Scam Description
The caller said I had taken out a pay day type loan with EZ Money prior to 2019. They said if I didn’t settle immediately, they would subpoena me and freeze my accounts. I have not taken out any such loan. When I asked them to provide the original documentation, they just referred back to EZ Money or other type pay day loan companies. What is disconcerting is that they had my SSN, email, place of employment from 2019 and my bank name. Unfortunately, before I realized this was a scam, I confirmed the last 4 of my SSN and my email. I did not give out any banking information. Once I realized this was a scam, I hung up. I then called my bank to let them know and then called the credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on my accounts since they have my SSN.
