I received the same disturbing call today. They mention that they are an "officer of the Federal Goverment and a warrant was going to be issued for me". Apparently, I was given a payday loan in May 2011 and when they tried to get their money back, it was returned. Funny thing is....I didn't even have this checking account in May. I printed out a bank statement just to prove to them that no such deposit of $300 was ever given to me and the man begin yelling at me. I was threated that I was going to jail if I did'nt comply. He then went on saying if I pay today with a credit card, I would not have to appear in court. After arguing with this non-English speaking person, I called the police and reported them. This is a complete scam and I'm sure many people out there fall for it, but I'm not one of them!!!
I also got a call from this number, it was from an Arab man named William Black identifying himself to be an Officer from the State of California. He too also told me that I was being sued for a pay day loan that I had not re-paid that I had deposited into my bank account, first which he told me was in August, then he changed the date to June. Before I caught on the fact that this was a scam, I told him that this was a mistake. He had all of my information, he began to threaten me and told me I was going to be sued and it was going to cost me thousands of dollars. I then told him I thought this was a scam and he was not an "Officer" of anything just some phone room caller and he began to get very angry and aggressive, calling me a stupid woman and told me their lawyers were going to "f@#" me hard in court...he was so disgusting. It was very harrassing, after reading all of these e-mails and dealing with their call yesteday I can't believe someone cannot shut down their number. Why do we have to continue to be harrassed? I filed a complaint with the FTC, and put an alert on my credit..I suggest everyone do the same.
will i was called and i was told i owed it and they needed money and what did i do i gave them $50 and they are to get $ 100 friday what do i do please help....
I started receiving calls today from Alex Johnson. He told me I had warrants out for my arrest for a payday loan I received in June from US Cash Advance. I never received a loan and they had my info. I told them that i did not receive a loan and he instructed me to call Mike Walker at 213-943-3055 (he called me from 323-696-1761 LSAN DA 09 CA). Alex is pretending to be with Hudson Law & Investigation. Mike is pretending to be from US Cash Advance. I am reporting them ASAP. When I told them that I thought this was a scam they became very irrate and told me they would see me in court. They said I would have the papers in my mail in 2 days. I am contacting my bank to let them know of this incident also.
