I've been getting these calls at work saying there is a lawsuit against me regarding a payday loan. I have asked them a million times not to call my work because it is a business phone. I have received calls from a John or Eric with a thick accent. I ask them to speak to person with no accent if they are based in California, they get offended and actually used the "F" word against me. No such professional business office would do that. Here is the number Eric Phillips (American name with a very thick accent) gave me: 858-769-4201. I am tired of these calls and wish to be left alone.

    They are a bunch of criminals calling from overseas, probably India, probably via VoIP because it's cheap, and trying to scam and extort money out of Americans for phony "payday loans".  They may even have information like old account numbers, SSN, DOB, relatives or employers, possibly from pulling credit reports or through skip-trace searches, or sometimes phony on-line payday loan sites, but the alleged debts are entirely phony, or if real, not owed to these crooks.

    They are liars.

    File a complaint with the FBI, and if they keep calling, record them and tell them the call is being recorded as evidence.  If they have any brains, they will move on when they know you won't be conned.

    Warning from the Illinois Attorney General:

    Warn your friends and co-workers about this scam, so that they don't get conned.
