Precisely. Real investigators have no need to utilise threats. They investigate and get things done when they have the facts needed. Also, real investigators tend to be more intelligent than the humanoid who threatened you, and as such, they rarely identify themselves as investigators. That would be a self-defeating tactic for a real investigator, after all: It blows her/his cover.
Don't let the slime-collectors scare you. They've got no claws. And now, they're desperate because their overlords, the banks, are crumbling. So kick back, enjoy the beverage of your choice (unless during work hours, heheh), and have a heart laugh.
This man calls stating hes a Special Investigator wants to file Check fraud against me if I dont pay them (Johnson & Purdie associates) for a ACE Cash Payday loan that went sour...Apparently he states that I can go to jail for a 370 loan 2yrs ago...Threatens with jail time or make payments...LOL
I contacted my lawyers office and after reviewing the situation over that phone, they stated that they are only trying to scare me into a payment plan!
If you get this call... ask many questions as to who they are and what laws in your STATE govern their threat of jail time...HA HA what a scam!
I got a voicemail from the same person for my wife. He is so stupid thinking he is dealing with a fool or something! My wife and I know our rights and the most they could do is try to take you to court.
Yea they called me also, and I faced check fraud charges. I Went to court and judge sent me to jail for 30 days and made me pay a $1900.00 fine. Also I still had to pay the bad check. If they call you it's cheaper to pay it back voluntary. When I went to jail I lost my job and apartment. If they call you I will just pay back the Bad Check and get it over with.
A man called me last night and stated he was investigator Milton. He threaten to have me arrested. I advised him that I am under Chapter 13 and he needs to contact my attorney. He claims my attorney could not save me from the check fraud. First of all I have not committed a check fraud. I got 200.00 check advance from Ace Cash Express in 2006. I paid them for over a year of 30.00 every two weeks. Now you do the math. I also sent directly to their corporate office 100.00 which I verified with Ace today my balance. They said I only owe 120.00. This Milton person says I owe 220.00. Also I found out that Ace sold my account to a collection agency and this collection agency sold my account to this Johnson & Purdie. I am going to prosecute for harrassment. Thanks
