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 am sooo glad I decided to research this!!! I have been harrassed for the past 5 months from a middle eastern man with a deep voice as well. He's called my job and cell phone repeatedly!!! I decided to do a little reseach on my own and found out that on the date he claimed a deposit was made to me was NOT even showing up on my bank statements!!! Therefore it never happened and he is 100% lying....this is definately a scam!!! the 0000 shows up on my cell phone caller ID and I've spoken to him several time at a 518-289-3467 number. He claims to be located at:
LLC Law Office
3rd Street, Suite 24-E
Eurburn, New York 13024
**He clamis that I owe Cash Partners of America!!! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!!!
