Bogus Debt Collection
I was contacted by a Kevin Lloyd, who had a middle eastern or indian accent on a friday using the number 347 286 7375. The message was left on my cell phone which is used for emergencies only. I check messages periodically. On Saturday, I called the number back. The answering message was for King's County Supreme Court Criminal Term. So I left a message for Kevin Lloyd since in his message he expressed it was a legal concern and important that myself or my attorney call back or legal actions would be taken against me. Monday morning I received a call. I let him speak until he started talking about court and blah, blah. He got upset when I asked him what was the nature of the account, what was the company, the amount, and when was I supposedly received this loan, and how I applied for it. I disputed it and said it was not me because he gave a recent date. I can remember clearly if I received money from a loan. Besides I am not working so how would I get a payday loan? He hung up on me. I called back until someone else answered. I asked the same questions and told them the same thing except I got rude this time. I told them do not call my mf phone again cause I am not stupid--you are trying to scam me and you will not get anything. I also told them to go back to their own country and scam them. I even followed up with calling the court house to make a complaint. The complaint office receptionist checked the number while I was on hold. When she returned she informed me that it was not a number in the court or did an attorney Kevin Lloyd work there. She advised me not to send any money cause if it were a court matter I would not receive a phone call or be demanded to send money. I let her know that the number even has a message box that announces them as King's County Supreme Court Criminal Term. Also that others have done like I did and followed up by calling the court house. Take my advice and cuss them out and don't send them a dime.
