SFI - STATE FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS payday loan scam, harassment, threatened with arrest Seattle, Washington
I got a call today at my work number from a woman who identified herself as being with State Financial Investigations. She had a heavy Indian or Middle Eastern accent. She said I was going to be charged with check fraud if I did not make a payment on a payday loan.
I asked her if she represented an actual state agency and she became very evasive, but basically said yes. She then "transferred" me to her supervisor -- which obviously involved merely passing the phone over to a guy sitting close by. This man, who also had a heavy accent, identified himself as "Officer Ron Jones." He said I owed $578 to "USA Fast Cash." She gave me two different phone numbers for her company, one with a Seattle area code and one with a California area code.
I asked him to send me verification of the debt through the mail. He said he didn't have to do that. I said he needed to check the law, and once again asked if he represented a government agency. Once again, the answer was evasive but mostly in the affirmative. He became very abusive and said people would be at my house to arrest me within three days. When I asked again for him to verify the debt, he said he was just going to "file the court papers" and hung up on me.
These people had my name, my work number, my e-mail address, the name of my bank, and the last four digits of my SSN. It was an extremely disturbing call. I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission as soon as I got off the phone (I know enough about credit law to know you can't be threatened with arrest for debt). But I'm not sure what to do next.

There's no debt, they call and scare people into paying a "Debt" that doesn't exist.
Ignore them there's no such Government Agency, they Just change names at whim when enough folks learn they're FRAUDS
