On behalf of Joseph Garner, Phone -877-308-4487 my call was from a Jeff Morgan on behalf Joseph Garner. I had this happen to me today they even threaten to have me arrested they had some other man say he was the Senior Deputy sheriff Daniel Paige of Santa Barbara county I call the sheriff’s department he claim he was from they said there was no such officer. They told I default on a loan, I knew I didn’t but all the threats scared me. I gave my credit card and ask that they give me a few hours. They asked me to write a letter stating that I would not pursue this matter in the present or future paying Mr. Joseph garner. After getting off the phone I look them up and saw the scam reports. At first they wanted $1390.00 then $695.00 but last they would settle for $500.00. Anyways cancel my debt card and they keep calling. I saved all the message and filing a police report tomorrow.
I am getting the same exact calls as everyone else. LETS ALL FIGHT BACK AND HARASS THEM AND CALL THEM A MILLION TIMES A DAY. LETS DO IT GUYS!!
References that I placed on an application some years have just started recieving these calls about a week or so ago from a supposed payday loan I made over two years ago. They will not release any other identifying information and wanted for me to give my debit card number over the phone so they could get $450.00. Fortunately when I googled the number today to my surprise I am not the only one receiving these scam calls for money.
I received a message from the legal department his name Norman Cooper stating that a suit has been filed against my name and social security number and to call this number back. First I came to everycall and looked it up, I knew it was a scam, it's the 2nd time this week some idiot tried to pull this on me. Well I proceeded to call the FTC and file a report and the woman at the FTC stated that it sounds like a scam that has been happening and asked if I applied for a loan online, I stated yes I have and she stated that it must be a scam that has been going on alot lately. I then called the number back after filing the report and a guy named Jeffery with an indian accent answered I gave my first name and stated that I had gotten a call from Norman Cooper and I wanted to know the name of the company he then stated that I was yelling which I wasn't and then he hung up. I called back several times and then when I finally got an answer it was Jeffery again and he stated that I had been rude, I told him no I was not and all I asked for was the company he was with he then stated that he did not want to talk to me. I then informed him that I already filed a report with the FTC against them.
This is a scam. They have been calling on and off for over a year. Somehow they have my number because I have applied for a payday loan in the past online. The try to talk over you and when you start to question them as to where they are they get loader and talk faster. They said there are legal proceedings against me and my ssn for fraud. They ask for my attourn. number and then say our I can pay x amount of dollars. I do not owe anything to them and when I tell them its against the law what there doing they hang up on me. I know they are in another country so what can be done to stop this harassment? They call our employers also and say things like they are federal officers from the legal dept etc...There has to be some way to stop these leeches! If they scam one person its to many!!!!

It is a scam, but people must be falling for it because they keep doing it. It doesn't appear that any amount of reporting will get them to stop.
