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 recieved a call from the number 215 -586-3579 from a man named Daniel grey ext.112. He told me I have a debt that was from us cash advanced online and it was in the amount of 785 dollars. I said ok and he said we need to set up payment arrangement now before I send this down and the case os filed and needed to get a lawyer or I faced major legal problems. So of course because he made me nervous and scared I did just that. I have paid them a total of 400 dollars so far via money gram. The information they gave me for that was to send it to the state illnios and first name sorin and last name rus. So then he called me everyday at least 3 to 4 times a day. Yesterday 9/09/09 he left me a voice mail because I ignored it. I was so upset by the voicemail I was crying he was yelling at me telling me he thought I was a citizen of america and then said a lot of things I couldn't understand because he's very hard to understand and he sounds like he has a india accent. Well then I let my co worker listen to my voicemail and she told me to call the number and speak to his supervisor because that was totally un called for and unnessicary. So I did I called the number and asked to speak to Daniel Grey's supervisor and the guy said one moment and transferred me to Daniel so I hung up because I did not want to speak to him at all. Then he proceeded to call me back in like 5 seconds from me hanging up on him. I answered and kept my cool even though I was furious at this point. I told him if he ever left a voicemail like that again on my phone I was going to turn him in. And I asked him if he had the message that he left me on recording because all debt collectors and law firms have there calls on recording and they tell you that in the begining of the conversation which was another thing I thought was extremely odd. Then all he kept saying after that was I am sorry ma'am won't ever happpen again I am completely sorry. So I thought wow was that ever weird like as soon as I said I was going to turn him in for harassement he got scard as if he was a scam artist so I am so lost and upset bout this right now. oh and he also said it would take him like 7 to 10 hours to find that recording which obviously tells me that. that was not on recording go figure. then when I called back after close it says that this is the doj leave your name and number and will return your phone call shortly.
That is who called me. Do not send them anymore money!!! They are a total scam and there was a story about them in my local newspaper. The BBB has also been notified of them as well as the FTC. I just don't understand why they can't be stopped. Can't this number be traced? I just don't understand how they can get away with doing this for so long?
