A man named daniel scott called and said i needed to contact him involving a legal action he left his name and number. So i called the the man he had all my personal info and bank info he reas to me.He said i owe some money and that i was going to be arrested if not paid i told him he nad the wrong person and how did he get all my information. He said loans were filled out in my name online and i just hung up. A man name dan wilson left me a message saying i needed to contact him but i never did. Then i started recieving unknown and calls from 3233626015 from a daxter cruz saying i was going to be arrested and for defrauding cash advance company called cash advance america. He said he was an attorney and he was trying to recieve the funds from my bank but nothing was there.He said he was going to send papers to courthouse and police was going to arrest me. He said his company was going to sue me for $10,000. I told him it wasnt me and someone must have gotten a hold to my information some how. He said it was happening to alot of people and has to be paid. I asked him how could i avoid being arrested and sued he said i have to get these prepaid cards that i foung out you cant trace and send funds to them with a fax and picture i.d. also that i pay the amount and what date with and signature. He said he was going to call me back after he lets higher authorities know i paid money and that everything was going to be resolved. I ended up giving them about $722 maybe more. I finally told my family and friends what was going on when he called back saying it was a second loan and i had to pay $500 or they were going to send all my money back. My family and friends said something wasnt right and i needed to contact my bank to find out whats going on. I went to my bank told my banker everything that was going on he checked my account activity and said he didnt see anything from cash advance or that fake company trying to get money out of my account. My banker said it sounded like a scam and i gave him the man number and name. He called and nobody answered just a voicemail that said karyn and my banker said it wasnt even a business voicemail. So he googled the phone number it everything that popped up said scam also its a cell phone same with acs law firm and thats when we sy comments and stories. My banker told me to close my bank account which i did and put a freeze on my ssn also report to police dept which i did. After i found out it was a scam the man kept calling my phone my mom answered and said police was tracing phone call then he called a couple hours later so i got unknown and his number blocked from my phone.I have learned and know alot more i am done with banking and this internet thing people can get your info and you never know what will happen and i young adult who just graduated and starting off. ITS ALL A SCAM!!!

I freaking hate low life criminals so much. Rot in hell you scumbags
The charge was probably for their "membership fee" which they probably "disclosed" buried real deep in their fine print.
They typically sell these "leads" to a bunch of equally shady characters, including scammers running fake "debt collection" shakedown rackets.
Disptue the charge as fraudulent, and close the account to prevent additional fraud.
