I have received several calls from people claiming to be officers calling to inform me of a lawsuit that has been filed against my name and SS# for an internet loan from CashnetUSA. All of the calls come from FL, WA. or NY and all from foreigners that don't speak English well enough to understand them. I have contacted a couple back afater several calls were made and requested they send a certified letter from a lawyer to my home address as well as email me for which they all have my email from the internet. All have responded they cannot do that as it is illegal to send me written notification. All have claimed to be officers of the court or work with the Attny General, or American Law Dept or Dept of Crime & Investigations. They refuse to give me an email address to contact them. When I call the #s they give I ask for the person who called me Officer Charlie Brown, Officer Shawn Williams, Officer Jess Orlando and the list goes on but when I am transferred to that person it is the same person who transferred me. They state I or my lawyer need to contact them to settle a lawsuit against my name & SS# and if I they don't hear from me they can only wish me good luck and god bless as the consequences are on me. They refuse to contact me in writing or stop calling about a fictitious loan that was never paid to me to begin with. In fact was rejected for the funds for one reason or another. They did however seel this info to these people for scam purposes. I am not liable for paying a debt I do not owe nor will I tolerate being harassed at work or anywhere else. I have had a couple of these "officers" tell me they will send out an officer to have me arrested for committing a crime. I have reported them to the Attorney General, The Federal Crime Investigations Board, The Better Business Bureau, as well as my local police dept just so they know this problem exists. CashnetUSA is not an up&up outfit as they will take your information sell it illegally as I know when I tried to apply I specifically marked that I do not want them to share my info with their other companies but they did so anyway. They will fraudulantly try to collect non existant debts as wll as debts that are no longer from what I have read on the internet.

THIS IS A FRAUD CLAIM A SCAM CLAIM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!!

I just received a call from a representative of CashNetUSA who stated his name was "Chief" Andy Brown whose accent was so thick I could barely make out what he was saying. This "Chief" Andy Brown was claiming I was under investigation for Internet and Banking Fraud (aren't those federal charges so shouldn't I at least get a courtesy call from the FBI?) "Chief" Brown advised me that I was now in default on a $400.00 loan from CashNetUSA and the amount on the loan was $1, 300.00 WTF??? If I did not agree to pay this amount I would be subject to humilation and agents would come to my job and arrest me in front of my co-workers...I should have informed "Chief" Brown I work in a state correctional facility and neither he or his agents would get no further than the visiting room but anywho, when I began to ask "Chief" Brown when was the loan made, for how much and that I was going to call my bank to get the bank statements because quite frankly, I don't recall getting a loan from CashNetUSA or giving them authority to remove funds from my account, he became extremely agitated, beligerent and unprofessional to say the least. $1, 300 for a $400 loan? That I have no record of ever receiving in the first place? Are you kidding me? "Chief" Brown told me I had 5 minutes to call my back to clear up this matter or else in the next day or so, his agents would be calling my job, supervisors and co-workers to embarrass me (in so many words). Trust me, as soon as I get off work, I'am going to my bank, check my statements, and cancel my bank account...This is obviously a scam to get money! If this charge was remotely true (Internet & Banking Fraud), The FBI would be investigating, not "Chief" Andy Brown who sounded as though he was on a long distance line from the Phillipines.

I keep getting a call from some forigener saying I have a lawsuit from Cashnet. I have never had a loan with them and I am tired of them calling and harrasing me. It seems they get your numbers from online applications and just call you thinking you are going to be foolish and send them money. Please know I ain't no fool. I know the game and I'm not falling for it...

Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

12/01/2010—The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check cashing services.
One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The method by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim’s relatives, friends, and employers.
Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt.
These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller.
If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:

Contact your banking institutions;
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
