This person called from 818-252-8368 claiming that I owed a pay day loan place $400 stemming all the way back to 2013. He couldn’t tell me the name of the company I supposedly owed. I’ve never taken out a payday loan in my life, but I didn’t tell him that. I told him that it sounded fishy because I’ve never received any correspondence in the mail and he got really snappy with me and said that he was "just trying to help so that the pay day loan company doesn’t take any legal action against me." He also said "Oh, so you are saying on a recorded message that you haven’t taken out a loan?"
I blocked the number on my phone and called on another phone number. The same guy answered immediately, the phone didn’t even ring. He is a scammer and I hope that no one falls for it.

Two voice mails were left, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The voice mails appear to have been recorded in progress. Phone identified the calling state as New York. These are disturbing messages, which I believe are designed to frighten senior citizens. I never answer calls from numbers that I do not have in my contact list.
I listened to the voice mail numerous times to write down the messages: "…there are 4 serious allegations pressed on your name on this moment we request you to get back to us before taking any legal action against you 518-636-6799."
The second message was similar and may be the beginning of the original message: "…will be taken under custody by the local police…" then continues with the above message.
I reported this to the Central Ohio ScamPulse.com investigator. Also, I mentioned it to a friend who reported that she had received the same voice mails.

I received 2 calls in 2 days from 2 different phone numbers (719-631-1044 and 316-778-9993). They left a recorded message each time saying I owed outstanding debts and threatened additional action if I did not respond immediately to clear the debts. I was told that I might get more calls like this and to ignore them after I reported it to BBB.
I wanted to report this information to help others be warned about these scam numbers.
