New Variation on Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

02/21/12—The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) continues to receive complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. As previously reported in December 2010, the typical payday loan scam involves a caller who claims the victim is delinquent on a payday loan and must make payment to avoid legal consequences.

Callers pose as representatives of the FBI, “Federal Legislative Department,” various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies and claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, or other Internet check-cashing services. The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment in attempts to obtain payment. The callers refuse to provide information regarding the alleged payday loan or any documentation and become verbally abusive when questioned.

The IC3 has observed variations of this scam in which the caller tells the victim that there are outstanding warrants for the victim’s arrest. The caller claims that the basis of the warrants is non-payment of the underlying loan and/or hacking. If it’s the latter, the caller tells the victim that he or she is wanted for hacking into a business’ computer system to steal customer information. The caller will then demand payment via debit/credit card; in other cases, the caller further instructs victims to obtain a prepaid card to cover the payment.

The high-pressure collection tactics used by the fraudsters have also evolved. In one recent complaint, a person posed as a process server and appeared at the victim’s job. In another instance, a phony process server came to a victim’s home. In both cases, after claiming to be serving a court summons, the alleged process server said the victim could avoid going to court if he or she provided a debit card number for repayment of the loan.

If you are contacted by someone who is trying to collect a debt that you do not owe, you should:

Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
Contact your bank(s) and credit card companies;
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
If you have received a legitimate loan and want to verify that you do not have any outstanding obligation, contact the loan company directly;
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

A guy name Steve Anderson called me after I had done some research on the internet about loans over the web. He said I had been approved for a loan of $5,000 and all I had to do was send the first monthly payment of $175 into to him by using a moneypak card from Walmart. He said he was a broker with Cash Net USA and gave me a loan ref. number and his phone number. He said the $5,000 plus the $175 would be deposited into my bank account by 7pm that evening. After everything was said and done Steve Anderson took my money and ran.  I called Cash Net USA and they have never heard of him. I know there is nothing I can do, however I just wanted to report this so that Steve Anderson can't run this scam again.

Steve anderson just did the same thing to me. I am not sure if anything can be done but I suggest calling your local athorites and moneypak and asking for your money back and say it was unathorized transaction and see what can be done.

This is the exact thing that just happen to me.... PLease we need to get together and catch this man.. I called from my cell phone and he never answered but when i called back from  800 number he answered.
