Whose # is this? Any help is appreciated.

i HAD THIS DONE THEY HAD MY DAUGHTER NUMBER AND SAID I WAS GONNA BE ARREST I DIDNT REMEMBER ANY LOAN LIKE THIS  CALLING MY JOB  DESK NUMBER  THREATING ME  YES I DID CALL THE FTC

They called me, my in-laws, my grandparents, and my husbands grandmother.  I called them and advised I was recording the call, they advised that I am not allowed to do that, so I told them that I cannot speak to them than.  Have not heard back since, I am trying to call them again now to get more info and nobody will answer.  THis is unfair and they have my whole family worried.

I called the FTC and they said that it sounded like a scam. I also called my state, which is in NC, consumer complaint department who informed me that this was a scam. Payday loans is swhat they said I owed. Payday loans are illegal in the state I live with along and litigation for one as well. I have not heard from them since and neither have my family that they were contacting as well.

I tried to find the business online and I couldn't, I looked up the "locators" number and it came up with a business name, a city and state, but I can't find it anywhere online or the yellow pages.  I can't find the locators name online either.

I got a phone call too but they told me the same thing. They informed me of my old address and also my old bank info. This maybe a scam because their 'locator" called from bogus numbers. I cannot find this company online either.

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

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 got a call from them a person stating they needed to varify my address so I could be served papers to appear in court.  It left this number for me to call and try to settle before court.  I called the number and they refused to send me something in writing, couldnt tell me what the debt was for other than the name of the bank.  They wanted to know how I wanted to settle, how much I wanted to pay every week or two weeks, they refused to listen to me when I said I didn't have this debt.  They read off my name, address etc.  Still refused to give me anthing in writing, they said they didn't have to because they weren't a debt collector, they aren't a law firm, they are pre-litigation.
