The Bam Group
Date: Wed, 04/07/2010 - 20:21
I recieved a call from a woman saying she was with the bam group. She told me that I needed to make a payment because there was a summons out for me to appear in court over a payday loan. She told me that if I didnt set up some kind of agreement then they were going to come after me for intending to fraud a financial institution. I had a couple of payday loans that I took out, and due to unforseen circumstances my account was closed and I could not pay back the loans. She told me that they would make a settlement with me for $461.00 and I would have to pay 3 payments of $153.00 if I didnt do this I would be taken to court and have to pay over $1000.00 plus court cost and a chance that I would end up in jail. I made arrangements to pay my first payment and it was due to come out of my account on the 31st of March. It is now the 7th of April and they still have not taken the payment. Another thing that I find unsettling is that they alloud me to make my payment by check, I don't understand why they would allow payment on a bad check to be made by a bad check. I am a mother of 4 working part-time and cannot afford to go to jail nor pay a for a scam. Someone please give me some advice. The number that was given to me is 1-877-844-5383. Thank you
What was the name of the payday lenders? What state are you in?

What do you mean by a bad check? You need to close your current
What do you mean by a bad check? You need to close your current account or go to the bank and place a freeze on it immediately. Did you give them the old checking account number with a check from it? You should call the bank where the bad check is from and let them know you have been scammed or you could actually get into a lot of trouble for a bad check, it sounds like they set you up big time.

the bam group is a scam collector.they use the fraud,and bad check threat to get people to pay.she broke the law with that call in more ways than one.go to your bank,and close the account.tell them your account was compromised.they should open a new account not linked to the old one.when they try to debit have your bank reverse it.do not pay these idiots anything.shazz was right in you can't go to jail for debt.do that and file a police report for the first call.then file an AG complaint against the bam group and this woman.in fact there are many threads on this bottomfeeder.search the bar top right,and you will see how much of a scummy scammer they are.
