(972) 798-3106

GOT A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER TODAY THEY SAID I OWE A PAYDAY LOAN FROM A YEAR AGO AND IF I IGNORE I WOULD BE ARRESTED AND HAD TO GO TO COURT WHEN I TOLD HIM TO EMAIL ME THE LAW SUIT HE SAID HE HAD TO GET PERMISSION FROM HIS SUPERVSOR AND HE WOULD CALL ME BACK . BUT HE DID NOT CALL ME I KNEW IT WAS A SCAM

2/28/11: I received a phone call at 7:30am from these people. The middle-eastern sounding man on the phone started out pleasant enough with "how is your day today?", but as soon as I said it is very early in the morning and "what do you want", he became very verbally abusive and threatened me with "arrest" & "JAIL". I informed him that I know his company is a scam, and whatever he is selling or trying to get out of me I am not interested in. I hung up. He then called me three more times, each time screaming a profanity into the phone and then hanging up. (He called me an insolent b**ch, then a "godless mother f****er", etc.) OK, here is the deal: Actual collection agencies in the United States are legally bound to collection laws under the FDCPA. Under the FDCPA, they cannot call at unreasonable hours, they cannot call repeatedly to harras, cannot use profanity or threats, cannot "pose" as law enforcement or threatened arrest or imprisonment, must provide documentaion by mail of the alleged debt, etc., etc.---I could go on and on about how many laws these guys are breaking. But here is the thing--these are laws for debt collectors in the UNITED STATES. These idiots are from another country altogether, so yes, they basically can do and/or say whatever they want on the phone. They CAN'T, however, follow up with any of those threats, so you can ignore them, tell them it's a wrong number, etc. (What ever method you chose to get them to stop calling.) I myself decided to just give them a taste of their own medicine, and started calling back over and over. The guy on the other end was screaming profanities on the other end, and I would just hang up. I finally decided after 5 calls to quit, because he literally sounded like he was going to have an anurism or the top of his head explode or something. On the 6th call back, he started screaming right off the bat, so I siad very quietly (so he would have to shut up to hear me), "do you want to make a deal?" He stopped and asked what deal, so I told him, "it's obvious you don't like being harrassed and neither do I; so the deal is if you stop calling me, I will stop calling you." He then sang (yes SANG) "we will, we will F**K YOU", and said he is "coming to pull $7000 out of your a**" (that is funny, because I have never purchased anything for $7000 in my life, so this definitely is a scam), and that "you and everyone in your family will have mouths full of sh*t." So I asked quietly again, "is it a deal?" He then said "you are free to do whatever you want, I will not speak with you again." I took that as a yes, told him I won't call as long as he doesn't call me and hung up. 3/1/11: I received another call from these idiots at my work, and then they called my cell phone again. This time the number wa 972-798-3106, but it's the same lowlife from 817-210-4060. I waited until it was after business hours, called back to the voicemail and left a message stating that I was the legal representation for a client (myself), and that after researching, it is obvious they are operating illegally. I also said, "regardless of how many times you call, or different numbers you call, my client WILL NOT release any monies to you. I strongly suggest you spend your time on someone else, as this harrassment will never result in any profit to you." We will see if it works... 3/2/11: Here is an update, thought you all might find this interesting and maybe even a good suggestion: S­hawn called again Wednesday morning and this time told me that it was a serious legal matter of $7000. I asked him, "OK, I give up--tell me what the $7000 is for?" He said it concerned my mortgage, and if I didn't pay $7000 by 5pm that my house on "XXX Magnolia Way" would be foreclosed on. Here is the funny inside scoop: First of all, I haven't lived at that address for 3 years. Second, I was renting...I did not own it much less have a mortgage. Third (and this is the real biggy)-THAT HOUSE BURNED DOWN TO THE GROUND ON 9-11-2008. So I told Shawn, "well, I don't have that kind of money, so go ahead and foreclose on it" (I had a hard time doing this without laughing). He said "what????", was silent for a long time, and then said, "we are F***ing SERIOUS, we will foreclose it!" I stiffled my laughter and said, "I know you're serious, so just foreclose on it" and hung up. OK, I had a good laugh about that, but then I decided why stop the fun there? I went online, and I looked up every free insurance quote, every free vacation offer, every FREE spam anything that I could find and filled the "have an agent contact me" forms out with HIS name (Shawn Li) and HIS phone numbers (817-210-4060 & 972-798-3106)­. Hopefully his line is ringing off the hook with telemarketers calling HIM now. It was so simple, I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. Hopefully every scammer from here to eternity is now calling and harrassing HIM. Keep in mind...the only reason I did this to him is because he is an out-of-country scam artist; he is not a legitimate debt collector. If you are receiving calls from a LEGITMATE debt collector, I would definitely not advise doing this. But on the other hand, just think--if all of us getting scam calls from a specific number did this? Their phones would be so busy getting spammed themselves, they would not be able to call out to us. Just a thought...
