201-234-4071 Shawn Taylor

Moving this to the collection forum. You are not alone. People are getting these types of calls every day. Sounds like US National Bank. Indian accent? They are likely spoofing the number. Have you ever taken out a payday loan? About the only thing they can do is call you. You aren't going to be arrested and nothing is going to "unfold on top of you".

NASCAR_Devil, thank you I feel better now...I thought I had paid off all of the payday loans from the past. I don't get any kind of information from him just that I need to call and what I stated before...seems as though alot of people get this same call...I have had several different people call from there. Isn't this harassment since they aren't aloud to threaten you and this company is...

It is harrassment but there is not much that can be done since they are likely calling from another country. File complaints with the FTC and your states AG.

Will they ever stop calling? Like I said first at home now work too...I haven't answered the phone and if they call and I do answer I am going to tell them to send me the validation of the debt in writing if not go away!! Hope that works probably won't.

Thanks for the information.

Just ignore them. If you engage, they'll continue to harass you

The only way I have found to get these people off your back is to call them once every hour for small talk. Ask him what he ate for lunch and what he is wearing then talk about guns and how good of a crack shot you are. I know this sounds stupid and retarded as advice but these people are scum and only go away when they are bothered by you. Once a manager even picked up the phone call in to ask me to stop harassing his employees. That was the last time I ever heard from them..........

OK got another message from this Shawn Taylor...he calls every day at work around 9:15-9:30 and then he leaves several messages at home...this is my last warning, the very 2nd I get this message call him, time sensitive, gives the # 201-234-4071 and repeats it, states that I or my attorney of record needs to call him immediately. If I don't return the call he can only wish me good luck. Best of luck to me and my kids.

It is really getting to the point of harassment? I am so frustrated I just want to scream.

Is there anything I can do? Will they eventually go away?

I need some more information here.

as long as you delete the messages and don't call the loser back.they will go away.as nascar said as have i.do not engage them at all.not even to mess with them.ignore them and they will go away.it make take a bit,but they do move on.

I am having so much fun with this number....and I think others are too. The recording I get now, says that this person is not taking calls at this time. Be creative and remember they record it.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I received two of these calls as well. Very weird! I know no longer have any outstanding debt and received one or two of these threatening calls back when I was deep in debt, so I am not overly concerned. The same woman "Sarah" called me but she gave two different numbers (area codes were for California and then for New Jersey). They must be some kind of scammer.

I would suggest reporting it though. I reported it to the FTC and the AGs in NY, NJ and CA.

Oh...and the second call came at 5:35 am this morning. They sound Indian.

Ok so do these guys really go away...I received a call at work and home on Friday stating that it was my final notice and if I didn't respond things would unfold upon me, he hasn't called work today, not sure if he called my home..

I hope I don't need to worry...

yes they do.if you call them back they will think they can scam you.not answering they will move on.

OK new guy with a new number called same accent same statements but more threatening, they only called my home not work and told me to expect to be picked up and arrested from my home, these guys are unreal. Thank goodness that I found this website. I had already been ripped off by one company b/c of the scare tactics won't do that again....

I hope this guy just fades away and dissappears just like he appeared.

the name Shawn Taylor sounds familiar. I think that these collection agents actually use aliases. The names are too simple.

some of them get ridiculous with their aliases too....I recall hearing that some foreign debt collectors would call people as "Clint Eastwood", "Dolly Parton", "Thomas Hanks"....the ignorance goes on and on
