telephone scam

How the scam works:

Criminals claim to be the reps of companies that offers payday loans, which are paycheck advances of cash with a short-term payback.

Most of the callers identify themselves as attorneys for the loan company. They obtain credit card information, dates of birth, confidential telephone numbers and other personal information, and then proceed to victimize the residents. Even worse, they threaten the victims with blackmailing if they don't receive the amount. 

How to avoid:

Try to stay away from business pitched over the phone, especially if they are payday loans. Do not respond to their threats. Ignore them and inform the Police or the closest law enforcement agencies. Feel free to post below the names of the scammers, if you were contacted. If you want to borrow money from payday loans agencies, use only reputable companies.

    I received a phone call from a man who identified himself as a representative of an online payday advance provider, (I cannot remember the name which he claimed). After a series of questions regarding the approval of a loan I requested he said that he had just one more question for me....I said ok....he asked if he could "lick my p***y!" I was in disbelief as I shouted "are you f*@? ing kidding me?" He replied " no I am serious, can I lick your p***y?" I hung up. The # he called from called back 16 times in a row as I dismissed each one with a denial. I called the number the following morning and the prompt was that the # was disconnected or no longer in service! Wtf? The # is (222) 223-3333
