I received a phone call this morning from, Albert Johnson, representing a law firm in California. He had such a thick middle eastern/indian accent it was difficult to understand him. He said I was being taken to The Supreme Court of California, for fraud and a few other charges, pertaining to a payday loan, in the amount of $3,000.00 that I took out and never paid back. He said the paper work was being sent out, along with a warrant for my arrest. OR, I could pay back the $3,000.00 plus his attorney fee of $450.00, right now, and no further action would be taken against me. I told him that I never took out this loan and asked if he could give me the Cash Advance phone number and loan number, so I could call them and get this straightened out. He didn't have any of this information. I told him I would have to look at my records and get back to him. I told my wife what the call was about and she said it sounds like a scam. Since when do attorneys go "looking for work"? When you are served with warrants, you don't get a call from a lawyer first, offering assistance. When I called them back, I spoke with several people, all claiming to be Albert Johnson, and I couldn't really understand them because of their accents. That's when I told them I needed to try and contact US Cas Advance myself, to resolve this. When I started to look up their phone number, I came across all of these complaints that were very similar to my experience. I'm sure they will be calling me again. It is a little unnerving to know these people had all of my personal inormation, ie. Social, bank account, etc. They need to be stopped, but how?
