Well like an idiot I did the same thing. And I sent them $698.00 yesterday because Michael said I owed that to a Cash Advance company, so i became worried because I do have payday loans and I thought I had forgotten to take care of one and according to Michael there will be a warrant for my arrest and a summons to appear in California court, but since I paid that amount he would talk to them and see and not to worry. Well later that day he calls me back and said that they wouldn't accept just that amount that I would have to pay it off which was $2445 minus the $698 that I already sent and this would take care of all pay day loan against my social security number. So in a panic I asked him (michael) if they would give me some time to see if I could get the money, he gave me till noon today 9/19/12. I barrowed $500 from a friend and sent that to him via that greendot moneypak from walmart or cvs. Then he said that he would check to see if they would wait 2 more weeks so I could get the remaining balance, because I said it would take me that long to get it together. He called me back tonight at 5:40pm to tell me that they would only give me till end of the day tomorrow to have the remaining balance paid. So I decided to get on the computer and look up this number 951-389-0279 and found this site with comments. Yes he sounded like Indian and several times I called a woman answered and tonight when I called him back and told him I had found comments about this being a scam he assured me this wasn't and he would issue the papers and refund my money by  the day after tomorrow and I would be arrested and appear in court and stated theres nothing more he could do and hung up, I turned around and called him back, he said the same thing and hung up on me again, I called back and the line was picked up and put on hold and no one answered, I hung up and called back and no one would answer. This is crazy to call someone and scam them for money and scare them half to death and make a person worry theirselves sick. Yes something needs to be done about it. Did anyone get their money back? or should I just face fact that I lost $1100?

We should all just call this no 100 times daily and insult them.

I was framed, unfortunately I was too gullibl in the beginning and fell for their scam!  I was threatened like you allw ere and afraid about being sent to jail and a lawsuit for an unpaid debt. I wasn't sure in the beginning and should have followed my instincts. But I wasn't sure if something slippe through the cracks and I did forget to pay an online debt through a payday loan.  They couldn't tell me exactly who the loan originator was but it was a Cash Advance company that is linked to all types of cash advance loans online.  He kept pressing me about if I don't pay $685.90 by noon that day, the authorities would be after me because there is a warrant for my arrest and a summons would be presented to me.  He asked if I got a mail from them. I didn't check the mail since last week so he never brought that up again. I've been checking my mail and have not received anything related to this.  So I scrambled, afraid and scared to get the amount to him.  he said they will not take credit card or checks or electronic funds from the bank, only cash via a Green Dot Money Pack at CVS or Walmart.  I had to borrow this cash and I was buying time to get it done.  He kept pressing about taking too long and couldn't even sympathize that I had to help my dad who needed help cause his car was stuck.  He insisted I give him a time because the 'people" are pressing him to get this money now so they can relieve me of the charge.  I was down to the wire and stalled him enough with the excuse that the line was long to the cashier.  I got the cash and loaded the Monek Pack. got him the info and he told me that everything will be taken care of and I'll be ok.  He would call me tomorrow morning with a confirmation number.  So next morning, he calls and tells me he has bad news. The money was too late and it cost the $1300 more to have to negotiate with lawyers, etc. And that there is a warrant for my arrest and a summons is being presented to me at my home and workplace.  I nearly cried and begged and pleaded for a resolve...and complained to him (with the Indian accent) name James, that he promised after all the trouble I went through to get him the money, that this would be taken care of.  So he then tells me that those "people" said if I can give $1300 to cover the legal fees then they could write it off, but James was sure I couldn't and told them that I wouldn't be able to.  I was upset and told him I will get that money to him as long as he promises that this time, all will be OK and clear. I needed to come up with the money fast.  Some miracle it did and I called him to tell him I am going to get it to him before noon that day.  And I did.  He called me the next morning and left me a message - that I need to call him back because it's urgent and serious.  I was expected a thank you and acknowledgement... NO.  I finally had a feeling that I was being had!  Augh I am so upset with myself for falling for this.  I finally did some research and contacted a lawyer specializing in these debt collection scams for a free consultation. He advised me that I was indeed a victim and I need to tell these scumbags to go right ahead and send me a summons because all I have to do is tell the court that I paid them $1300 more than the initial so-called debt.  I feel sick to my stomach about this.  The Lawyer advised that I contact my state's attorney general to report this and the FTC too...and seek advise from a lawyer locally.  James called me only once that day...which was weird because initially, he would try and call more than once a day, including my workplace until I called them back!  I wish I never did or I wish I knew better to ask them questions and ask for a formal letter of the originator of the loan, etc.  Augh!  I want my money back!  Any advise? Please let me know!

They call me telling me that I owed a payday loan debt and that if I did not pay it I would be taken to jail. These people are horrible but God is still faithful. They will reap what they are. Sorry about all the people who were scamed including myself, but we know next time. Trust me they will be stopped! I'm making sure of that. Be blessed everyone .

I was almost og victim of this today, I do have a payday loan and thank God I called the real company. They advised that this was a fraud call and not to pay the money! Please, dont allow them to scare you! This is not true. You are a victim

THREATENED ME . I PAID 1,000 , ONLY TO REALIZED ITS A SCAM , I AM DEBT FREE BUT SOMEHOW THEY GOT ME, WE NEED TO SEND THEM TO JAIL.

My brother recevied a call today from this number all worried that he owed money to something, I told him it sounds like a scam , do not wire them money what ever you do, We said we were recording our conversation and they Eric Jones character hung up. We have let BBB know about this as well.

We should all get together an go after these thiefs! I was so irritated just 3 hours after the first call. I should've been a little smarter. Let's join together and press charges against these lying thieves!!

I was scammed out of $503 today from this attny Michelle brown. Her and her co-worker was very rude an claimed that I owed for a payday loan. I told them that I didn't have a payday loan. She was saying tht I had a warrant for my arrest. There was 3 federal felony fraud warrants. She said I had one hour to pay it or I would be extradited to California to face federal charges. Of course I paid te debt b/c I thought if I get the arrest warrants out of the picture then I could fight it there after.
Be careful of this scam!!!!!

Caller said his name was Eric Jones. Said he was a lawyer. He told me to call back on the # he called me from which was 415 329 0507. I called back and a lady answered and said her name was Michelle Brown. She said I had 3 counts of Fraud and that the company Company Cash in Advance was sueing me and that I had a warrant out for my arrest. They ask me for my social # which I refuse to give them. They said that I was going to be arrested and taken to California were I would stand in front of a judge. then I would have to pay 5,000 dollars up front or spend 3 months in jail. the only way they would not proceed is if I paid them 693.43 on that day. I ask them if they had a payment plan, they said I would have to pay half right now. I then asked them were was the money to be sent, she told me to call her back and she would let me know. They sound Indian. Something should be done about people calling and harrassing people and threanting people. Someone need to lock them up!!!!!!
