Collections of some sort. Called my employer and told them I would be arrested the next day at eleven. I called back and gave them my bankruptcy case number and they told me I would need a criminal lawyer. They left the name Amanda Black, but their number is not listed. When you call them back they are foreign and difficult to understand. I called the local police and they said that they receive a bunch of similar complaints. They checked my name statewide and there are no arrest warrants.
I got a call from that number as well. They told me that they worked for some law firm and that there was going to be a warrant out for my arrest. I was supposely charged with forgery, fraud and one other thing. They claimed I had gotten money from a cash advance called cash net. I never even heard of the company. When I asked them not to call anymore the guy said he would keep calling. He gave me the name of Chris Wilson and Chris Williams. There is alot of noise in the back ground so it even makes it harder to hear what he is saying on top of the accent he has. He claims to be an american....yeah right. I told him that if he continues to call me that I will call the local police and file a report on them. I also told him that in America if a bill is owed that they send some form of notification and that they give out proper contact information.
This is exactly the same calls I received today at work. The first call was yesterday, but I could not understand the number so I erased the message. No number on the caller ID, so I couldn't call back. This afternoon at work I started getting the calls, and you are right, you cannot understand what they are trying to say or hear because of the noise in the background. I was told the same thing about a court case against me for fraud, and that on Monday morning at 11 am I will be delivered a subpoena from the Sheriffs office and be arrested and taken to the courthouse for my case to be heard. I don't think they know that where I live, everybody knows everybody, and that includes all the local law enforcement officers, Police, Troopers, and Sheriffs. On a first name basis with all of them. I called and reported them to Cashnet, with whom I have had loans in the past, but ALL of them are paid in full, as you cannot take out a second loan without the first being paid. The calls are about a loan in default from 2007 and I have documentation from the loan company,all is paid in full. The representative assured me they are not affiliated in any way with these people that are calling and harassing all of their customers, and she also gave me her name and a number to report them to Cashnet regarding this 3rd party fraud. I have involved the local authorities in this matter and they are investigating it at this very moment. They will get to the bottom of this matter, even in this little Texas town; I think they need to be reminded "Don't Mess with Texas!" The number to report them to with CashNetUSA is 1-866-254-3581.
So, did they come? Our Sheriff's department said it is a major hoax and that there is no such warrant. Apparently they are calling alot of customers of small loan companies, but mainly using CashNet from the reports I have read. I just wonder how many people have ended up sending them money to get them off their backs. The Ryan I spoke to said he would never be calling my number again. If I really owed the money, they would continue to call. The things people do for money.
