I was scammed by Monetary Crime Associates! I received a phone call from a man with a heavy Indian accent by the name of Richard Murray. Richard Murray called me several times at work and has been calling my cell phone. I received a message on my work phone number saying to call a certain number back A.S.A.P. I called this number and was appointed to Richard. Richard told me that i took out a Payday loan of 300 dollars and failed to pay it back. Richard stated that i was a fradulent person and that a company by the name of American Payday Loan who is affliated with payday loan companies. Richard stated that i was set to be due to court that Monday, and he needed to talk to my attorney. I told him i had no idea I had a court date and do not remember taking out a loan with this company. I was told that if i didnt pay the 300 plus the interest it accrued, which was now1400 dollars, that my job would be notified that i was a fradulent person and felony action would be taken. I got so scared, that Richard said if i can pay some now. They can work with me. I told him i could only pay 200 dollars and pay the rest on Aug 15th. Richard made me send a fax, witht he words he told me to write. Which i did! He called me today to pay the rest of the money. I told him i had time to think about things. And i wasnt going to pay anything more until i had the documents stating what I owed and for what company. I told Richard that i checked my bank account and emails and i didnt see anything like this on my statements. I even asked him to provide me with this companies phone number so i can talk to them. Richard said this company would not talk to me becuase they consider me a fraud! When i asked him again to give me the proof, he stated that i would get all of this information in 48 hours after i paid the full amount. On another note, Richard told me this company has left me several phone messages and sent me emails and letters to my house (which i obviously did not receive) I did some research and found out that a lot of people have reported this company has a scam. Thank god i decided to research this and realized I was being scammed. I contacted my bank and told them to NOt let this company take any money out of my account. I called Richard and told him i will not give approval to take out the rest of the amount. I told him this was a scam and that My lawyer (which I lied) told me not to pay this until i have proof. Richard then stated that i would receive the information in 48 hours. Let see if i will actually get anything! Just wanted to share this with everyone, so they are aware of these SCAM artist!
