about 1 month ago i was getting bombed at work with calls from a man with a huge accent stating that i was being picked up to go to jail for fraud. I called the local police and had them run my record - clean - had them take the number down on the person calling me just so that it was on record.

long story short...i got a call today from the same number. It is a local Cincinnati number...but the number being left is a number out in Colorado - the voicemail left at my office as that i was going to lose everything - i was going to jail and i was going to lose my children. Actually he said " if you want to protect your children " -

what the #$)& do i do with this now ?
If I still owe a PDL - I want to see it in writing - and if I truly owe it- I would gladly pay what is legal -
but this is getting out of hand -
I filed a complaint with the Ohio A/G - but what else can i do?

It absolutely it out of hand! I hate hearing about these kinds of calls because it puts everyone in a state of panic and shock...especially the first time. I'm glad you're on this forum so you aren't winging it alone Smile

Although it appears on caller id that he's calling from the local area, he's most likely masking his real phone number. I've heard of that happening as well.

His threats do not have any merit...it's not going to happen. I hope you're able to keep the recording of that horrible voicemail...that's concrete evidence of his threats. I'm glad you filed a complaint for the AG as well.

Do you have any clue as to who they're collecting for? Do you know how much you borrowed and how much you've already paid?

I have no idea - i had a lot of pdls in the past - but i have taken care of them - and lost my bank account because of all the fees - lesson learned.
nonetheless...if anything i think the largest loan i ever had was a principal of $500.
again - if they would tell me who they are - give me something legit in writing - i would be glad to review it to make sure what i did and/or didnt pay - and take care of the principal on the loan -
but threatening me and my children ? - thats way too much

I guarentee if you get him on the phone and ask him to send something in writing he say something like ~ You're not entitled to that and you had all the paperwork you needed when you signed the "contract".

Oh and he'll never tell you his address to send anything to him. The main thing to always remember is to never give them any new bank account or CC information.

More likely than not...you've already paid this loan in full and probably even paid too much.

shelby,do not talk to these losers again okay?this is a scam.this place bought up a bunch of peoples info from ipdl's.they have no legal right to even call much less threaten like that.they won't do anything but call because that is all they can do.have your boss and co-workers say you quit if they are calling your work.at home just don't answer if you don't rcognize the number.just know that anything you pay these losers won't pay any debt.you will be ripped off.

thank you for the support everyone...i got caught up in the pdl trap - and paid dearly for it. I just didnt really know what was and wasnt legal - i was hoping that at least by filing with the state AG that I was doing the right thing.

you did the right thing.i think in this case you might need to file an FTC complaint.i understand they are getting complaints on US NATIONAL BANK and are starting to at least take it seriously.i this case AG'S really can't do anything because this
scammer is in INDIA.

how exactly do they call me with a local number - then leave a number in colorado -
and how do i know if it is in fact US NATIONAL ?
the number they left was 970-514-7006

I looked up the number they gave you to return the call, Paul is correct, it is the same US National scam...they keep changing/adding numbers so no one can track them down...

Here is a list of a few other numbers they use, I'm sure there's more than this:

they call from INDIA then they use a device i can't recall it exactly that gives a us or local number in your called id.trust me though.they are in INDIA and it is US NATIONAL BANK or they use aliases.that is how they operate.threats no address thick accents.just trust me file the FTC complaints and try not to talk to them again.they are a scam.

i know,these scammers are demented and psycho.people don't know they are a scam,but answering that first time they call again and again.best thing to do is hang up at work and don't talk to them at home.
