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...

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.

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.

Dude you just saved me from identity theft, first an english speaking girl called me asking all this stuff about me winning money, then these indian guys started calling saying they would wire money to me if i filled out a survey, upon them telling me to go to paydaypickup.com i thought it sounded phishy, so i googled it and your response came up. Thank you so very much

I've been getting these calls over a period of months now. They stop for awhile and then begin again. I've been told they are in call centers in India--and it may be that some of them have no idea what they are really doing. If it weren't for the fact that they keep calling my workplace harrassing me, they would be quite laughable. The fake names with the heavy accents is ridiculous, and the fact that they know nothing about our law enforcement or legal system is even dumber. They have managed to learn the word "affidavit" in reference to legal documents, but even if criminal or civil charges were warranted, an affidavit is nothing and means nothing, and is not the proper way to file a charge against someone. I've been told they buy up prepaid cell phones on trips into the US from different areas like CA which is why they have CA phone numbers, although they're in India. However, they have to have people in this country acting as agents to receive money. How much those agents know is questionable. still, they have my address, ss#, checking account, and work phone number, and boss's name. I gave them a fake routing number.

Don't even talk to these people, hang up immediately, the more you talk to them, the more they will call.

Hi,

This is true that payday loans are very difficult to be re payed as they are accompanied with a huge amount of interest charges which can be even much more than the actual amount borrowed.Payday loans are truly a nightmare,so even if it is required to get another loan to pay the payday loan off you should as well do that!!!!!!!!!!!
