Today while I was at my job I got a call on my cell phone from 1-833-270-1357 when I said hello a pre-recorded voice came on and said that they were trying to reach my name but it was a name I had not used in 5 years and that a formal complaint had been filed against me and that if I knew this person (me) that I should call them at a number they provided and if I didn’t they would report me to the authorities or something similar to make me think that I would be prosecuted. I fell for it, I confirmed my last four of my SSN for them and my telephone number and gave them my mailing address and e-mail address and I set up payment arrangements fortunately only through my debit card which I will be calling my bank to cancel. I thought about it and I said I did not have an Amscot loan for that amount and not during that time frame which my husband confirmed, but it was too late, I looked them up on here and sure enough other people have been victims of this same scam, I am filing a police report in regards to this and I am contacting the Attorney General for our State Pam Bondi she handles these scammers really well.

Well I legally changed my name for 5 maybe even 6 months ago so in the US government my name is not who they claimed I was and they contacted my step-father looking for me but I’ve never given his name or number out to anybody ever and somehow they’re looking for me now I contact them and they keep telling me I don’t know how we got your number and then hang up and I feel like they might be doing this to multiple people cuz they were threatening with lawsuits and fines stuff of that nature

They (RAM LLC) claimed they have an old payday loan that I need to pay from February 2, 2011. They had my old mailing address (though I had moved a year prior), an old email address, and my social security number. They claimed I worked at Child Support Enforcement & that it was an Umqua Bank account (which I have never done or had either). The funny thing is Sterling Bank was bought out by Umqua Bank in September 2013. The amount they are looking for from me is $480 on behalf of Kingston Marketing LLC. I am sure this is a scam, luckily I caught it before paying them anything.

Received numerous calls saying that I defaulted on a loan in 2012. They gave an address that I had not lived at since 2008. They had my SSN. They also had an email address that was mine, which I had not used in years but was still active. I figured my identity was stolen so the debt was smaller than the amount I would have to pay to fight it, so I paid to keep from getting a judgment. After researching I found this to be a fraud so I was able to stop the payment and cancelled my card.

This company calls me every six months and tell me I owe for a online payday loan from 2010 and if I don’t pay they are going ahead with legal actions. I let them know that I have file bankruptcy. The last time I asked for a fax number to send my court papers to them and they hung the phone up in my face so I called back and was inform they don’t have a fax number so I asked for an email address and was hung up again. I called back again and was given [email protected] I’m pretty sure these people are trying to get people to give them access to your bank account.

My family has been receiving phones calls, a pre-recorded message saying that the are looking for "MYNAME" and that this regarding an attempt to collect a debt. The pre-recorded message goes on to state that if I don’t call the number they will report "MYNAME" to the authorities. After searching the web, quite extensively I might add, this is a huge SCAM. Do not give them any of your personal information.

It is a voice recording of a man calling himself Michael carter. He says to call a number back otherwise the proper authorities will be notified. When I called back they asked me for personal information. I wouldn’t give t to them so they started explaining to me that I owed their client money from a online money advance hat I had taken out from Bank of America. I explained to them that it was not me and they needed to stop contacting me. They told me that I would be arrested if I did not pay. I again explained it wasn’t me and they continued to say I was lying and stealing money. They call over 15 times a day.
