I got the exact same phone call today, a man with a very thick accent i could barely understand called and said that his name was "kevin williams". This was an automatic red flag, legitimate companies don't give out bogus names. He said I had taken out a payday loan in may of 2011 and never paid it back. They said they were going to press charges on me and contact my boss at work and let him know. Immediate red flag, debt collectors cannot call your boss! I told him then i did not know what he was talking about and who I had taken the loan with. He said the payday loan companie changes their name every 15 days but that if I would pay him the 300 dollars that I would receive a 16 page document that would have all the information. I told him to call me back with some real information and a real name and I would then take him seriously. I know I did not have a loan with anyone that was overdue. I am especially not going to send someone who is not even in the united states $300 dollars for no reason. These people were calling my job! this is nuts!
