I got a phone call from this guy by the name of Investigator Hollinger. He called with a supposed case number. First he said that I had an outstanding debt with Sallie Mae for a total of $612.00. Then he called back the following day and said that I had an outstanding debt with some payday loan company for the same amount. I HAVE NEVER APPLIED, NOR RECEIVED ANY PAYDAY LOANS!!!! He goes onto to telling me my old address( haven't lived there for 8 years) and my SSN. He goes onto say that I have to make a payment by 1/31/11 to stop them from turning my file to the state and county authorities. I called my attorney general's office and they told me if they can't send me any proof, then ignore them. I also filled out a complaint with their office as well. What this guy failed to realize is that when I actually looked the number up and traced the number, it came back to this: Tinisha Benjamin 428 Sylvia Drive, Forest Park, Ga 30297-2983. Phone number is: 404-228-6402. Its also listed as a land line phone, which means they're doing a phishing scam out of their home or one of their friends homes. Keep an eye on your credit report and report them tho your state's attorney general office, make a police report, and contact the FBI as well. These people don't have anything else to do.
