I keep getting emails from cash ash advance saying that I owe them money before they prosecute me in court for fraud activities.I just want to know if the officer legit and is this the real cash advance contact number before paying any money.
E-mails are not legal notice of anything. Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you CANNOT be prosecuted for it. This sounds like a debt scamming operation to me. The guy at this number has a strong Indian accent so this looks like a debt scammer from India. DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING! Nobody is going to court. This is an attempt to scare you into paying them something.
Just because a voice on the telephone (or an e-mail) claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone (or e-mail) claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
If they are bothering you,
Report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening arrest or criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a clear violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act)
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now. If you can find them.
I got the same series of emails, they F*@caked with the wrong consumer here, I just contacted proper authorities cause I noted all the reports on the phone number and names listed and did Google searches and looked up the reply emails on my emails they sent, I figured it out. these A-holes hacked a lenders/financial networks server and are targeting people to pay fees, entry form fees, fines and fundraising according to a person's credit history they're targeting people based on purchases, membership trends, purchases or impulses if you will based on lifestyles and credit history. Myself having worked in that industry I knew what to look for having worked in loan and credit market for
over fifteen years, and being a techy nerd I saw it right away. I submitted An actual cyber terrorist claim targeting consumer credit and finance fraud, identity theft, and something or other... thru the FBIs complaint report a crime tip site. Anyone being contacted by these guys should do the same....
