Over a month ago my fiancé began receiving phone calls from a company CashNet / PayDay stating that he had an unpaid loan. It was hard to even get them to say exactly what company they were "representing" (At the time of the original calls we had just paid of a legitimate loan) We have never dealt with either of these companies. The callers always have a strong Pakistan or Indian accent and will not provide any information as to amount, account number their address etc however they know everything from our DOB, SS # and place of employment and references phone numbers. Other family members have also had harassing calls demanding payment from them too. They call a minute apart over 8 times in a row. They have left voice mails representing themselves as "cops" and FBI agents, have threatened to lock him up and spend "life behind bars" and get him fired from his job and also "drag" his employer to jail. To complete the script they say "God Bless' at the end of the message. When I tried to get firm information as to what might be the specifics of what is owed they become extremely rude and use intimidating tactic to get you to give out even more personal information. The worst was today when they actually played a tape of a child being murdered. There was terrorist style laughter in the background. He then asked me "if I liked it?" and stated that he was going to kill my children.
When I did a search on the internet I found hundreds of complaints with the same American sounding names and phone numbers that we have documented over the last 3 months of calls. All of the stories mirror exactly what we have been through and heard. Some families have even had sexual comments made to their children. I'm sure that will also be coming in the months ahead. This is deplorable and this group of foreign scam artists could very well be terrorists as well. They have thousands of people's personal information and knowledge of their banking and employment. We need to unite together and get this to stop. Please help us and the thousands of other families that somehow got their personal information compromised by using a loan place. It is very scary and I don't know what to do. I have found the complaints on consumeraffairs.com and http://usashameboard.com I have also contacted the FBI and our local police departments. Does anyone else have any successful tactics to get this to stop? I am very concerned for us all.
