Yes received same call they told me that the police where coming to my home to pick me up for fraud. Thay have my bank info and ss#. They told me to buy a prepaid visa card and mail to an address in california.

In addition to filing complaints with the agencies discussed above, and notifying your local police department, file a report with the US Postal Inspection Service. This is not some consumer-help agency. This is a real, federal law enforcement agency, complete witrh badges and guns. The Postal Inmspectors have jurisdiction over a wide range of federal laws involving the mail. They have sharp teeth, and they aren't in the least shy about using them.

I got a call from 800-670-2137. Said they were collecting on a pay day loan I had 4 years ago. Called my work repeatedly....when a cp-worker said I was not here "Frank" said I know she is you B$@tch! She hung up and he called again and again. Finally I called back and they wouldnt give me an address or anything. It was a total scam...jut wanted a credit card or bank account #. I'm not a fool. The problem I had was the guy basically said until I give him some money he will just call over and over and over until I get fired. It was blackmail. The police said all I could do is file a harrasment charge. There must be more I can do?? These people somehow have my personal info!!

that is because an illegal pdl you got either gave or sold your info.i would watch your credit report,but they are in INDIA and can really do nothing but call.

I got a weird call from someone with a heavy accent but who said their name was Alan O'Connor claiming I had borrowed $150 online and making all kinds of threats. I never took out a pay day loan online! He was insisting I gave the name of an attorney but would not send me anything directly. Said he was out of California, representing Cal Smith attorneys for paydaythree.com. Anyone else run across them?

again scam in INDIA.next time a call like that happens hang up without a word.file police reports.keep track of all the #'s that come up on caller id.again scam file complaints,and don't talk to them again.

Same thing has been happening to me. They call and say I owe money for a payday loan and that I will get taken into custody if i dont pay. They call from a california number. They said I owed some company, so I went and looked up the company online and called them myself. The guy at the actual payday company said they had no records under my name and come to find out, you cant even get a loan threw there company unless you live in Utah, which I dont. He told me it was a scam and lots of people had been calling to ask what was going on. They call me all the time and have started calling my work. If I tell them to stop calling, they call even more, like 5-10 times within minutes.

then i would stop talking to them.they won't send a thing then they are a scam that can do nothing.they will tire of either getting hung up on without a word,or talking to a message machine.

you cant just hang up on them because they just keep calling back. It makes for a real uncomforatble situation at work. I call them everyday now just to harrass them. They are in India not in CA. They use a ficticious address which is actually a Mailboxes etc address. They have admitted to me several times they dont use their real names because they are told to use fake names by their employer. They are really pretty dumb and try to use intimidation to get money out of you. Just call their bluff then keep calling them back repeatedly and they will stop.

yea I got a call from arnold watson. I filled charges with visa for fraud. I put my account on alert. I also filled charged with the FBI.

I too keep getting these calls....813 388 4157 and when he went to tell me his name it took him almost 4 to 5 seconds to say it. They say there from ACS and took out a loan from Advanced Cash USA in which I have not done. They call your number anyomous then tell you to call a certain number.

I got a scam call too from cashnet. They have me call back 209-622-4581. All indian accents and they give me a different name each time. They also will not provide any information and were rude.

Excuse me can I ask you where you went to file a complaint with FBI? I had a cash loan three years ago and I paid it all off through my checking account. Now they are harrassing family members at their homes asking for me and leaving case# and for me to contact them. I want to file a complaint because I do not want my 85 year old mother being harrassed anymore by these scams.
