I received the same call yesterday on my cell and at work. the first guy was a Mark Johnson and I was told that some one from US Cash was going after me for fraud an I was going to be arrested. I wasn't thinking start and gave them $300.00 which was half of what I owed to them. he would not let me off the phone until I went to get the pre paid card and I should have known then that it was wrong. then I spoke with a Duane McGuire a collection rep which said once I paid this he would call me back with confirmation number the next morning. I did ask some questions but again I was so out of it that I didn't think the process through. I then received a call this morning from Duane again stating that the collector would not accept my $300.00 then want it all. I asked him to send me something with this information and he said he would once I paid. I did some research and found out that this was not true at all. I think part of the reason they got my name, cell number, work number and ssn# was from the internet. I will be calling them back and telling never to contact me again and I want my money back or i'm going to sue them for millions of dollars. Stupid stupid me
I received this call at my work today stating that charges are being pressed against me for three different counts including theft by deception, check fraud, etc. I could not understand the gentleman as he was "reading my affidavit" so I politely asked to speak with someone of whom I could understand better. After holding, the same gentleman came back onto the line and continued to pursue reading to me. As I became frustrated I informed the gentleman I needed to know where he was from, who he was representing, and the purpose of the call. The gentleman seemed very confused and said to just let him finished reading. I rudely interrupted and stated that I would like to speak with a manager so that I could determine the purpose of the call in which he said there was no one I could speak with, so I hung up. Does anyone know which firm this is representing as this is illegal and I will pursue harrassment charges for such a situation...
