Ronnie Cooper
Complaint
Kellie
Country: United States
I got a call at my work from an Eric Johnson heavy indian accent 626-384-3258 claiming he was a parallegal for Ronnie Cooper and that I owed over $700 on a cash loan. Threatened to send his team to my work to collect information on me and have me fired. My manager asked him for company info on him but he would not give it, then asked for his address that's when he said stop waisting my time and hung up. It's a scam don't freak out just ignore the calls.

Callers are usually from overseas, often India or Pakistan.
Report to the FBI, and ignore their threats.
They claim that if you pay back all the money no harm will come to me, then tell me that my arrangements are not valid and i will save money paying them.
This is a hug scam and they have my social security number and have no response to accounts, only demanding money to extort from anyone not brave enough to stand up to these deplorable actions
Or file a report on their tip site.

Not all that much they can do, if the scammers are calling from overseas, unless they have helpers in the U.S.
But if you have any doubts about whether these crooks can actually do anything to you, it's worth talking to your regional office, just so you know for sure it's a scam.
If they are calling you via VoIP (and your caller id is showing "Vitelity LLC", for example), you might contact the telecom company, maybe get their number shut off.

They are a criminal phone racket, probably calling from overseas, usually India.
If you applied for several payday loans online, they may have obtained your information through one of their fake "payday loan application" websites, or they may have gotten access to old data from some defunct lender. Whatever, it's all a scam.
