I have received information stating I owe Arrowhead Investments $1250 for a $300 payday loan from 2006.
Here are some interesting facts you need to consider BEFORE sending them any $ - Person I was dealing with is James Carter.
Arrowhead Investments listed 4492 South Side Blvd, 102 as their address in District Heights, MD. Phone number I have is a cell phone # for the Jacksonville, FL area (904 area code). I was told to send money via money gram or western union...both go to a PERSON named Dorian Taylor in Dstrict Heights, MD.
ALSO - I received same sort of complaint about another payday loan from Total Lending, Inc./ United Pay Services. FUNNY THING - they had the same street address listed for their company on an email I received but it was for Indio, California. Once again...California address, Washington state phone number but they were in FL. They told me they were an undercover team and they didn't have to disclose any information about their company to me when I asked for legit information. I spoke with James Brown, David Brown, Joe Kingman (they all sounded the same with a heavy accent from India area of the world). This company wanted me to pay with a pre-paid debit card. They had scared me in to paying $200 via western union back in July of 2008. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant so I didn;t argue too much.
I had "arranged" to send them money tomorrow (Arrowhead Investments) but based on more research here on the internet, I am not paying anything.
Please do research before you pay anything to anyone like this where you get called out of the blue.
They threatened to send the authorities out as well as part of their scare tactics. Has anyone actually had the authorities come out. I spoke with a sheriff about this and they said that in order for there to be a warrant out on you - someone from the company would have to come to where you live and go before a magistrate - or something like that and not to worry about it.
Don't send them anything - this is a real scam! I called Total Lending and Arrowhead Investments and spoke with people who actually work for the company...I don't owe anything. The payday loans were paid in full. I explained what was going on to persons at both companies and they said it was a scam! Do not send $ as they are trying to scam you out of it. I did not go to jail...the authorities did not come to get me.
I spoke with a sheriff in my area and he said that this is a common scam but unless the person on the other end of the phone comes to your city/county and goes before a magistrate, they can't do anything. These are the same people claiming to be working for various different companies trying to scam people out of $.
I received a call last week from a guy Andy Groff and also Jim Stones. They claim they work for Litigation and Credit Services. He actually gave me an address after a heated discussion. I asked for documentation to be sent as I would not do anything unless i knew it was legit...I got an email that was just typed. Words were mis-spelled and the email did not make complete sense.
I emailed back and no response. I had told them not to call me at work as they would get me fired. I got a call again today and spend 15 minutes arguing with him. I told him I needed time to check the legitimacy of this. Being scammed before, i know this is a scam. I already blocked one # from my work phone. This is probably the third time i have been harassed. I told him I could not pay anything unless he was willing to accept $10 per week. I have a tight budget and a child to raise. He laughed at me. I told him I was hanging up and he was not to call me at work again.
I really wish there was something that could be done about these people. I am unable to find any information about the company he gave me even being a real company. I have checked on the Florida Secretary of State site in the corporations section. No business with name came up under the reverse address search either.
SCAMMERS
Please do some research before you do anything. Type the numbers in to google or yahoo and you will see tons of complaints. One is a Pittsburgh # and the other is a Philidelphia number.
If they call back - DEMAND SOMETHING IN WRITING FROM THEM, DEMAND YOU GET THEIR COMPANY NAME, ADDRESS, ETC. DO NOT ACCEPT NO FOR AN ANSWER. KEEP DEMANDING IT.
TELL THEM YOU NEED SOMETHING IN WRITING AND YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE WITH YOUR BANK.
If you get any info from them or even with the phone numbers, make reports to the Attorney General, FTC, FCC and even the FBI.
I have received several of these calls from phone numbers across the country. All are men with very American names that have heavy Indian accents. They are usually not willing to give you the information you ask for but if they do= check it out.
IF and that is a big IF you get some information, search to see if it is a legit address. Check company name in correlation to the address. The last one I delt with, the people (scammers) were using a real company's name in CA but had a bogus address. I contacted the real company and they are working on the situation also as they had had many complaints.
do your research!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I got a call from this bot from several numbers from various states. Same exact message every time.
One of the numbers was [protected] and this number, [protected], as well as [protected].
The other numbers I blocked and deleted the messages.
I've never done a payday loan, Ever; so I know for a fact it's bogus.
It mentioned an old name of mine and said they received a formal complaint against my name and social security number and they wanted to retain a statement of intent. It ran off a string of numbers that I don't know, it wasn't my social security number, and wanted me to call [protected]. I never called the bot back.
Will be blocking yet another number...
I received a call from [protected] stating they had a complaint against my name and social security number on behalf of Arrowhead Investments for a payday loan with a call back number of [protected]. I never signed any paperwork with this company for any loans. When I stated this, the collector said "ok" and ended the call. BOGUS company trying to strong-arm money from people. The collector calls every blue moon. Nothing in the mail and nothing on my credit report. Also found this company has a government action against them for a class action lawsuit. http://www.bbb.org/utah/business-reviews/payday-loans/arrowhead-investments-in-salt-lake-city-ut-22012330
@ Michelle8169 - - DON'T PAY THEM ANYTHING! Think about it...what law firm calls you on the phone to tell you they are going to serve you with court papers? My husband is a police officer. I got the same call and continue to get it every day, BUT I DON'T RETURN THEIR CALLS. IT IS A TOTAL SCAM. What they did was hacked into the computer system and pulled all of your personal information from online possibly from a payday loan that you may have done 7 years ago or so. Then they use it against you fraudulenty to make you think you committed a crime. THESE ARE SCARE TACTICS THAT FELON CRIMINALS USE TO BULLY YOU INTO SENDING THEM MONEY. DO NOT SEND THEM A DIME, DO NOT RETURN THEIR CALLS. i filed a case with my local sheriff's office as well as I filed a complant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on their website, and the Attorney General's Office on their website as well. If more people would do that, we can shut these ruthless criminals down for good. What they are doing is illegal, but if you don't stand your ground when they call, you are only feeding in to their games. DON'T ALLOW THEM TO RUIN YOUR DAY OR SCARE YOU. They are no one and hold no power. BE SMART AND DISREGARD THEIR CALLS.
HELP...I received a automatic call from Frank Jacobs, that he is going to serve me if i didnt come up with $1500, if i didnt paid they would issue a warrant for my assest. i am a single mom, what do i do? number is [protected]
I just received a call from a 0000 number and a voice message to contact them at [protected]. I tried 4 times and received messages each time until finally getting a live person. That person said I owed for a payday loan that was paid back in 2007 and by mistake to another collection agency last year. I am tired of these payday loan companies that hire these collection agencies to get money from you that you don't owe. Please help me. I am not working and can't afford to be scammed by any more of these companies that think they can harass people. I have paid my loans and need representation-legally to get these people to stop bothering me while I recover from heart surgery.
i jsaying i owed ust got a call from someone saying they was an ivestigating service they put me on hold then a women got on the phone with all my information saying i owed 700 dollars telling me that a collection ageny has sent out 47 letters to collect all i did was inquire about a loan and then declined now they telling me im going to bee arrested for check fraud when i asked the lady for some proof and her name and address she said she did not have to give it to me so when i started to get a little pissed she said i was going to be arrested what to do
I too, have received a call from someone named Neil Johnson saying he is from Law Investigation with a phone number [protected]. He said I took out payday loan for $480 and now I owe over $800 to $1200. He said if I do not pay it they can have me arrested. He said I could pay $480 now and that would be it. I told I did not have that kind of money and I agreed to pay him $100 which I did and he said when can I pay the another $200. I told I could not pay $200 but I could another $100 at the end of February 2010. Another phone number he has is [protected]. He also has indian accest where you can hardly understand what he is saying. Is this a scam? Should continue to pay him?
