CashNet
Fraud

My job got a phone call and they called me at home said I got a very important call saying it was important to call right away called this number 901 302-4958 ext 7001, was told to contact Sgt Ian Bishop the gentelman sounded Indian or middle eastern, not sure, very hard to understand, couldn't understand what company they were from (Bureau Criminal Investigation of New York), so they asked me is my name etc, I answered yes, they pulled up my information and said I defaulted on a loan from Cashnet and I need to pay the loan in the amount of $800.00 or they will sattle for $538.08, I said what loan, if I did not pay I will go to court, I was very confused, I asked what this was all about, they said they would need to read the affidavit and that I need not speak till they were done then they answered my questions, they read it, told me all my personal information, includin birthday and SS #. I was freaked out they claimed to be Bureau Criminal Investigation of New York, crime division, told me I had to pay or they will have a criminal suite againest me, They said I owed $300.00 plus fees which would be $752.80. I could settle it now before any action was taken. I told them I need more information on the loan and compay, They are to call me back on Wednesday at 3:30 with more information, see as I pay all my bills on time but still questioned myself because I have applied for loans online. But I went thru all my bank statements from 2010 (since they would only tell me it happened last year, they wouldn't even give me the date time for my fake loan, lol) anyway had no deposits from cashnet or no bounced electronic withdrawls. Also called the FBI, Sheriff's dept. And another online cash company to see if this fraud and how they do the loan process, they all stated this is fraud and loan company does not call until you are late and the send letters letting you know you are late. Of course I didn't, called cashnet.com they said they have investigation goin on that is has been happening with there company as well as others, so be aware of any personal information on the internet, cause it is easily stolen. I reported this to the FTC and my Bank and put a fraud alert on my credit, better safe than sorry, so I suggest anyone who has this happen think before you react, cause they try to scare you into paying them before you have time to logically think about it, I had to calmed down and think about what I was saying and how ridiculous it sounded. Be careful, dont be fooled.
