I got a call from these people saying I owe money from a pay loan. I've never taken out a pay day loan. I was suspicious because of the Indian sounding voice. I was told I was going to be sued for $7000 and arrested but if I paid them $430 they would "drop the charges". The catch is that I can only pay using Green Dot prepaid Visa cards. The number they call from is 925-331-6002. I've been having fun prank calling these losers.

We require evidence when posting phone numbers--but in this case, I consider the 800 notes to be enough. It appears that these people have been pretty active:

However, I do want to point out that a few posters in that thread indicated that the scammers had rather complete information, including social security numbers, for the people they called.

It sounds like identity theft could be a concern, and you should be alert to the possibility.

You should read Pride and Prejudice to them. They love that. Wink

Yeah always be cautious of anyone asking you to pay them over the phone, or if they ask for pertinent information. Always call back the company themselves. I have been called before in a similar situation for a <idiot spammer can't even get his link straight> due, although I have never taken out one in my life. I have also had people call, saying I owed Payday Loans in the United Kingdom. This is just ridiculous.. the scams they try to come up with. (oh, you mean like trying to place their links on anti-scam boards? )

These people called me and threatened to have me arrested and jailed. I told them to please come to my door because I had called the Attorney General's office and the FBI to report them because of a previous call and I would have police officers waiting to arrest them. Haven't heard from them since. They were calling me at work, home, and on my cell.

After I spoke to them the first time, I called the payday loan company I have dealt with and they transferred me to their fraud unit and told me to make sure to report these people to law enforcement, which I did. Since they wanted me to send them money via Western Union, I also called the Wester Union fraud unit.

The FDIC has just wrapped up a one-year pilot program, trialing a bank account template known as Safe Accounts that are intended to entice the unbanked to register. The pilot program has yielded some pretty great outcomes. Get a [Deleted stupid spam link from idiot spammer] and to help pay for your overdraft fees.
