These people scammed me. Say they r an attorneys office. Told me if i didnt pay 1,760.12 tomorrow i would have a warrant out for my arrest by 11am for 2 counts of bank fraud. They also worked with a man named joseph allen. 775.410.7015. These people are really good at what they do. Dont ever give them your info no matter what. This is a scam. Call the police and make a report. Always do your research first this has been a huge stress the last few days on me. And im so glad i looked further into it. People like this need to be caught. Call the police
Thank you for posting. I think the first one from C.P is part of the scam. I went to see an attorney since I couldn't find a single thing about a payday loan or repayment check that bounced, hence the filing by 11 am tomorrow of 2 Class B felony charges of Bank Fraud. I called each of these THREE people three times and they gave me more and more info every time. My attorney showed me your post. I'll be filing local & FBI reports plus with the FTC.
First, the "call type" should have FRAUDS or SCAMMERS because that is exactly what this is. I received a call from someone at the "NJ Processing center" by the name of Tina Parker. She left me a voicemail message that I was having 2 counts of bank fraud filed against me tomorrow at 11am and to remove any large dogs from the premises, firearms and be sure to have any young children adequately cared for. She left a number for the Corporate Office, 822-234-7022. I called them less than a minute later and "Miss Brooks" answered and told me that Tina Parker had just left for the day. She repeated to me that 2 federal charges of bank fraud were being filed against me at 11am tomorrow. The charges were under Title 18, Penal Code 1334. I could stop the affidavits from being filed if I got a court release #, but I would have to talk to the "attorneys" which happened to be Atlantic Mediation at 850-725-3164. The woman at that number told me that I had taken out a loan from Advanced Cash on 2/14/14 for $550 and when I repaid the loan amount of $860.00, the check bounced, hence TWO charges. They really had me going because not me, but an ex-coworker who had access to all this info on me, used to take these kinds of loans out and I thought my identity was used by her! Oh she listened to me when I told her all about this girl and even agreed she probably used my identity, but unless I paid $1,530.00 (which included attorney's fees) I was going to be arrested tomorrow and would spend the weekend in jail waiting for arraignment. There was more info divulged to me because I called each of these numbers again and some a third time to gather more information. I was going to pay it and file my own complaint against my ex-coworker. Thankfully I sought legal advice (I wanted to make sure if I paid this to avoid having sheriffs at my home) that I still had an avenue to pursue my own legal case. Man, I thought I was smarter than this!!! My law enforcement brother and attorney both told me that these people are professionals, they rehearse this stuff and work smoothly together. As my brother pointed out, they had me second guessing myself and whether I had actually taken out this loan! I am begging everyone that may search this number and read this to file complaints! Maybe nothing can be done, but IF people were caught and you were a victim or potential victim, your report is on file. If you EVER question a call, seek legal advice and do not pay these people!!! $150 to my attorney was money well spent!
I wanted to add that I still have that voicemail message, which "Miss Brooks" apologized for because the info about the dogs, children and firearms should have been delivered during a call (yeah... scare tactic, 1st sign of a scam) EVERYONE empathized with me (#2, gained my trust), payment needed immediately even though they mailed me something over 30 days ago that I would have had to sign for and they don't have any record I did (they don't mail you anything and it doesn't matter if you didn't get it. #3- Sense of urgency to pay it off now.)
