    I received a call tonight from David Scott and Hector Jones basically saying the same about a loan and going to jail, but what really concerns me is that they have my husband's social security number.
    Did they mention to anyone having your SS number. This is very concerning!!!

      They set up fake "payday loan application" websites, to "harvest" consumer informaiton like names, bank accounts, SSNs, and DOBs, which they use in these scams.

      If your husband ever applied online for a payday loan, he may have been suckered into applying on one of the fake sites.  

      Other complaints report they may be getting old records from some defunct payday lenders that used Indian debt collection call centers.

      Regardless, they are liars.  Don't believe ANYTHING they say, regardless of what information they  have.. Having information isn't proof of anything, when stolen credit reports are being traded on black market sites.

    Hey

    I came to an agreement with a collection agency to settles the amount for $500. But later i see on my credit report that they really didn't settle my amount instead it shows i paid only $500 dollars towards my account and the remaining balance is still there. I called the collection agencies many times...now they are not willing to talk. I spoke to the manager and asked for the recording of the conversation.. he said tthat he  is looking for one a nd will give me call. I called him more thabn10 time in one weeks and left message. NO calls were returned.

    Now i would like to know that is there any free public lawyer that i can get  help to look into my case OR Get the collection agency fraud number to contact

    Ive gotten the very same kind of scam call. Yesterday I came home to find a voice mail message frm a "Kevin Smith" who had a horrible Indian accent and he said there were many complaints against my social security number and to prevent legal action I was to call them back. when I did they said yes they were familiar with my 'case' yet they couldnt tell me who excatly was my supposed debtor. long story short, they (2 folks there that i spoke with) tried their best to fake an American accent, which considering theirs its impossible and they said I could either pay them now or Id need to hire the very best attorney I could afford to defend me because, as they said, they were going to send 2 detectives to my house to arrest me.

    they were calling from memphis tennessee and their number is901-584-0663.

    I got a call from a company the guy said he was an Investigator from a company call investigation Litigation and he said that I owed my cash now money from back in 2010, I did take out a loan from them but believe it was before 2010, He stated that he was trying to stop a warrant for my arrest on fraud of a banking institution and theft. He said I can make two equal payments. When I told them that was more then my paycheck, and offered to make payments he got rude. He said that he will issue the warrant to my local police and go to court and they give me three meals a day. Plus the fact is he called on my Girlfriend's phone number from another state which I got her a cell phone in my name. And said I left it as a contact number, but her and I only met each other at a Christmas party this past year. I said he was using that number. Not he called it. Also my home phone is not the same as it was back in 2010. So he. Now anyone know the Pennsylvania statue of limitations on these charges.
