I received a similar call last night at my work. They claimed that I was having criminal charges brought against me due to not paying on a payday loan. I have one payday loan that I know I am current on because they automatically withdraw money from my account every 2 weeks! I asked who was filing charges against me and this guy says that it is a blanket company called America Cash and that they cover many smaller companies. This guy also had a very thick foreign accent and claimed that his name is Shawn White. He tried telling me that unless I paid all the money that was owed right then, that he would have the California Sheriff's Department waiting at my job and home this morning waiting to take me in for 7-8 days for investigation until I could be brought in front of a judge. First of all, I don't live in California!!! The phone number that this guy called from is a cell phone through Verizon! I told my co-worker about it and after he got home from work, he called me with his friend on speaker phone and confirmed it was a scam! The same thing happened to his friend's girlfriend. He knew ever detail about the call, right down to the caller's name, and I never told my co-worker that! This guy has got to be stopped somehow!
I have been receiving numerous phone calls from multiple numbers claiming that they can help with my 2 or more payday advance loans. I have no loans taken out from any person, company or financial institution at all. Now I am receiving calls stating that there is a criminal investigation against me. I was discharged from a bankruptcy & the calls started just days after it was finalized. I can hardly understand the caller & today I lost it. I don't know what country these people are from but I'm sure the "American" names that have been given are not their true names. I asked to speak with someone that spoke clear English in order to understand the nature of the call. Another broken English speaking man with an "American" name came on the line with an attitude like I had just interrupted his lunch break. Needless to say I threatened them back by saying that if I receive one more call from them I would be pursuing criminal charges. He got mad & hung up. What a surprise!
I receive these calls all the time at my place of employment. They are always calling for employees that work here with me. They also state that they are with Becker Law Firm (made the foreigner spell it). I am in the payroll dept so that is why I receive them. I act like I am taking the message and the only thing I am taking down is the number so I can google it and make complaints about them. SCAMMERS!!!! They claim that whomever they happen to be calling for owes money to them.
