Complaint 35355 Details

I received a phone call, at work, from a women identifying herself as Jenny Smith 858-753-0022 saying that I defaluted on a payday loan and that I had to pay them within 2 hours to prevent an arrest. She claimed she had me on charges of: theft by deception, falsifying documents, fraud and money laundering. She said I had to get a prepaid credit card and not to activiate it, that I should call her with the details and that she would take care of activating it for me. Once I had the credit card I called her with the details and she gave me strict instuctions where to fax my letter authorizing them to charge my pre-paid credit card with the money to pay off the debt. Being the fool that I was I believed her and did exactly what she said. A few days later she called me re paying off some other loans but by that time I was aware of the scam and wanted no part of what she had to say so I hung up on her. She called me back again and I hung up on her again and she called a third time so I let it go go voice mail. I should say all these phone calls were made to me at work.

Last week I get another call from these clowns and when I heard the voice on the other end of the phone, it was a foreigner as was Jenny Smith, I knew right away what it was about. He claimed to be Michael Johnson (Personal Info Removed). After listening to what he had to say, I told him the conversation was over and I hung up on him. What he had to say was almost identical to what Jenny Smith told me. Anyway, he called back and asked to talk to the office manager which he did and then the office manager asked me to tell her what was going on and what I had gotten myself involved with. I explalined everything to her and she was fine with my explanation.

I am outraged that these types of scams exist and that they can get away with it. I want these individuals caught, fined and put out of business.
