Warning - Phone scam

To all residents- beware the phone call claiming that you owe money for a non-existent loan,

I have received two calls this wek from a male with an Indian Accent- but an American name- claiming that I took out a loan about a year ago and never paid it back.

He claimed that with court cost and such I now owed $5,000.
He said it was a payday loan.
I have never used a payday loan.
Yet this man had my SS# and knew what my bank was.
He said he would send someone out to my address with papers to sign and I could go to court, or I could pay $500 and settle out of court.

I told him to go to HELL.
If you get a call like this- copy the number and call the loan company he claims you have a loan with- let them know about this fraud.

Do not freak out and become upset- it is a fraud and it is a well known fraud.
