Type of a scam Debt Collections
They called and told me I owed $1281.00 for some cash advance loan I had taken out years ago that wasn’t repaid because my bank account was closed or I had told them to not pay it. Both of these are wrong. I still have the same account and have never stopped payment on anything. They also said they had sent me certified mail about it which was a lie. I am still at the same address and my mail carrier always brings packages/important stuff to my door. They had my name, address, phone number and name of my bank but NO other info like: my SSN, the original amout of the loan, the name of the company that I owed money to, etc. They said the original date of the money owed was before Nov. 2012. They couldn’t/wouldn’t give me any important info. that a legitimate debt collector should have. They obviously got my basic info. online, picked a date so far in the past that I wouldn’t remember the details and tried to scam me. I googled the numbers they gave me and saw that it was a scam and called them back and told them so. They made it sound real and pretty legit so I’m sure they have been successful in scamming many people.
