888-497-6843 888-497-6843 Many calls from these bottom dwellers. They sound like a bunch of obnoxious Indian people who were help desk rejects. I have never had a rip**** "PAYDAY" LOAN. my home number is 718-220-4287. They should be able to figure out who I am by looking in their "MSDOS" 5.0 data base that they run off 5 inch floppies. 8-) Bottom line is I have recently files for chapter 7 bankruptcy in FEDERAL court, sourthern district NYS Having filed phrohibits deitbors, or their "agents"from harrassing you AT ALL. Whether or not this is a legitiment debt I truly don't know. Just love to see blood****ing vultures ***g out dry However I FULLY intend to report calls generated by this number to my case trustee.***** I've already had on slimy bill buyer fined 10K.. Imagine a bill collector commiting fraud????

Don't know who these people are but they've called me several times in the last ten days. On a couple of occasions,the number has come up on my phone's ID with the numbers 63 in front of it. Don't know what that's about. In any case,I'm tired of them calling me all the time. I just want to be left alone. I'm not interested in whatever they're offering.

I have gotten a phone call from this number several times, they claim that I owe large sums of money in loans, and that I am in trouble for fraud. They said that they are law enforcement, I do not believe that at all. They harass me over the phone, and have called before, saying that they have a warrant for my arrest, and that they were going to send local law enforcement to pick me up at my home. I told them yes****ay that I do not know of what they are talking about. It is quite unsettling that they know certain information about me. They asked me if I wanted to go to jail? I have been a victim of fraud before and fear that others are trying to scare me into paying money I do not owe to anyone. They told me they would settle for $885.45. I would like to put a stop to this, it is most aggravating to me. Who ever they are, they are the ones who need to go to jail.
