Today I received a call from a guy who had a very heavy indian accent, so I could not get his name. Anyway, he identifies himself and immediately asks to confirm the last 4 digits of my ssn. He says the last 4 digits but the last digit was incorrect, which led me to believe that this was definitely a scam. I told him that I would not confirm that type of information and hung up. He called back but I did not answer. I finally called back and he said that he was with Legal Authorizing Center (googled it, didn't find anything on this so called company). Their purpose is to process affidavits and notify the customer. Apparently I have 3 counts of fraud because Sonic Bank loaned me money-$500 in 11/07 that I never paid back and now the balance is over $750. Anybody who has taken a pay day loan knows almost 9 months later with no pay... The interest would be more than that by now!!! I requested a loan from One Click Cash in early winter of but I've NEVER received a loan from Sonic nor have I requested one from them. Between the accent and what he was telling me, I could not understand him, so I asked for a manager. That was even worse... However, I understood that they wanted my attorney's #s number OR they would stop processing the affidavit and send the "officers to get me tomorrow and take me to the court house".
I found this to be hilarious until this guy rattled off my checking account number, e-mail address and the name of references that I provided. They claimed that Sonic sent me numerous e-mails that I didn't respond to and they were taking action against me. I told them that the personal information they had on me was incorrect (in fact it was correct), I never heard of them, Sonic sent me nothing, they did not call me and they did not take any money from me and I disconnected the call. I called my bank and they did not see any credits from Sonic Bank. This is definitely internet identity theft. According to my bank (which I happen to work for), they do have enough information to do an automatic debit. I do have a few pending transactions on my account but I will have to close my account. Be aware... No one is coming to take you to the court house, but they do have enough information to take you to the poor house!!!
