The payday loan lawsuit emailFAKE DEBT
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
Hi Maria, a reminder that your minimum payment of $35.00 is due on Oct 28.
Your balance is $412.60. You can pay any time in the Capital One app or at capitalone.com.
Already paid? Thanks, you can ignore this email.
A lawsuit will be filed against you in county court today for an unpaid payday loan of $1,120.00.
If you do not settle within 24 hours, the court will order your wages garnished and your case will be sent to collections.
To stop the lawsuit, pay a settlement of $640.00 by Zelle, or reply with your debit card number.
Always check the payment.
A "legal department" on a free Outlook address says you will be sued today unless you pay by Zelle or send your card number by reply. Real lenders and courts send letters, and never settle a lawsuit by email.
capitalone@notification.capitalone.com is Capital One's own address.
cashnow.legal.dept@outlook.com is a free Outlook account, not a law firm or a lender.
Pay your usual bill in the app or on the website, by the due date.
Settle $640 today by Zelle, or reply with your debit card number.
A due date weeks away.
A lawsuit and a garnished paycheck "within 24 hours".
RememberA real debt is never settled by Zelle to a stranger or by emailing your card. Look up the company yourself and call them.
