My husband received a call from an automated caller telling us to call 888-671-4866. So he called it, left a message and a lady named Jackie Kilmer called back the next day. She informed him that he had to pay a little over $3000 in order to cover payday loans from the following places: Ten Dollar Acct#2876556, Total Lending Acct#11289756, Cash Net Acct#2944138 and CMG Group Acct#452776. She informed him that if he did not pay it, he would be picked up with a warrant and placed into jail with a bond of $20,000.00 for check fraud.
He asked for proof and she did not have any, but she gave her own "personal account" on dealing with payday loans and how she was living in another state and they extradited her on something similar to my hubby's circumstance. The lady also told my husband, that even if he did not take out a loan, just by going on these sites and inquiring, has set him up for owing them money.
Well needless to say, he got scared and she told him that he could pay $880 to hold if off for 90 days so he could research it. So he paid it with our debit card and he is supposed to email or fax an authorization form. She sent this information to the email on file.
I checked my email and there was a receipt for payment and an authorization form for him to sign. I was pretty livid at this point and immediately called out bank. They said since it was processing they could not stop it. They said it would have to post first and then they will dispute it for us. They said I should try to call Affinity first and they had a phone number, 847-726-3920, that posted with the amount. They gave it to me and I called it, but wouldn't you know it, it was disconnected.
My husband has been a nervous wreck since this, he has heart problems and not only that he feels a little foolish. You told me to list a monetary amount, here is what I would like: the $880 if the bank does not get it back and $5000 for pain, suffering and harassment.
Every one of these places are not really payday lenders, but they find a place that gets a loan.
