I received a call from the same group but the number was 305-414-7618. They gave me the same story and said I would be arrested tomorrow if I didn't give them $781.00 today. I asked a bunch of questions and every time they said I would have all my answers when I was picked up by the police.
The phone connection was really bad and I could barely understand what they were saying. I looked up Joseph and Jackson Legal online and I found this site. I really hate scammers.
I RECIEVED THE SAME CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER 305-735-7250 A PAUL SMITH WITH AN ARAB ACCENT SAYS HE IS WITH JOSEPH AND JACKSON LEGAL ASSOCIATE. HE HAD ALL OF MY INFORMATION AND ADVISED ME THAT I NEVED PAID THEM BACK FOR A PAY DAY CASH ADVANCE, WHICH IS BS. HE TOLD ME I WILL BE SERVED WITH PAPERS BY THE POLICE DEPT AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY MONDAY AND MY LEGAL FEES COULD BE AROUND 5000.00. AFTER TYPING IN THIS NUMBER 305-735-7250 I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING ALL NUMBERS WITH AREA CODE 305. ONE PERSON ADVISED THEY ARE HAVING THIS SO CALLED COMPANY INVESTIGATED WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISIONER AND THE FLORIDA STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE.
I TO HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT.
I BELIEVE THIS IS COMING FROM ME INQUIRING ABOUT A PAYDAY CASH ADVANCE ON LINE WITH ONE COMPANY (NEVER AGREED TO ANY LOAN) AS WAS JUST INQUIRING, WHEN MY INFORMATION WAS GIVE TO ABOUT A MILLIION DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND MY PHONE HAS NOT STOP RINGING YET.
THIS IS A SCAM!!!
When he called me his name was Charles Martin. I didn't believe a word of what he said because I do know that the police will not pick you up for a debt like this. Your credit would be affected likely, but you would not go to jail. You would get a subpoena to appear in court for a hearing before you could be sent to jail for 30 days as the guy suggested. I knew he was full of S4!+, and told him so! I explained that he better not call me again because I was going to report him for harassment.
I live in California. I too looked into a payday loan but never got one. He read me an affidavit saying I would be arrested on 3 charges for not paying this loan back. He had all my personal information and said I had received money and named my bank. I argued with him saying I never received any money. He was rude and told me to stop lying I was a thief and would be arrested by local authorities because the state of CA. Has a 0 tolerance law (or something ). I told them send it in the mail so I could foward the info to my attorney he said he can't do that. I told him he was full of it and hung up. I got so worked up and upset I went back through my bank statement and never got a dime then looked up the number online. I will be reporting this scam. So wrong on so many levels. Ameriloans??
levels.
same s%^& happen to me too called my house and my work they keep changing names now hes name is justin murry!! this thing needs to stop i dnt owe anything because i called my bank and asked them if they received anything from cash advance and they said no nothing!!!
