I received a call from this number saying that there is a fraud suit against me. They were calling me on behalf of a cash advance that I applied for in the past. They said that I owe a balance of $398.00. My question to this person was how come this is the first time hearing about this. Since the company has my address, why didn't the contact me by mail and I would have resolved it at that time. I am not handing over any money until I can verify the information. This is not the first time that I have received calls about this. I check my bank statements frequently and the cash advances that I applied for have been deducted from my account. I would appreciate an investigation into this matter.
I did the same thing out of fear the letter that the guy emailed me said he was an attorney and had an official looking stamp! Looking back, I would definitely have checked into it more, but was scared that I was going to jail. At the time, I had a couple of outstanding payday loans, so I panicked. I also am out $458, expensive lesson to learn. NEW RULE: Don't borrow money!!! And definitely don't pay a bill that I am not 100% sure of.
THIS MAN CONTINUES TO CALL MY NUMBER AND LEAVE DUMB THREATENING MESSAGES ABOUT LEGAL STUFF, COURT AND JAIL. HE ALSO MENTIONED ME LOSING MY JOB. THOSE ARE NOT MY CONCERN, WHEN I CALLED HIM BACK AND TOLD HIM I WAS RECORDING OUR CONVERSATION HE GOT SCARED AND HUNG UP. THIS IS A SCAM. I WILL SAY YES I OWE THE MONEY BUT INDIAN UNPROFESSIONALISM IS NOT THE WAY TO GET A POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM ME. I CALLED THE EDELSON AND ASSOCIATES THAT HE CLAIMS HE WORKS FOR AND THEY NEVER HEARD OF HIM.
Same Number, same deal. I called them back a number of times and they won't answer now. They attempted to impersonate a lawyer in a law firm, Edelson and Associates. You can call the number and if you speak with anyone, it's clear they are not too intelligent. After refusing to give them any information and repeatedly asking them for some information, the person got spooked and hung up.
