(208) 968-7990

Received call stating there was legal action being pursued against me. Called back, man stated he was calling on behalf of a law firm and they were pursuing me for fraud related to a pay day loan I hadn't paid back. Man stated multiple times his name was Ricky Willis, and that he was recording conversation for use at trial. Gave me the supposed date, amount, my full name, address, social security #, and where i had a bank account at. Remained on the line while i pulled my own records to prove this transaction did not occur. Man then told me they'd "be in touch." Stated his company was supposedly titled "pre-trial processing"....because that sounds like the full name of a company. Do not talk or engage with this man.

I received this call today also! and I have been searching internet everywhere to find something. This man claimed to have the same story with me but said i owed 1300 dollars. He knew my last four of social, my email address, my address and my bank. Would not give me any info. I hung up and called back and "transferred twice" to the exact same sounding guy. He then claimed to be with a legal processing company and told me I must be "yanking his chain" or I had forgotten about it. I told him I am looking at my credit report right now and I see nothing of the sort you are speaking of. He wouldn't give me any info. I hung up and called back five minutes later and it now goes to voice mail. I reported this number to the FTC immediately! feel free to ask me anything else! Claimed to be for pretrial saying I owed

Phone scam! A male called me from 208-968-7990 to try and coerce money from me to settle a payday loan he claimed I took out two years ago. I have never taken out a payday loan, much less defaulted on one. He was abusive and volatile throughout the call, and evasive when I probed for details. He claimed to have received my file from Titan Group LLC and threatened me with a felony arrest for bank fraud, and kept telling me I'd "have my day in court."

Just to repeat myself, I never took out a payday loan. He kept telling me to keep up my pretense and I would be served at work with the paperwork. He also kept offering a secondary explanation to my denial; I must have forgotten, but he was here to help. He claimed the balance owed was over $1600, but would settle with me, today, for $795. The only thing that gave his claims any credibility was that he had a few details about me: my name, the name of my employer, the last four numbers of my SSN, the name of my bank, and, obviously, my phone number.

I know this is a scam because, well, I never took out a payday loan, but also because he stumbled all over himself when I pressed for more information. Additionally, he broke the fairness in debt collecting act (or whatever it's called) by threatening me, telling me I committed a crime, not giving me any details, and telling me that he would contact my employer. These are all against the law. Lastly, I checked my credit report and no such inquiry was listed, nor has ever been listed. If I had an outstanding collection for the last two years, it would have been reported, methinks.

He was pretty rude - so much so that he became unbelievable, but still a little frightening. I called the local police and will call the BBB.

I got the same call and never took out a loan before this is crazy and yes they were really rude.
