Collection Agency Harassing Calls

---

I’m oh so very glad that i did research before taking any further action to please those scammers.  I received a phone call yesterday morning from a man with a very thick accent. He told me that he was filing a lawsuit against me for fraud and my unpaid loan of $300 plus late fees and what not, the money I “owe” them came up to $650 and they demanded that the amount should be paid NOW, he then told me that the only way to resolve this is, to send a copy of my driver’s license, the number of my debit card, and a letter that states that I allow them to take the amount of $650 I owe them but in to TWO payment.

I then told him that I was unable to give him my debit card number because I had just opened a new account and I don’t have the actual card with me. Then, he told me to go out and go to Walmart to buy a prepaid debit card and fax them my driver’s license along with the letter of authorization and the prepaid debit card number.

Me being scared, stupid, and with inability to think straight I did what they told me to do, once that was done they called back said that they were unable to charge my card because i had bought the wrong card (God has it’s way) and that I had 2 hours to pay them or they will file report on me! At that point I didn’t know what else to do, so I started asking questions and asked them what was the name of the company I owe the money to, he said it CASH ADVANCE AMERICA. I hung up the phone and went online and typed in the name on google, and the first thing that pop-ed up were scam warnings and this website. I found relief when I stared reading complaints about other people’s experience with this scam and the complaints were the same incident as of what happened to me; American name, thick indian accent where you can barely understand, the method of paying them, lawsuits, frauds, and their determination of getting MY MONEY promptly. I called them back and ask them if they can give me the account number they send the money, the date they send it, and my social security number. They couldn’t give me any of that information, the only thing they gave me were the LAST 4-DIGITS of my SSN. I told them that if they were going to file a report on me they would have all those information as evidence. I made assure that I now know what was going on, I told them that I will report this to the FBI, I knew their phone number; 860-761-3297 and his name; SCOTT WILSON.

He then hung up on me. I told my friends and warned them too, they had advice me to call the FTC and Better Business Bureau and report them so they can track them down! I should also warn you that the number they are using is from a Magic Jack, we had a Magic Jack before and trust me, when they turned it off, it had the same messaging system as my old magic jack.

SO WARN YOUR FRIENDS AND BE CAREFUL!
