Today I received an email message from my executive administrator at my office informing me to call a Doug Fletcher. I thought nothing of it because I assumed it was work related. But when I got home I had 4 messages from this same person saying that I need to contact them or have my attorney contact them.
Needless to say, I contacted them a few times and just got busy signals or a message saying that the person i was calling was unavailable. So I kept calling to see what this was about. Finally, "Doug" got on the line saying that I owed Quick Cash (one of the companies supposedly owned by Fash Cash International) for a $400 payday loan that was charged off in Nov'08. I was shocked. So I proceeded to ask for documentation and informed him that this was the first I had heard of this.
"Doug" began to give me information about myself. He knew my address, bank name, bank routing number, a friend of mine's name, and relative who turned out to be my husband. So I continued to ask for docs related to this and he kept trying to talk over me. He kept telling me that they are a law firm and have beeb hired to go after me for this debt. Then I asked for a supervisor, he put me on hold. Another guy got on the line and I began to question him about proof of this because he had too much of my personal nformation. "Mr. Martinez" began to tell me that it is his job to try to settle this out of court. He began to tell me of the possible costs of going to court and ho it would be best to settle with him now for $891.42. Also, that if i did not take the settlement, documentation would be sent to my HR person for garnishments and I will serve jail time once I was prosecuted in court for not paying back this loan.
After he went on about jail time for such a small amount, I jumped on my computer to google this place and found all of this stuff written. I begin to tell him that I just searched this company online and he tried to offer me all types of excuses. He tried to say that these people are relatives of those who have went to jail because of nonpayment and they want revenge, that the information can be entered by anyone an that it is not valid, he even refeered to one person imparticular (Nicole) and tried to offer me her number for me to call her. I told him to give it to me and he began to tell "doug", the one who called me first, to look up the info and he read me some bogus phone number. I told him that that was not the number listed here (and it wasn't). He then tried to back peddle by saying that they have thousands of people in their database, blah blah blah. I reminded him that he offered me the information, i didn't as for it. He got really mad and said he didn't want to talk to me anymore and hung up on me.
What a bunch of BS!!! I am really upset about this and will be filing an Identity theft report because this is unreal. How did these people get so much of my personal information?!?
