Individual by the name of Kevin Lloyds called saying he was an attorney from the Dan Morgan Law Office and that I didn't make a payment on a payday loan. He explained that criminal charges were being filed and I would be taken to court. The number he called from was 281-203-8131.individual had a heavy foreign accent, was rude, couldn't give me information, no documentation and asked me not to interrupt him while he was speaking.
He put me on hold for he said 4 minutes claiming to talk to his "client" to determine if they would allow me to pay the money. He came back on the line and said I needed a green dot money pack and that I needed to give him the numbers on the card in order to call off the court proceedings.
Obviously, I was quite panicked and upset and decided to look online and try to figure this out and found sites like this stating it was a scam. I also made several phone calls confirming it was a scam.
If you were called, do not talk to them. I was instructed to do the following:
file a report at www.ftc. Gov; call Homeland Security at 989-497-0580
Call the credit bureaus and get a fraud alert on your credit reports
Contact your bank and continually monitor your account to make sure they are not taking money.
