They claimed my SSN and other paperwork were at risk, urging a callback while refusing to leave any sensitive details on voicemail, lol.
Payday Loan Scam Threats Revealed - +1 216-478-5402 ((216) 478-5402)

Expert Opinion
Block this number immediately to avoid falling for manipulative tactics. Scammers use vague voicemails about compromised Social Security details or fake payday loans to create panic, pushing you to call back and reveal info or pay up. Common ploys include threats of wage garnishment or court action, often escalating to aggression when challenged. Don't engage—hang up, report to authorities like the FTC, and monitor your credit for real breaches. If a voicemail drops without ringing, that's a red flag for spoofed spam. Stay skeptical of unsolicited calls claiming urgency during tax season; verify independently through official channels. Protecting your data starts with ignoring these hooks.

Transcribed voicemail: "Hey, this is Charles XXXXXXXX. I wasn’t expecting your message, but when you receive this, please call me. I'm reaching out because documents linked to your ID and SSN were sent to our office yesterday. Since it’s tax season, I want to safeguard your privacy and avoid leaving sensitive info on voicemail."
Got an identical voicemail; oddly, my phone never rang—it just showed up in the voicemail folder
After getting the same voicemail, I panicked because I'm in the middle of purchasing a house, but I was relieved to verify the number before returning the call.
A voicemail from this number warned of a possible data breach involving my private documents, prompting me to call back. The response was a scripted female voice accusing me of defaulting on a payday loan and demanding $3,000 to avoid wage garnishment—something irrelevant since I'm unemployed. I told her I was unaware, and she replied that they could garnish anyway. Definitely a scam; avoid it.
User marked it as bad, ugh.
Odd voicemail; when I returned the call from a landline, the line only rang
A caller claimed my spouse had payday loans and demanded immediate payment or a court summons. When I denied ever borrowing, she became hostile, I warned her the call was recorded, and she replied with “bring it on b*tch” before hanging up. Clearly a scam.
Looks like a scammy firm claiming you received a cash‑advance loan—totally fraud and intimidation to swipe your cash, man.
The message gave no reason for the call, just stating they wouldn't share personal details; I felt the same—probably a scam
Got no clue—just a weird, open‑ended voicemail, so I blocked it, man.
