Harassing phone calls
Complaint
Jim Richmond
Country: United States
Recieved a call from a man named John Nelson, with very thick accent. He put his Supervisor, Anthony Johnson, on the phone, upon my repeated request, demanding $956 to be paid immediately to a business called Cash Advance America for an alleged loan he claimed my wife failed to pay over a year ago. Never had a loan from them, never heard of them. He said if she didn't pay today that another company called American Law Division had a "senior" attorney ready to file suit against her tomorrow in "Oklahoma Court" for over $4000 after attorney's fee's. He had the last four digits of her social security number. He never could furnish our address. He claimed her employer was also being "investigated." He also called my wife at her work place earlier in the day. He told her she had failed to take care of her business and that she would "end up behind the bars." She continued to ask for a Supervisor and was told by Anthony that he was the Supervisor. She asked for his Supervisor because, while he claimed to be American and had an American name, his accent was so thick she could not understand a word he was saying. He then started talking really quickly and shouting. She just kept shouting back for him to put someone who could speak English on the line and he hung up. He also told her his company had sent 18 emails that had gone ignored. ROFL! Of course, those types of emails always get deleted! Not a letter or correspondence one. Just the emails... which, upon sifting through my past email logs were not found. My wife was very upset and I told her it was a scam and I'd be able to find something on the internet to prove it. Of course, I have found that proof here. You'll also note, they never put a phone number on their web sites. I'll have to see if they keep calling before I try to take any legal action, which I doubt would do any good since they are foreigners. I suppose I'll play along and make them mad everytime they call... who know's it might be fun!

a marshall matthews with a heavy accent said I was approved for a loan anywhere from 500-2000 I could choose and the payment monthly for 10 months would be $222.00 per month. but first they go over my info on the phone which he already had from a payday loan firm I had applied with and he would put the funds into m y account and then they mail out the loan docs with the monthly payments in writing I said normally you get loan docs first signed and returned to the company before any money is deposited. they said no they first put the money in and then send the loan papers, and they can email me something if I insist. I called them back and said I am fine for now and do not want any funding from them. I suggest you all do the same thing.
Good luck all and have a good day.

These people are full of [***]. It's all a scam. It does make me nervous that they have my bank account number. Oh and all the people i"ve talked to are from India with real thick accents so you can hardly understand them! Don't fall for these people.
They are just a bunch of Indians using this alias to scam and extort Americans over the phone.
It's rather amazing they have kept using the same alias for so long, but it must be working for them.
The crazy thing is these guys are calling me at work, FBI Virginia Division. IDIOTS.... They must not listen that I am law enforcement and when they call me the receptionist says FBI.. Anyway they can be violent on the phone and use offensive language so beware. They are definitely overseas using local numbers as a display. DO NOT PAY them anything.
All numbers reported are being investigated.
