Call from Officer Austin reguarding payday fraud with cashnet marketing. Stated I owed 1600.00, but would settle out of court for 650.00. Stated I was in trouble and being sued. Had all my personal info, as-well-as my two references. Said I needed to send CC info via fax on a notorized letter with an apology for payday loan fraud. I have had a loan in the past, but it was paid. He made me think that just maybe I did still owe the money. I never sent the info, calls about 10 times daily. Is this truly a fraudulent company? Do I just ignore the calls, or do I need to do something else? Will they stop calling?
This is so true, I am dealing with this now and will call the Attorney Generals office today. My God.
I knew it was something fishy, because I don't have a payday loan and Cashnet Marketing is not a real company and they would not send me any proof via fax or email of the payment that was being requested.
I started playing along with them and the truth came out.
Scam from 716-218-4042 saying they were from some Alan Cooper Department of Investigation and I needed to pay before Tuesday where some affidavit or legal (I was not able to understand his strong like arabic, or lebanese, or I am not sure what accent). That they could spare me from any legal action. The connection is very bad and when I asked why was it bad and why their caller ID does not show on the screen, he said because they were working as a private organization or something hard for me to understand. Anyway, he kept asking to pay before Tuesday or I would have to go to court or send my attorney. That I could have either option but if I paid them it had to be via Credit Card or Debit card only. When I asked why there were not sending this information via regular mail and in writing, he said that will follow.... yeah right?....what a scam... this is...I wanted to share it and remember to be alert and not afraid. Thanks for your stories also. They helped me
Lately, I've been bombarded with telemarketing calls from many different sources. So, I did some research on how to file complaints with the Do-Not-Call registry and the Federal Communications Commission. I found that it was easy to file a complaint on-line with each agency. Please file complaints using the following web links. I am going to start doing this for every unwanted telemarketing call I receive.
