I received the same message. I have never even done a cash advance. And I haven't had a personal loan since 1999.

I too received this e-mail but it was from Alvin Parker stating I owed $14986 to some company i never heard of.  He also said I would be charged in court for fraud and deception and that the US government is putting my ss# on hold.  The funny thing was the ss# was all in astericks and even one number was listed.  Plus his english was not very good.  Some of the sentences were worded strange?? His e-mail was federal restitution department @ gmail??? Really since when does the US government send you an e-mail instead of a letter...also wouldn't the government know your ss#???  Really stupid...please no one fall for this scam. This is really funny he stated the"attorney journal" of my state will be handling my case??? Does anybody know what that is..not me!

I too,just received a 2nd email from an Alvin Parker with Jack Dawson letter head this time,same story as last time,still can't spell correctly,i actually spoke to someone from the number on the email,he is either indian or pakastani. I took the first email to the police and they filed a harassment claim for me,i will be taking this also to the police. I also emailed Alvin parker back and let him know that I know where he is located and will be forwarding everything to the FBI.

I received another email from "Jack Dawson"  with pretty much all the same crap as the one from two weeks ago.  This time however he is no longer using the Rios name (I bet that firm is happy about that tid-bit).  Instead he is claiming to be from "State Investigation Department" and advising me that a lawsuit has been filed in my name.  If that is the case then I expect to see a process server showing up at my door.  This guy is slime.  I feel sorry for anyone who fell for the scam.  Clearly people do or these idiots wouldn't be doing this still.  

Hello everyone. I received a call today from a lady in New Orleans inquiring into an email that she received from this "Jack Dawson" with the "Rios law firm." This is NOT from our law firm and it is certainly a scam. I would highly advise you not to reply.

We are filing a complaint with the Texas Attorney General's Office for using our law firm's name in this scam. I repeat that this "Jack Dawson" is in no way or manner connected to our law firm, The Rios Law Firm, P.C. and we sincerely apologize for this confusion.  Rios & Associates, another name used in this scam, is a firm out of Houston that we have dealt with as well in our practice. They are a firm with a good reputation that does insurance defense work. There is no possible way I can imagine that they are involved in this situation.

By the way, we found this site as many of you did, by googling the number and the name "Jack Dawson." Thank you for the site for providing this service.

Sincerely,

Roberto Rios
The Rios Law Firm, P.C.

I just received the email today from Jack Dawson my ssn is listed as well that is what scares me more.  I am glad I researched this because I wouldn't think a law firm would email vs sending a certified letter.  He does misspelled check.

I just received an email from the same person. I want to know how they got my SS#. I will report this to the police tomorrow as I personally know several police on the local force here in my city that work with Identity theft and those counterfeit checks that were being sent out for people to cash and then wire money.

I received the same email also from Jack Dawson with a phone # 214)320-1009 today. I wont lie it scared at first me but as I read the email there are some red flags. For one I would expect a letter from the law firm not a email in my opinion that is just unprofessional. I noticed he spells check wrong or at least different than we do. He also will tell you that you ssn# is put on hold by us government. I hope and pray that other people see right though him and know its a scam. I will report him to law enforcement.

just got this email and I called the number,someone who said he was jack dawson answered the phone,an indian or pakastani man answered,so that drew a red flag right away,since his name didn't match his voice,told I owed after interest over $600.00 but I had to ask him 3 times what the original amount was if there was one. he said $300.00 another red flag I never had a pay day loan in that amount. the was threatening and a real a--hole. I checked the number,it is listed as a cell phone number in whatahachie, texas think I spelled it right. what out for this guy. taking the email to the police tomorrow.

I also received the same email from Jack Dawson and the same phone number. I agree this is a scam. Any legitimate company who has a complaint against you has to notify you per serving you notification.  Realizing we are the "lucky ones" and investigated this email, I feel terrible for those who, as we are, honest folks but don't investigate and pay these people. It doesn't take much to set up a system such as this and like me, such threats scare me.  I've had medical issues that make my memory poor, making me a perfect victim for these kinds of folks.  Please, do leave comments and also report to appropriate legal systems, it helps those of us who fall prey to these people.  Thank you so much for relieving my mind, as I couldn't find anyone that I owed anything to and in investigating, couldn't find any such company and thus did a phone search, which did provide what I felt was happening. Keep up the good work and let's consistently not give what these folks want, to steal money from good people trying to do the right thing.

I received the same email.  The guy is a fraud.
By the way... Jack Dawson is Leo's character in TITANIC... red flag.  

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I too received an email from "Jack Dawson" with the 214-230-1009 phone number and at first is scared the bejeezus out of me before I read it closer.  the name was familiar so I looked it all up and landed here.  Glad to see my sense was right and this is a total scam.  Now, who do I report this crap to???

No message left. Do not know who called me.

I too, got email with message stating I owe U S Cash Advance, I already paid some firm from Geogia for this loan.  I don't owe this company anything.  No paper mail, just email.  I also  tried Rios firm and found nothing.  Maybe he's the one whom claimed my SSN, for his spouses number on his IRS tax 1040 form for 2013, somebody did, and the jokes on them, IRS is after them for ID theft and fraud.  Plus, the scammer or not, he can't spell check right.  On the email I got, he spelled check as checque or something like that.  That's the foreign spelling from either French or England , European spelling of word check.

Already did

I reported to local law and FBI .. He's good protect yourself

I am going after this idiot lol

I too received this big email about having me arrested because I owe a company called Cash Advance America for a payday loan.  I've never had an advance with this company.  States his name as Senior Attorney Jack Dawson from Rios and Associates. Not even sure what to think

Scam email.

I got the same email. I am printing it off and taking to the police.

Bogus number.  Says they are a law firm that has a case against me.  Did reverse look up and no such law firm identified.  No paperwork mailed just an email.  Scam - be careful!
