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.
OMG! I cant believe what I am reading. I returned from lunch today & sat down to listen to my messages & heard the same voice that you all have been describing. "John Goodwin" said that if I didnt return his call, that I would regret it & wished me good luck. I was really thrown back by this message & I listened to it repeatedly just to make sure I wasnt crazy! I ended up calling this 213-550-4189 & like all of you, he had a very heavy accent & the noise in the background was unbelievable. I could barely make out what he was saying. He finally agreed that their was a bad connection & told me to hang up & he would call me back. I asked him what was the call pertaining to & he would never say, he just kept insisting that I hang up. Well I finally hung up & he called right back, but it was the same heavy noise. Again, he said that he would call back. I was still curious & so I googled the number & BAM, I see all these comments from you guys.....this is just really shocking to me.
I did take a very very small loan ($250) from Cashnet, two years ago for emergency vacation money, but it was paid back in full & has been for awhile & I have proof to back it up....so seeing that most of you have dealt with Cash Net, I now understand how he got my number to my job & see that he's out for something he sure in the heck isnt getting from me. He hasnt called me back, but when he does I will be ready for him. Some people have the nerves to try & scheme........its not like he was going to get anything from me anyway....when I know that i've paid, I dont even listen to people like that, but when you're caught off guard like that & have someone threatning you, you just dont know what to think.
Bottom line is something needs to be done!
Apparently they are not affiliated with the original CashNet, they are Cashnet 500. I know this because when i tried contacting their corporate office the person I spoke to didn't even let me finish explaining before she said 'we are not that company you are looking for. They are Cashnet 500 and I don't have any contact info for them, you would have to look it up.' So even if you took a loan from Cashnet, this is not them, these are scammers. This guy had my email, home address, and the last four digits of my social. Now that is scary.
Exact same thing just happened to me right now. I was immediatly suspicious with the heavy accent and the noise in the background. I got on the internet and saw all of these posts so it's a scam but it scared me. How do they get so much information on me? This makes me really angry. I can't believe that these people are getting away with this and nobody has stopped them yet.
