PAY DAY LOANS
Complaint
Gee Gee
Country: United States
I received two calls today at work from some very rude Indian men who claim they worked for somelaw firm. The stated they have a lawsuit against me but would not say from whom. He said he would continue to call my emplyer until I pay them. He used the American name of Chris. I do not owe any loans so he kept asking me to verify my ss# and I said no I will not. He hung up and called back again. These peopl are relentless.

Ask him for his mother's address.
