Scam Description
Received a letter stating it was a notification of lawsuit and civil complaint regarding a payday loan supposedly taken out many years ago. References an employer from over 10 years ago. Threatens a civil judgment that would result in wage garnishment or lien agonist property. Says they’ve noted the case with with a malicious intent to commit fraud and that they can subpoena my family members to testify against me. Uses very strong verbiage intended to scare you. Claims it was filed with the US District Court, even though debt claims are not filed through federal court. Nothing about it seemed right.
