Description

I am writing to formally report an ongoing and deeply frustrating scam involving repeated phone calls from individuals claiming to represent “Lending Union West.” These calls have become a daily disruption, often occurring multiple times a day and at all hours. On some days, I’ve received up to six calls. Initially, the caller identified herself as “Evelyn,” and more recently, the name “Janet” has been used. The calls always come from different phone numbers, making it impossible to block them effectively. The messages typically reference a loan application I never submitted and request personal information under the guise of finalizing approval. I understand from your recent alert that this is a widespread scam targeting individuals across Florida and beyond. The BBB has reported over 1,500 complaints in a short period, with similar messages from “Evelyn” or “Jessica,” all attempting to collect sensitive data like Social Security numbers and bank account details 1. I have not engaged with these callers, nor have I provided any personal information. However, the frequency and persistence of these calls are unacceptable and invasive. I am concerned not only for my own privacy but also for others who may be vulnerable to these tactics. Please advise on the best course of action to formally document this harassment and help prevent further victimization. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued efforts to protect consumers.
