John Parker, initially called my parents at their home in Texas claiming they were serving me papers to appear in front of a judge unless I called 855-204-7722 claim # 129463 and made an arrangement. On February 8 at 12:34. (This is what they told my parents.)
I immediately called the number and asked for in writing a verification of the debt. A company called Nationwide answered the called. They said that they were a mediation company. They Debt was from a Pay Day loan where the last payment was missed and from March. I asked if I could get teh information they listed in writing so I could verify it. They said they would not provide anything in writing but they would knock of the location fee of $200 and the total owed would be $118. If I choose not to pay they would proceed and deliver me papers taking me to court. I choose to to pay unless I had some sort of paperwork.
The next day I received a phone call from John Parker on my cell asking me if I paid Nationwide. I said no. Then they wanted to verify my address and a time to deliver the paperwork. I gave them a somewhat fake address and he said since I had moved to a new state that they would have to send the request to their California office. When I asked what company he was from he said and independent contractor.
At the same time a ex-coworker of mine notified me that they had left a voice mail on his machine from Steve, claiming that I owe money and they would be delivering court papers to my work. (Once again giving details to the wrong party) John then called my ex-coworker 10 minutes later ans poke to him in person. He wanted to know where I was. When he refused to give him any info he threaten to come down and "kick his a*" If I owe a debt I will pay it but I will not me threatened. Will I get served? Should I pay the $118? I truly think its a scam.
