A caller with a thick East-Indian accent called my house around 6:40 am on Tuesday, July 28 when I was getting ready for work and stated he is Mr. Brown from the Crime Montering Center. I noticed that the phone call is from my local area code number. He said calling from a law firm and he represented National Advance Payday loan with US Federal Bank. He said he filed a legal case against me on behalf of this company. He went on to verify my information of the name where I bank and my email address. I asked him what County did he filed the lawsuit in, but all he can tell me is Campbell.
I told him I never heard of this payday company and never took a loan from them. He said he has a case against me and want me to pay $750 immediate and also, asked the name of my lawyer. I told him I do not have one and he told me then to come to settle this case face to face in his office is Campbell today. I told him I will not definitely travel 200 miles from my city to deal with something that I am not familiar with and he can send all information to my address and do not call me again. He keeping on said he does not needs to provide anything in writing because the contract through the internet is paperless. I hung up on him, but received 2 more calls after that which I did not answer.
I am glad that I'm not alone in dealing with these jerks. Can anyone give information on how to handle these scammers? Where can I file a report on them? How did these people get my information?
