Victim Location 39359
Type of a scam Debt Collections
Calls come from this number, if you don’t answer an "urgent" must talk with you or your representative today before this matter escalates message is left , but leave a different number for you to return call. Numerous calls from different people daily stating I took out a payday loan January 7, 2012 and funds confirmed being received in my banking acct (started receiving these calls in latter months of 2016, last one 2/23/17) from Paragon Funding (which I investigated and is no longer in business, and shows as scam) They have some of my personal info. I have been threatened with a judgement against me which will result in charges being taken from tax refunds, if any, my banking acct, my wages , charges of fraud, theft, etc unless I settle immediately which they tell me is $760, but if it"leaves"their office, it will be $2100-$3000. However, they are unable to tell me amount or account number of supposed payday loan, will not send me copy of original loan document, am told it has already been mailed and emailed to me. They do not have my correct MAILING address, and email address they have, If I ever did have, would have to have been over 10 years ago! When asked why I am just now getting phone calls, was told their "investigator" had just found good number for me, what a lie, as I have had this number for 17 years. Richard, the last guy that contacted me told me he was with Consumer Financial in Atlanta, GA after I asked him twice for name if company and address. Another lie, phone number is a Waterbury, CT number, and no Consumer Financal found in Atlanta with phone number calls come from. After further investigation, I found this number linked to Citi Management Group in Atlanta, GA, but shows the Waterbury, CT contact phone number. These callers are very rude and persistent. Since I know I never applied for supposed payday loan, and was victim if identity theft in 2011 (ID Theft affidavits on file with FBI, IRS, STATE agencies) and considering Statute if Limitations for debt collections, that legitimate debt collection agencies are aware of, I’m calling this a SCAM!
