I believe this group MAY be affiliated with Asset Recovery Associates...both places have been calling and make similar threatening allegations, including one message from a lawyer. Sadly I fell for this scam a couple of months ago because, truth be told, I do have some old debt out there that was never paid. I got scared that they were going to charge me with "theft by deception" and I would lose my job. And now they are calling again leaving messages saying the same thing. They claim in my case to be the United Restituion Group with the state of Iowa. I moved away from Iowa a year and a half ago. The lawyer who left me a message was pretty loose with info and claimed it was from a bounced check from a VERY old checking account...like, more than 8 years since I closed it. And seemed unaware that I no longer lived in Iowa even though my address has been changed with the post office...
They keep calling my work number trying to get my bank info stating that I owe for a payday loan from 2010. I have asked for them to send me paperwork but they refuse.
They have been calling my cell phone, my moms cell phone, my dads cell phone and my parents home phone number. Saying my dad owe money on a payday loan from 2009. Saying that the checks he wrote to pay off the loan bounced, and that he owes over $3000.00. They call every like 10 seconds on all of our phones. I called them back and told them I want record of this before we send any money to them and the lady seems to get angry and starts yelling telling me that they already sent the information, which they didn't. Then she tells me that in order for her to talk to me she need the last 4 digits of my dads SSN, and that she can't talk to me until she has that. I told her since she is calling my cell phone and I am listed a reference that she can talk to me. Needless to say my story is just like everyone else. Get the call, tell them I want records and they fight with me on it.
I got a call this morning, saying they are from United Restoration group thru the state of Minnesota and they have a claim against me,we don't even live in Minnesota anymore. It's just like the IRS scam,they call from numbers in the U.S.but they are from the Domican Rep. and there is nothing the Police can do to them,so don't fall for there scam.
