I received a phone call at work today from a man named Steve Wilson for an online payday loan that they withdrew out of my account in Sept. He told the girl that answered the phone that he needed to speak to an employee there that he had a criminal summons for from the court house in my town. She told him to hold on, and put my supervisor on the phone. he told my supervisor the exact same thing. and left his name and number that if I didnt call him back by 5:00 then he was coming to my work and embarrassing me in front of everybody with a warrant for my arrest. He told her he was calling from the County Clerk's office at the court house (but the caller id said Texas). I called him back and he refused to talk to me. He transferred me to somebody else, who admitted that he was in violation of several codes for the Fair Debt Collections Act. He gave me the supervisor that said there was nothing she could do unless I had him recorded. Then my son-in-law called me and said he had called him and told him that I was going to be arrested for bank fraud with my bank and he was trying to find me by 5:00 or I was going to be arrested. He then left a message on my daughter's voice mail that he was trying to get in touch with me because I was in trouble for bank fraud on my bank. The message he left was about 5 minutes long. I then called him back and he talked to me like I was an absolute DOG!! and kept telling me to hold on he had another call and would not come back to the phone. Can someone please tell me what I need to do about this person. He told my receptionist at work, my supervisor, my son-in-law, and my daughter that he was going to serve me by 5:00 today with a summons or possibly be arrested for bank fraud. Is this legal???? Please help!!


I think the person who called you at work is a scammer. The person is trying to scare you so that you make the payments. You won't be arrested at the work. Next time when he calls you, let him know that its a 1 to contact others and inform them about your debt situation. Moreover, you should also ask him to validate the debt in order to prove that he or his company owns your debt. Do not make any payments to him unless he validates the debt.

well sherilyn you are right as this is a scammer.however the OP and everyone called by this idiot needs to file a police report as the law was broken hand over fist by the idiot.then i would only talk to this "person"to state you and all they called have filed police reports and will not even acknowledge them until you receive something in writing.otherwise it's a waste of time as the OP won't be arrested and the idiot who called only wants to scare money out of them.if they have to resort to such blatant illegalities then i guarantee they can't/won't be able to validate a thing.i do have a question.op is there a number you have on your caller id?maybe we can get some more info from that.

I agree with everything paulmergel said; sad to say, a lot of PDL's share their customers' personal informaton. Just curious, what PDL company did you get a loan from, what State do you live in, and are they still withdrawing money from your account? If it were me, I'd keep a VERY close eye on my checking account if these scammers have your personal information.
