Consumer Fraud Payday Loan Scam Alert!

[army judge]

Here's a new scam folks.

I got this information from a friend of mine.

He's a Senior Investigator with the US Army Criminal Investigation Division.

These crooks are going after our active duty military personnel, especially spouses of deployed service members.

They also target older people, and folks on disability, or with lower incomes!

How utterly despicable in my book!

It seems that if you've ever had a payday loan, the payday loan scammers sell your personal information to other parties.

These other parties are even MORE unscrupulous than the payday loan shysters.

Most of these new scammers operate off shore in some underdeveloped or undeveloped cesspool.

These crooks will contact you and allege that you owe them a sum of money.

It isn't a large sum of money, so that lowers your alert mode.

Often they say that you MUST pay $200, $300, or some other small amount.

They state that if you don't pay within three, four hours (or by close of business), you'll be arrested.

They sometimes state that they are police officials.

Now the worst part is this.

You don't owe these crooks a dime.

You may have obtained a payday loan in the past.

But, you paid it off.

Most of these crooks use (or are actually using) an accent, not of US origin.

If this happens to you, don't be scared.

Remain calm and try to get all of the information you can about these crooks.

They often "spoof" numbers, but IF you play along, they'll give you a good number.

This is especially true if you say you need a couple hours to get the money.

Now, don't give these crooks a dime.

But, do report them to the Better Business Bureau, your local police agency, your telephone provider, your local newspaper or television station, and the police agency in your area.

Stay alert out there people.

These crooks are desperate for your hard, earned money!!!!!

This probably a scam.

They have worked this "con" from the sub-continent nation recently.

I would never speak to these crooks.

They want to steal your money.
