I  received a call on August 19, 2009 from a very rude woman with an Indian accent.  The first question she asked was for the name of my lawyer because I was going to need one.  She told me she was from Legal Affidavits in San Francisco, CA. 

She said that I had a deliquent payday loan and the company had filed a lawsuit on me for 3 reasons.  the only one I caught was a charge of fraud.  Because I couldnt understand 1/2 of what she was saying because her accent was so thick.  she proceeded to tell me that I had 48 hours to pay 450 dollars before she turned in her report or the sheriff would pick me up at my house on Friday and take me to jail.  I told her to email me the proof that I owed this money because I had never even heard of her company, nor had I heard of a company sueing me without me receiving some type of notice.  She told me that she did not have permission to send it email.  So I told her to mail it.  And she got angry and said "Are you calling me a liar!'  I said yes.

I asked which payday loan company was it.  And she said, rather rudely, "you don't know the name of the payday company?  I find that hard to believe and ridiculous"  At this point, I became very suspicious. 

while on the phone with her, i googled that company where I found the fraud reports screaming at me from the page.  So I asked her where her company was located and she said in the state of Florida.  I told her that she had told me San Francisco earlier and at this point she got very rude.  She got very loud.  I told her to calm down and let me talk to her manager.  She said "I run this place and there is no manager.  If you want to talk to someone you will have to talk to me." And I mean this woman is now screaming at me.  So I hung up on her.

She called right back and asked if I hung up on her and I said Yes.  so she told me because of that, I could expect the sheriff at my doorstep in two days unles I paid 5400 dollars to clear my account.  I said "I thought you said 450 dollars."  She said the price went up since I didn't believe her and hung up on her.    So I told her to send the sheriff or whoever she had to send, but she was not getting one crying dime from me.

so needless to say. 

Lie #1  - telling me the company was based in San francisco and Florida

lie #2   said she couldn't email me the papers but when I said I hadn't heard from them until now, she said she had sent 4 emails but she didn't sent them under the company name, so they prob went to junk and I erased them

lie #3  i never had a loan with a payday loan company that I have not paid back

The one thing that bothered me is she had ALL my information even down to friends and relatives.  She didn't know however exactly how much the loan was for, the company the loan was through, and the address of the payday loan company

thanks to sites like this one, I did call her on her fraudulent behavior instead of paying a company 400 dollars that I didn't owe

And I am telling you this woman got rude.  By the end of the phone call, she was yelling at me so loud, my friend sitting beside me could hear evey word she was saying.  And if that is who the payday loan companies use to collect their debts  they need to change companies.

These people have contacted me three times in the past year with the same story. The first time I got the call, I was a little nervous, but once the man said he could not send me any information, I knew it was a scam.

The contacted me a few weeks ago with the same story. We are in the process of downloading an arrest warrant for your arrest unless you pay us $1000.00. I told him do it now, don't wait until midnight. He said he was serious, and said "so am I, download the warrant" (which they can't do) "and I will wait for the cops here at my house."

Guess what, they never showed up. (Big Surprise huh). So I called a few days later and asked the guy, when are the cops coming? I have been waiting. He informed me that he received word that they had a backlog of arrest warrants, but they would be by that day. Well, the cops still have not shown up. So after one more call to them I asked again when the cops were coming.

At this point, he became very irate and said that the cops were coming by my place of employment within the hour.  I informed him that he should brush up on the law here in the states. Owing money is a civil matter, something you can't be arrested for.

   The person who called you was not anyone from a loan company.  She was a scammer.   From what I have been able to gather from repeated reports here, a group of scammers has illegally obtained loan application data from some online source (probably from a real payday loan company).   They are simply using the info to try and convince their victims to pay up or go to jail (which doesn't happen in real life).

    The big downside to all of this is that your personal info is now in the hands of bad people.   From the reports here, once they realize that you're on to the scam, they usually just go away.   Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it's the end of it.   They have enough personal info to easily steal your identity if they should choose to expand their scam.   If they don't, they would likely sell it to someone who would.

    I would seriously recommend that you contact the credit reporting agencies and have a fraud alert attached to your credit report.   Additionally, if they mentioned any bank account info or credit/debit account numbers, cancel those right away.  Lastly, you should visit the FTC's Identity Theft site and follow the instructions for reporting :
