discovered a 700 w/drawal from a company that has been closed and wanted my bank account info. I refused to provide it and told him to confirm it (he claimed to have it), he wouldn't. I asked him how the company way, what company employed him, when it was done, - ect. I suspect it might be a scam by a payday loan company. I FINALLY unburied myself with the payday loan sharks and don't want to go back.

Has anyone heard of such a thing? I asked for phone number and was given a 1-800-923-8496 (which is not assigned per the recording).


OK, I wasn't clear - they claim NOT to be wanting money from me, but want to GIVE ME money. They claim that their auditors found that a business who is no longer in operations took out a total of 700 fraudulantly from my account. They (First Shield) asked me to confirm my banking info so they could DEPOSIT the funds into my account.

I just wanted to know if anyone had heard of such a thing before and was it legit?

This is very interesting because yesterday I received a strange call from an incomplete phone#. When I answered it there was this man with a foreign accent telling me that his name was "Allen" from the ______ Bank USA" Fraud Department. I kept asking him for the name of the bank and he kept saying "Well, we are not a bank, we are the Fraud Department and have you had money taken from your account in the past?" I am asking him "where are you calling again?" because he was very hard to understand and he kept asking me if I had money taken from my account in the past. I told him that I do not speak about my finances with strangers and he said that he had my "banking information" and that he was just verifying if I had money taken from my account in the past. I told him, I don't know, you called me, you tell me if I had money taken from my account.... he got frustrated and hung up.
Very strange....
