Same thing happened to my husband yesterday only it was from 856-823-0398. Original caller was Shaun Noble with an Indian Accent. I spoke with David Watson, same guy, thick indian accent. Talks really fast so you can't grab everything he's saying. They insisted that my husband owed money and asked for my first name. I wouldn't give them this info. Said he owed a payday loan and would be filing suit tomorrow and to contact a criminal attorney and good luck as the police would be at our house to pick him up. The thing about it is, there's only 1 payday loan we have defaulted on and that one was operating fraudulently in Minnesota as you should not be able to roll over a payday loan here. When our bank account closed, they stopped getting money. We only borrowed 300.00 and I actually paid 150.00 of the principal back so they were collecting $45.00 in interest every 2 weeks for about a year. I've paid that loan off as far as I'm concerned. I made the mistake of telling this guy about it and he wanted $248.00 in two payments one yesterday and one on Friday. These guys called about 4 or 5 months ago and tried to pull the same thing but I knew I didn't have any outstanding payday loans at that point so I told him he was scammer and come serve us with papers and hung up. No one ever showed up. When this happened yesterday, I had forgotten what happened several months ago. I was frazzled and almost blew it and gave him some money. Only this time, he's not asking for your debit/credit card info, he's asking you to go to your nearest Walgreens or CVS and get a Green Dot Money pak scratch card. That's what made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I called him back and let him know that I would need some paperwork validating the debt before he got any money. He said that there was no time. I told him I thought this was a scam and he said that I could not talk to him that way. I told him that he wasn't getting any money and he could come serve us. Guess what? No phone calls back or anything so far. Don't fall for these guys. They are just out to get your money and have found a way to get some of your personal information off of the web.
