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.
I have received 14 calls from these people in the last 3 days! A man who says he is an officer and has a very thick Indian accent says that I owe on a past payday loan that I never had! Threatens me by saying they have a warrant out for my arrest and I have criminal charges against me. After telling them I have reported them to basically everyone, they continue to call and harrass me saying I need to have my attorney call them! He also called my work and spoke to a co-worker telling them everything! There is no stopping them!
I was told about a call that came to my work and the person stated that they were with the DOJ office and this was a legal matter that needed to called back on. I got the name of the person calling (Officer James Brown, badge number 20501)at 215-586-3579 xt 147.
I called the number back and the phone was answered, "hello what can I do for you". When I told them I wanted ext 147 I was put on hold and after a minute or so I hung up and dialed again. This time it was machine that answered Dept of DOJ...leave a message with name and number. I didn't leave anything other then I new this was a scam, because I looked it up on the net and if this is the Department of Jerkoffs, to stop calling. Well I got a call in about 3 minutes and the guy proceeded to call me every name under the sun when I told him I knew this was a scam...the "F" word, the "N" word and many others.
I bet I will hear back from them but I have down loaded and printed the form from the Pennsylvania Attorney General complaint form...Since the prefix number 215 is a Pennsylvania prefix. I don't know if they can do anything but maybe they can.
That is EXACTLY how it all started for me, also. They bothered me for about 3 days and then stopped. I'm hoping they realized they weren't going to get any money out of me and leave me alone.
I got a call today from 20818352830. I didnt answer, but there was a message. A man with a heavy Indian accent left a msg claiming to be Officer Charles ?(couldn't understand all the words stated). Noted he's calling from the "legal dept" of the "bureau of criminal identification" and that there is a case under my name and SS#. Noted I need to call the "second" I recieve the message. I call the number given in the msg. back 215-586-3579. I give my name to the person who answered the line and I was transferred to the same man who left a msg. I tell him to give me the last 4 of the social he has attached to my name. He then transfers me to a "supervisor" who calls herself Tracy Mole. I ask her to do the same thing including letting her know that my name is a popular name and she hangs up on me.
I THEN get a call back 15 minutes later from Tracy stating that the call is in reference to a case file (not provided). Said if I refuse to call back with ? information I will be detained on charges. Never left any detail about alleged case. Tracy didn't leave a call back number in her VM either. I decided to call back the # left in the previous msg by other person because I don't plan on getting numerous calls. I was told I recieved a payday loan in June of 08 and it was never paid back. I checked my statement from June of 08 to see and note verification that I never rec'd such loan. I found statemen & called back asking again what the name of the company is. She said it's not a company it is "Federal Investigation of Law and Enforcement". Different name from person who intitally called. I informed "tracy mole" that i never re'd a loan from a payday company on the date claimed. She said "OK hold on". I felt I was on hold for too long then hung up.
p.s. before being put on hold and after informing that i never rec'd a loan on the claimed date, I told "tracy mole" that either they have the wrong person or this is scam which I have found online (speaking about this site).
