I received a telephone call at work from a man wiht a heavy indian accent, said his name was Steve Matthews and he was with the Legal Affidavit Office of US National Bank and that i owed them $1095.00 for a payday loan i took in 2007. I asked for the name of the company i took the loan from and he wouldn't tell me. All he would say is that tomorrow morning i would be picked up at my job and taken to court for fraud. I asked him to fax me the papers and he said he could only fax them to my attorney. I then asked for his supervisor and he put me on hold. After 10 seconds someone else got on the line and said he was Justin Mathis, the Supervisor of Legal Affidavits, he sounded like the same person. He reiterated that i would be going ot jail tomorrow if i didn't pay $1095.00 today or give him the name of my attorney i told him i didnt' have one and that he should send them to me. He said he couldn't do that because i have been "convicted" already. I could tell this was a scam but the scarey thing was he knew my bank account number and my social security number (the last 4 digits).
I'm contacting the Attorney general's office and would like any suggestions about how i can further protect myself.
