My number was a completely different number. It was 309-200-0522. And Al Smith called my job about a loan with USCASHNET, which is a company i have yet to hear about. I am 19 years old and i have never taken or received any loans for as long as i have lived. When i called back a SAM answered the phone and stated, "law firm." ----He did not stated the name of the law firm, that bothered me but i continued with the call. He went on to say thatn he couldn't give may any information and he transferred me to someone who was suppose to help me but instead they person was extremely dsirespectful and i couldn't understand most of the things he was saying.
They told me i owed $349, and that was with the late fee and interest rate. They also stated that the loan was for $200. I asked for the name of their company and the stated Dodds Law Firm and Legal Associates.
When searching on google, using the false inforamtion they gave me, i cam across the The Dodds Law Firm, PLS which is in AZ, and the number above is a IL number. So i call them, they then directed me to Terry Dodds, an IL law firm. So of course i contacted him and we dicussed the matter. He stated that he has had two calls already and that the actually filled a report witht the bloomington il police department. He advised that i call them as well and i did. They directed me to my local police department and asked they file an assist other agency report.
They numbers aren't the same but i am damn sure these are the same damn ppl with that THICK [***] accent that nobody understands.
My partner has been getting threatening phone calls from a bunch of yayhoo's obviously from Africa (their accents), since June 2009. It's the same theme that most of you are reporting. They claim he got a direct deposit to his account in November 2007 or was it December 2007 or was it January 2008 (they can't get their story straight, it changed each time they called) for some amount of money, anywhere from $250 to $500. He has checked his bank statements and no such deposit was ever made, other than the ones he made personally.
When asked to provide proof that the loan was made, they tried to intimidate him by calling him a deadbeat and a liar and asking: "Don't you want to do the right thing and pay this debt back?" To date, they have never provided any proof of any loan.
At first he thought these were legitimate calls and after I got involved, I pointed out that this was clearly a scam and stop answering or returning their calls. They continue to call and e-mail him; but the quantities have diminished considerably, since he doesn't respond to them anymore.
They had his bank account number, so immediately I had him close that account and open a new one, a hassle for sure; but worth the effort. Thank God they never got a chance to "drain his account"!! I also had him subscribe to one of the ID protection services, just in case they tried to do something evil in that respect.
They also have the phone number where he works and yesterday he got a phone call from 215-586-3579 from an officer identifying himself as: Officer Black (how appropriate) Thompson and to call him back immediately.
Now he knows not to respond to any calls that he doesn't recognize either the person's name or phone number. When he comes home we "Google" the number to see if it's legit or not (thank God for Google!!) That's how we found this forum.
I hope somebody can set up a "reverse sting" on these jackals and shut down their operation once and for all!! They are terrorists of the mental sort!!
Hey guys, I received the same phone calls, a african or Indian guy with a heavy thick accent, threatening me, blah blah, report the numbers to the police dept., BBB, FTC, and secret service, also go to ripoffreports and google US Bant National or legal affidavit office and you will plainly see its ALL A SCAM. Don't send them any money, they will try to scare you into wiring them money but just tell them you know they are fake and they will be shut down by Interpol. They use several different names and numbers and they will call them selves police offiers and give you phony badge numbers. Don't believe a word that comes out of their crappy mouths. They need to get a job or get out of their little tents and grow some food to feed their hungry country.
I have been getting calls at work and my husband has on his cell phone it comes up at out of area. They are very hard to understand they say they are from BCI Bureau of Crime Indentification saying that I received a payday loan in February and that if i dont pay it back i will be arrested when i asked them to send me proof that i received a loan and told them i would send them proof that i did not receive a loan they told me they could not send me anything in black and white i hung up on them. They called my work again today they cant say my name correctly nor can you understand what they say, my co worker pretended to be my lawyer after they passed me off to someone else, that made them mad they hung up on him after giving us a phone number of 941-548-1520 which is a Florida number, and called me back immediately yelling at me threatening to arrest me. They have my social security number address and they even had my debit card information from my work, which i had turned off. They gave me the names of Officer Frank Harris and Officer Mike Black and since they can hardly speak english its really fishy. I am reporting this to the police.
