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 received a call on my cell phone from 646-580-3094. The person claimed they were calling from LLC Law Office, their name was supposedly Kevin Jones, heavily accented middle-eastern person, and that they were a legal officer. The story was I was to have received money from Cash Partners of America, which I have never heard of and that I owed them and a law suit was being filed and I would be picked up the following day. I asked for a case number and why I hadn't been informed by the court of my pending case? Kevin refused to answer me and insisted he needed to read an affidavit to me. I refused to listen and Kevin then threatened me with calling my place of employment. I told Kevin to do whatever he felt was necessary, because I was reporting him to the Ohio Attorney General. He promptly hung up on me! Thanks Kevin Jones. ITS A SCAM alright.
I just got the call from this company to add they sayin they gave us a loan and we didnt pay back.we owe them some money but yet weve never even heared of these people.they want give you any information but want you to send money. Not That dumb BIG SCAM
I just recieved a call from 646-580-3094 this morning from a mam called Jacob. He had a very heavy middle-eastern accent tell me I had taken out a payday loan from Cash Partners of America and owed $1346.00 . He said if I did not pay this off today I would be pick up in the morning by some men taken to court and asked to pay $5800.00 on the spot. However I could set up payments and pay the amount owed right now. I told him I never heard of Cash Partners and that I was not going to give him my bank account number. He had the last four of my social security number, cell phone number, work number and name of my bank. This kind of stuff is scary!!! What does a person do?
This some bull crap, they have been calling my job as well. They are stating that I have 3 criminal charges against me. I am going to call the FTC as well.
