Scam Description
My husband received a call from a conpany saying they were having trouble getting documents delivered to us. When he asked what they were about the person on the phone said he was unable to give out that information. They gave my husband a file number and the comany name Jackson Avery and Associates with a number to call. My husband called the number and gave them the file number he was given. The person on the other end of the phone proceeded to tell my huband he had taken out a pay day advance loan in 2014. That was ten years ago! My husband told them he had no knowledge of this and he felt it was not accurate. They had many details about him including our current address, phone number, and last four of his social. They also had past information inculding his ex wife, thier past address, past place of work, ect. However they information they gave him did not add up time wise. They told him the loan he had taken out at 625 had compounded interest over the past ten years reaching just over 2000$! They said we could counter offer and probably settle for the original $625. My husband again said he did not recognize this transaction and that he wanted to discuss it with me. They agreed to call back tomorrow. After researching both businesses that called we have come to find out this is a massive SCAM! We will see if they call back tomorrow. These scams are getting scary good with how much information they possessed! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!
