The national office of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has warned consumers about debt collection calls coming from a company calling itself “National Fraud and Investigation Agency.” The BBB notes that the company is not real and that the calls are a debt collection scam.
The calls are asking for payments on defaulted online payday loans, a common debt sector for scammers. One consumer told the BBB that she never even took out a payday loan.
Fortunately, that consumer provided quite a bit of information to the BBB and the group began an investigation. The BBB could not find “National Fraud and Investigation Agency” registered anywhere. When one possible address was found, the group discovered it was actually the location of a courthouse in Cincinnati.
