These people started calling my cell phone and my office phone, repeatedly stating that I am about to have criminal charges brought against me. Does anyone know how to get them to STOP calling? I've blocked the number on my cell phone, but they are calling my work number and I have no control over that.
I received a call to day from a Pedro Foster with an middle eastern accent. He claims he from the law office of Russel Miller. He said I took out a loan from a company by the name of Cash Advance USA. I have no knowledge of this. When I started asking questions he stated that I have 3 criminal charges against me and that they have taken an Warrenton out for my arrest. While asking question the phone call was dropped and as I keep calling back the line seems to be busy. I thinking what law firm has a busy number. I tried calling back again and now there hanging up in me. Yes this is definitely a SCAM.
I am receiving calls from 916-238-8471. I returned the call and they state they are Law office of Russell Miller. But I did block my number when calling the guy was pissed because it came in private he asked for my number I said I'm not giving you my number why are you calling me. When I pushed him and the more questioned I asked he hung up on me. I owe no one money how did they get my number and information? What can I do to stop this?
I received a phone call from 916-238-8471 from some Indian accented "paralegal" saying this is my last chance to contact them before the federal law suit is brought against me. I called back and talked to some other "attorney" that I could barely understand. He said he doesn't like to be interrupted and went on to read me my "affidavit" explaining why a federal law suit has been filed against me. He was extremely rude and eventually hung up on me because I failed to not interrupt him - as I am sure you can understand I was extremely upset to receive such a strange call saying I am being accused of check fraud from receiving monies from a payday loan company (which he failed to disclose) who supposedly deposited funds into my bank account. He even had the name of my bank, last 4 of SSN and name and address. I couldn't get much more information from him before he hung up and now they refuse to answer my calls. I live in CO and contacted my bank immediately - of course, they have no record of "reporting me for check fraud" as the "attorney" said did, or that any said deposit was made on my account. Once I found this website, it has become clear that it is a SCAM, and even if it wasn't they are violating SEVERAL FDCPA rules and regulations for debt collection, and have clearly exhausted their resources in CA and moved onto CO. I pray to God that no one is caught in their scams. I will be reporting what information I have to the FBI, FDCPA, Attorney General and BBB.
I received the same called this morning. The man was rude and didn't speak clear English. He stated I took out a cash advance online loan, he had personally infromation. I went to my bank and they didn't have we're I received this money in my account. He even know that and that's the scary part of this call. I no longer live we're he said I live but. He told me to call my family and come up with 497 dollar r u would have to pay 3,497 for fee and that the police was to pick me up in three days. He was very pissed and could not provide the date and time I took out this loan, that I don't know anything about.
