trying to scam me
Country: United States
I had taken a few payday loans out last year (because it was easy) and thought I would be able to handle them, but I was not able to and a couple of them went to collections. Check N Go sent mine to a collection agency I guess. I got a couple calls at work and did not answer then on my cell phone and the left a message saying she was "Ashley Banks from county proceesing summons division and that they are filing for a cad check with the intent to commit fraud" They will serve a warrant at my house or work if I dont contact 888-392-5753 ext 516.
Do I need to contact an attorney?

    I have everone comments regarding progressive.  They are idoits and scams, and the worst of them all.  After not speaking with me they went to the extreme of contacting my manager of a large corporation to give me a message and of course a case number.  it was a number of 888-397-1534.  I talked to several idiots and asked who they were and what type of company it were.  They ignored all of my questions and wanted me to identify myself with a SS#.  I told them I was not identify my self with them especially if they could not identify themselves.  They hung up on me and I call back got another idoit woman and she hung up on me as well.  They are ver much rude and I told them not to call me at work, call me at home and they would have me fired especially calling my manager.  So at this point don't know the turn out but I know they will continue to send me threats and continue to call.  I don't care about the calling, but they feel they have to call your manager.

      Those are common tactics used in shakedown scams.
      It's basically an extortion racket.

      Engaging in illegal threats, harassment, and refusing to provide any verifiable information on the alleged "debt" are indicators that this is a con, and that the "debt" is fake.

      With these types of eggregious violations of law, most likely you will not be able to find them, or they wouldn't be able to get away with it.  These are just criminals running a scam.

      File a fraud and extortion complaint with FTC and your local police department.

        I have been getting these calls all year.  But last, week I paid forty dollars so I could stop getting those phone calls at work . A women thats what I'm going to call her because thats polite to say what I want to call her. Said her Name was Stephaine Graves and had a southern accent said, if I didn't pay I will be detained at work for check fraud.She called my job and I let her talk to my supervisior which if you were a lawyer you do not dicuss personal business to no one but the person invovled. She told my supervisior I owed for check fraud and told her I will not be at work next week that, I will be in court. She was rude and very ugly on the phone . She has told family members I will be arrested if I didn't pay the money owed. She even told my grandmother which happens to be 98 years old. I have ask these people to stop calling my home and place of employee. Which they do not care  about that. These people has to stop from doing this and there is way we can do that. Also this company supervisior talk to me so he say he is his name was Mark Green.

          dont worry: I gotten them also and I called my courthouse and the lady chuckled and said that they dont have the time to call you and everyone else who has summons. It is a fake.!!! First of all it is against the law to do what they are doing. They must send you written communication about what you owe. and you have to call them. if not then they can take you to court. My lawyer told me that. I have been dealing with this for a while. I was told by my lawyer that he called one of the places that called me and told me to give them my attonery of record and when he told them who he was they hung up immedately. He told me that they have to send you a written letter and that it is against the law for them to do this but there was no way to stop them because they end up selling you number to some other place and they do something different. I had a lady on friday say that she was filling a lawsuit at my local courthouse name the courthouse they would come to my place of employment and named the place and than said my mom and dads house and said their address. the funny thing is I dont work where they said and I dont live with my mom and dad. Isnt it interesting what they do say when they do there pitch. I did call the cops and reported them but they arent going to do anything. I even call the FTC and reported them and my attorney general but it is hard to catch these guys. All I can say is do not let them get to you and do not answer the calls and if you can do it get the call blocked and put yourself on the do not call list and if its on your cell phone like mine is I got a call blocker that blocks the call and the voice mails that they leave. I hope this helps.

              She could give you their address, but she doesn't want the cops showing  up at an inconvenient moment.
              They are running a con.

              Debt collectors are required BY LAW (FDCPA) to send you a letter within 5 days of their first contact, notifying you of the alleged debt, and providing contact information you can use to dispute or demand validation (proof) you owe it.

              The scams never send the letter. Instead. they have prepared scripts with ready made excuses for why they don't have to, like that they are supposedly just "process servers", or that they are not "debt collectors".

              They are a bunch of lairs.

      I got a call from Trina she gave me a number and a docket number. I called the number and spike to Mr. Howard he was so rude. I called my court clerks office which has no record of any suit against I let him know he proceeded to tell me I never called the clerks office. Told me that the authorities and a process server would come to place of employment and serve me.  I let him know that process server don't call before they come. They just show up and that I would not verify any information for him
      He stated that he called chase bank and verified my account. I laughed and said chase is a huge corporation they would not verify and information on anyone unless the party involved gave their permission.  He got mad and hung up. Scam artists.

      Tgese people have called me numerous times. A David Andrews is who he is claiming to be and from the sheriffs dept in a county I use to live in. This guy has contacted my work place as well. He knows everything about me AND my family. It's really scary you don't really know what they are capable of.  What if they actually show up at my work?

        This has become an increasingly common fraudulent collection shakedown racket.

        They commonly set themselves of a collections agencies, which allows them to get access to credit reports (often through Experian), skip-trace info including relatives and employers (often through Accurint), and phone search databases.  Whether they have any real "debt" to collect, they can easily fake the appearance of it, with complete access to your old bank and credit card account numbers that may go back farther than your own memory.

        Is the "debt" valid, and do these thugs have any right to collect it?
        Who knows, but if they have to lie, even impersonating law enforcement, which is a crime, what does that say?

        No sheriffs deputy from another county is going to show up in your county, at your home or work.  Owing debt isn't a crime, although the phone thugs like to pretend payday loans are "bounced checks".  Even any out of county law enforcement actually making an arrest would have to work through YOUR sheriff's department, as they don't have jurisdiction out of their county and it would be a major jurisdictional blunder to work around your county's own law enforcement like some outlaw bounty hunter.  A real process server wouldn't call ahead to tell you they are coming, even just to serve a summons.  If some stranger is calling you on the phone pretending he's going to just show up, implying you should call back and "settle" before this "lawsuit" goes forward, you are dealing with a con.

        Contact your local sheriff's department and court house to confirm there is no "lawsuit" and no "summons".  They've probably had other complaints of similar scams.
