Since I applied for an AUTO loan I have been slammed with dumb calls

They are Looking for someone that I dont know

Call is continuous like all the above has said! Stop calling me! Especially when I am in class!

I just got a call from this number ,scam.

calls but no messages left

Just got a call from this company and they said that I was receiving a government grant of around 8100 dollars.  They said they where calling from D.C. and their number came up San Jose California.  I called him on the fact of where the number was from and he raised his voice and denied it.  I then called him on the fact that the Government wouldn't send me a grant through western union like he said.  He mentioned one other way of receiving the grant but by that time I knew he was a joke.  So I told him have a good day and hung up the phone.  This number is most likely a shell number to hide the true identity of multiple different scams.  Best thing is just to politely tell them your not interested and hang up the phone.  You have the right and power to hang up the phone!  Don't fight with them, just hang up and go about your business.

>> plz police  department  take necessary  action <<

We are not the police department.
We cannot take action for you.

Here is a list of (mostly government) sites were you can report those scams, or learn more about them.

Who owns this number?

We've be receiving umpteen calls from this number and many other numbers from the same business same agents asking for a Chris Green.  We tell them there is no Chris Green at this number & ask them not to call again but the calls have continued every 30 minutes from 9 AM to 6 PM - this is day 3!  Even talked to a Manager who wanted to know if I'd be interested in a Payday loan & he still didn't remove our phone number from their call list.  Calls that go to voice mail result in messages from the same agents for Chris Green to let them know that their online application for a Payday loan has been approved for up to $1,000 and a phone number for Chris Green to call.

Advance fee loans are illegal, period!  You NEVER have to pay money upfront to receive money.  If you paid via Western Union or a prepaid card, unfortunately, your money is gone and there's no way to recover it.

Some red flags can tip you off to scam artists? tricks. For example:

A lender who isn?t interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes ? for example, so you can start a business or consolidate your bills. But one who doesn?t care about your credit record should worry you. Ads that say ?Bad credit? No problem? or ?We don?t care about your past. You deserve a loan? or ?Get money fast? or even ?No hassle ? guaranteed? often indicate a scam.

Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they grant firm offers of credit to anyone.

Fees that aren't disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you?ve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you?re told it?s for ?insurance,? ?processing,? or just ?paperwork.?

Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.

And if a lender says they won?t check your credit history, but wants your personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account number? Go somewhere else. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they?re hiding.

A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan or credit card and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.

A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look professional. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau, a major bank, or another reputable organization; some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company?s phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.

A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General?s office or your state?s Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.

A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don?t make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don?t ask anyone to do that. In addition, don?t use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there?s a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don?t pressure their customers to wire money.

Finally, just because you?ve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan or credit card in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, don?t assume it?s a good deal ? or even legitimate. Scam artists work hard to make you think they're legitimate, so it?s really important to do your homework.

Dealing with Debt
If you have debt problems, try to solve them with your creditors as soon as you realize you won?t be able to make your payments. If you can?t resolve the problems yourself or you need help to do it, you may want tocontact a credit counseling service. Nonprofit organizations in every state counsel and educate people and families on debt problems, budgeting, and using credit wisely. Often, these services are free or low-cost. Universities, military bases, credit unions, and housing authorities also may offer low- or no-cost credit counseling programs.

they told e they were a payday loan they took $2500 from me I need help getting my money back I am a single mother someone please help me!!!!

I have gotten almost 20 calls from about 9 different numbers over the last 3 hours from all over the country. I have attempted to answer just a couple of them in order to tell them to permanently delete my number. This is the only one I answered where there was an actual human being on the other line. Extremely thick accent which I could barely understand, never identified himself or the name of the business, didn't say much, but at the tail end of his spiel, I understood "...this is $134.xx per week. Is this all right?" I replied "No, and you need to remove..." and he hung up.  From all of the other numbers that have called me today, I have looked them up on this website and they are all scam pre-paid "payday loans" which are HIGHLY illegal. I have attempted to report the numbers, but the government website where I can do that has not functioned (imagine that). Do NOT give them any money. If you can get them to remove your number, more power to you, and PLEASE post how you did it! I'm ready to change my number again (just changed it about a month ago from moving across country), but that would be SUCH a pain, especially if I'm nearing the end of the ridiculous calls for the person who previously had my cell number.

I got a call from this number earlier today.  At first, it was a woman who answered the phone, and when I immediately got hostile (this company has called from various numbers multiple times in the last couple days), she transferred the phone to a man, who said he was from The FBI.  I instantly asked for his name and badge number, and he would've give me any of that.

Oh yeah, I reported that to The FBI.

Similar to both of above
