I've received a letter via USPS, not a certified letter, just in a white envelope. The letter states that due to severe delinquency of previous installment loan originating with EZMONEY (a subsidiary of EZCORP) the account is reviewed for immediate legal action (filing a lawsuit) against me. I've never taken a loan or borrowed any money of any kind from a company like this. It's a total scam. They're using public information and extremely old work history to try and exploit money from me. These people need to be stopped.

Etc. she said the burden of responsibility was on me. I told her that under the law I was entitled to these documents. She hung up on me.

Called my cell phone number and provided me with my first and last name. Then said it was an attempt to collect a debt. I have no idea who Easy Corp is and have no debt with anyone. I was threatened by the scammer stating they would be garnishing my pay check.

They called my phone regarding my son. Said they were a process server needing to schedule time to deliver summons to appear because of lack of response. The address they supposedly sent the notice to was 20 years ago. My phone is in no way linked to my 40+ y/o son but that's what they called. After some wrangling I spoke to a Dillon James. He said my son was being sued for $5567.19 for an outstanding debt to Wells Fargo FROM 2009, this is 2024! They claim he had an overdraft of $2694.91 & w/penalties and interest it's now $5700.00. I said he/we (they only used my address) never got ANY notifications, let alone an initial charge. He said, in that case, he can send this back to his attorneys to try to get rid of the penalties and we can deal with it outside of court. I said "Fine. You do that and when we get the paperwork we'll have our attorney look at it. We will require proof of the debt." He suddenly got all pissy and said "Forget it, you can argue it in front of the judge!". The thing is, there are statute of limitations on debt collection and this was 15 years past that time. Plus, once an institution charges off a debt, they can no longer add interest or penalties. What does trouble me is that they asked him to verify his DOB but had the last 4 of his SSN. Plus they had our addresses and information on an account that he actually had at one point. As an accountant I don't fall for scams ever, but this one had me concerned enough to contact my attorney just in case. The phone number they provided to call was 1-866-880-3418

Stated they were collecting money that was an unpaid "payday" loan for a company EZMoney. That they were going to file a lawsuit if I did not pay. Stated it was filed in an unnamed US District Court. The letter had a very small "Filed" stamp on it stating it was filed "Internally" on September 16, 2023.

A debt collector called asking for Jarred Cook to call 866-551-0880. I called to inform them that Mr. Cook had my cell phone number about 10 years ago. In a nasty tone she then said oh it is you we are look for regarding a pay day loan on May 20, 2016 using my SS number and a DOB near my DOB. She said it was for $2,398.00 and it has a payoff amount of $550.58. I told her that I did not get a loan in 2016 and have never heard about it before. She said she is going to send it to my Credit Bureau report. I told her I think she is scamming me and I am going to report her and she hung up or did not say anything further.

Myself, spouse and brother-in-law all received phone calls from a number appearing to be from in-state from a "Mr. Gonzalez" claiming to be from EZ Corp on the dates of 12/01, 12/02 and 12/04 saying I owed $1080 to a payday loan group in Stillwater, Oklahoma (where I used to live) and that it needed to be collected immediately. I did not answer the calls as they were from an unknown number, but they called twice and left two voicemails. My brother-in-law answered a phone call on 12/01, and he recognized this as a potential scam. When he mentioned law enforcement, the person on the phone cursed at him and hung up on him. He called back to confront them, and after a few times calling, they quit answering his calls. My spouse also received several calls from them. When he first spoke to them, they tried getting personal information about me from him, but he didn't provide anything. They haven't answered any further calls from him.

Scammer has called four time and leaves voice mail but no call back numbers. I called number that the party was calling from and a guy answered Midland Recovery, a collection agency for some cash payday loan back in 2018. I've not taken any payday loan. I asked him (kyle) to send me a letter and he said they had my information and would pursue a court order in my jurisdiction. I asked him to send a letter via email and refused. He merely said I would be sued and I didn't need to have a letter.

They started by calling and texting 5 of my family members. I called the phone number heated. They asked for one of their phone numbers, and I refused, fear of additional fraud. They gave me a lot of personal information and stated that I took out a load that was taken in 2015. I did not recall taking out a loan. When asked for more info he stated Easymoney-(my last name). I stated that i had not used that type of loan. I asked if they could give me the contact info for EasyMoney. He refused and stated his company owned the loan. He stated a job that I put down that pre-dated 2015, an address that pre-dated 2015 and a bank I had closed/not used since 2018. No notice was ever sent to my old address nor email. When I asked for written documentation, he refused and stated "This is not going anywhere and we can bring this to court" my response was I would love to resolve this issue if proper documentation could be given. He refused to put me to a supervisor. All info given can easily been found through Google and old records.
