Don't be a victim of this scam associated with this phone number.

Today a phone call came in to one of our vendors. The caller claimed that they were with a warrant processing center and that a payday loan (that had been paid in full) had the final payment missing and was therefore in default. The caller then began to terrify our vendor with threats of jail/prison time for "check fraud" via payday loan default. Our vendor was told that she had until 5pm to get a moneygram with the amount owed plus fees for default and fees for the warrant status and wire it to the collectors. This is a fraudulent situation. I think they have already gotten someone else in my family with the idea that a payday loan payment was missed and jail time was soon to follow. The call today came in from a toll free number 855-345-6112. We called the District Attorney's office to verify whether or not a warrant existed. There was not one. This scam was reported to the District Attorney's office, who in turn advised us to report this type of identity fraud/theft to the Federal Trade Commission. If you receive a similar call, CALL THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BEFORE YOU MAKE A PAYMENT! Watch for the above number...DON'T BE A VICTIM!
