This is from some company called FDC which they work for US National Bank which is a holder of payday loans.  They have been calling me for the past week trying to get me to pay $3200 for a loan that I know nothing about.  They said to send them $500 to prevent investigators from coming to my home.

I too have fallen for this scam and paid them $750.00.  They called me at my place of employment and the man's name was Alex Smith.  However, the number that he gave me to call him back was 319-228-0159 or 319-228-0163.  He also told me he was from US National Bank.  He said he had a court affidavit and said if I didn't settle out of court, I would be arrested for internet and check fraud etc etc.  I sent the money via Moneygram also to the company CRC in Athens, GA.  After googling the 2 numbers he gave me, I saw your complaint along with the others. They were expecting me to send my last payment of $450 this past Fri(9/7) however, I did not and nor am I going to. I also tried calling both of the above numbers above and could not get through at all.  It either said your call did not go through or the person is not accepting incoming calls at this time. I expect I will be getting a call from the tomorrow about it, but I am going to press the issue for a physical address and refuse to pay them.. I still have not filed a report with the attorney general or police but plan on doing it soon.  I can't believe I fell for this especially since they couldn't tell me the original creditor or send me any paperwork.  I just got scared and sent them the money.  I hope no one else falls for this. Please learn from my experience.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you.  The money was sent via Money Gram (cash). This is where the money was sent to:

CRC (This was the 'supposed' name of the company)
I do not have a street address
Athens, Tennessee was the city and state.

I was told to use my ss# and the name Bryan after the ss# as my account #.  
and in the message section, I had to write: No legal action

The name of the individuals were Danuel Lopez and Bryan ??  (I know these were not their real names. They were both Hispanic and spoke very poor English.)

Please keep me posted on the status.  Or let me know if you need any further information.  My local police dept. is handling it currently but because it's our of their jurisdiction, they will have to contact authorities in Iowa as that is the area the phone number is from. Also the states Attorney General is investigating as well. I have not yet retained an attorney but have contacted one.

It is my hope that many more will come forward that have been affected by this and hopefully we can help with solving this crime.

Thank you for your help with this.

PSTeacher.  I was wandering if you had any of the information available as to where you sent the money so I can get it to my attorney tomorrow.  He is documenting everything and getting ready to try and file a lawsuit against this company or whoever it is that is harassing and threatening.  I will make sure you get your money back someway somehow.

Do you have the information that you sent the money to?  I was just curious.  I am going to the police department tomorrow to turn over all of this information as well as these postings from others like you and I that have been hoaxed on this.  I am going to find out about filing a lawsuit against these individuals.

I know my credit was already bad, but now that I have placed fraud alert on the three credit bureaus now I am never going to be able to get a loan which I need for my disabled wife.

I fell for this scam on August 30, 2007 and sent $8000.00.  I've made a police report and a report with the attorney general. I urge you to make a report to your local police department and the attorney general. And please let the police dept. know that there are others out here that it is happening to.  Please write back with any questions.

I have been receiving phone calls from this number and other ones stating that they were officers with U.S. National Bank and trying to collect on a payday loan that I was supposedly to have.  They told me I needed to pay the $3200 or I am going to be picked up for fraud.  When I asked for who the payday loan was through they just said one of the companies U.S. National Bank is a holder of.  Now they say that I am going to have to send them $500 in order to prevent them from sending an investigator to pick me up.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
