stark called me and said I took out a payday loan online in October of 2012 I never did and that they are going to sue for fraud I got all bank statements from my bank and there are no transactions of any kind on my account they are a scam and need to be reported to the FTC and the BBB

I received a call from an AMANDA TAYLOR from STARK LAW! Telling me I had a payday loan out from 2011. I have never taken a payday loan out in my life!!! They threatened me with a lawsuit and called my employer and left a message saying they were going to seek me out and I had to contact them or they would file legal action against me! I called them asking when and where this was done. They had all of my personal information SSN, DOB, last employer, old address (during 2011). They wanted $2950.00 but settled for $375.00. I am caring for my dying elderly father and can not go to court or fight these people. They had a lot of information and it worried me! I contacted an attorney after I fell to their SCAM! The attorney told me to ask certain questions of them. They claim to be a law office not a collection company! I asked for the attorney lic # and the bar # of the apparent man on the other end who claimed he was an attorney! He would not provide any of this to me. I asked for the information that I was told I signed to do this loan, they refused and told me they do not have to supply me with anything I ask for because..... THEY ARE NOT A COLLECTION COMPANY.... THEY ARE A LAW FIRM!!! The address he gave me is a UPS mail number. He refused to give me the address of the building the company works out of. I also asked for the PROFESSIONAL LICENSE # of this company.... HE REFUSED AGAIN!!! They are refunding my money and I have to go through the stress of canceling my credit card and getting a new one. Yes, I was dumb for falling for this, I JUST HOPE NO ONE ELSE GETS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF!!!

They call me today very very rude said I owe 300 for a payday loan I took out in Jan 2015, however I never took one out. I asked for proof and documentation and they said they don't have any but that I owe. Can they do this? Keep calling and harassin me continuous. Is there anything I can do? I need help.

Called saying I owed 300 to a payday loan company, rattled off my name SSN  and address.. Scared me just because they had that info. Thankful I have a REAL law firm monitoring my credit right now. Claimed to be suing me and I would get 20K in law costs. Threated to call a lawyer on them for harassment at work and false information. She quieted down and hung up.

These people called me last month and gave me the same line of crap as everyone else. They called my mom on her cell phone as I was checking their voicemail on my phone. I called them back and they answered "Law Office" they knew it was me because they must have a caller ID. They knew all my info and I said to the Spanish broad that they are scammers and that they can't prove anything. She yelled at me and said ummmm this is a lawyer ma'am. She said that my case is in litigation and if I don't pay right away then they'll sue me and I'll have 2 fraud cases against me. I told her to go screw herself and she hung up on me. 20 minutes later I received another call from them and it was a senior level specialist. She was a white chick and was super nice. Long story short I fell for it and made a promise payment for the next day. I gave her my debit card info etc. they said at 8am it will be taken out and if I default on my payment then there will be no more chances and I will be sued. So the next day came and I checked my account around 8:45am and the money was NOT taken out. I then got a call at around 10am and it was some black chick saying my payment didn't go though. I was thinking maybe they had the numbers wrong. So she read to me what they had. All was correct. She kept putting me on hold and was saying that they were having issues with VISA that day and that the server for VISA was going to be down until Tuesday possibly. I started panicking thinking omg this sounds like a scam again. The girl was an idiot!! She said to me that my bank turned the card away because they must have suspected something. She said that the people who they use for the credit cards are OVER SEAS!!! Bingo!! That was it for me. I then said to her that I am getting off the phone and am going to contact my bank. She said that because my card can not go through that I had to go get a prepaid card and pay for it and they would take off $4.95 off of my first payment.($4.95 is the cost of purchasing the card) she said they'd reimburse me that $4.95 if I went and got the card right away. I told her I was not comfortable with this and I'd call them back. Well I cancelled my debit card and the bank said never to authorize anyone to touch my account of I wasn't sure. They said because I didn't have documents via postal service and because they were claiming they emailed me numerous times that it was indeed a scam. I researched them online for over 6 hours and I came up with a lot of useful info. Indeed they're scammers. They even have employees posting as victims stating that " you people better pay, they served me papers" TOTAL BS!!! They're scammers!! They get a cut of whatever money they collect that day and in the future!! They also don't use real names! They make up actor names. The address is fake, their numerous websites old and current are all fake!! Please people DONT GET SCARED LIKE I DID!!! TELL THEM TO MAIL YOU THE PAPERWORK. ALSO THREATEN THEM SAYING THEY ARE BEING RECORDED AND IF THEY DONT SEND YOU DECLARATION PAPERS VIA US POSTAL MAIL THEN YOU WILL NOT PAY AND YOU WILL CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES, THE U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL AND YOUR LAWYER. So they ended up calling back the next day (a different person) and I said mail me a letter claiming who you are and have it on letterhead with name, address, phone, lawyers names and whom they're collecting on the behalf of, then maybe I'll call them back. I told them the call was being recorded and that I'll be contacting authorities. I hung up and I haven't heard a peep since. It's been a few weeks. They're SCAMMERS!!

So this number called me last Wednesday and I never answered. Today I received another call from them and I did not answer. Then I called back about a half an hour later because they left me a voicemail saying that I was going to receive a  summons in the mail for court.  When I called back I spoke with a guy named Robert Matthews who sounded Indian he said his badge number was 1189 and he was from the US treasury and my account number was CF 79621. He Told me to write all of this down and then said I'm going to ask you a few questions. And he said all of this is going to be recorded. His first question was are you interested in talking to me right now and I said I don't know what this is regarding and he said OK just hang up the phone right now don't say anything else don't do anything else just hang up the phone right now and the police will be contacted to come and get you.Then he hung up! This call was unbelievable that's why I looked it up right away to see if this was a scam because that's exactly what I thought it was! Who do these people think they are this is absolutely outrageous!
