Letter stating that I was severely delinquent on an installment loan that I tool out with EZ Money (subsidiary of EZCorp) while employed with a company that I have work at for 10 + years. They referenced both my current spouse and my ex-spouse, who they say are listed as references, as witnesses they will call to testify against me. I would NEVER list my ex as a reference for ANYTHING, let alone financial matters!. The letter accused me of immediately closed or changing my bank account that an ACH payment was to draw from and a civil court judgment was being sought for fraudulent activity. They also claim they will seek legal fees and courts costs if I do not immediately submit payment via mailed check or by going to their website.

Of note: The references website that they want to to visit to make payment "LOOKS" legit. DO NOT TRUST IT!

Called and left a voicemail on not only MY phone but someone related to me as well, describing how I received a payday loan over 11 years ago and never repaid. They stated they would garnish my wages; they had a relative's address, last 4 of social, old bank account info, and employment info from over 10 years ago.

I KNEW I never received a payday loan, ever. They tried to make me make a settlement to avoid the judgement tripling if I was to take it to court.

I will certainly make it my duty to report them, blast this phone number, and find the scammers involved and make sure they do not try to extort ANYONE else.

The letter said I had taken a Loan out while I worked with a certain Company 12 years ago, and immediately after taking loan I closed said Bank account to intentionally fraud them. They have my last 4 of s.s. # my latest address where I reside at this time. It said this was the 2nd attempt in this letter to collect this money, I don't know when the 1st was suppose to be. I paid one of these probably 2 years ago because it scared me. And I believe it was suggesting the same time period last time because of someone I was married to at the time, and now it's happening again. They sent no dates, no loan agreement with any signatures validating anything they claim. I put email address in the Website column because it would't take it in the email box it kept telling me it was invalid. Also they was asking for $1457.13 I guess i was trying to enter it in wrong.

Two or three folks called me several times before Christmas from one of their three listed numbers of: 877-700-6515 877-700-6543 and 877-700-9314 as well as a local number to Austin of 737... for a female document deliverer who all threatened suit and gave docket numbers with in 24 hours. I recorded them and consulted attys and scholars and reviewed THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT & QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUESTS per my telegrams friends help. Much more to say... Will take these guys to my local small claims court. Issue was regarding 1,837.41 or a down payment of 459.35. Sounds like these scammers are liable for triple damages possibly?

Received a call from an unknown or blocked number from a person claiming to be a process server. They said they’re collecting a debt and that if I do not call back further legal action would take place.

I received a letter from "Progressive Legal Group" stating that I was being taken to Civil Court for an 11 year old loan I never took out. My two references one passed away in 1996 and the other has been blind and hearing impaired for over 10 years at the time of the loan. The state I no longer lived in nor was working at the job they gave me. I spoke with and employee named Jade employee #707 and informed her of this she told me she was going to put it in dispute and hung up. This is a scam!

I received a similar letter with my mothers and sister in laws name for references and to be summoned if I dont pay by 1/10/24. I am assuming they never came after you if you ignored them or sent supoenas to your relatives. They are just hoping you will call and give them money. I had some debt back in 2015 but have paid it off and I am guessing they are using that against me to make me think I still owe money.

Every few months I get phone calls from different 866 numbers stating that I have a case number but won’t give me any details nor do they give any business names. They call my work and harass management. The most info I could get was a fake document that says I owe over $11,000 from a Fleet Bank credit card from 20 years ago. I’ve got my current credit report sent to me and I owe nothing of the sorts. I’ve never had a Fleet card. Fleet Bank no longer exists. They were bought out by Bank of America which is my bank. I went there and they told me it was a scam. Yet they are relentless at harassing me. I will file a police report if possible. I am including the document as well as a transcript from a voicemail received today. “Transcription

"Hello good morning my name is Roger Keppler this message is for ***** ****** this calls in regards to a previous conversation held in our office and it looks like your case will be noted as noncompliant I'd like to speak with you before making a final recommendation please call me back at office number 866-706-7451 with your file number ** ******* again office number

Received a notification of a lawsuit and civil complaint that I was severely delinquent of a previous installment loan with EXMONEY while working at a location that I never worked. They are going to subpoena my parents who were listed as references, to testify against me.

I am being threatened with garnishment and fees. It stated that I obtained a loan and immediately closed or changed my bank account. They stated that "we have noted your case with fraudulent activity and with malicious intend to commit wire fraud.

I called the number listed a few times but never had contact with a person, I was told to leave my phone number (which I didn't)

I hung up.

I got the exact same letter. The only difference was the place they say I took out a loan and I’ve never taken out of cash advance in my life.
They also list my parents to be subpoenaed, one who is deceased.
Another way to tell this is a scam is the address is exactly the same except for the city. How are they going to have a location the same address but 2 different cities. way too sketchy.

I got the same thing. The only thing they did get right was that I worked at the place (it was only for maybe 4-5 months)...but it was a place from 13 years ago! One of the references "on the original application" is someone I didn't meet until 5 years ago..and the other one is deceased. I have great credit and never had this debt on my report. EVER. This is not something I ever did. Odd this comes so conveniently during the year we built and closed on our house and even more conveniently after I just bought a car.. it also came in my new last name, which wouldnt be correct for the timeframe in which they are referencing. They are supposed to send the notification in the name of the debt holder (if it was even a true debt), not your current name. BOGUS.

Just got the same. One of my “references from original application “ is someone I didn’t even know during the timeframe which they said this occurred… which was 13 years ago. It also came in my current last name which I have only has 2 years.

A women called me from (828)541-6083 she said her name was Katie and I owed 497.54 to a third party called Alliance Diagnostic Laboratory. I told her my doctors do not use that lab, I told her by Aug of 2022 I had met my cat, cap and my insurance paid 100% of everything even out of network. I told her they needed to refile. She said they must have used them and it was out of network and I had to pay. I told her I was going to research and call her back. I asked her questions about about my acct# with the company I owed the money she said it was my phone number. She would not give me their phone number, their address, or any information. I told her to have a blessed day.
