I received calls from 253-242-9255 stating his name was Steven Johnson who then transferred me to a Joe Brown. Stating I owe them $800 for a lawsuit that I have against me with a payday loan from US Fast Cash. I called US Fast Cash and asked them to verify if i had a loan with them ( I didnt remember taking one out) US Fast cash stated that I did not have anything with them. They then informed me that this sounds like a scam that has been going around. I called the # back and asked them to verify the name of the company that I had the loan through and he stated he couldn't provide me with any information and that it would be on the receipt they send me. I asked them why they used US Fast Cash and he stated it was a "Parent Company" that they use to represent over 300 different agencies. I asked them for their BBB ( Better Business Bureau) number and they became very irate at this. Said they had other ways to get the money from me.
Stated I should get an attorney also and have them contact them so they can handle this. Also that I would have to goto California to settle this.
I received many calls from this number on my cell for weeks and they leave a threatening message about speaking with me or my attorney or legal representation and to return the call asap or all they can do is wish me good luck. Then when I didn't answer they immediately called my work. Since I was at work I had to answer and the caller stated that his name was Steve Robinson (cleary not american with the heavy middle eastern accent he has) from some law firm and that he needed to verify my information I asked what this was in reference too and he said he needed to verify my information before he could tell me then asked if I had been notified about the lawsuit I said duh if I had I wouldn't be asking you what this is about. Steve Robinson still wouldn't verify any information for me about this lawsuit that I supposedly was notified about but never happened before today. Told him this was a scam and I had heard it all before via the internet and if I found out he was going to use any informaiton of mine for a scam that he would need the best attorney ever. He got all upset and told me well we advise u to get an attorney and we will pursue our case filings against you. I hung up on the rest of the crap he was saying.
Several men with heavy East Indian accents, claiming to be "Officer Tom O'Brien", "Steve Johnson", or "Michael Davis", have been calling me for two months, threatening me with arrest, jail time, embarrassment in front of my colleagues, etc., if I do not pay them "$713.26". At first, they said they were with Cash USA, but lately they've been saying they were with FASTCASHUSA. They tell me I must send my driver's license, credit card number, and SS# to fax #: 909-786-1110 immediately or I'll be arrested. I have looked through my bank statements, called FASTCASHUSA, and have found no record of any amount owed to them. I do, however have some Pay day loans out at this time. The police department that I reported these guys to said that they must've hacked into other loans to get the info they have, as they don't have much. I have a lawyer, have reported them to the police, and today I faxed them a letter saying that they have not followed fair debt collection practices, and that I believe that I do not owe them anything.
