In response to Kathy earlier today ....

} "call from my daughter ... someone ... called my ex husband"

Either the thug is using outdated info or you can be found just fine, and your opponent is hoping to shame you through needless skip tracing.

} "I did take out a pay day loan"

yyyyep .... Payment in full and on time was simply not enough. Someone monetized your application data. This is where the trouble starts for many fake payday collector call recipients, whether or not they accepted a loan.

} "4 warrants were issued"

Four, huh? That story is more overkill than usual. You'd think one warrant would suffice, and if these fools understood the US legal system they'd think so too. That sort of unlawful bullying indicates zero proof of claim. Debt is a civil matter, not criminal. The scammer hopes you're at least half as stupid as he and won't know you have rights.

} "I have never received anything"

I doubt you ever will, though by law you are owed a prompt dunning letter. But first this would have to be a valid debt, which I also seriously doubt.

This sounds like yet another fake payday loan collector calling from overseas. Their threats are empty and their rude tactics are illegal under federal law, the FDCPA. Do not argue with them, do not comply with their demands. Show them you know you have rights they are trampling.

Try demanding a mailing address or a full business name. If the caller fudges his answer or you cannot verify it, it's likely a PDL sham. Challenge their horse puckey threats; they often make rude remarks and hang up. As the bullies like to hassle people at workplaces, advise your employers and coworkers these calls are garbage.

The usual response to such a runaway debt collector stateside is to send a cease-comm letter and file suit. If you find a valid US address, please do so. Fierce consumer lawyers will leap at the chance to run such a case on contingency. However, being mostly outside U.S. borders and having no discernable addresses, these particular criminals rarely make it possible for individuals to punish them. Submit complaints to the FTC and attorneys general. The FBI is also taking comments on these hostile thugs. Pester anyone with proper authority until this fraud is investigated and smashed.

Keeps calling under "spoofed" phone number (000)000-0000. Apparently they don't know it is now illegal and carries fines up to $1 Million. Have left meassages but don't identify themselves other than to claim to be 'processors" or something sounding like process server. Claim there is a public complaint against me whatever that is. Can't find any information on the number except that it is coming from Arizona (Interesting since I am on the east coast) and if you call they have a machine that answers "Captial"

Most likely one of the scams that buys or steals old Accounts information and tries to scare and intimidate people into paying already paid bills
