Better think twice before you send them anything. This is a SCAM!
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I received a call yesterday from a denise callahan claiming to be from ross kane law firm.....she threatened me with a warrant for my arrest or pay 312.00 yesterday. I explained that I could not and then she said I will give you until tomorrow because they are going to file on you. I called her back today and made an arrangement to pay 157.50 and it would be settled. She claims that it was from a payday loan about 6 years ago.

This one is not related to the "Target Breech". Some street criminals have taken to the telephones lately. They call and tell their intended victim the will be arrested for check fraud for not paying back a PDL (whether they had one or not).
Problem is debt is a civil matter (a "tort") not a crime. You can't be arrested for debt. Now, shills and frauds argue the PDL was secured with a "post dated" check, hence the "bad check" charge. That is bull s**t. The post dated checks used to secure a PDL do not fall under "bad check" or "hot check" statutes.

Even if you did default on a loan, it's NOT fraud. Debt is civil, not criminal, so you will NOT go to jail either! More info here:

| Notafool 2014-02-13 03:53:00 Debt Collector |
Caller says he is Travis Taylor from check enforcement services. Idk about anyone else but not to many African Americans named Travis that I'm aware of. Spent an hour researching him or his alias tonight. This alias shows up in complaints about debt collectors since 2008. Either this fool is using his real name or he's been using the same alias all these years. The scam along with the original number of (713) 955-2031 are associated with numerous other telephone numbers online. This guy is the bottom of the barrel extortion artist.
| Notafool 2014-02-12 21:16:09 Debt Collector |
Called and said I attempted to defraud a financial institution. Either pay or go to jail. I called his bluff immediately and he tried to intimidate me even more. Call was over a payday loan. This company claimed to own the loan. Scam artists.
