Complaint
Alan Jay Mazer
Country: United States
telephone number left for return csall was 1-646-378-2799, they asked for confirmation of my last 4 digits of my SS# which they already had, said I was being charged for banking fraud, telecommunications fraud, etc. that the Law Firm of LLC Law Offices, Mr. Jack Tyson (Indian Accent) trying to collect before I was to be arested the next day for a cash advance loan from AACA - Advance America Cash Advance - no such company, read to me over the phone some fake affidavid and arrest warrant. I told them to send me a copy of the claim by email or USMAIL but they refused and said "Oh My G-d, You did not receive it already?" and proceeded to read from some prewritten scam dialoge....I did not fall for it but they must have personal information on me that I did not provide.
Comments
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.
Did you apply at any "payday loan" sites? Some of them are fake sites run by these scams to collect personal information.
Did they say how they wanted the money sent?

If you are dealing with a phony "payday loan debt collection" scam, how do they want you to send them money?
Western Union?
Moneygram?
Walmart prepaid debit card?
Other?

All the same script. Even nearly the same amount. Threatened me with jail, job loss, court, etc. Could not tell me when I borrowed this alleged money. Had a lot of personal information. But not complete. He said if I would give him my debit card info we could proceed with an OOR or ORR, I don't remember.
I was scared at first thinking of identity theft. But then while the guy was screaming at me I looked up the phone number and found all these comments! So I started to quiz him which made him crazy! Then I said calmly, please give me the name of the attorney in your office. He got really mad! So I asked for a supervisor. He then said all my chances were now over. I would be in court Monday morning. So I said, please give me your address and I will have my attorney come to you today. That really upset him!
I started to ask him about the other names listed in another thread, and he just said those people don't work there anymore.
I will file a complaint with the proper authorities.
I immediately called my loan company and they said it's a scam and it's not from them. Be cautious people.
