2/09/10 received voice message on home phone (my caller ID stated he called at 1:29 and 1:30pm) from middle eastern person with heavy accent stating he was Stephen Parker of Half Moon Bay California calling regarding a Legal Matter and that he had a file of my Legal Activities in front of him regarding a loan I took from Ace Cash Express Inc on a October 10th (the year was garbled) and that I was to call him back right away at 205-294-6286 (this is what my called ID showed as well as “Clanton, AL”). I Googled the number and found it was in Alabama, not California. When I called him back the call went straight to a voice mail message that stated "the person you are calling at extension 205-294-6286 is unavailable, please leave a message". As I was doing that, he was trying to caller id my cell phone (I was at work & had called home to check messages & then returned his call via my cell). Once I had left the message, I checked my messages and had two from his number him with just music on the voicemail. I called again and he answered instantly, repeated all that he had said on my voice mail and that I could pay $188 now and settle or I could see him in court on 2/15 and pay $2000 in court costs, plus $_ _ in attorney fees, plus, etc etc and that he would get the Initial Notification Letter from the Local Court of California out to me tomorrow... I don't owe anyone and have never taken out a loan, etc so I am blown away by this call. Who do I call to report this too as I saw other reports for cases just like this on your website although they came from a different number 409-229-4937.
