Report

We received a letter in the mail indicating that my husband was being notified of a civil lawsuit and civil complaint from a loan he never opened. The loan was supposedly from an EZMONEY/EZCORP and it indicated that he was being accused of getting a loan and immediately closing an account and being flagged for malicious attempt to commit wire fraud. The phone number on the letter has no one answering phones and the address is for a US Postal Office. We contact our local police department and have reported the letter to our local Attorney General's office. I hope that people do not fall for this scam.

I received a collection letter from the legal group on behalf of a creditor called “EZMoney”. The letter was threatening legal action, wage garnishment, property lien and adverse credit reporting if I did not pay the amount by the due date. The letter contained my SS#, my credit score, personal property address, and the names of two people I know as potential witnesses to subpoena. I’ve never heard of EZ Money or EZ Corp. When I called the phone number, it took me to a voicemail.

Letter stating that I was severely delinquent on an installment loan that I tool out with EZ Money (subsidiary of EZCorp) while employed with a company that I have work at for 10 + years. They referenced both my current spouse and my ex-spouse, who they say are listed as references, as witnesses they will call to testify against me. I would NEVER list my ex as a reference for ANYTHING, let alone financial matters!. The letter accused me of immediately closed or changing my bank account that an ACH payment was to draw from and a civil court judgment was being sought for fraudulent activity. They also claim they will seek legal fees and courts costs if I do not immediately submit payment via mailed check or by going to their website.

Of note: The references website that they want to to visit to make payment "LOOKS" legit. DO NOT TRUST IT!

Called and left a voicemail on not only MY phone but someone related to me as well, describing how I received a payday loan over 11 years ago and never repaid. They stated they would garnish my wages; they had a relative's address, last 4 of social, old bank account info, and employment info from over 10 years ago.

I KNEW I never received a payday loan, ever. They tried to make me make a settlement to avoid the judgement tripling if I was to take it to court.

I will certainly make it my duty to report them, blast this phone number, and find the scammers involved and make sure they do not try to extort ANYONE else.

The letter said I had taken a Loan out while I worked with a certain Company 12 years ago, and immediately after taking loan I closed said Bank account to intentionally fraud them. They have my last 4 of s.s. # my latest address where I reside at this time. It said this was the 2nd attempt in this letter to collect this money, I don't know when the 1st was suppose to be. I paid one of these probably 2 years ago because it scared me. And I believe it was suggesting the same time period last time because of someone I was married to at the time, and now it's happening again. They sent no dates, no loan agreement with any signatures validating anything they claim. I put email address in the Website column because it would't take it in the email box it kept telling me it was invalid. Also they was asking for $1457.13 I guess i was trying to enter it in wrong.
