I received a call on my cell phone from Universal Lending Group (685-497-3580) at 7:40AM my time. The caller had a thick foreign accent and told me I was eligible for a $1500 loan. I did not give him any info, but asked for his phone number, which he refused to give me (I got it from caller ID instead). I told him that the call was illegal because my number is on the Do Not Call List, and told him not call my number again. Even after that, he persisted in trying to sell me a loan! I hung up.

Universal Lending Group called me from 212-789-6543 and asked to speak to me about a opportunity for a payday loan of $500.00. The first thing that they asked me for was my birthdate. I gave that to them. Then I got suspicious because they started asking me about my employment and how often I get paid.

I asked the representative who he was with and he told me that he was with Universal Lending Corporation. I looked that up on google and got to thier homepage. I immediately looked up the list of loan officers and asked him what his name was. He said "Jesu." I had him spell it. I looked him up and he wasn't on the list. I asked to speak to a manager and went through the same process and then I hung up. They tried redirecting me to paydaypickup.com but I just hung up because everything that came up from a google search brought up the word scam with it.

I hope this helps everyone out thier. Might I remind everyone to look up companies before they give thier information out? Google is a great search engine to uncover scams just by the name of the "company" that the scammer gives you.
