On 1/31/2011 at around 6pm, a man called me claiming his name was Officer Scott Mason calling from Gwinnett County regarding a Money Cash Advance. He then called me names, cussed and threatened to have me arrested the next day if I did not pay him $843.00 for a supposedly a $400 online loan he claims I applied for out online. He knew my social security number, address, full name, email address and last place of employment and said if I didn't pay him the company was going sue me and I would have to pay over $2000 in court charges. Then he had me write down his phone number to call him back which is (404) 981-6103 and said I had to fax him something in writing stating that I authorize the debit in the amount of $843 from a prepaid card or credit card towards my outstanding amount and I ensure the payment won't get declined and I won't dispute this payment along with the date the money will be sent, the card information, exp date, CVV#, billing address, my signature, and attached photo id and to fax to (650) 560-1721. I have since contacted my local police department and filed a report with BBBonline, the FBI, consumer reports online, social security dept., and posted a message to every scam site I could find on the internet.
And since I have received at least 2 emails from individuals stating that the same thing or similar has happened to them. See below:

On 2/8/2011 same situation occurred:
Caller claims there is a lawsuit filed against my name and social security #, threatened to black list my social security and file court documents under my name and social security #. Said his name was Alex Scott, his phone number is 469-718-7315 but on my caller ID it shows 315-551-5643 Syracuse, New York. I immediately phoned the police for whom I previously filed a police report with and added to the report. Furthermore, I have contacted the FTC, and the IRS and filed reports.
On 2/11/2011:
I got a call from 800-252-2107, 760-666-2107, and 714-464-8744 and all of them are scams. I have since changed my phone numbers too.
On 2/14/2011:
Got a call from 757-255-8591 and 800-521-3236 both are scams and I have reported these too.

    I got a call to on 8/10/2011 by a man saying that he was federal crimes and that I took a online loan and that they deposit 300 dollars in my checking account and said that now I can settle for 456 dolloars. I told him I could pay 50 dollars a month than he hung up. Than three hours later a woman called told me she was with federal crimes oh and he said he was to. I said federal crimes huh. She said that she will send the court papers in three days. I said go ahead. I called my bank and there was no record of 300 deposit. This is suppose to be Money cash advance. I called her bank and let her have it. Than she called me back and called me MF. Can you believe that. So I called and harrassed the crap out of them. Be aware the number is 510 331 4660.

    I got this call, too, on October 28, 2011, with a very similar message. Before they called me at my home, they called my work number SIX TIMES. Not realizing it was a scam, my boss gave them my home phone number instead.  When I told them that this had to be a case of identity theft, I was told that it didn't matter--that I either had to settle up or be arrested the next day.  I told them I would have to go to jail because I didn't have that kind of money.  Then they called me at work AGAIN and proceeded to argue with my boss.  My house caller ID listed the number as (701)2146452, but it came up as "unavailable" on my work phone's caller ID.

    Those same people are calling me now and they have been calling me all morning.  They even went as far as calling me from a 911 #.  I told them they are messing with the wrong person and I am from the U.S.  That is a federal crime you are commiting and he need to stop calling me.  I told them first you told me I owe Cash Advance USA, and now it's Money Cash Advance, who is it going to be the next time you call me?  I have already change my bank account #'s.  I told them to stop calling me because you are not going to get a penny from me.  He got rude and said let me transfer you.  He pushed some buttons and I pushed the buttons back saying I can pretend to transfer my call too. Im disable and tomorrow I will report this to the police department.

    The number they are using now is 234-542-1696.  Police Department to not collect debts and they do not work at no lawyer office.  They told me the same thing that thy will send officer to my house to arrest me and I told them to go ahead and do it.  Bill collectors normally serve you through the courts, certified mail.  They will normally call you from a 877# or 866#.  I will be changing my number as well.

      Robert Marshall called me yesterday, asking me to pay for a loan that l took out in the amount of $300. The settlement amount would be $629.33. He threatened to put me in jail within one hour if l wouldn't pay the amount. He said l had three criminal counts against me. The phone number ended in 5175. (out of virginia). He kept telling me that the sheriff office would receive a fax for an arrest warrent. l told him lucky him, my whole family on my in-law side are deputies, l would turn myself into my father-in-law right now. He got mad and started yelling saying that l think its a joke. l laughed and said, YES! l then continued to call him back every minute laughing at him, and calling him a crook. l did this for about an hour straight. Then l called back 15 mnts later telling them they owe for a loan and they were going to jail...they were lost, and didn't know what to think! IF you get these phone calls, get it recorded with YOU asking to send a letter to your house with the amount owed...IF YOU receive NO letter, DO NOT pay them over the phone!!! The other thing to do if you receive a call like that, DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE AT ALL if you are not sure of the number. THESE PPL ARE SCAMMERS!!!!

    On 12-15-2011 I received a called from an officer Jack stating he was charging me with three counts of internet fraud. He stated that I received $300.00 from Money Cash Advance and if he cleared the matter up it would cost me $5000.00. I asked Jack how he got my information; he never would tell me, only that he was trying to save my good name. After I informed him that I was a retired police chief, he stated that I would be arrested within the next 12 hrs. This is a scam.

    On 1/23/2012 I recieved a called from a Officer Jon Harris stating he was going to arrest me within 24 hrs and charge me with internet fraud and theft by deception. He stated I recieved a $400.00 loan from Money Cash Advance last yr. He went on to say the amount I needed to pay to clear this matter up was $1536.00. He said he had all my info. The number he called me from was (330) 271-2027 which is located around Akron, OH. I called the State Police and told them what had just happened and they informed me that it was in fact a scam. They told me if I recieved anymore calls to call the police and they would file a report.

    My call came from 503-207-6120...very abrasive guy with thick Middle East accent. I asked for specific info such as dates....all I got was double talk and told I would be arrested at my home within hours. I hung up....called the police and made a report. He called back  I answered the first and he said why did you hang up. I told him I had called the police and was recording the call. He gotta really Nash and said "don't [***] with me [***]...I know where you live. You're going to be arrested."  He then called back 7 times. I just rejected the call. The same thing happened to me back in the fall. They are intimidating and scary.  They are also just scam artists.

He went by the name Robert Marshall calling from 530.207.6120,ext 918. He said that I need to settle out of court immediatley or I will be arrested at my work place.

He messed up when I hung up the phone and he called back to say, why did you hang up, thats why on tomorrow you will be arrested at work. I hung up again but I called back to speak to a supervisor and of course I was unable to speak to anyone other then him. He also stated that legal fees, court fees, counseloring fees and that my social security has been band and other fees would be brought up against me and that I would be arrested at work.
