I got a nasty call from Sonic Cash.net the other night claiming I owed them money from a loan from three years ago. Mind you I never took out a loan from them and even if I did owe them money why are they waiting 3 years!!! to call me now about the money. They said if I didn't give my credit card # in one hour they would call the police and have me arrested for theft of check. Whatever that means. I think this pure identity fraud. I asked for an address etc and they said no so I just have a fax number they gave me to fax over my credit card information. I faxed over a C&D letter. Is this true can you actually go to jail for this crap. I hope they don't come after me. I don't owe them any money!


I just got the weirdest call from these people stating the same freaking thing as everyone else - freaking hilarious but for about an hour it consumed my mind because I thought I was going to jail. I called the SD and LA sheriffs office to ensure I didn't have a warrant out for my arrest and because I work right next to the LA court house I verified that I did not in fact have a court date for the up coming Monday. The phone numbers they called me from are:

213-232-4399 and 919912799100 (where ever the hell that's from)

Just like everyone else is reporting, they had a very thick Indian accent and claimed to be representing a lawyer by the name of Bob Wolmer.

This a fraud company operated from Pune, Maharashtra, India.. The people here are completely ignorant of this fact. The employees themselves dont know that they r in such a mess.. I came 4m America just 2 research on this. I was not able 2 find out how they get the information but watever they tell u about the attorney and related stff is a fake.. nothing is going to happen to u.. The number cannot be traced because it is routed through an American no. and the number supposedly changes every week. The money that is taken out 4m some innocent people is processed and goes into the pockets of the related management.
Due to these complaints they have changed their name 2 AMERICAN CREDIT SERVICES. THIS IS THE SAME FIRM.
I plead everyone not to give any CREDIT or DEBIT or PREPAID DETAILS. If they say they are an Attorney ask for their Bar no. If not given deny by saying dat until u get a Hard copy u wont be paying Anything. If they say they will provide the Hard copy thru Investigators to your Employer, do not fall for it, nothing will happen to Any one.
IF THIS MESSAGE IS REPLIED WITH THE E-MAIL ADDRESS, I AM READY TO PROVIDE THE EXACT ADDRESS AND RELATED LOCAL PHONE NUMBERS.

I am getting the calls now... However we are calling them out about the fraud and why they are calling from cell phones. Still can't barely understand them. Now it's phone tag with my husband and they are asking for his mom... Threatning physical harm. We are now just having fun with them... There is absolutely no validity to these claims...

I recieved a call from them today at this number 714-333-2951, a man named "Jeff March" said I needed to return their call immediately or face dire consequences (sp?) and wished me luck. I did a google search for the number and found out it came from American Credit Services. I returned the call and was told I would be arrested the next morning at 11am and the 2 people (he named them) that I put as references would also need to be there so they could be picked up also and taken before a judge. I laughed and told them that in America, no one is arrested for non payment of a debt. He said that since I took the money and "ran with it", that I would be arrested. I told him that I was recording the call and would be reporting the company to the authorities, he then asked me if I wanted his help in resolving this, I told him no. I also told him that I would not be home at 11 am and if they were going to arrest me they should come that evening at 6, he said they would be there. They of course were not.
This is a scam and please everyone YOU CAN NOT BE ARRESTED FOR NON PAYMENT OF A DEBT, THERE IS NO DEBTORS PRISON

I have been receiving the same calls also. They told me if I did not pay them 5484.00 then a sheriff was going to come to my work and arrest me and I would go to jail for steeling and all kinds of stuff. However I did call the number 989-497-0580 and I reported them. The numbers that Sonic called me from is 941-961-8518 and 213-550-4189. BEWARE

This man with the accent gave me the name Jack Smith and said I took out a payday loan over the internet from CashNet in Dec. 2007 and that I owed $800. When I pressed for information, he refused to give me any. He become very rude and began threatening me so I hung up and filed a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney General's Office. I know this has to be a scam because I have never applied for any type of loan over the internet and why would any company wait two years? I found out this person(s) uses different names and phone numbers...DO NOT SEND MONEY!! File a complaint!

I am also getting calls from people saying they are calling from the United Legal Investigation Department or something like that. I have not talked to them for months so the calls are going to the answering machine now since I am gone most of the time. I have not called them back since I know they are a scam. Has anyone actually reported them to Homeland Security as is suggested on here? I see someone was going to who had a loan at one time with Sonic but I have never had a loan with Sonic. Should I still report them?

I also just received this phone call this morning at my work. They have been calling everyday, and the number that they leave to call them back at has a fast busy. They then called again this morning at my work. I spoke with them and they claimed that I owe them 950.00 from an online payday loan back in 2007. They had names of two people that I know, which is really weird. They also would not give me their address or anything. They transferred me several times. First a lady called, then because I could not understand her, she transferred me to a guy. When I told him that I had no knowledge of the debt and to call my lawyer he started laughing and asked me "will you be my friend"...super creepy! What do you advise besides calling the FBI and Attorney General, as I am doing that right now....?

I also got several calls about a loan they said I had taken in September of 2007 also threatening me with the judge and court. They did not speak English well and I could not understand them. They also have my bank information. I called and left a message with the Agent Slatto. I left the number that I asked the man to give me so I could call back. When told him about the internet information about his scam he became very defensive. Too defensive. I hope all your accounts will be safe.

Cheryl, I would definately put a fraud alert on your bank account, since you said they do have your information. This is a well-known scam, and the saddest thing about this is that the PDL that is being scammed (Sonic) is one of the sleaziest ones on the internet. Kind of sad and kind of funny at the same time, I guess.
Based on what I have read about this scam, these people doing the calling have no connection to Sonic.

Today I have received a few calls from a legal representative of "cashnet" and they somehow received all my personal information and are asking me to pay for a payday loan that I apparently requested, but cannot tell me the original amount or the date it was requested. They have told me that there is an affadavit against me and that if I do not pay $1095.37 by next Monday, 5/11, police will come to my home and issue court papers regarding a lawsuit. The representative had a thick heavy accent and would not answer any questions I had and their behavior was less than professional. After further research and communication with my lawyer it seems as if this is a national scam that has been occuring since fall of 2008. If you go to "google" and search "soniccashnet" you will see many blogs written about many other citizens experiencing the same type of situation. I am now another one and I wanted to submit my comment. Their phone number is 1-310-362-9224. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have.

I have been receiving calls from these people also. They call my job and they call my cell phone and they usually end up leaving me a voicemail on my cellphone that states that I need to return their call and if not all they can say to me is good luck and pray for my children. When they called my work I told them that I did not owe any money to a payday loan and I ended up hanging up on the guy and he called back telling me that I should not hang up on him as this is very serious and I ended up hanging up on him again and he called back again and I told him that I could not talk about this at work that I would call him back when I got off work and he gave me a number with the area code of 201. I went to my local police department and was told that there was nothing that they could do as this is just a telemarketer call...nice to have help from the police.

My husband and I have been dealing with this very thing since this past Friday. They called with the same spill they gave everyone else. Told my husband they had sent him 15-17 emails, which wasn't true. We of course were worried like everyone else. Even went as far as to give them credit card information. Lucky for us though I realized it was a scam and stopped them before they could take our information. We have also been in touch with the local law enforcement we we know very well. I have been on the phone with my state's attorney general and Department of Homeland Security. I hope they catch these sorry people. We are looking into filling some criminal charges against them for harrassment at the very least.

Well I just recieved an interesting phone call from Sonic Cash Net talking about owing them money. Funny thing, I never borrowed money from them. I asked what date I borrowed the money - he couldn't tell me any of that - but kept saying I am downloading your case right now and I could avoid the police coming to my house and work if I pay them x-amount of money. I told him to call me back when he has that info or to go ahead and send the police. This guy wouldn't answer any questions of mine and of course I didn't give him any information of mine. Asked me if I ever was convicted of a grand larceny charge or embezzlement. I told him once he files the charges with the police he'll find out. I didn't even give this guy a chance to give me any number - just pretty much told him where to go and to never call me at work again. I called my bank to inform them of a possible I.D. Theft and that my account maybe compromised. They told me not worry as long as I didn't give anyone any information about me. - Boy let me tell you, would loveto find them guys and lock them up for being stupid. Iwish i would have used the "here's my lawyers number" line - to see if he would have hung up on me. I'll be ready if they call again.

We had our local Justice of the Peace, who we are very good friends with, call them. He asked them information regarding my husband. They gave him a fake bar number, said they worked for the New York State Attorney General. The JP called NY attorney general and they ran the supposed bar number. Said it didn't register with them. The JP called us back and told us if they call us back let him know. He wants another crack at them. I think they were rude to him and lets just say he is a man you want to irritate. By the way did contact Homeland Security and they said that they were getting complaints by the thousands from the same number that is calling us.

I have been receiving the same calls from these people and asked for paperwork. Could not get a straight answer and was told that the police were coming for me. I have already started the process of filing a complaint with the state attorney general and getting an attorney. A female by the name of Barbara keeps calling me at work and I just hang up on her. They are real idiots.

Today I received a call in the EXACT same manner saying I owe someone named Cash Net. They are threatening to have me arrested and call my job. They also said their investigation department will look me up if I do not pay them and give them information to secure my debt. I don't owe them anything because I never took out this loan. Also, they keep asking for my bank account information. The number they called from is 978-992-0305. I looked up and called this Cash Net company and they informed me that there was a fraud scam going on. Don't listen to them if they call you. Thanks

I also got this call on Monday, April 18 (which I answered) and then again today when he left a voicemail. They are Indians but they have very common American names. I asked to speak to someone that I could understand since I couldn't understand a single word he was saying and all he did was press buttons and then say I was connected to someone else. But it was the same guy with a slightly more American accent. The phone number they give me to call back is 206-312-5310. They say that they are from Sonic Cash and I owe them money for a cash advance (which I never applied for or received) and that they want to come to court, give them my lawyer's number, verify information, appear in court, etc. I did a reverse lookup on their number and they are out of Seattle, WA. There is no listing for their number or address but it did give me the city and county. Should I also contact the attorney general's office?

i was called by sonic cash net and they said we owed money for a payday loan we never had.they went as far as to call my husband place of work.they are not in the us, so i don't think it does any good to report it to the police. they can't do anything. i spent the day calling every number i could find on them and harassing them. they don't like it. they block my number from calling them, so i guess i won't be hearing from them. fight back you will feel better and maybe they will stop calling
