A person has been calling several times saying that they are an investigator from ChexSystems saying that I own money on a payday loan and said if I don't pay they will press charges against me.  I called ChexSystems they indicated that they do not have a collection account on me and that they do not call people on the collection account they just send out letters.  This sounds like a scam.

I got this call earlier today in the car with my friend on our way home from work.  After trying to argue with a guy asking me for my information I insisted that I find out who and or what they were calling from.  He tried to tell me that they would let me know that after I had given my information.  I angrily asked to speak to a supervisor and was then subject to what sounded like an old tetris game soundtrack having been recorded through a blown speaker into a telephone.  I was then given to another man (yeah right) and was told that I owed money from a pay day loan that I had taken out.  I actually didn't even know what a payday loan was until I got on this website.  He told me his name was Alan Johnson.  My friend in the car grabbed my phone from me and starting yelling at this guy.  As it turns out he had gotten the same call months ago from an Indian accented man that claimed the same name.  Still in fear I contacted my attorney who told me if they call again to simply obtain an address to submit to the Better Business Bureau.

I recieved a voicemail on my cell today from a guy who says his name was Allen Jones/Johnson with the Law and Investigation Dept. He said there was a case against my name and ss#. Needless to say I was freaking out. Later on I put the number in google to see if it was legit. Well I saw the post above and Brian described the exact same guy. He had a thick accent and he called from the same number. I called back later in the evening from my number ( which I blocked ) and he answered the phone "hello" that was the first mistake. He was asking me if I was another person and he rattled off a phone number. He then said he was the answering service and his name was Marty. He said the office was closed and I could call back tomorrow to speak to the officer. He asked me what officer called me. I then began asking him questions he couldn't answer. He didn't even give me office hours. This is so absurd!

Brian,
I believe I got a call from the same guy!

I got a phone call today from a man with very broken english telling me that I have 3 charges against me from a company called Cash at Once. They said I supposingly got a $300 payday loan. He started talking about money laundering etc. This is very bogus and a money making scheme. Please be careful people will tell you all sorts of things to scare you.
