I received a call from 102-855-1013 on Friday the 13th...figures) (eventually it was 213-995-3039) and it was a Middle Eastern scammer pretending to be a law firm, ACS Law Firm, wanting to press charges on a "payday loan" I supposedly took out in January 2008. Couldn't even provide an exact date. He went by the name of "James Watson". I was freaked out and went to my bank to pull my bank details to prove that I never received a loan, and when my bank manager asked where to send it to, he then became suspicious and said this might be fraud. I called the 213 number back and when I asked James Watson why I was never served any collection notices and/or anything in writing, he said I was "e-mailed" twice. In fourteen months? Come on...So now, lately, since Friday morning, I have been getting three calls a day from 793-806-2326. Twice in the morning about 8:30 and 8:45 am (no messages left) and once in the afternoon. EVERYDAY. I am changing numbers...
