My elderly, disabled mother has been recieving threatening phone calls from a company called First Cash International. They are claiming that she took out a loan from a company that she never paid back. The caller ID generally displays "unknown or unavailable". When she did not answer the call, they left a threatening message stating that they were a law firm representing a company from which she was being sued by for non-payment of a loan.
The caller does not speak English very clearly and we had to listen to the voice mail severly times. He left a number for her to call back, (724) 990-0656. When we returned the call he could not give us any information about what company was sueing her, where or how the loan was taken out, nothing.
He continued his spill about how she was going to get sued, spouting out her ss# and DOB. He told us she could wire money today or suffer the rath of legal fees that would follow in the wake of her non-wiring.
Being suspecious, I decided to do some research on the internet and low and behold... Its a SCAM! My advice to any consumer plagued by these voltures is protect yourself by filing an identity theft report with your local police station, send a copy of that report to all the major credit reporting agencies and put a security freeze on your debts, and contact your local attorney generals office and file a complaint.
