cashnet claims from the heavily accented "Brad"

Guest pay these idiots no mind. They are using whatever information you entered online to intimidate you into paying a false debt. This happenes every day and you are not alone in this situation. First you CANNOT be arrested for a debt, for it is a CIVIL matter not a CRIMINAL offense. Second, DO NOT volunteer any additional information, they are phisching for something to harrass you on. The more you entertain them the more they will pursue you. Third, give them the DIAL TONE immidiately when they call. Keep strong and hang in there :D

I am so sorry you are going through this, do not talk to this person again, when they call hang up.

Great advice, just ignore them. What state are you in?

boy we can start a whole foroum on these jerks! Do not give them any information and do not let them scare you. they call me too (at work) and i am sure they got my info from a payday loan who turned me down.. in other words my guess is that the webpage is a set-up scam but i have no idea where they are even from. it is hard to ignore them, as they do not go away, please report them to the agencies, if everyone reports them perhaps they will stop.

This is the same bunch I'm getting calls from! Althought, I'm getting Jack. He mentioned the court house the first time he called. The second time I spoke with him, I told him that I had already contacted my local court house and that they told me not to pay 1 red cent until the provided me with documentation fo the debt and that they could prove that I owed it. So.....now their going to the courthouse sceme isn't working!

I get those calls but they are not too smart. i work at the sheriff's office and everytime they threaten for the sheriffs to come to my work, i have to remind the moron that i work there and i know hes full of it. he said it is a matter of perception. it is so annoying, i know hes a scam but i cannot get rid of him.

hey I got a similar call at my work just over a week ago from
a heavily accented man claiming to be collecting for cashnetUSA.When I told him that I had already paid them in full over three month's ago he asked me to fax him the proof
right then and there.When I told him that I had proof at home
he told me I could fax it to him to some non toll free number
I said I would not.Then he proceeded to tell me that I would be served at 5:00 PM the next day I said what's your delay
serve me now.Then I asked him what county I lived in etc.and he could not.So again he called me aliar and hung up on me.The next day I wrote a letter to Cashnet USA return receipt explaining this conversation and copy of the proof that I had paid them.It just boiled me that someone was still
trying to collect on this debt that I had already paid so I decided to yank his chain instead.

It seems everyone is getting these calls, i know i sound like a broken record but can everyone who gets these calls, please report them? something needs to be done..

I live in one of those states where only 1 person has to have knowledge to record a phone conversation. So, I've recorded both of the calls! :)

i recorded the calls, too but nobody seems to care, my state's attorney general wants no part of it.

beal2ls...What state are you in?

i am in nj, the attorney general is pretty useless here, they do not care about payday loans giving ilgeal loans out neither (they respond to literally everything saying they do not handle this and will forward it to the FTC, who i already report with anyway!)

Hmmmmmmm, that would REALLY make me want to complain to various media organizations.

shazzers, i am so fed up with them! any complaint you submit to them automatically results in an email saying it has been forwarded to the FTC. i am getting harrassed at work by these people and they send it to the FTC? i called and explained that i already did report them to the FTC and was told that the FTC is who deals with it.
it's frustrating because other states attorney generals get involved :(

First, you don't need to bother recording anything. It won't be admitted in court - you can't prove who was on the other end. It could only prove a call from that number took place at that time. Nothing else.

There are many, many scams going on. In fact, I just watched Fox News a couple of days ago and they were talking about debt collection call scams - similar to the above thread.

Never verify your name, never ever give any information - just hang up. If you feel you must talk to them (because some of us learned manners and feel it is impolite/rude to hang up on someone) tell them you do not discuss personal information on the phone so send your questions/complaint/charge in writing. BUT - NEVER NEVER give out your address. If they are real, and you truly have a bad account, then they most likely have your address.

Debt collectors are great at lying, threatening, intimidating, trying to make you feel like scum - it's there job and a lot of them are very good at it.

Even if you owe a debt, never ever admit to it. There is a thing called statute of limitations and if you admit to a debt, the timer starts over.

I don't feel sorry for them in the least bit. Look at those contracts (if the print is large enough to read) and, especially for credit cards, they can change terms and conditions whenever they want - and universat default, don't get me started on that one.

Everyone, have a great day AND don't talk to debt collectors.

i find there are some cases where i talk to debt collectors i had so good experiences settling with a few but this guy is impossible to even take seriously his threats border on humorous and all he is is one big joke.
