Type of a scam Phishing
I got a text saying I needed to contact 844-878-6135, so I did. First guy couldn’t find my name and we hung up, but I was curious as to what was going on so I called back…my mistake…nice lady used the name Wanda Brown, even gave me her number 833-217-1485 x1025, said I had an overdue payday loan from Advance America for $550 and they been looking for me for years, even gave me names of two references that I didn’t know and I tried to tell her that I never used Advance America and I didnt know these references so she goes on about well this needs to get paid or you’ll be goin to court and blah blah blah, the longer you take the more money you have to pay. Well unfortunately I give her all my info and agree to pay on friday, tomorrow…and did sign their esign documents. Then I do my own research and now wandering if this is a scam…do I go to my bank and cancel my card, can they still get in my account, and they have all my info since they gave me some of it and I updated my address…oh lordy what have I got myself into…I’m 59 years old and about to be a grandma, this can’t be happening right now. I did save everything they emailed me though, so goin to my bank to see if they can help me.

Type of a scam Debt Collections
They have called me throughout the year with various phone numbers but always the same company name. Saying they have me on video at check into cash writing a bad check. Funny as seen I have never stepped foot into one of those places. If I did not pay them $500 right then over the phone they were going to send the sheriff to arrest me in front of my kids. Do not believe them!! They are very good at scamming. Even knew the last 4 digits of my social.
