My sister is on SSI and mentally disabled. She is being called from the phone #870-568-7011 claiming they are calling about an online loan of $300 with late fees of $75 from Cash Advance. She was hysterical and in tears. I told her to give them my number and have them call me. I have NEVER heard of a debt collector calling a 2nd party (who would not be responsible for the debt) but they sure did call me. I spoke to a "Mr. David Thomas" at x139 who had the thickest Hindi accent I've ever heard. He couldn't say my sister's name correctly and when asked my name, he only knew me as "the sister of". So I never gave my name. I began grilling him for the company name (he said "The Federal Investigation Department"), then their address (he gave 12313 York Avenue - he could not pronounce York correctly - "Los Angle" he repeated 4 times before I asked " Los Angles?" CA with the zip 20041). He then passed me on to a "supervisor Mr. Paul Wilson" with just as thick an accent who gave me the same extention number, and when I read him the address I was given I switched the digits to 13123 York... and he verified it as "correct". When I asked for the account # associated with this loan he told it was confidential, so I three-wayed my sister into the call and had her give verbal permission to give me the information. They hung up.
Then called back 5 minutes later with an "account Manager Mr. Brandon Chambers" whose accent was bearly better, who had an extention of 29, verified the address with the zip code 20401 (I switched the numbers again) and he said "correct". After grilling him some more he stated that they would mail legal papers.
I am appalled that these people can even get away with this! A reverse search of the number in the White Pages says it is a landline most likely located in Arkadelphia, Arkansas (Clark County). The address doesn't exist in California according to the United States Postal Service
