Brian Mercer with Advanced Check Processing on behalf of Baham Marketing Group called my employer and reported that it was urgent that he get in contact with me. He went on to state that he had a warrent for my arrest, issued by the state of Florida and I would be arrested if I did not contact him and resolve the matter involving internet fraud: a loan that was obtain online and not repayed.
Mercer went on to tell my employer that if I was arrested that I would lose my nursing license and would never be able to get it back. Naturally my supervisor was alarmed. She tried to reach me at home and by cell phone but I did not answer. (I was sick that day & was laying down)
My supervisor came to my home and told me what was said by Mercer & that she had a number for him. She said "get your home phone or your cell phone and call. We need to get this taken care of today."
I was Mortified! Humiliated! Embarressed! Confused! It was my understanding that I had repaid this loan. (It was for $300. Oo... With interest minus Mercer's $1200.00 fee I owed $615.41). I spoke with Mr Mercer and was told that I had 1 1/2 hours to get this taken care of because he would be leaving his office. He ask if anybody was at my house because he told a number of people at my place of employment and they were going to be coming over & probably my home voice mail was full with messages. He continued on and told me where to go get a moneygram sent and how to make it out.
I thought maybe I did not pay it back. My son took me to the bank. On the way to Wal-mart Mercer called me on my cell phone. He stated "Where are you at, have you sent the money yet!" I told him I was almost at the Walmart... He said I had to call him back and give him a confermation # so he could be assured that this had been paid. I called him he stated that he would notify his paralegal to have me taken of the list to be prosecuted.
After time to think about all this I located my bank statements and found that I had paid this back already. I called Mercer and just requested a receipt for what I had sent. He put me on hold 2 x's then came back to the phone & stated "all this boils down to is you waited 3 years to pay back this loan"I replied "No! This loan was a year ago and I " he interrupted "quit talking Ms G" "you will get your receipt in 5-7 business days, when you get it you can stuff stuff it up your lawyers' ass". He slammed the phone down.
I called back and spoke with his supervisor... Angela Jenkins... She did not want to hear what I had to say, she stated "we're not going to rant and rave this morning" "What is it you need." "I want my receipt and I want an apology from BRIAN MERCER!" "I can apologize for him and you will receive your receipt in 5 - 7 business days. "She hung up.
I did not owe this money. I got an email this morning from a different company stating I owe $900.00 to Bahama Marketing Group. I called them and needless to say I gave them an ear full.
I'm not paying anything to anybody else related to BAHAMA MARKETING GROUP.
