DO NOT UNDER ANY CONDITIONS GIVE OUT INFO, RETURN CALLS, OR (ESPECIALLY) SEND MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE. They are a fraud. They called me today and told me I was facing criminal charges if I did not immediately fax them a legal document and submit a payment via credit card in amt of 945.35. They are not legit. I have searched it and found that they are a fraudulent co. based out of India and they have scammed many innocent people with the same song and dance. They will scare you and they are convincing but DO NOT BELIEVE THEM.. they are liars, and criminals. I almost fell for it but then caught on. REPORT THEM - the more reports the better. They will say you took out a loan w/a payday loan company online (and you probably did at some time that is how they found you) and that it was not paid back, checks were returned and that they now had no choice but to press criminal charges. They are so full of it. Please do not listen to them or talk to them (unless you are lucky enough to get an atty to be on three way when you do)I hope you receive this. they need not steal anyone's money. This is horrible and I feel as if I should be compensated for the abuse they put me through and the time I spent with them all afternoon as well as all the anxiety they put me through. This was the worst day I have had in a while and they should be locked up.
I received a call from this number and they claimed to be a company known as "Federal Legislation Financial Responsibility and Association". They spoke with a very heavy accent and were difficult to understand. They informed me via voicemail that I needed to immediately return their call, regarding a legal matter that involved me. I bit the bait, and called (fearing that this was true). When I called, I spoke with someone calling himself Dean Jones. Mr. Jones informed me that he was an attorney for my creditor, which was an online payday loan company that I had borrowed from in the past but failed to pay. When I asked him the name of the company he evaded the question and said that he was handling the case now and that it was URGENT that I stay on the line with him unless I wanted to have criminal charges pressed against me. Each time I asked him about the details, he evaded the questions and stressed the urgency of the "legal matter' that was "pending" and told me that if I failed to comply with his requests he would be left with no choice but to proceed with legal action which would involve contacting the courts in my state and possibly having me arrested. He then told me to fax him a notarized statement signed by me, saying that I was owing 945.35 to an online loan company and that I did not intend to default on the loan and would like them to take the payment via my credit card. They then asked me for my credit card # and told me that if I did not give it to them, they could not guarantee that the case would not go to court before the fax even came in. I asked them several times the name of the company and they gave me three separate names, none of which exist, to my knowledge. I asked for a number for the company and a contact person and they gave me a number that was identical to this one but one digit off (858)345-4560. and told me to speak to James Watson. A friend called the original number (858)345-4561 for me and asked for Mr. James Watson and was transferred to him so it was obviously in the same office. I told Mr. Jones that I was told my attorney that I needed to obtain documentation from him proving transactions had been made on my bank account because, according to my records, there were none. When I asked for these to be faxed to me, he stated that he was not allowed to release any documents as this was a pending legal case but that if I did not want to comply, that was fine..he would just go on and press criminal charges. This went on for a few hours, off and on with me calling him back and vice versa. I had a friend come over for advice, I contacted my bank, and my attorney. I contacted police in my city as well as the city they claim to be in (san diego) and put him on three way with some of these people. This was pure unadulterated abuse and these people need to be charged with something. I did not lose any money because I caught it in time, and got advice from others. But they tried to prey on the 'fear factor' of making me so emotionally disturbed about a pending criminal charge that I was not thinking rationally so that hopefully I would do a crazy thing like give out my credit card number or fax a letter. These people need to be caught and stopped before they take more money from more people.
I recieved a message from some lady with a heavy accent and barely could understand her.l I won't call these people back and if they want me in court then they can send me the legal documents that are required by law. I have already reported them to the ftc and my state's attorney general's office.
