941-961-8518 this call from sonic cash.net - anyone know this company?

No you can't go to jail for that and they are in violation of the law for saying that you can. File a complaint with the attorney general in your state and theirs, the BBB and the FTC. Send Sonic a certified letter telling them you are going to file those complaints and file a civil suit against them. They will go away after sending you an apology and a PIF. They are also known by a couple other names.

Thanks for the information. They wouldnt give me their address. Is there a way to get it?

They also have been harrassing me on my job stating they were sending the police to my job to arrest me and I could lose my job and go to jail for 6-7 months. I spoke with a so called "Max Carter, Attorney Scott Miller, and Attorney Brad Nicole," who just so happens to sound just alike. The are suppose to be sending me an affidavitt to my job tomorrow. We'll see what becomes of this.

Don't hold your breath...its just a threat...they are highly illegal...give them your State Attorney Generals telephone number and tell them he or she is waiting for there telephone call and to work it out with them...LOL

Hello! I just recevied a phone call today from Sonic Cash. Net Attorney Steve Matthew and another Attorney who sounded just like Steve. Everyone sounds alike. They stated that I owe them money from June 2006. I don't know who they are and what their talking about. They told me that they will be at my job tomorrow to serve me the affidavitt and I can go to jail for fraud, and writing bad checks. They also stated that the police will be their to arrest me at my job and I will lose my job and spend some time in jail. I don't even owe them any money. Should I do what you suggested to the previous person who's having this same issue. I also asked them for a mailing address and they wouldn't give me one. How do I go about getting a mailing address. HELP!

if you haven't been getting calls at work just ignore these clowns.they are not even in this country.do not even talk to these mopes.if they start calling your work.have co-workers tell these simps that you no longer work there.that is it.they are not in this country therefore they can only harrass if you let them.

the same thing just happened to me today. they say i have to go to court tomorrow and that the police are going to pick me up from work to take me to court. I just want to know is this for real and what happen to any of you. i asked for the number for sonicash.net and he said he is the attorney for them..he couldn't give me any more info and hung up on me...help..please!!!!

when you aren't picked up tomorrow they will call back.they are located in this country.in fact do not even speak to them again.do not even think about paying them.they are illegal and act illegal.i will guarantee you will not be picked up.

You should ask them what time and where you are suppose to be picked up - so that you can have a legit police officer there as well so that you can make a citizens arrest on them for making illegal threats to you. NO YOU CANNOT BE ARRESTED FOR NOT PAYING A DEBT UNLESS YOU COMMITTED FRAUD -WHICH IS NOT THE CASE - so don't fall for their BS - stand your ground. You could also ask them should you have your luggage packed as well for when they come to pick you up...I am sure paulmergel meant to say they are not located in the US because they are not. What state are you in?

It's important to know what state you are in, because Sonic is banned in several states and they might be banned in yours! Sonic is actually based in Malta, with addresses also in British Columbia and Ireland.
So tell them to come right on down, and they can also talk to the nice policeman about their illegal loan practices. I'm sure he wants to hear all about them!

Gotta call from these guys also, they threatened me saying that I owwed $5000 to someone called soniccash and that if I didnt pay they felt sorry for me,said they were gonna send someone to my house to "deal with me". After researching I found the real soniccash company and was informed this is a fraudulant call, A scam being run from the middle east trying to get money from us. Sonic cash advised me to call 989-497-0580, which ended up being Homeland security. ANyone who recieves a call from these guys should report it to them as they are trying to close in on these jerks.

so i take it this is not a good site to get a PD loan from?

Hi I have been getting the same kind of calls at my job, they are foreigners they sound Indian or Arabic and they are threatening to have me arrested and even told my supervisor that I was wanted for several criminal acts (which almost cost me my job) I contacted the FBI for my state and was told that this is a scam ran by a group in Nigeria and not to send them any money, I was told they are currently invesigating the situation..

Today I got a call from these crazy people stating that I owed $1,095 and that if I didn't pay it then I will have a warrant for my arrest in two days. I decided to look this online and found out that other people were also getting these fradulent calls. The bad thing about it is that they have your last 4 digits of your social, your address and even your references. I contacted the FBI, the attorney general and told everyone I could about this. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE. I do not owe any money to a payday loan so I knew right off hand that this was a scam. This is the number I received from them: 949-258-3112, but I'm sure they used different numbers.

I have been receiving the same calls as everyone else and I knew it was a scam. After reading these post I'm glad I didn't provide any info to them. Like the last person gave the phone number 949-258-3112, that's same number they gave me. I will be contacting the police and attorney general because this is crazy.

Well i got the same call today at my work place telling me I owed money from a year ago which I never took out a loan. He stated I would have someone pick me and my friends up the next day and take me to court and press charges against me. He also wanted to speak with my boss to let him know I was a convicted felon for fraud. I went into a panic my blood pressure shot up. I had my supervisor call this man back and he couldnt give her any State License numbers and was very rude to her. I then called my old bank had then send printouts of my old accounts and then started looking up on the internet and have come accross several statement from people getting the same responce. How can people do this to others what has this world become I sit and wonder. Please dont give any information to anyone calling from this company....Sonic Cash

Absolutely right--and do one more thing. If you get one of these phone calls, go immediately to the FTC.gov website and file a complaint. The FTC needs to know about this scam, so it can go after them.

I just went thru the same situation yesterday!!! I was so scared....I really thought they were coming to my job til I said I have proof that I never received a payday loan...then the man said he will refer this back to his client and if I do not hear anything within 7 days I need to assume everything is ok. Then when I got home my husband told me they were calling the cell phone and herassing him. I contacted my local Detective Agency!!! What I really need to know is if I need to change me banking information.

I received a phone call from the "national processing division" saying there is a lawsuit filed in my name for up to three counts. they mentioned fraud, failure to pay, ect.
I asked them how much, they said $200 but then went up to $645 over the course of 3 hours. they wanted me to fax over WORD FOR WORD what to write, including my debit card # and my approval to get the money out. They didn't give me the website on where the payday loan was given to me from. I did get out of them the following address; 101 green st. new york, ny ...they told me if i didnt send them the money before 4pm EST that they would send the case to headquarters. They kept calling me, with such names as max carter and john anderson(sounds like a name out of the matrix, mind you) so I called my local police dept. an officer came over, wrote all the info I had down and will investigate further for me. He told me it might've been identity theft from someone getting a loan with my info, but its funny, the "law office company" has all my info, why didnt they send me a letter or call me telling me something was due.

Like mentioned above, they all sounded the same, with high indian accents. So we'll see where it goes from here.

I received a call this weekend with the call back number of 949-258-3112 as well. I fave filed a complaint with the FTC and will be calling all other organiztions as well. I called them back and told them that and also asked for their address so I could mail the C and D letter. The man couldn't even give me the proper zip code... Anyone have any other advice?

I just recived a call from the law office of Cashnet attorney Chris William with a heavy accent! I could barley understand him! He said I was going to be taken to jail on monday along with my references who were my parents. He stated I did not pay back a payday loan...however I never took one...FREAKED OUT and think I gave him to much information and hopefully my credit is safe... not sure what to do.

If you gave him any banking information, close your account now. If you gave a debit card number/credit card number close those accounts NOW. If you gave your ssn number, and don't need credit, put a credit freeze on your credit reports, as well as a fraud alert.

The person that have been calling me claim his name is "Ryan Cruz" during the day he will call me at least 5 times a day; requesting for my attorney information or my debt card number. When ask for a number or an address as well they would hang up on me as well then call me back and said I hung up. I have been told police officer are coming to my house to arrest me or I should prepare for them at my job either place me and my references are getting arrested. Here is a new number they provided to me 831-219-7252.

I recieved the same call today from a guy named Tom Taylor and was told I would be taken in monday for fraud and not paying my pay day loan. I researched the internet and called back and asked for some of the names you gave and he responded to them. He had a thick accent every time. I hate what he is doing. Im gonna report this as well. Do not give any info to thease people.

Okay, I got a call from this so called law firm. Head attorney is supposedly Max Carter. Two call back #'s were 941-961-8518 and 831-219-7600. I have taken a payday loan out but not with this company. He proceeded to tell me there is a hearing at 11am tomorrow and that I will have to pay $5495 in front of a judge if I didn't fax a letter to him requesting $1495 be put on my debit card. What is scary is that this dude, had all my info. My social, address, date of birth, my friends names and my bank info. I called Sonic Cash and was told this is a fraud and gave me the number to call someone in homeland security. That # is 989-497-0580.
This is really freaky stuff. I did take out a payday loan and it is currently in collections. How did these people get all my information? Has anyone actually went to jail for this?

I, also have received their calls, but the the number given is 941-961-8518. I'm glad I looked up for more info before sending any payment

I receive a call from Justin and he stated that I have to go to court at 11 am tomorrow morning. He said that the legal authorities will either come to my home or to my job. He even told me in order to place the case on hold, that I had to fax a letter of Apology and a letter of Authorization with my CC info in it....Then he will call me back with a reference number after the payment has been ran. I am a little worried because they have my social security number and my address. What should I do? Should I just wait to see what happens or do I send a letter, but hold off the CC info until I get confirmation on the debt. Payday loans are illegal in the state of Georgia, so how the hell could I have received a loan?

this justin works for a bottomfeeding scam.debts are civil matters not criminal ones.that is even if you owed the debt.do not give this cretin any info.in fact i guarantee you won't be arrested and there is no court date for tomorrow.when this deutsch bank calls again tell him you know this is a scam and you are filing reports.then hang up.do not speak to another person that calls on this matter.if it will put your mind at ease call your couthouse and police department they will tell you it is a scam.

I got the same call from these idiots today at work . They said i owe them money from a internet payday loan ! I have never taken a payday loan out online , i dont give out my social online ever ! They said i was going to go to jail for not paying , and every question i had for them got no straight answer . I ask my boss if he knew where the call came from , and he said they were coming from India !! I could tell that was true because none of them knew how speak english hardley ! you can't even hardley understand what they are saying . DO NOT FALL FOR THESE AHOLES BS !!!!

Get as much information as you can from these lowlifes and then IMMEDIATELY file a claim with the FTC!!! This sounds like a HUGE scam and if SONIC (one of the worst online PDL's out there, btw) says it's a scam, trust me, they should know--as they scam people daily.

I have received multiple calls and voicemails from them. They have given me 2 different numbers to call back 831-219-7605 and 831-219-7060. The voicemails were from Amanda Black and Scott Miller. The first message was 12/22 and the most recent was today. Each time it stated I would be fined jail time and lose my job for being in jail. I politely called back each time to seek more information. They asked for my attorneys information and advised I would be served the next day. I did not give them a chance to ask for payment. I have taken Payday Loans which are unbelievable to begin with but never with them. The banking information they have is for a closed account. I do not know how they got the info. I will keep you posted if I am served. I believe it is a scare approach. I work for a huge corporation and is inverstigating it since the messages are left on my work phone. If they were legit why not call my cell or home. I am scared since they have my address etc. :evil:

i started getting the same calls tuesday of this week stating that i had to be in court on yesterday. so i called my court house and they did not have me listed and so i called them today and they told me the same as everyone else that i borrowed this in 04/2007 and they wanted to know how i wanted to handle this so i told them i would get my bank statements back to when i opened my account and prove it and they where rude to me told me they would pick me up on myjob to arrest me they gave me the #831-219-7605 out of california and 818-451-4680. what should i do?

you are not going to worry first off.sonic is located in the UK so they won't/can't do anything but call and stupidly threaten.next you are going to hang up on these cretins if they call again.chances are you paid this illegal loan off and then some.

Next time they call and say they are coming to your job to arrest you, tell them to bring it on because you will have real law enforcement waiting to pick them up. Also tell them you are recording their every word and I bet they hang up fast!!!

Of course, Paul's advice is best but if you have to talk to them dont be afraid to let them know you are not going to take what they are trying to dish out.

yes kfstaff24.if you are cornered into talking to them fire away.do not be bullied.

The Indian guy dave mathews called me also, said I was being sued for 1495.00 .. I also called homeland security. I really feel bad for sonic cash. com.... they are legit and this fake, scam is just killing them... But they are overseas and the US really cannot prosecute in another country... Just ignore them and hopefully they go away... do not talk to them or give them any information..... I have life lock and I pay $18 a month and it takes alot of stress off of identity theft..... But let your banks know also.... DO NOT TALK TO THEM.. HANG UP........

I also have been receiving calls at work from 1st a steve miller and then he called back the next day and gave my
boss his name as Scott Miller. On the initial call, he never truly identified himself but started by asking me to verify the last 4 digits of my Social Security number. When I asked him who he was and with what firm, He advised that he was an attorney for Sonic Cashnet who I am not familiar with and certainly did not borrow any money from them. He insisted that a sheriff would be coming to my home that evening if I did not comply. He never would give any information as to who he was representing. He then gave a telephone # of 818451-4680. when i did not call back , he called me again
on my job the next day threatening me that an affidavit would be sent to my job and also that my references would be arrested too. I told him not to call threatening me and hung up. He called right back and spoke to one of our operators demanding to speak to the manager. After my supervisor advised him that no arrest would be possible for the company and he needed to address personal business with me outside the company, he hung up.
Any company or person representing the company that is demanding finances ought to be able to advise specific details. If they cannot, do not comply!!!
how in sprecomp

I was also contacted by these people saying that I owed money to a company called Sonic Cash. I called the company at 1-866-574-CASH and explained what had just happened the representative stated that this was a scam and to contact Homeland Security which I did and reported it. They also threatened my job, they said they were chargeing me with check fraud which is a severe federal crime. The "lawyer" also stated that they were going to contact my job to tell them of the fraud that I had committed as well as send their legal representatives to pick me up for court in the morning. They scared me but I did not give them any money.

i personally would not talk to the clown again.this mope or any of them for that matter do not seem to grasp this concept.when you threaten arrest,garnishment,court,and it doesn't happen truth be told that clowns credibility should be shot.he really isn't going to do anything.just hang up when they call again.if you are stuck.give them the old FOAD then hang up.

OMG. Sonic............. will they never disappear? Or at least change their tactics? Listen, listen, listen to paulmergel - they can not do SQUAT to you - just idle threats that result in nothing.

OH MY GOD. This happened to me today. They called me yesterday at work but I was not at my desk. So today I get a call from them threatening me. So I started asking them questions and they would not answer me or anything. "We will fax the documents to your lawyer" WHAT LAWYER? WHAT IS GOING ON? After questioning this guy tells me that I have a court date at 11am and that my everything will be processed Monday. Well Monday is a holiday. He was very shocked. Then I came to this site and ripoff report.com and saw all the complaints. What the f***!

I had some heavily accented woman call me this past saturday and through all noise which sounded as though she were calling while driving a convertable, left me a ugly mesage saying she needed to talk to my attorney and gave me a number that I couldn't get from all the noise and that it was of a serious matter etc.... And I've been having some bank issues with someone charging adult sites to my account so I kind of thought that was it but I handled it all with the help of my banker, even changed account number and what not. So I deleted the message, but then she called again and I let my boyfriend listen and he agreed that it was just weird and sounded either rehearsed or being read off. So I called and this guy who souned just like the company's "attorney" said that I had gotten out a loan from them and never paid it off bla bla and that I would be arrested. This man had my old address that I moved from 5 months ago, my mother and brother's names and the last four of my social security number, email address, my employer, and knew where I banked. At first, I freak out cause I have a lot on my plate right now but later I realized that there would be a process to all of this, they would have to file a petition to the court which would issue me a summons and if I didnt attend or respond only then can they have me arrested by obtaining a warrant. I told that "attorny" that I never recieved any loan from them and any that I did get out from an online source was paid off and my accounts with them were closed and I told him I'd call him back, but didn't cause I was at work. So I just got home and looked up "Sonic Cash Net" and I'm seeing all these posts with the same issue. So one guy said that he called the police, filed a report and changed his accounts with his bank. So I feel confident in doing the same, but man I so want to call them back and rip them up!

i had the same thing happen to me today they had all this information about me saying that i was to give them money i asked to talk to there supervisor and they kept telling me that they were busy and could not come to the phone of course how did you get the calls to stop?

People who are getting these calls: are you filing complaints with the FTC and/or your local police dept? You need to, because the more complaints made, the greater chance that these calls will stop.

This happened to me today. They called saying if i didn't pay them 1395.00 within one hr they would have me arrested. I filed a report with local pd and the secret service.

this just happened to me! I thank God i quickly searched this and now i know it was a scam.

This is a scam. I wrote to Sonic Cash (the ones they said I had a loan with) and they said:

"We're sorry to hear about the call you received. There is a group of people who are calling from outside of the United States stating to be affiliated with Sonic Cash. This group has no affiliation with our company, and you have no debt with them or us for that matter. The tactics and threats they use, are to scare you into paying them, which is an illegal tactic under the rules outlined in the F.D.C.P.A. (Fair Debt Collections Practices Act) We ask that you report this phone call to Doug Zloto who is the Secret Service Agent from the Department of Homeland Security. His phone number is 989-497-0580. Again, we're sorry to hear you were contacted by these people, and please be assured they have no affiliation with our company.

Thank You

I left a message with Mr. Zloto. I suggest you do the same (do it quickly as you don't have alot of recording time). good luck.

I received a call today from these people also saying that they were going to have me arrested and it freaked me out because I am a Criminal Justice Major trying to get into the FBI and am under investigation for my states department of corrections for a job opening and cannot have any felnies but after reading all your post i am going to contact my states Attorney General and FBI to file a complaint. Thank you all for the information.

I have received a call from them as well. I have never taken a loan with them, and they are fraud. They do, however know the name of my bank and last 4 digits of SSN, which I did not give them. Can they take money from my account?
