Typical threats from illegal payday lenders and the bottom-feedi

Typical threats from illegal payday lenders and the bottom-feeding collectors they employ.

This is a SCAM. Don't give these people any information or confirm anything.

Tell your parents this is a scam and to ignore the calls.

If they call again, simply tell them you know this is a scam and they're wasting their time and to not bother calling you again. Any calls after that, ignore.

File a complaint against them to the SAG or FTC, if required.

Not Legit

[COLOR=black]These people may have purchased a debt worth a few dollars to hundreds of dollars from a legitimate business for pennies. (Example: T-mobile, State Farm, Enterprise Rental, Sears, Ect Ect)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]The business didn't believe a return on investment was possible by pursuing legal action. This 'scam' firm however gambles that they can extort half of the debt out of the people they call and in the process earn 1000% profit simply by making a few harassing calls.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]I filed a complaint with the FTC for the investigator who was calling me. If they really have something against you they will send you a subpoena.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Expect more scams like this.............:([/COLOR]
