Total money lost $600
Type of a scam Debt Collections
Got a call from a Melissa Young and Laura Stevens who told me I owe a debt of $1500.00 and I need to pay it today or they were going to call the District Attorney and have a warranty put out for my arrest. So, i call them, they told to me I need to pay and I told them, that I couldn’t afford ot pay that kind of money. Melissa said they would settle for $600.00 dollars. As soon as I could I got 3 gift cards and put $200.00 each on them. Then I call Laura back and gave her the information on the cards.. They took the money off the cards immediately. They next day they call my job at Wal-mart and told me more charges came up and I had to pay it. My Brother-In-Law was at my job and told me that was a scam and to call the BBB. So I did! Thank goodness for the BBB, I probably would have got off more money to the scammers.

They had called me saying that i owned over 2, 000 dollars to which i only owned someone 500 dollars which was a payday loan from back in 2010 or 2011 they are now just calling me saying to pay them the money, or other wise they will put out a warrant for me.. I kindly told them to stop calling me or and my family members and ect, ect. And for me to carry two forms of ID at all times. They scared me, and asked me all kind of info, I HOWEVER told them i am homeless and that i am more worried about me getting housing and off the streets, but they didn’t care and never did care. When i call the number back, it goes straight to someone who answers i know normally when you call a debt person you go thru all kind of stuff, and NOBODY ANSWERS RIGHT AWAY… But this time when i called them it went straight so someone…. BUT they said i were to PAY i would have to GET A CREDIT CARD………But i know this is probably a scam, and they were saying if i do not pay them the money i would get check fraud on a old DEBT..
