this a**hole keeps calling my wife. She reported it to the police, our bank, the Attorny General, and to the Secret Service. Dont send them any info

My company has received several phone calls from "Sgt. Danny Lopez" at 214-723-5573 this morning. The jerk has been threatening one of our employees for a month or so. Thankfully I found this site and found the correct steps to take. Everything stated above in previous posts all check out with our scenario, too. Company name "United Legal Investigations", the voice accents, rude and abusive language, etc. What I would give to have my hands around these guys' throats right now. The V.P. of the company got on the line with these guys several times; one call right after another.

What is scary to me is how these idiots get information and how they are sheilded by these bogus numbers. I called the local law enforcement and there is nothing they can do. Phone company was useless, too. I am calling the FBI in moments.

I started receiving calls a week ago from a "Danny Lopez" stating he was sargent danny lopez with the bureau of investigation and that he had a case file stating i had committed internet fraud and that I owe him $550.00 by 5 pm or he was going to have me arrested. When I asked for additional information he refused to give it to me. He became angry and threatened with being arrested. After that phone conversation, he began calling me at work 7-8 times day and at home. Today, He left a message with my manager threatening my place of employment "stating he was going to take this business down" Hospital security was notified. I had already filed 2 complaints with the FTC. Tomorrow, I am filing a complaint with the Phoenix police dept.
I am also receiving calls from a man and woman from a florida number 305-356-0246 they both have heavy indian accents. They are saying the same thing as Danny Lopez but they are asking for 995.00. This is a major network. I have read some of the posts for the area code 305 and 214. Who knows how many other numbers and people are being affected by this.  Legititmate payday loan companies should want to help us catch this people.

I read your message, and I agree with you. I too, have a payday loan with CashnetUsa which is in good standing. I have also applied with other companies.  So, i believe this is where they got my information. So BEWARE GIVING OUT YOUR INFORMATION.

I think my frustration is how do we catch these guys and keep them from continuing to do this.

A man claiming the name "Danny Lopez" who sounded less Latino and more Thai, Laotian, or Vietnamese, called my girlfriend who did not want to talk with him mostly because he was difficult to understand so she handed the phone to me.  I told him that if he was from sort of collection agency, send a letter and not to call back.  Of course he called back several times.

He also contacted at least one family member and told my checking account and Social Security number to her and said that criminal charges were being filed against ME for a online payday loan through CashNetUSA that was unpaid and was demanding money.

I happen to be a law enforcement officer for nearly two decades and this guy didn't pass the smell test.  I requested the name of his company, the company he was supposedly collecting for and told him he could send whatever information he would like to the police department and I would take a look at it.  He tried arguing with me for some time...this guy is either stupid or has brass balls.

I contacted CashNetUSA who verified loan dates that he provided me but told me my account is in good standing and that all loans were paid on time and in full.  The fact that he had all the information that was provided to the lead source that CashNetUSA used to obtain my loan including SSN, Bank Name, Checking account #, and referrences, leads me to believe one of a few scenarios:

1.)  He or someone he is associated with either works for or knows someone who works for the lead generating company and is unlawfully funneling information to their criminal organization to pretend they are collecting a debt for whatever company the loan was actually funded by in hopes of scaring unwitting people into sending money, or;

2.)  Their organization has obtained this information from other method, i.e. dumpster diving, hacking into data servers, or perhaps they created their OWN payday loan company as a front to purchase lead information under the pretense that they are a legitimate loan company seeking to fund loan requests.

Unfortunately, the list of ways to obtain information on consumers is long and I cannot possibly post them here.  Additionally, I don't want to "train" any bad guys on methods they have not yet tried.

I would highly recommend that you contact your local police agency to initiate a report.  I would also suggest as others have, to contact the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) and initiate a complaint there.  It should be known that many local police departments do not have the resources to investigate Internet fraud or computer related identity thefts so I would also recommend contacting the FBI's Internet Crimes Task Force.  You can get that contact info through the FBI website (www.fbi.gov).

Lastly, I am not certain how the other poster's information was obtained, I am only speculating on how mine was, but if you applied for an on-line payday loan in the past this may be where your information was compromised.  In your complaint I would referrence any on-line loans you may have had or applied for.  This may be a common link where investigators can focus their investigation.

I will continue to check back with this site for any other CashNetUSA users.  I would be interested to gather this info for my contacts with the task forces.

this a***ole keeps calling my wife. She reported it to the police, our bank, the Attorny General, and to the Secret Service. Dont send them any info

My calls started on July 14, another on 15 July, & 2 so far today, all voice mails.  That does not count the three times , so far he has called back today & let the phone only ring once, then hangs up.   Make that 4. Said I must call him immediately. Todays call also included my COMPLETE SSAN & ended with the threat that is I did not return his call I would spend my life behind bars. Make that 5.
This is the same guy that did work for United Legal Processing Department & had called me last month from 702-932-8996.  The voice is the same & the last name is the same.  He also stated that I WILL pay him 4 50 dollars on Thursday.  Fat Chance!!!

we are still getting theses calls from 214-723-5573
This man is crazy please turn him into the Federal Trade Commission and get a case number. Please don't let him scare you we still live in the GREAT PLACE CAlled US OF A . And have rights. TRC 1877-FTC-HELP. Or email them. Pkease help stop this man from collecting Depts. in the USA.

THIS NUMBER HAS CALLED ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO DAYS!!!!  YES IT IS THE SAME PEOPLE FROM THE NUMBERS:  904-328-3050 and 678-954-6346!!!  I ACTUALLY GOT SCARED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND SENT THEM A MONEYGRAM FOR $100 SO I BECAME THE VICTIM!!!!  DO NOT SHARE OR FALL FOR ANY OF THERE THREATS OR TACTICS - EVENTUALLY THEY WILL GET THERES!!!!

These people keep calling me too.  This last one was from George Andersen like Casi B.  i've recieved about 6 calls total. They give me an american name each time but are obviously not american. Almost everytime they've called its been from a different area code.  They have my personal info also.  I'm not sure where they got it from which is scary. They call me at work and at home each time. The first call i recieved the guy said he was an officer, but when i asked for his badge # he would not give it to me. I asked what company he was from and he made fun of my american accent and i could hear other men in the background laughing and then he hung up on me.  My husband even called them back one time and gave them a fake name and magically they found a case file for him.  Do not give them any of you info.  I suggest you file a complaint on the Federal Trade Commission website and report it to the police.  I did. Hope fully it will work.

I'm not sure how to report this guy. This is the second time he's called me in the past couple of months. I tried calling him back and asking his badge number when he called back a few months agao and he became irrate. He said only God could help me if I did not call him back.

We just received a call from this phone number this guy is really crazy.
Please don't give this jerk any of your info. and call the police right a way and report it. We need to send him back to his own country and get people like this out of the USA.

Aaron Carter

These are he same people that are calling from 904-328-3050 and 678-954-6346. These people are crazy or want us to think they are. The guy calling me is Aaron Carter, stating that he is someone from a legal dept. and I am wanted for fraud and a lot of other mess. He has all of my personal information and will not answer any questions that I ask him. He has also called my job and threaten to have me arrested. So, people please be aware of these fools because they are full of it and are looking for anyone that they can make a fool out of.
