631-456-4041 Law Office of Shawn Woods
Date: Tue, 06/08/2010 - 13:58
I was out of the office last week and there were calls while I was away. They were from a "Mr. Jones" who was working for "The Law Office of Shawn Woods". They did leave several messages of the "we have your information included in a lawsuit filed against your social security number" type. All calls were made from a person with a very heavy eastern accent. They even called the administration office where I work and left messages for me to call them back as soon as possible.
Lo and behold, before 10am on Monday, another call, but this time I was here. I listened very politely to his spiel, and then asked him which company was filing this lawsuit against me and he told me that it was CashNetUSA. He went on to ask me which did I prefer, to settle this through legal action or to settle out of court, which would be cheaper. I told him that I preferred to contact the original "creditor" and speak to them directly. I told him that he was not to call me at work, speak to the people that I work with, my family, or any references that I may or may not have listed on any application. I then hung up on him. I looked up the number for CashNetUSA, but before I could get it dialed, he is back on the phone demanding to know why I hung up on him. I told him again, politely, that I had just told him not to call me anymore and did he realize that he was now in violation of federal law? He told me that I was going to be charged with "Theft by deception" and "bank fraud". I told him that was not true and I was calling CashNetUSA now. He seemed a little panicked at that point and asked me did I have their number and I told him, why yes, it is right in front of me now. He hung up on me then.
I called CashNetUSA, who I did have a loan with at one time and I have been making payments to pay it off. I told the lady that answered that I did not understand why I would be sent to a lawyer for charges if the bill is being paid. She told me that she did not see any record of that and that this person was a scammer. She asked if I had paid him anything and I told her that no, I had not. I told her that I realized from previous dealings with his type that he was not legitimate (esp. with the phony charges). She took my information and transferred me to the fraud department at CashNetUSA. They filed a report, and I also have made a complaint against "Shawn Woods" with the attorney general of Illinois.
I can't stress enough that everyone should be sure that a collector is valid before they just hand out money. Make sure they are who they say they are, and make sure that you are paying someone you actually owe. I can't imagine how many people this guy has scammed. They really are bottom-feeding jerks!:x
By the way, it is now 3pm on Tuesday and I have had no more phone calls from "Mr. Jones" or from "Shawn Woods";) Stand your ground and don't listen to the crap. They can only hurt you if you let them.

What you have done is absolutely correct. We keep on telling people the same. That is why a debt validation is a must when dealing with collection agencies.

My dad has been receiving these calls. They ended up calling my cell phone and when I answered, I could NOT understand them. Eventually I was moved to a different person who kept asking me for my dads cell phone number, I asked him what the charges are for and I was transfered to an "officer" of some sort who ended up telling me not only my dads name and phone number but his bank account number, address, e-mail AND SSN...we now have a case.

I received calls all day yesterday. From said Law office and they were in new york and said I was being charged with the same thing. But turns out I never actually received a loan. I called CashNetUSA and found out the same information. I then received another call I let it go to voicemail and it said "You will call me back within the next 48 business hours or you will face some very hard times. I recommend you do the smart thing" SO if anyone gets a call ask for their BAR number and say you are going to report them to the bar.

once again a scam in INDIA.do not tell them anything.file AG,and FTC complaints and ignore them.saying you are going to report them to the BAR association won't even get a response as they don't care about anything,but extorting money from people.talikng to them in any way will only get more calls.

I keep getting these same calls they are saying I owe a payday loan from CashNetUSA Payday one from 2006. I dont even know who payday one is. I am aware of CashNetUSA as I currently have a loan that I am paying through them. I asked him to send me the information that he received from the client (the validation) and he emails me a letter that his Law office just typed up in the mist of our conversation. I called payday one of cash netusa as they say and come to find out they dont have anything on file for me ever having a loan through them. James or Raymond whichever one he may be today said he will call me back to take care of the situation so I will let them know what I found out today.
I got a similar call today. I had paid off my last loan with Cas
I got a similar call today. I had paid off my last loan with Cash Net USA an year ago and this person (who called herself Misti Ray) insisted that I hadn't, and was pushing me to set up an out of courts settlement with her firm. I refused until I had contacted Cash Net USA. After I ended the call, I contacted Cash Net USA who confirmed that I had, indeed, paid off my last loan with them. They also told me that this is a scam.

Yea that is true. They called again today so I told them I called CashNet and they were like oh okay and hung up. These calls are getting ridiculous.
They called me at my job skip tracing on an aquaintance of mine.
They called me at my job skip tracing on an aquaintance of mine. I immediately recognized the India accent as I have friends from India. My friend borrowed from them 5 years ago. He settled with CashNetUSA way back when. This is totally bogus.

I am not completely sure who got hacked, but someone sure did. It is really sad that there are people who will probably just pay them whatever they are asking. They are targeting people who they know likely have many loans out and have probably lost track of them.
More attempted Fraud for this guy!
I have been getting phone calls from This unknown Law Office of Shawn Woods every June about this time demanding money now and no ability to provide proof of the loan or documentation. I have watched me credit report with no evidence of this loan nor have I ever taken out a loan of this nature. I had my wallet stolen at a hotel in Miami many years ago with my social security card, work numbers, etc. Thats the only way I can figure out that he may have gotten my number. He harrasses me at work yearly and my manager has even asked him not to call. He is very unprofessional and does not show any courtesy at all. I am reporting him to the State of New Yorks Attorney Generals Office as he claims to be. The phone number I had last year was from Florida. Now he's obviously moved to New York. The messages and voicemails have been identical to the ones you have posted.
Thank you for this information.

Loan Scam from the law office of Shawn Woods from New York
I just received one of these phone calls this morning from the law office of Shawn Woods from New York. He told me that charges have been filed against me for a payday loan that I never took out, however I did fill out an application for one and decided not to get the loan. That's where he got all my information. I could hardly understand him because of the heavy Indian accent he had. I finally hung up and he called me back. He left a voice mail telling me to have your attorney contact me within 48 hours. If not he was going to contact my employer and let them know that there was a culprit working in there office. That's when I really knew it was a scam. By federal law an attorney can not contact your employer and give them that kind of info. I immediatly got online and found some attorneys for free consultation. Before I got any feedback from the attorney's, I got online and goggled the phone number and found a lot of people being scammed by this Shawn Woods, if that is his real name. I also found out that he is not even listed on the New York bar association for lawyers.
My advice for anyone receiving phone calls like the one I received, thoroughly check it out with the internet and free attorney consultation. Most attorney's in Houston offer free consultation.
What really concerns me is that he had all of my personal information. (my employers name and location, My home address and telephone numbers and my SSN#) I think he only told me the last 4 of my SSN#. I guess these scammers had a way of accessing the data base of the loan company that I had filled out the application for.

I was just reading some of the post here, and got curious to see if I could find anything on this Shawn Woods. They do have a website at lawofficeofshawnwoods.com, I read somewhere that he hasn't been found on the New York Bar Association Web Site, read his bio on this web site, it says he was admitted to the Bar. I think the people that this is happening to, should file a complaint with the New York Attorney General. If he is actually licensed he needs them taken away, if seems as if they have fraudently obtained information on people they have no business having. That's the only way to try and stop on of these outfits.

i told them i knew they were a scam and that they didnt have enough people to take me down. they hung up on me...havent heard back from them, however, they will give it to other bullsh*t agencies and call you back in a couple months from another number...same style: english/american names, thick accents, threats of law enforcement.
further info
You can always file a complaint with the New York State Bar Association. Supply them with the full name and address from the website (which also has several spelling and syntax errors on it). That was my first clue it was not legitimate. They take a very dim view of these things. They can also tell you via email whether Mr. Woods is a bona fide attorney licensed to practice in the state or not and if he does have an office in that state. You can also get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce in the town where his office is purported to be located and ask them if it exists. I was bothered by one caller who gave me a zip code that does not exist. I have been bothered by these calls also and now I just do not answer the phone if I do not recognize the caller. If you happen to be a senior citizen, there might also be grounds for an "elder abuse/harassment" complaint with the New York State Bar Association. I also contacted CashNetUSA by email and asked them if I had a loan with any of their subsidiaries. It is always good to have the answer by email and print it out. They will respond to you inquiry. I was informed by them that they do not send collections to third parties. Information I obtained from the ACLU stated to ignore these calls. It seems that this is the way these people get their kicks and use up my cell phone minutes. How sad! Pays to do your research. I know it is a bother, but it pays off in the end. You can confidently tell the caller that they do not exist.

I'm getting the exact same calls and am very afraid they will contact my employee's. They have already contacted references. No matter how many times I hang up on them they call right back. I knew this sounded strange because right off the back he was very billigerent. India or not, if your in a law profession you would not speak in that manner.
Who should I report these fraudulent calls to?

I have before me a letter received today (July 29, 2010) from the Senior Director of Legal & Government Affairs of the New York State Bar Association indicating that there is no attorney by the name of Shawn Woodsd registered to practice law in the State of New York. She suggested that the office of the New York Attorney General be contacted with respect to this matter to assist in dealing with improper debt collection. Phone number is 1-800-771-7755 or online at www.ag.ny.gov. Hope this helps.

Bottom line, it's a scam. You are safe to ignore the calls but if you can, try and divert them to a Google Voice # first so you can be sure to get rid of them permanently.
http://habbadabbacalls.yolasite.com No, that isn't a malicious
http://habbadabbacalls.yolasite.com
No, that isn't a malicious site. No, there is no spyware, adware or malware. Just a list of numbers and former names these crooks have used in the past. I'm just sharing information I have received through various channels to help people be better prepared when they receive similar calls as this. Do not delete this post!

I just got a call today from a person whose name is Troy Wilson who works for the law firm of Shawn Woods. He called my work today (and I work in a medical facility) and would not
hang up until I came to the phone. I was so irriatated that I amswered that call as someone else and inquired all the information about who he was trying to reach. He kept telling me that I didn't have to pay anything but this will go to court and you will have to
pay the full amount. I asked him why couln't I set up payment plan. " No you have to pay the settlement amount or go to court and pay the full amount". Thats when I knew he was
a scammer.
Very Irritated!!!!!!!!!

I have had this number call me about 5 times today and also 714-255-4550, they spoke with heavy indian accent and when I asked what this was about, they got very angry and told me not to interupt them and wait till they were done speaking. It was obvioius they were reading something off a paper and when I finally was able to talk they told me it was a debt I owed for Payday USA, which i never took out a loan for payday usa, yet they said they were calling with the Law Office of Shawn Wood...I ended up telling off the lady and letting her know it was a big scam and that I was not falling for it. she said my balance was $680 that I needed to take care of it to avoid legal action. Well I dont understand how I owe that money if I have never taken anything out with that company. when I finally hung up on this lady she called me 5 times back to back to back...it's so annoying to have someone continue to call you over and over. Please beware this is a SCAM...Not sure whom I need to report this too, but they are calling me from the 714 number and 631-456-4041. by the way the lady I spoke to was Misty Ray.
Scam
I received the exact phone call and will be filing a lawsuit against this person and will contact the New York Attorney General.

I have been getting calls From this guy as well, stating that he was calling from the Law Offices of Shawn Woods. I'm glad I looked up this phone number to get an idea of what was going on. When I spoke to the guys yesterday, he asked if my SS# was @#$#%$#$#, I told him no, but he had my name, cell, and work number so I wanted to know what this was in reference to. The most scary part about this is that it was my correct SS#. I am just in shock because I just went threw the complete process two years ago with a lawyer because someone had stole my idententy and had a Morgage out in my name in a state I have never even been two. Also about a month ago I had someone else call me stating that I had taken a payday loan out with a company and never paid it back. They were seeking legal action (Come to find out, it was a collection agency), they did a 3 way conference call with my bank, and verified that that was not even an account number with the bank I have belonged to for 7 years. That lady told me she would have the account closed and send me documentation in writing. Still haven't received antyhing. That collection person was not even foreign. I can understand a lot of people are in several financial hard ship now, but come on you have to go this low?

Hey, This guy has been harassing me at work too. I am well aware he is a scammer. I knew from the get. What can we do to put him behind bars and leave people alone.

First of all you could file complaints with the FTC and your Attorney general's office, it's fairly easy to do online. The more complaints received, the better the chances of an investigation.

This is wild, I can't believe someone can not stop these terrorist! They keep harrassing me here at work as well, this has been going on for a year or so, they yell at me when I ask who the original debtor is tell me things as I am going to go to jail for fraud and all kinds of mean and nasty things. I hang up on them and they call over and over again! Does anyone know how to make them stop?
Good old Sean is bizzy bizzy...I decided to call him repeatedly
Good old Sean is bizzy bizzy...I decided to call him repeatedly as he did me. I told him I know you are scamming people. Why are you doing this? He hung up. I repeatedly called him. I guess they have caller ID.
They have my address and where I work, but like stated above, only my last four digits of my ss#.
I really doubt they'll be calling me again any time soon. It's bad enough I had to resort to desperation and take out a payday loan online, but I've learned my lesson. I'd rather bargain with a crackhead than use anything online for this again!!!
I actually paid this guy and now he's calling back for more...

It is illegal for collection agencies to make threats. Also, if
It is illegal for collection agencies to make threats. Also, if, in fact, you are named in a lawsuit, as they claim, you would have to be served with the summons and complaint. If you are unsure whether or not you are being scammed, the best/easiest thing to do is request that all information pertaining to the alleged debt be sent to you via US mail. Once that request is made, by law they can't call you again. Also, if they ask for your address, you know it's a scam because the debtor already has that information and gives it to the legitimate collection agency. Also, you would hear from the actual lender LONG before you hear from an attorney/collection agency. If anything doesn't vibe with these, you can be assured it's a scammer.
There are at least several Sean/Shawn Woods, who are legitimate
There are at least several Sean/Shawn Woods, who are legitimate attorneys throughout the US. Don't assume the idiots who call with this scam are these, or working for these, legitimate attorneys. Most likely the scammers searched the internet to use the name and apparent locations, so if someone Googled it after being called, he or she would find such an attorney and assume the call was legit.

My son received the same phone call yesterday and got another call today from the same guy coming from a supposed different company. When my husband returned the call as our son, (they refused to speak to me as his mother) they told him not to call back anymore because he was in trouble. They hung up on him once, and told him the same thing... theft of service, blah blah as well intent to deceive or some crap like that.
In the meanwhile I called the FTC to file a fraudulent claim and called experian to protect his credit.
We told them that we'd contacted the FTC and to stop calling. What a bunch of illiterate individuals. If they were going to pose as lawyers, they should have at least got someone to speak english.

im having the same things happen , we got in a hard place and looked up a payday loan , and after the application we decided not to go threw with it . we have all kinds of indian people calling . i told them we didnt recieve any money , i checked our bank account and he said yes we did and they cant get it out and i said if this is right then the money is there and he said maybe you dont have enough in , you probably bounced or something on the lines of this . these are scary calls , they are calling mine and my husbands work and my sister so far , all these stories im reading are happening to me , i even got copies of my credit reports and nothing on there . a real attorney told me unless you get paper or something in writing its a scam , this has been going on for over a month . my husbands been telling them off .they just keep calling . my sister copied this site and i handed a copy to our work , they keep calling there and its a bit embarrasing . im thinking of changing my phone number . im in the process of changing passwords and everything too . also my husband told him that our bank records prove that we didnt recieve anything and the guy told him that doesnt prove anything . when are these calls gonna stop ? ive got the number for the state attorney generals office im going to call him when i get home . I dont have internet anymore thats why i didnt know anything about shawn woods . I feel like we need to be plastering these pages all over the country for people like me that thought i was the only one going threw this , even now a friend at work thinks theres a call on her answering machine like this . the one guy even says God bless , how dare you scam and do what you do and still use Gods name in it :mad:

There are all kinds of these scammers
Below is details of a similar scam I received. I had also gotten the call from the above mentioned company, "The Law Offices Of Shawn Woods"
Jeffrey Anderson
Cyber Crimes Law Offices
Quick Cash Net (claimed to have over 300 websites)
Campbell, California
818-293-7408
When I called, the phone had severe static and a loud echo and everyone I talked to had harsh Eastern accents that was difficult to understand. I asked for the name of the company this was and he spit off a name that didn???t even make sense. When I asked for more information he just continued to tell me he could not tell me anything until I gave him my phone number. I told him my name and that someone whose name was supposedly Jeffrey Anderson called me and he was very hateful and continued that he could not tell me anything until I provided my phone number. I finally gave it because I wanted to get as much information as possible to provide in my complaint with the attorney general and the FBI. I was put on hold for 20 minutes. I hung up and called back and received a v/m prompt stating the person at est. 23331 was not available and the v/m was full. Within a minute, I received a call back from phone number ???0000???. The man stating his name was Mark and was asking why I called his number. I again told him I was calling in regards to a v/m I received. He asked me for my phone number and I told him it was the number he just called. Once again I was put on hold for another 10 minutes. Finally he gets back on the line and says, do you know what this is in regards to. I told them obviously I didn???t which is why I was calling. The man said he was transferring me to the person who was handling my case. A few minutes I hear a ringing in my hear and someone picks up and tries to tell me that I took out a loan in 2010 with Quick Cash Net that has over 300 websites set up and that at this point due to non payment a lawsuit of fraud and criminal charges were being filed against me. I tried to ask question such as the name of the company he was claiming he was with, his name, their address, the date the lawsuit was filed, why I have not had any correspondence other than this one phone call. The man began to scream at me and tell me that I would have to have my attorney contact him because he could not discuss this with me. I asked what his name was and what his phone number was and he would not tell me he just repeated that he could not tell me anything. I told him I had a legal right to know all the information in regards to the circumstances and the company that was supposedly filing a lawsuit against me. He then hung up on me. I called back and got a completely different person. Again they did not answer with any official greeting. I explained to the guy that I needed the name of his company, their billing address and their phone number. He said that they were not a company, they were a law office. I told him that he needed to give me the billing address. He gave me 515 SW 37th ave in Miami, FL 33125. I immediately said that is not what the last guy told me, because I was told they were in Campbell, California. He said that they were in Miami and that Quick Cash Net was the ones in Campbell. I asked him if he was in Miami why I was calling a phone number that was a California area code. He then said they had offices in many states. I told him again that I wanted his address and he then gave me 1422 Staffman way in Campbell, CA 95008. I asked for their corporate phone number if they had multiple locations, he would not give this to me. I told him that I would be filing a complaint with the attorney general of Arkansas and the FBI for fraud claims they were making. He the hung up on me. Everytime I called the number back after that I got a busy signal. Also, the initial phone number I was told to call, 818-293-7408, is not listed and comes back as being Tujunga, CA, not Campbell, California.

This is nuts. They have been calling me for 8 months and even calling my boss threatening me with a lawsuit. I paid CASHNETUSA the money I owed them when I owed it to them.
This scam knows the last digits of my Social Security number, my email, my address, how much I borrowed and the date.
The information had to come from CASHNETUSA in some manner.
Don't borrow from them until they can protect our information!!!!
Don't fall for this scam!!!!
