There is a person that calls me on my cell and at work with a heavy accent (such as a person from India would have.) States he has a legal emergency regarding me. Says his name is Alan Smith (that's a joke with that heavy of an accent.) He is asking for my bank account info and ss #. What a joke. I talked to my attorney and she advised me that it sounded like a fraud/scam. I have threatened him with legal action if the calls contiune and he still calls. I don't know what to do. It's embarassing at work and just flat out annoying and a waste of my cell phone minutes. What do I do?

Alan Smith calling from American Legal Associates reporting that my friend has used my name fraudulently. This is a scam!!!! I am not going to call back.
For months on end we have received calls from several different phone numbers including this one. They called again today suppoosedly from American Legal Associates the name changes as often as their phone number even though it's always the same man he neither speaks english or understands it very well. They have resorted to calling 7 times or more in a row upto 30 or more times a day even around midnight. Once I was so severely ticked off I answered the phone by screamed into it at the top of my lungs the calls stopped for a week. I have changed my out going voice mail message stating that if we can't understand the english you are speaking we will not return your call no matter how many times you call so stop calling. This is a total scam they are constantly threatening that "you'll be picked up and spend years behind bars if you don't take care of this and oh are you refusing to take care of this matter?". They claimed that there was a loan taken out through "Cash Advance which is the mother company to over 300 other companies" and kept repeating this. I asked the name of the supposed company under them which the loan was through? "I don't know there are so many" was the response. I asked what date was this $ to have gone into my account and or transaction to have taken place? "Oh I can't give you that information" was the response. I asked for the phone # of this supposed company? No response was given. I also asked him why would I give you our personal information if you have no answers? or real information for me? Again no response and every time I would ask him a question the threats would get worse and worse even to the extreme. I truely hope that others out there are not falling from this crap!
I received a call from American Legal Associates as well claiming that I was going to be charged with fraud among other charges and that my employer would be notified of my wrong doing if I did not pay for a loan that I never received or requested from Cash Advance America. He refused to give me any contact information for the company that was claiming this, he also refused to give me any of his contact information other than the number he called from and his name, Aaron Clark. He stated that he did not have a boss I could speak with and he could not discuss the case details over the phone but I would be served with a court summons. I checked my account to verify that I did NOT receive a $350 loan in March of 2011 and indeed I DID NOT. I googled the company name that he said he worked for and received nothing. As I did not receive any money from anyone on the date he is claiming I am going to assume this is fraud, however I do not like the fact that this complete moron had access to and read to me my name, address, ssn, personal email and actually contacted me at work. If anyone has advise on how to prevent any further fraud from this guy please share
