Federal Burreau of Legislation Peter Jackson and Jason A guy with a hevy Indian accent called me saying that an arrest warrent had been issued for me for failure to pay a payday loan. That I was required to go to court in California and appear with a frau not given, California

First and foremost - there is no such thing as the Federal Bureau of Legislation, nor would any enforcement entity in this country legally be allowed to call and demand ANY kind of payment in regard to an arrest warrant. (They also won't call you to let you know they've got one - they'll just find you and arrest you. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to call the subject of an arrest warrant and clue 'em in on it, does it?)

Second - You got LUCKY, hoss. You should have never, EVER handed over that information in the first place. Though, now that there's a record of them trying to charge your card only to have it decline, you might be in possession of a piece of evidence your local DA might want to have if this is a widespread problem in your area.

Finally - That red flag should've popped up about two seconds into the call, not all the way to the point that the "company" in question is asking how much is in your bank account. NEVER EVER EVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE PHONE! I don't care if it's to Bank of America and you intimately know the rep asking for the information. DON'T DO IT. You're just asking for trouble if you do.

Congratulations on your lucky break there. Hopefully if this ever happens to you again, you won't need to hope that the scammer's not so greedy that they try to overdraw.

 

Never give your bank account #s to any scammer they can wipe it out. The next time he calls tell him that a very bad curse has placed on him . Tell him if he calls again this curse will cause something bad to happen to him and his family.

These scumbags are nothing but scammers - if/when they call you back let them know YOU know they are scammers and hang up.
