Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010 FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691
— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
Same here! The phone number kept calling me over and over until I answered. When I FiNALLY answered, a male with a heavy accent told me about a lawsuit that I had from "US CASH". I have never asked for a loan from that place. They even knew my social security!! Then a lady (also with a heavy accent) came on the line and told me that if I did not appear to court I would be getting arrested. When I asked for further information, all she said was "you're going to get arrested and this is not any of my problem". ALSO when I tried calling back all I got was a voicemail message saying that my account was not authorized to make that phone call. WHAT??? They kept harassing me and saying that I was going to get arrested and that the attorney of the state of Illinois was going to be informed of this and that the police dept where I live was undergoing an investigation and all of this weird mumbo jumbo. I called my local police department and they are investigating. I also called the montgomery police dept and they said that they have been having problems with this number. ALSO, THE NUMBER IS NOT COMING FROM ALABAMA. It is being used somewhere else.
Will add me to the list!!! They have been calling me for days. Its obvious fraud. Since when does any legal legit law agency or law firm conduct investigations like this!! These people need to be stopped. We should all get together and form a written complaint and send to the FBI, DOJ, BBB and who ever else. I would love for these crooks to be arrested. Just think how many people have been scammed out of money from these idiots.
I recived a phone call today from this "company" stating if I don't pay back $8,000 that I would have a warrant put out for my arrest, sit in jail for 21 days and lose my job. I called my bank and local Law enforcement.
Keep calling me saying im going to be arrested for a loan i took out an never paid.. i don't no what they are even saying it sound like a Indian or something please stop calling my job an my phone thank u
