I received a call today from Charles Avery.  What do we do?

Can someone please tell me what to do?  I received the same call - from Charles Avery.  I was able to provide me with my address, place of employment and social security number.  I did not pay for the debt. The conversation just didn't sound right.  He claimed to be a credit counselor collecting money for the debt.  He got very defensive when I stated law: that he was supposed to state that "this is an attempt to collect a debt" and that it was unlawful to provide confidential information to verify my identity...I didn't provide it to him.  I am concerned because he had all my information.  Can someone please tell me what to do?

Second Chance Financial, claiming to be from Aurora IL,  is a scam. There are several payday loan collection scams.  They obtain social security numbers, and then call and attempt to scare a person into paying a debt that is not owed.  They  usually say that they are sending a sheriff (as if to arrest you), or they are revoking your drivers license (as if they could),  or they will garnish wages (which they cannot without suing you and obtaining a judgment first).  

I have chased scammers like this and have concluded that there is no government authority that will spend their resources investigating or punishing the offenders.   Do not provide personal information, and simply tell them to start garnishing/sending the sheriff/suspending your license as soon as possible.

I j got a call from them saying I defaulted from back in December, and that I had a payment plan set up. I never had a payment plan set up. I googled the number and found this site. I called them back and told them I knew it was fraudulent and she said she would take me off their call list. I said ok, so ur admitting it's fraudulent!? If I truly owed u wouldn't take me off ur call list. These people are sick and need to be stopped. I've been a victim of something like this before!!! Not letting it happen again

Recieved a call from 9704246733. Left me a Msg to call back 8004785809 ext234 ladies name was Brenda Johnson. Called back gave me to gordon wright at ext235. They claim to be 2nd chance financial.  Said I had outstanding loan from allied cash in2010. That they hd attempted to mail me coorispondance and it was never sent back to them. So it seems I was ignoring the collection attempt. They had a previous address of mine. Last four of my social and bank account. I did not give them any further info and said I would hv to research their claim.  

I just got a VM at work from a Kim Jones stating the same thing as listed above.  This is a scam no doubt about it.    The number on the caller ID for the call is 970-424-6733 which belongs to Bresnan broadband of CO.  Which is in no way connected to a debt collector. They usually use someone else is number to route the call through, once the person used my own cell number to route the call through so it looked like I was calling myself.  They do this so they can't be tracked.  This is what is called Phishing.    Do not give them any info.  This has happened to me before and it’s usually a person with an Indian accent.  They seem to be getting smarter by having someone with an American accent call, thinking that it would more believable.  Every time this has happened I have reported it to the state attorney general.  

I have received at least three to four calls from this number

OMG the number that called me was this number and they said they are "Second Chance Financial" the people that send over for payment was Bahama Marketing Group. I talked to my lawyer about this and they said have them send you a lawsuit or garnishements... this is a scam and just want your money, i almost fell for it. the wanted a credit card number in order for them to send over an offer letter... so just so i can see if they did send one i gave them a bogus card number. They took the info and sent me a letter with my name, address and so on. but this stated nothing.. they wanted me to sign my name and send it back to them... for what, so they can forge my signature on other things for money? i dont think so!

This is a complete scam.  Please DO NOT give them any information or payments.  Tell them you will have your lawyer contact them and hang up.  That should stop the calls.

GOT A CALL FROM 630-692-3000 STATES HIS NAME IS KURT BARNES AND HE HAS AN AFFIDAVIT TO FILE A CIVIL JUDGEMENT FOR WAGE ASSIGNMENT FOR GARNISHMENTS AND A DISRUPTION OF STATE OF CA DEPRIVING PRIVELEDGES DUE TO A WILLFUL EVASION CHARGE.  AND SAYS TO CALL 800-478-5809 AND EXT 225 FOR THE LEGAL DEPT
SO CRAZY

My name is Michelle and there is a Mr. Diez that keeps calling me from this number threatening to take my wages and suspend my license. I do not know what to do???/Help

Did they ever contact you again?

Never give out any monetary information without first getting the name, physical address of the company and phone number. Also, be sure to get everything in writing. Real debt companies will send you the paperwork willingly and not have any problem giving you the information that you request. If at anytime, you feel like it is a scam, it most likely is. Trust your gut and hang up on these yahoos. I've dealt with several of these, including one who called me over 100 times in an hours time. In addition to that, they called my office and my secretary (thank goodness!) hung up on them. They called over 100 times that day as well. The SRO (school resource officer) also spoke with them, stating to them that they could not call and harass me at work when they had been asked to stop, and that they were now breaking the law. They continued to call throughout the rest of the day. What creeps!

Please  catch these people the indian accent the other people that are working togather with this company the FBI needs to step in quickly there location is Tracy, Ca, but they work from different numbers calling peoples jobs  ARREST them !  iam going to have someone locate them so this can STOP!!!!!!
iam sending a BOUNTY HUNTER to locate them. so they can go to jail!!!!!  they been reported to the attorney General office , but things need to be handled, iam a child of God this is sad you you dont mess with Gods children!!!! people are not perfect but this is not the way its Harrassment i will take this also to the police dept today!

Exact same thing happened to me.  What can we do?  It scares me they do have my personal information.

I got the same letter.

I got a call from the same number 18004785809.  Had my address, place of work, and was very threatening.  I have had payday loans, but I have paid all of them.  The individual gave here name as Stacy Norman and that they were going to attach my wages and my bank account.  I hung up.  Very frustrating and upsetting.

I received a call from a brenda johnson back in march of this year Stating that they were collecting on a debt that i owed from an on line loan that i received that was close to $1900.00. I have never gotten a loan more than $850.00. This is the message she left me on my phone. She said if i did not respond by march 25th, they would take other actions. I deleted the recording on april 21st after i called to find out what this was all about. i could not get to speak with ms. or mrs. brenda johnson so i spoke with ms. ortiz who stated that they have locations in texas and their headquarters is stationed in florida. She also said that they would settle with a payment of $260.00. I gave her my debit card information and told her to call me back on the 29th of april to take care of this. But then it dawned on me, why would they settle for such a little amount. I too just like some of the other complains have been scammed once before. So what do i do since they have my card information. It's like one other person said, they knew my name, address, place of work, bank affiliation, and the last four digits of my social security number. Who do i need to contact in your city or state to report them to? i am calling them back to get their address and zip code tomorrow and to let them know that i googled them and found out that they are a fraud and nothing but a scam. Should i do this? Would this be the right step to take? Please respond to my message if their is anyone who can help me get in contact with some legal person in aurora, illinois to handle this situation.

I just got off the phone with them. I spoke with a lady named ms. ortiz, because she said that the original person that called me in march just left from work. Anyway...this lady that called me in march went by the name brenda johnson. She claimed if i did not contact them by march 25th, that other actions would be taken to collect on a debt that i owed to an online loan that they say i acquired. This amount that they say i have gotten is false. It was close to $1900.00 but the most i have ever gotten was $850.00, but not from who they say i got it from. They never said anything about sending a sheriff or have my license revoked, but they did mention about having my wages garnished. So are you an attorney and what could i do about this. I gave them one of my debit cards information to collect on $260.00 on april, 29th. I realized a couple of minutes later that that was a steep cut from $1,900.00.

I recieved a call from this Mr. Diaz this morning. I almost fell for it but called the company that they said I owed the loan to. They have no record of me being a customer. This is a scam do not give them any information whatsoever.
