All the same happened to me.

All this same stuff has been happening to me over 1 year.  I applied for aloan but never accepted it, yet they have been harrassing me.

I have received the same calls as you. Told me the were the "Law Firm" for Cashnet Usa calling because I got and never paid back a payday loan which is not true as I never received a loan. Said they had filed a case against me and I had to be in court at 11am and that they were sending someone to my house to arrest me so I better have someone to bail me out. Said I owe well over $5000 with all the legal fees. To me it just smelled like a scam mostly because I never got a loan from Cashnet and also because they said that I had to be in court but I was never served or mailed papers from the State of Maryland.

I contacted Cashnet. Told them that someone called representing them and before I could get it all out she was like, "I'm so sorry. We get at least 50 calls a day from people just like you that get these calls. These people have nothing to do with us. It is a scam. Please dont give them any information. We are investigating. Please hold for the fraud department." I was transferred and they took all the information about my calls and they said they have an ongoing investigation going on. The number to call at Cashnet is 866-254-3581

Take care~

i also had someone call me by the name of Michel vactner. he said i was wanted for welfare fraud. but i did a little digging and found out it was a lie.

I got the same call.  They have been calling my cell phone for a week and leaving me URGENT messages to call them and then yesterday they called me at work, and gave me the same line about me oweing on a payday loan, which I knew that I never took out.  They said I needed to take care of it today or I would have to go to court the next morning.  They said someone would show up at my work to take me to court.  Scary part is, they had some of my personal information, and some of it was correct.  

I called my bank and they suggested, to be safe that I close out my accounts and open new ones, and that I check my credit report for anything I dont recognize.  It was definitely some sort of scam, just seems no one really understands what exaclty they were trying to do.  


Just make sure that you do not give them any information, or confirm anything.  

Thanks,

I received this exact same phone call yesterday, they told me that they would be there today to serve me a warrant for my arrest and I would have to explain it to a judge. They said that I could pay them the $1095.00 or I would have $4,000-$5,000 in court costs.  They call me several times a day, yesterday just got a little more heated.  The woman who calls says her name is Anna Wilson, the supervisor name is Ryan. They said that they are calling from Cashnet. I called Cashnet, they also own Advance America, I had a loan with them years ago.  They believe this is how they got my name. They new alot of information about me, where I worked, where I live, my last four of my social, where I bank at, my kids names.  I was very frightened and I thought that I had been a victim of "idenity theft" and almost paid it so that I didn't go to jail. I called the Sheriff Department and they helped me to understand what happened. Whatever you do, don't give them any information!!

I recieved a phone call from a number AT WORK that told me I was being taken to court by this man claiming to work for the law firm and that I had to be in court tomorrow. This is not right, and if it was true, no documents have been mailed.

i also  recevied a phone call like that claming that they were a law office that represented pay day loans  and that i took a loan from pd loans of they amount of 584.28 which was supposely in october 2010 and supposely did not pay them back  and i was being lawsuited by them and i would be taken to court  and so i told them i was looking a my bank statement online right now and said that there was no deposite of that amount from pay day loan which was supposely be deposited in october 2010 and i said it was not on my bank statement he said to me are you calling me a lier and that he said i have your bank statments and recordes right in front of me and so he said that can settel it out of court so i did panecked and said sure so he said ok i said i wont get my money until friday and he said that i can use my credit card  then he handed the phone to this other law officer named travis victor which both of them sounded india  so this lawyer told me to write a letter say that i will be paying the amount of 584.28  by april 15  by using my card  and  my drivers lincense  and to fax the to the oocr documents so any when i got of the phone with them i called pay day loan and asked  if i took out a loan  of the amount of 584.28 the said no and whoever called me it was a scam and i was not the only who was scamed so the next day i went to my bank and canceled my credit card

This whole thing is a scam! These guys are not in the U.S. nor are they able to take legal action on us. An Indian "officer" by the name of Tom called not telling me who i owed, why i owed it or anything but rather making sure i know that there is a legal financial issue tied to my SS number. He said I can get a settlement for 825. I said no way and he said well tell me what you can pay. I said im at work ill call you back so that i could contact my lawyer. He started demanding that i tell him how much i can pay. Eventually he said he'll call back in one hour.

I called back with my lawyer on the line and she spoke to him. When she asked what is your address He said Dallas Texas.......she asked him to be more specific and he said, "look mam, i dont have to discuss anything with you!" screaming. She went on to tell him his legal right as a so called debt collector and he kept screaming at her and said "well i will call his manager at work!" lol.

DO NOT GIVE THESE GUYS ANY INFO, NOR ANY PAYMENT!! THEY ARE AN ILLEGAL OPERATION. MY LAWYER HAS CONFIRMED THAT THEY CANNOT ARREST ANYONE NOR ARE THEY LEGAL ALLOWED TO REPEATEDLY CALL US. ALSO, THE LAW STATES THAT WITHIN 5 DAYS OF A CALL FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR THEY HAVE TO PROVIDED IN WRITING THE DETAILS OF YOUR DEBT. HANG UP ON THEM AND TELL YOUR COMPANIES SECRETARY OR YOUR MANAGER YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED AND THAT ANY CALLS FROM INDIANS FOR YOU SHOULD BE IGNORED.

I also received  call from the above number 5/09. I have since received a call on 6/3/10 and 6/8/10 from number 760-514-0172 and 352-390-2183. Thanks to all that have posted a comment.  I was very upset and scared that I would lose my job because of their claims.

OMG!!! I just received a few calls from some people with VERY heavy Indian like accents claiming to be from a MOnroe something law frim in LA and said I have a lawsuit filed against me for a $300 loan I NEVER took out in JAN 2009...the thing was this person knew my name and who i was before he even answered the phone or i ever spoke.. they also knew my current bank name and even some references they named but I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY WOULD GET THIS INFO.  the thing that was fishy was I havent had that bank too long so I dint have it in Jan 2009 when they claim the funds were transferred to my acct...I told him that and I stated I have my statements to prove it and he was SO RUDE and said take it to court and we will show our proof against you...he spoke too fast when reading the supposable affidavit he read me my rights which made no sense why he would do that.... and i hardly understood a word and when i asked to speak to someone witha uthority or written documents he said no that he will see mein jail and hung up....WHAT THE HELL!!!! hOW WOULD HE KNOW all this info if I know better than to EVER provide it on the web??? what should I do?

Yvette,I had the same person call me today from a blocked number.  He was extremely rude and even cursed.

I just had a phone call from this person as well today and I was freaking it out.  thanks for posting this.  I find it scary they have my info.

I wanted to post the call I received as best I could understand what this woman was saying so that you all could hear what I had to hear four (4) separate times.  The first two times it was quite a bit unnerving. The threats!-(it simply can't be legal to say that to someone... and they were aware that they were being taped because they left it on my voicemail...4 times!) Anyway, I tried to transcribe it as best I could.  Here goes...

?This msg is intended for?.
???? ?as soon as you receive this msg, I need you or your atty of record to return my call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My name is Anna Wilson and my callback number is ? Do not disregard this msg and rtn the call.
And now, if you don?t return the call and I don?t hear from your atty either, the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you.?

However, when they called back three days later the msg left have one more sentence appended  - ?And best of luck for your ????

Because of the extremely heavy accent, I don?t know how the best of luck sentence ended though I played that msg over and over at least 5 times.  I thought she?d said ?and best of luck for your children?.  I was livid!  And I almost called them back, but they would have denied saying that, and I would have been extremely frustrated trying to communicate with this woman who had a very heavy accent and who was reading from a script and probably couldn?t deviate from it.

These people should get their stuff together and at least be consistent. They sound like a bunch of rude, bumbling idiots (not because of the accent) reading word for word from a script. However, the script is intended to frighten you into calling them immediately.  I shall not be moved. They need to sell the debt back to the originator and deal with me like civil folks should. Then we?ll both be happy ? they?ll be paid and I will be rid of them forever.

Okay, so I've received 4 calls from this number.  Two to my cellphone and two to my work number.  None of which I responded to, which means I have 4 voicemails.  Two came in on Monday, and then two today.
They called my cellphone and left a msg, and then called my work phone immediately thereafter, in both cases, and left a msg (I was sitting right here monitoring but not answering because caller ID displayed as "anonymous" or "private number" on cell, and just at "0" on work phone.  I do owe a payday loan, but they were so rude and nasty with me when I tried to straighten it out (two weeks after the incident) that I said 'screw it'.  For a long time afterwards (the original transaction was approx May 2008) they'd send me emails on a regular basis (at my job).  This lasted for approx 6 months.  A couple of times, I received a 'settlement' letter stating they'd settle for the amount borrowed (I suppose they were going to eat the fee).  Every now and then, I still get promotions from them stating I'm pre approved for a PDL.  Then sometime around January I started getting these calls from some "law firm".  I never returned the calls.  They continued leaving msgs for a couple of months until they finally gave up.  Then another law firm starting calling and leaving msgs at work and on my cellphone.  Funny thing about this one is, they'd called and left msg on my cellphone, then called my job right afterward.  Cellphone msg stated I had until Friday at 2pm or the att would be filing paperwork in court.  Because my work voicemail stated I was on vacation thru Friday, the msg left at my job stated "since you are on vacation, I will ask the atty to hold off filing the paperwork until Monday, but you must contact me on Monday or I won't be able to do anything to help you." I didn't call back, so they called me again that Monday and left a "by 5pm today" deadline.  I didn't call back, so I got another msg on Wednesday giving me a 2pm on Friday deadline.  They finally stopped calling with the threats and I guess they've now sold the debt to this company.  I'm willing to pay..but only the amount I borrowed. They can sell this debt over and over again and until someone sends me something in writing, prior to me paying, or sends me a judgment from the courts, I won't be dealing with these nasty, greedy folks.
BTW- Most of the internet PDL company's aren't licensed to practice in the state of Calif (I didn't know that when I started to deal with them). If any company is offering you a loan for more than $300 and/or asking more than $45 return on that money for a two week period, they probably fall under those not licensed to practice in Calif.  Sorry about the length of this msg.  I didn't intend for it to be so long.  I still didn't get to inform you all of the msg that I received from this new company.  It was scripted (all four times, exactly the same wording).  You'll love this.  More later.

I received a call from the same number twice now and i didn't return the calls until i read the above posting so for kicks and grins i decided to call and see just what they had to say. I spoke to a guy named Ryan he said that he was with the crime division and that tomorrow at 7am the law would be at my house and my place of employment to arrest me. i asked what for and he said all the information would be in the documents the police had. I than proceeded to tell ryan that i knew this was a scam for two reasons 1st reason i knew was because if the police were going to come and arrest you they would not call you ahead of time and tell you because than you can run and 2nd of all i explainded to him how i was reading right now on line all about his scam that he has tried on other people and i proceded to tell him i wasn't dumb enough to fall for this and if he ever called again i would turn it over to the law and that i had his two messages he left on my voice mail plus this call was be recorded. I didn't give him a chance to respond i just hung up. but what gets me and what i really want to know is how did he know all my information such as name address and where i worked? thats what scares me that sick people like this have access to this kind of personal information

I received a call from a so called Matthew Adams who then passed me to the supervisor by the name of Jeff Stewart from a 201-234-4715.  They claim the company name is National Monitoring Crime Agency working for either a Cashnet.com (which I never used) and said I logged onto a CITYFINANCIALLOAN.COM (which I never used either).  They claim I took out $300 and owe now over $1000+ to them for legal fees but won't give me contact info to the creditor or any documenation.  FYI...I told them I have every legal right to obtain any documentation especially if it's a lawfirm.  They had all my personal info which I'm sure they got from an application.  They also said they would have me sign an OOCR document (Out Of Court Resolution document) but won't fax or email prior to me paying something.  This is obviously a scam from what I can see.  He claimed I took this loan on 5/2008 or near that time.  Odd thing, he could never give me a straight answer just asked for my attornies information.  This is truly odd and I'm baffled by this.  I have googled this company and address which is WEBSITE TOWER, W. OLYMPIC BLVD, SUITE 1001, LOS ANGELES, CA 90066 and have found nothing...just the phone number led me here.  I'm reporting them and I think all you should too! They also claimed to pick up and arrest my referrals as well.

I contacted Cashnet. Told them that someone called representing them and before I could get it all out she was like, "I'm so sorry. We get at least 50 calls a day from people just like you that get these calls. These people have nothing to do with us. It is a scam. Please dont give them any information. We are investigating. Please hold for the fraud department." I was transferred and they took all the information about my calls and they said they have an ongoing investigation going on. The number to call at Cashnet is 866-254-3581

Take care~

I JUST RECIECVE THE SAME CALL FROM THIS DAM HINDO O INDIAN SPEAKING A**LE SAYING ABOUT I WAS BEING TAKEN TO COURT ON MONDAY KEPT SAYING SOMTHING ABOUT CASHNET. SOMEONE SHALL BE TAKING THE PAPERS TO MY JOB. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HIM. THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE IN THE BACKGROUNDTHE WEIRD THING IS THAT A FEMALE(SHE SAID HER NAME WAS JANE)CALLED MY COMPANY CELL PHONE TO CONTACT THEM IMMEDIATELY. CASHNET SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS AND HOPE THEY LOOK INTO THIS SCAM O HOAX.

Some woman called me saying she is calling from "the law firm" and I need to call back ASAP or my attorney. I called back and a rude man that also had a heavy Indian accent tells me that I have a lawsuit filed againist me by Cashnet and they gave me a payday loan back in March (not true as I never got one) and that they are having me arrested in the morning and I have a court date on Monday morning at 11am. I have never been contacted by any form of court or police. They want over $5000 from me and everyone I tell about it thinks its a scam. It has to be since I never got a loan from this company. I am thinking another company sold my information to these scammers. I am going to contact Cashnet and see what they have to say.

Either it is a hoax or a scam.  However, if you ever had a pay day loan with cashnet.com be sure it was paid off.

DON'T listen to the nonsense about being able to get a judgement against you if you never were served with legal papers, etc.  The people calling are not lawyers and definitely know nothing about Federal credit or State credit laws.

A person with one of the strongest Indian accents I have ever heard called and threatened my husband and myself with a lawsuit or JAIL over a payday loan that we did not take out. (Not to mention the headache from the background noise, it was like talking to someone in front of a jet engine.)

I checked through three years of bank statements, and there was no 'cashnet.com'.  The few PDLs we had to take out in emergencies have all been paid off (I printed and kept all four of the contracts).

When I told him that in Texas the owner of the phone can tape their own conversations and I was taping all of his threats--all of which were illegal under Federal law and Texas law--he really freaked out.  He told me his name was 'David Jones' (er, right), and that either my husband or I had to call the office at 201-234-4715.

What really bothered me is the guy didn't have our names, refused to send any form of documentation by fax, email, or snail mail, and I truly believe the whole thing was a setup to get our SSNs and other info.  The only thing the guy had was our phone number.

This guy left a message and I spoke with him while I was at work.  He can does not speak clear english, will not tell me who he is with and asks for all sorts of personal info.  I don't think so.  All he would say is he's with The Law Firm.  yeah whatever pal!  So what happened to those of you who spoke with him.

I just recv'd a phone call from this number claiming to be a law frim..he stated that I had a judgement against me....Is this a hoax?

they called me did the same thing I asked why no documents have been mailed

warning that I am being sued by cash net, that i need to reply immediatley, 1 call came into my home phone and I received a second call from him at my work place, yes he actually called me at WORK!!!!!

this person claims 2 be a law firm representing cashnet.com  notifying you that you r being took to court i think it is a scandal because he asks info almost to ensure that what his data is corrects  ,plus if  you were being called to court in any city it would not be over the phone,it would be with postage stamped legal documents
