My husband has been receiving voice mails for some time from a gentleman with a very heavy indian accent. He never leaves a number and it always shows up as a series of 0's on our caller ID.
Today, for the first time my husband actually spoke to this man who claimed at first he was an employee of Cashnetusa and that we had taken out a pay day loan in 2007. He told us the loan was for $350 and that with fees was now $950. We have NEVER taken a payday loan from anywhere. When my husband asked for a specific date the man became agitated and told him he would be arrested, that he was filing papers with the court house at 6pm tonight and he would have to appear in court by 11am tomorrow morning in CA. We live in Ma!
He then went on to say that my husband was being investigated for criminal activity, he wishes him luck and only god could help him now. However, he did leave my husband with a phone number to call him back at should he want to settle this debt over the phone. SO, I called cashnetusa myself. I was told this man was a fraud. I then called the number myself and when the man answered he said the name of the business was something I could not understand, although I did manage to recognize the words legal and services, he then demanded to know who I was, told me I had no right to call him, and not to call again.
So, I called back a bit later from a different phone. Told him I was calling on behalf of a client and wanted to settle the debt. He was more than happy to give me info on what the debt amount was. Funny thing was, I never told him WHO I was calling on behalf of, so how could he know which debt to quote? I forgot to add that this time he answered the phone as Kaplan Law Firm. He goes by the name of Mr. Jones. I called him several more times during the course of the day and each time he answered with a different business name. At first he told me he was cashnet usa. The next call he was a debt collector who bought the debt. The next call he was a law firm. BEWARE do NOT give him any info!
