UPDATE: I took the call from them at 8 a.m. this morning and played into their game to get as much info as possible. They are reading from scripts, and if you ask them anything that goes off-script, they transfer you. I spoke to 3 people this morning: Louis Wilson, Heather Lawson and Ben Foster. In looking up Heather Lawson, I see complaints about this scam dating back to 2006!! Why can't we stop this?! This personal information should not be released when people apply for a payday loan.
When I asked for an address, they gave me 42 Broadway 5th Floor NY, NY 10004, and said they are the DCA Law Firm - Department of Corporate Affairs. In actuality, there IS a DCA at this address, but it is the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs.
When "Ben Foster" no longer felt like making up stories to answer my questions (such as "If this was in collections, why haven't I received a written notice within 5 days of initial contact, as per the law under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?"), he said they would go ahead and process my file and we could deal with it at the courthouse on Monday. I sweetly answered "Oh yes, let's go ahead and do that." He was a bit surprised and then asked for my attorney's info, so I said "Yes, he definitely wants to talk to you" and gave him the info. Then I told him that we were aware this is a scam, that I have already reported him to the FTC and FBI, and that all calls were being recorded. I told him to never ever call here again or he would be the one showing up at the courthouse. I hung up. No callback yet. I am sick to my stomach with what these people are doing to scared, financially-strapped people.
I also just received a call for this same problem but the number I had was 424-236-3302. He stated his name as Mathew Perry then another guy named Adam got on the line also. They said that I had taken a loan out in Dec 09 and was electronically put into my bank account. Funny that account was closed. But now they say I owe "Cash Partners of America" $5484.87. He said I had a lawsuit against and would be going to be supeoned to court tomorrow. Funny how if this is all legit, I know the legal system would have sent documents in the mail, not calling last minute. 3 charges against he says, for violation of check fraud, check deception and another I could not understand. He said this was stolen money and I need to pay it back. I have called the bank I used to be with and there was not such electronic deposit ever. So good luck Cash partners in trying to get any money!!!!

GOT A CALL FROM A SPOFF CARD OR 0000. THEY ASKED ME TO RETURN THEIR CALLAT A 646 DUE TO THE TIME SENSATIVE MATTERIAL THAT I AM BEING SUID BY CASH PARTNERS OF AMERICA. SAID I WAS GUILTY OF 3 COUNT OF SOMETHING I COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT
ANY CASE ITS FRAUD AND I HAVE SEVERAL DETECTIVES WORKING ON THIS CASH PARTNERS OF AMERICA SCAM
This guy has harrassed me and other co-workers at our job also. Matthew Perry 424-236-3302. Claiming he works for Legal & General Group representing Cash Partners Of Amer. Albany, NY. Thsi is a scam & I would like to report him also. He continues to call me at work numerous times, it so embarrassing because he is stating that I have not paid a debt that I owe to anyone who will listen to him.
