I smell a rat!!! When I came back from lunch yesterday I had two voice mail messages from an "Officer Green". I couldn't hardly understand this man. He had a very thick Arabic/Pakistani accent.in his message he said something about a debt that I owed and that he could maybe help me if I returned his call. So I did - he said that he had an affidavit with my name and social security number and information about a payday loan I had in 2004. I told him that I had paid the loan off a long time ago.
He then goes on to say that I must make a payment on this debt or I would be arrested. I can't believe it but I did give him my credit card information. I was busy at work at the time and then I looked up the name of this company when I had a minute on google and found all of these rip off reports. I contacted the local police department and they told me to never give out my information over the phone.
Initially, I thought if the man had my social security number it was legit. I then called him back again and asked him to e-mail or fax me something from the company stating that I owe this money - He said that was against the rules. I asked him what the name of the bank that deposited the money in my account and he said U.S. National Bank. Funny, he put me on hold and said he would put his supervisor on the line and the man that came on the line sounded just like the first one I spoke with.
There is no way this company can be legit. No one uses these tactics to collect money that is owed. It is odd that the rip off reports I have read all were reported in the month of July. I think that maybe our information was sold or given to these people to make phony duplicate cards. Who knows?
