Dear KCTV Five news or Blue Springs News Department or other local Missouri Stations:
I have been receiving non stop calls from this person who claims that I took out a payday loan or internet loan in February 2011 to April 2011 that was unpaid and never made attempts to pay on. This person has called my home number, cell phone number, and continues to call my workplace even after I told him to stop contacting me at work since he has my home, cell, and personal and banking contact information. This person also mentioned personal references of two female friends I have known well who where used as personal references on a loan application in which I believe I never took out in the first place. My personal references should have never been mentioned because they are only to be contacted if I cannot be located by any other means and I told them that if this person calls them to just let it o to their voice mail or just do not take the call or try to hold a conversation with him. It has gotten to the point to where I am not only going to file harassment charges but this person was asked by me to send a letter in writing to me that I owe this debt in order to proof that it is valid legal debt. He told me over the phone that he is not authorized to send me any documentation but just some documentation from his law firm and a letter to my job and from the courthouse. Since I never received any previous collection letters from this person who claims to represent a payday loan or previous loan then I told him that I'm not going to write a letter confessing that I owe him or his law firm 427 dollars as a payment to settle the account to the creditors along with my signature at all until he sends me a letter in writing proving so. So I saved all of his voice mails on my home phone, cell phone, and documentated his calls to my workplace. My managers have warned me that his harassing calls come at all hours of the day and he even calls past 8pm at night when it is illegal to do so for any debt collector. My home, cell, and work numbers are on the Missouri Attorney Generals do not call list and it is on the international registry as well. Sometimes its a lady that calls my workplace as well as a man and at times it can be comical as well since this person posing as a debt collector isn't very smart in backing up his claims to think that me and others wouldn't document his calls or research his claims because this is a cross border scam as well. It is also in the website the rip off report by another Stacey who lives in Pittsburgh in which I would have to get permission from rip off report to publish her story as well. I know everyone that I owe money to and even if it was a valid debt collection from a loan or payday loan since I never received any collection letters in writing then there would have been several letters sent to my home address to collect a debt even before legal action is to be taken against me. It sounds like a man with a middle eastern accent and since he has called my workplace then I'm up front at my job working the register and the managers or other coworkers have answered the phone when this person calls me. I told them I'm not taking any calls and to just tell him to not contact me anymore or I will file harassment charges and other claims as well. My manager Mike Meyer told me he has called me three times at work and that he is about to file a lawsuit against him because he told me that I could possibly get fired my job because of the policy of receiving personal calls on a business landline in which I do not believe an employer can legally fire me especially when I have told this man that I cannot be contacted at work and that I never told him to call my work in the first place since his has my home and cell phone numbers so he should have never called me at work in the first place to begin with. I have already filed this police report in independence, mo police department and I will file a report in the Blue Springs police department and file a complaint with the BBB in MO, the MO attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, DC and other agencies as well. This person has probably tried it with other people in scaring them to pay a debt that they probably don't owe so who knows how much money he has scammed or conned people out of. In addition to this I also had a guy who claims that he was a Christian lending company overseas that I wired 90.00 plus a western union fee which totals 101.99 and this guy also wanted me to send a 331 tax fee to get a loan of 10,000 that had no fees in the first place so I filed a fraud complaint with western union and I suspect this may be the same person or he could be a different person as well but they are both scammers trying to pose as trustworthy collectors or lenders in which they will be found out sooner or later. I also have to protect my identity since this person has claimed there where some serious charges under my name, ssn then I never appeared in oourt with their attorney and never appeared before a judge or found guilty or not guilty of these charges so thats another issue of making threats of losing my job, getting arrested, and other surprises that he says in his voice mail left on my cell and home phone. This isn't the only person who has tried to scam me as I have had two separate loan companies who wanted me to send them upfront money or fees for an unsecured personal loan that I was already approved for by verifying some information beforehand. I told them I'm not sending them any money to borrow money and if I had the money to send them I wouldn't have to borrow it in the first place since I need a personal loan or grant since I'm in college now and financial aid doesn't cover everything at all.
