Total money lost $1,100

Type of a scam Debt Collections

A man name Justin *** called me back in March and told me that I had a web loan that was unpaid, and that I needed to pay $110 a month until the loan was paid or I would have a judgement against me or be served by a Sheriff. They schedule a monthly payment every month out of my checking account, which the last payment was 11/22/19 of $110. I called to get a receipt and confirmation that the loan was paid in full and all contact numbers were disconnected and the email that I sent to Justin *** and Paul *** has bounced back to me and was not a legit email or number and that’s when I knew that I had been scammed out of $1100.00! So I reported it to the FTC along with my bank and I closed that account and put in for a dispute of all the charges. I never thought I would be a victim or get scammed because I’ve always been careful. They got me and I just want my money back!

Call came in on my work phone. Caller sounded as if their voice was computerized. Stated who the call was for, stated that they were needing to verify employment for something and gave a case number. Saying that if I didn’t give them a call back to verify my information a complaint would be filed against me in my local county. They knew my place of employment, both locations. Knew both phone numbers and fax numbers. Even knew the name of the owner of the company aka my boss. When I questioned them telling them I didn’t want them contacting me at my work phone they stated that they had an appointment to call and speak with our HR department but it took them a minute to "locate" the name of the person they were supposed to talk to. We are not some big huge company with thousands of people in each department so it shouldn’t have been that hard to find the name. They eventually "warned" me that the call was being recorded and once I started asking more questions the lady I spoke with told me to have a good day and hung up.

On 03/04/2019 I received a phone call from the listed number requesting I settle a debt in the amount of $1703.17. The caller identified himself as, "Josh Brady" and stated he would settle it as a hardship for $998.00. When I declined to do so he stated I had 48 hours to settle the debt in the interest of Capital One. I contacted Capitlal One and they confirmed I have never had an account with them and there was not one in the recovery department of their company. On 03/05/2019 Josh agreed to let me do monthly payments, but when I advised him I contacted Lifelock he stated "You will be in court before I will" and slammed the phone down.
