Returned the call to this person who claimed to represent the law firm of Andrew Marshall. Sounded very fishy to me. He proceeded to tell me about a lawsuit being filed against me for a loa from Cash Advance. I in turn told him that I have never had a loan with this company. He indicated that this was the parent company and they provide loans all over the country. I asked him for the information regarding the original loan and asked him if he was aware that hi company was being listed as a scam site. He said, yes he knew that and hung up the phone. I am now in the pocess of filing an ic3, attorney general and FBI complaint against Mr. Marc Johnson. He also represents himself as an attorney. I would suggest that we all file reports and attempt to have this company shut down.
They're calling from a call center in India, my husband was getting calls from 320-433-9430 and they were stating he owed money for a payday loan, which we have never gotten. We blocked the number on our cell phones and they started calling from a blocked or unknown number. They now are leaving messages saying that we are lower than beggers and have no self pride. ABC news did a story about these scams on June 7, 2012. I just recieved a call from 323-345-1343, he said his name was Ronny Cooper, and that if he didn't hear from me or my attorney the only thing he can do is wish me good luck. When my husband first started to recieve these calls we immediately changed our bank account information.
I received the same call for two days in a row. They told me I had to go and get a money gram and send it immediately or the sheriff would come get me for check fraud. It scared me to death. I went to our local sheriff's station and one of the deputies called the number. The guy immediately hung up.
This is a scam. The caller is trying to get you to give up sensitive information such as your social security number. As soon as he--calling himself "Alan Carter"--said that I and my social security number were named in a lawsuit and tried to get me to tell him my number, I told him I would do no such thing and demanded he give me his name, mailing address and phone number so my attorney could call him back. The phone number he gave did not match the one he called from on my phone's display screen and the address was phony. Do not give this person the time of day. Make him give up his contact info and tell him your attorney will be in touch and that will likely be the end of it. This is a scam, nothing more.
As a precaution, I did put an alert on my credit card and banking account.
