i am all about paying my over due debts, but i need to be supplied with the orginal company name...if they cannot provide that or you never took out a payday loan,,,,dont pay anythigna nd dont give out any information. there are legit debt collectors out there, you need to be very careful.
If you look back on the thread, or search on their name, you will find they appear to be connected to some sort of a fraudulent "loan" cramming scam, that combines fraudulent bank charges with phony illegal threats to extort money. The "lender" is probably overseas, or maybe on "Indian sovereign territory", to evade prosecution, but they appear to have partnered with sleazy "debt collectors" to run their charges through using extortionate threats.
If they have your bank information, contact your bank to block your card number or shut down your account to prevent fraudulent charges from slipping through.
This is criminal activity. Report it to FTC, your state Attorney General, and the FBI. Report all further threats to law enforcement.

What a country!
Po box 1646 amehurst ny 14426
Company they collect debt for is SGQ processing
I googled the Gallo and kaufmann business
Two numbers for them 716 845 5789
Or 1866 739 0368
They called me from another number 760 699 2014 Palm springs number
I even received a letter in the mail doesn't look legit.
Amhurst is near Buffalo.
Buffalo is home to some of the shadiest, most fraudulent "collection agencies" in the whole country.
There are "companies" there built on collecting entirely bogus and fraudulent "debt", that have been playing the same scam for years.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
If they are bothering you,
Report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening arrest or criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a clear violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act)
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
I knew this was fraud. I receive these calls from different numbers and different 'stories' about twice a year. I'm not certain how they get so much info on us but ironically one of my bank accounts had fraudulent charges on last night. With all of the data breaches around the country there is no telling what these people can do.

They just started using it. This isn't a normal "collection agency" business number. Those usually show months to years of complaints.
There is no one in your area to "serve papers" (on some fake "lawsuit")
You already know you don't have any delinquent "credit card".
And yet, for all their threats, they have "no information" on who you "owe"?
You're supposed to "remember" something you "might owe", and pay them whatever they ask?
Yes, they are trying to "buffalo" you.
In fact, they might even be in Buffalo, NY, home to a lot of these scams.
