Just got a call from this number.They claimed that there i a legal financial case I've been reported for that is going to mak me wind up in court for 2 hours. If I wanted to know more I should hold on for a supervisor. I told them I wasn'tthe person they are looking for and hung up on them! Still unsure I de3cid to type in the number and see where it takes me...and here am! I hvenj['t rea any of the otherposts yet but I am pretty sure tis was one of those scare tactic collection agencies. I was harrassed by another one several years ago and they had me going for a little while until they started trying to ngotiateand then bully me ito paying. Irefused and hung up then too. I hope I did the right thing! I sure don't think I've done anything to cause such a major ordeal!
I went back and listened to the partial message left before I picked up the phone. He said his name was Officer Paul Raid (I think that's what he said---I couldn't understand his accent!) He said he was calling from a Law Investigaton Dept. and the purpose of his call was just to inform me...that's when I picked up the phone.
He didn't speak very clearly and was leaving his message for a "Leslie Ann".....My name is Lynn...I told him there was deffiniteya mistake and tha tere wee no legal cases against me. I asked him to tell me what it was about and he just kept saying for more information I needed to spak o his supervisor or something like that. I also questioned who he was trying to reach and he spelled out my last name but I told him that it wasn't me and that they should remove my number from their call list.
I had received a call from the same person a few days ago and he gave me a phone number to call to speak to someone concerning the criminal charges I am facing and if I wanted to avoid going to court and eng chargd and indited on these criminal charges that have been filed against me I should call the number right away. I tried to call the number but nobody answered and it just sounded fishy so I hung up.
I am so glad I thought to type in the phone number and see where it went. I am so glad I found this website and I am going to post it right away on my facebook, along with the 'cash advance' link...I hate to say it but I think my identity may have been compromised by them and a few other sites while I was trying to see if I could qualify for a payday loan. I was noticing there were not any 's's' ater a lot of the http:// web addresses. I am going to ontact my bank again abot this becase I have bee seeig way to many charges or $1.00 and $7.99 etc...there's way too many not to take notice of. I am also going to send emails to AL of the Pay Day/ Onloine Loan copaniesand let them know they have been reported and that my attorney will be handling my bank issues now. I am going to see if I an close my bank account and if anyone has suggestions on wha ele I can do please let me know. Cash Advance definitely contacted me by phone and I may have given them informaton like I now know "NOT TO DO..." It is really a terrible thing that there are not any laws to protect people like me from being so stupid. All I can say is that I have an $1800.00 power bill due tomorrow and I have been running scared trying to find a way to make my payment...I have NEVER faced so many difficulties before. I am on disability and facing foreclosure. This is the last thing I need to be worried about right now and the first thing I need to take care of. I hope my ignorance will stop other people from making these same mistakes..I don't like showing everyone how gullible I am but please let it benefit someone else!
I keep getting these phone calls from this number at work and now my work is threating my job because they keep calling. The lady keeps telling me her name is Christina White and she wants to confirm it is me from my social security number to see is me that has a legal case out there. SHe says she is from the legal investigation department. I really wish they would stop calling because I can not lose my job because of this.
