centers was sued by FTC several months ago.)
3) What appear to be nothing but free lance con artists, or small groups running fake debt collection scams, often employing fake "payday loan application" websites.
I might be more upset with these fraudulent and abusive overseas con artists, except that they have been progressively destroying the credibility of the U..S. based collection industry, which although it often uses more subtle deception and harassment, is in many cases as crooked as the Indian scams.
Because fraudulent collection is apparently a growth industry, and as quick to harass and extort not only debtors, but the majority of U.S. citizens who actually pay their bills, I expect these fraud rackets to continue to grow exponentially, fed by both cheap VoIP phone service and more cheap bad debt from the last recession, until either Congress is forced to act, or the credit reporting and phone systems degenerate into worthlessness.
It has to be someone there in the US who sends out the information here.
May be an American national or...God knows who does.
I have not heard of Silgate. Is it a company?
One reported source of U.S. consumer id information is reported to be fake "payday loan application" websites. This information has been traced to the Indian scams via anecdotal reports from consumers who knew they had applied on some sites but did not take out loans.
There appear to be various such sites, selling their "lead" information, which often includes bank account and id information, supposedly to "potential lenders", but it is apparent that many of the buyers are actually engaged in either fraudulent "lending" rackets, or fraudulent "debt collection" rackets.
Complaints have also shown up in connection with unauthorized deposits for "payday loans", deposited into consumer checking accounts, then quickly removed while alleging 400% to 900% interest was owed on this "interest only loan". This type of fraud is usually hidden behind Caribean island corporations, to evade state regulation.
There have been anecdotal reports of involvement in these fake "debt collection" scam businesses by Indian call centers. U.S. consumers report hearing typical "call center" background noise, with many other pitches in the background. In addition, several fraudulent Canadian telemarketers are reported to be using Indian or Pakistani call centers, most notably for fake "business directory" shakedown rackets.
There is apparently a significant level of fraudulent call center business activity operating out of India.
Postings from alleged current or former employees of Silgate/"Central Rewards"/"American Auto Benefits" have identified the company as the source for various fraudulent telemarketing scams. Those posts are often attacked by others, probably other employees, but pretty crude responses.

"Central Rewards" has shown up at the center of an ever widening range of fraudulent telemarketing, more recently connected to interception of calls made to U.S. call centers apparently by obtaining 800 numbers 1 digit different. More recently, they have complaints reporting "magazine subscription termination fee" shakedown rackets most often associated with Buffalo NY scams.
