I recieved a phone call from a number AT WORK that told me I was being taken to court by this man claiming to work for the law firm and that I had to be in court tomorrow. This is not right, and if it was true, no documents have been mailed.
This guy left a message and I spoke with him while I was at work. He can does not speak clear english, will not tell me who he is with and asks for all sorts of personal info. I don't think so. All he would say is he's with The Law Firm. yeah whatever pal! So what happened to those of you who spoke with him.
A person with one of the strongest Indian accents I have ever heard called and threatened my husband and myself with a lawsuit or JAIL over a payday loan that we did not take out. (Not to mention the headache from the background noise, it was like talking to someone in front of a jet engine.)
I checked through three years of bank statements, and there was no 'cashnet.com'. The few PDLs we had to take out in emergencies have all been paid off (I printed and kept all four of the contracts).
When I told him that in Texas the owner of the phone can tape their own conversations and I was taping all of his threats--all of which were illegal under Federal law and Texas law--he really freaked out. He told me his name was 'David Jones' (er, right), and that either my husband or I had to call the office at 201-234-4715.
What really bothered me is the guy didn't have our names, refused to send any form of documentation by fax, email, or snail mail, and I truly believe the whole thing was a setup to get our SSNs and other info. The only thing the guy had was our phone number.
Some woman called me saying she is calling from "the law firm" and I need to call back ASAP or my attorney. I called back and a rude man that also had a heavy Indian accent tells me that I have a lawsuit filed againist me by Cashnet and they gave me a payday loan back in March (not true as I never got one) and that they are having me arrested in the morning and I have a court date on Monday morning at 11am. I have never been contacted by any form of court or police. They want over $5000 from me and everyone I tell about it thinks its a scam. It has to be since I never got a loan from this company. I am thinking another company sold my information to these scammers. I am going to contact Cashnet and see what they have to say.
OMG!!! I just received a few calls from some people with VERY heavy Indian like accents claiming to be from a MOnroe something law frim in LA and said I have a lawsuit filed against me for a $300 loan I NEVER took out in JAN 2009...the thing was this person knew my name and who i was before he even answered the phone or i ever spoke.. they also knew my current bank name and even some references they named but I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY WOULD GET THIS INFO. the thing that was fishy was I havent had that bank too long so I dint have it in Jan 2009 when they claim the funds were transferred to my acct...I told him that and I stated I have my statements to prove it and he was SO RUDE and said take it to court and we will show our proof against you...he spoke too fast when reading the supposable affidavit he read me my rights which made no sense why he would do that.... and i hardly understood a word and when i asked to speak to someone witha uthority or written documents he said no that he will see mein jail and hung up....WHAT THE HELL!!!! hOW WOULD HE KNOW all this info if I know better than to EVER provide it on the web??? what should I do?
