I have been getting calls from different men with very strong indian accents, they say they are from some legal department and that there is a lawsuit against me with some very serious charges, such as theft fraud, and so on and that I could be facing jailtime. these people dont want to give any info you ask them, they tell you a case number and that they want to help you. they then tell you that you have a certain amount of time to give them a certain amount of money either by money gram or credit card. when I asked who was filing the charges they said cashnet. then they gave me a number for cash net that was bogus! they then tell you to pay a smaller amount and that it is from a payday loan that you recieved. I didnt give them any money and noone else should either! they will not give you proof of the charges. they told me that after I pay the would provide me with verification.I have done research on this and even called the police! they give me names such as Andy Taylor, Robin Williams, Arnold Whatson, and they even called my sister and said the name was Jimmy Carter. report this crime and dont give any info. Has anyone else recieved calls from these people? one tim they said they were from united paralegal...




Search for US National Bank. That sounds like their scam. It's all BS. You cannot go to jail for a PDL.

Yeah I did a search for them, the name sounds like a scam even! a coworker in another department said they are calling her every day, they said sometimes they say they are from the police department! my worry is they even have my ss# and address!

unfortunatly a lot of people on the board has had to deal with them, they give up eventually, but always turn up like a bad penny...

Also sounds like united pay service/united legal and all the other names they go by. But you are doing the right thing by filing complaints. Another thing you can do is check to see if recording calls is legal in your state. You can then record their next call and then you will have proof as to what they are saying. I know some people have done this.

I actually first got calls from United Legal in early Sept. and found from one of these blogs that it was a scam. I contacted FBI, FTC and my attorney general.
I thought it was done but Jimmy Carter, nice name, called yesterday, same company, this time different number, I refused to talk but he kept calling my work. I again, contacted all the companies and this time called the police. The police called and they told him they are hired from Midland Mortgage. Has anyone heard of this company?? And are they tied to these scammers or is it a front?
