Recieved a call from Kevin Thompson, however, spoke broken English with a thick Indian accent. Stated that I owed money from an unpaid payday loan from American Cash Advance and that if I didnt pay today, he would call my employer and start the process of having me sued and arrested. When I asked for information in writing as I do not believe I owe this debt (as I have never taken out a payday loan), he refused to send me anything. He said that after I paid I would receive something from the company stating that my debt was clear. I almost believed him because he had my whole social security number as well as other personal information about me. He gave me a fax # of [protected] and told me to fax my debit card info and a copy of my drivers license or I would be sorry. I refused to do this without information in writing first and he said that I need to take care of my problems or I would be sorry. I decided to do some research and I am glad that I did. Apparently this scam has been going around for awhile. I have filed complaints with every entity I can think of as well as had my social flagged with the credit breaus. The phone is still constantly ringing off the hook. I just hope that these people dont start to harass my family or call my place of work again.
I too have been contacted by someone who claimed to be an attorney by the name of Sebastin Taylor, from American Legal Services. When asked for specific information, he could not supply imposingly dates in which I was supposed to had taken out such loan. I am upset with the fact that this person has access to my birth date, banking info, drivers license information and e-mail address. The problem that this person had was that, when quoting my Soc Sec#, he was off by the last 2 numbers. he has constantly called my cell # and my employment with his threatening calls. When I later made attempts to return calls from the number that appeared on my cell phone or from the number left from his message, I found that the number was not in service, or no one answered the number during certain hours. Eventually, I called during work hours and found someone answering the call who identified himself as Lee Winehouse. In any case, do not fall for this scam. Follow listed site to report a compliant.
