They asked about an acquaintance I see rarely and then said he had borrowed 448 dollars on a payday loan and used me as a reference and i would be responsible to pay it. An indian accent in a noisy room. Identified himself as Jean Paul.
I got a call from this number ... they left a message that I didn't understand.. they called my work, cell, and boyfriends cell too. I returned the call and the mailbox was full and generic.
I am sick of these people calling me someone name Steven but he cant tell me any info except that I owe them money from a lawsuit, he wont send anything in the mail he says its illegal for him to do that, they call me all day long and if I dont answer the just hit redial and continue to call me, THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGALL WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THESE PEOPLE???
Starting to get a call from an Attorney Barry who is full of it. He says that I owe money to CashNet and said that sheriff will come looking for me. He keeps calling my office as well.
Received several messages from this number from a person with a very heavy Indian/Pakistani accent. He says that his name is "officer" something or other, and that it is very time-sensitive, and I need to call him back immediately. He also says that if I don't return his call the moment I receive the message, I will face consequences. Then, at the end of the message, he says that if I don't call back he wishes me good luck.
Information I got from him when I returned the call:
"Attorney Christopher Barry"
Being sued under Section 9, Chapter 19. (of what code?)
By CashNet Marketing USA
Count 1 Violation of Federal Banking Regulations
Count 2 Theft By Deception
Count 3 (couldn't understand).
Now, I looked up CashNet Marketing, and it's a Payday loan company. We applied for one through them several months back, but never heard back from them, so they had my full identity information, including SSN. That concerns me.
He asked for my attorney's information, and acted overly surprised when I said I'd never heard of this situation before. He told me I could forward a lump sum to their office to settle the suit, but that he couldn't send me any paperwork through the mail since I didn't have an attorney already on the case, because it's "sensitive documents."
Number based out of New York City. I'm reporting this to the FCC, and the NY Attorney General's Office. I encourage everyone to do the same; these are scam artists, and they're trying to take advantage of people.
