Well let me give you a new number they are calling from, 282-726-2524 and Indian accent person's name was David Zayas from Detection for Financial Fraud Department. Same story, telling me they had an affidavit about a $400 loan given to me from Cash Advance, an online company. He wanted me to verify my information, and i told him I wasn't giving my social security to him, I didn't know who he was. He read off my bank account number which was correct but what he didn't know is I've already closed that account. He could not give me an affidavit number or case number from the Court, but gave me the number to Cash Advance Legal Dept. 508-313-2173. When I called that number, the Indian speaking man was rude and tried to get threatening when I told him something fraudulent is going on. I asked about the $400 loan and when was it deposited into my account. I told him I have my bank statements and there is not any deposit made into my acct. I told him I was having my attorney look into the matter and that I have proof no loan was ever given to me by them. And since it is an online Cash Advance business, they would have had to deposit the money into my account. He told me he would see me in court and hung up in my face. I called back and he hung up again and had the nerve to say if I didn't stop calling, he was going to press charges against me for harassment. I told him I was the victim and if he didn't stop calling my numbers, cell, home and job, I was going to call the police on him and file charges against them. I called David Zayas back at 282-726-2524 and guess what, the number could not be completed as dial. This is some scary [***]. Be aware! I do feel better knowing I'm not the only one they have targeted.
These people called my work - indian accent - Affidavit Legal Services. Ive received calls from these scammers in the past but not for a month or so, since my employer got on the phone with them and told them to quit calling or he would have them involved in a suit. Seems that they are now switching to this new number.
I received a phone call from this number saying they are the department of Detection of financial fraud and before they take action against me they want to talk to me. It has to do with payday advance company which I never received money from
THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or extort personal info.

I've received a call from this number, the guy identified hisself as Shawn Williams, and became very agressive and threatening when i informed him that i knew it was a scam. He threatened me with the cops and with bodily harm. I have reported this to the Attorney Generals office, The State police and have filed a complaint with the FCC. He is trying to get my personally information. DO NOT GIVE INFORMATTION TO THIS NUMBER IT IS A FRAUD!!!!
Rude, nasty and unprofessional. Threatened to take me to jail and called my job over and over again telling people I had commited a fraud.Told them not to call me at work and they continued to hang up and call over and over again for several hours. I have no idea who these people are. This is the second number they called from. They would not send me any information in the mail or tell me where this bill/debt is supposed to be from. Dont give them any information this is a scam.
