I recieved a phone call from this man who has a very thick indian or pakistani accent and went by the name: robert jones. He's stated that he's calling from a law firm for cash net and threatened me with a criminal prosecution, telling me that i have a payday loan that is unpaid. Ok, first of all, i do have a payday loan that was unpaid, so i did my research and found out that i do not own any money from any cash net payday loans, but in a different company. Note: there is only one cash net.. Which is cashnetusa so the other cash net is illegal!
Anyway, he was harrassing me and telling me that there will be a sheriff that will be going to my house or work place to give me warrant of arrest and i would need at least $5000 to solve this issue. He told me that if i don't want to pay that, i mind as well pay him 1, 295. 00 for not paying the $300. 00 loan that i laoned to this company.
So, i did my online research and called ftc and reported them what happened. I gave them the fax number that he gave me.
After a week, he called me back again and i asked him what the company name was and the address with the phone number, but "robert jone'" insisted in giving out information, he was rude to me and told me to shut up and listen to him! How dare! So i told him to stop calling me and stop the scams, then he hung up on me. ! He left a voicemail at work and gave me a call back number which is: [protected], i tried calling this number but the line was busy or an operator that says: your call did not go through.

People! Pls beware if a person with a thick indian or pakistani accent calls you with the name robert jones, stating that he's from a law office and threathening you with all this b. S! (Because educated people who works at a law firm will never speak to someone like that!) contact the federal trade commision immediately!

I received this same phone call.. i got another one today from a number [protected] claiming he was Cash Net also.. told me to have my lawyer contact him. When i told him i was completely aware that his practice was a scam and that the number he was calling me from was listed as a divorce attorney in Virgnina Beach, he told me to just wait to be served.

This guy sounded like an american, the first call had a very thick accent.

I recieved a call today just before 6pm from a number that stated on my caller ID "Emergency" when I answered it thinking it was for someone in my own house it was the Indian people again calling me for an account that I took care of in May, when I spoke to the gentleman he stated his name was Scott and that where will I be on Monday because I will be arrested and prosecuted for not paying this advance that I owed. I have explained to him over and over and he still wouldn't listen to me that the account was still outstanding. Don't be fooled I am going to my bank and will open a fraud investigation and then we will see who they are. Hopefully will get my money back, since I do know that if the state is going to prosecute they will send a summons to the home through Sheriff but never in the way that they where informing would happen.

I had the same thing happening in 2 different cases, I was able to take care of that and now I have another person that is doing the same thing he is african american who is also rude and has no information and says that he is from Southwest Recovery and then when you are trying to get info the think you are dumb. I told him that I took care of everything I needed to take care of and that there is nothing outstanding then he says that he is going to have this taken up with the States Attorney's Office. But will not provide still any information is threat is that the case will be passed on. I am tired and don't have any more money. The indian man did have all information but you would need to get through another person then Robert Jones he just works in there aministrative department and doesn't have the company's infor. This is a company that is out off San Diego but outsourced to India its cheaper for them. Mean while in america millions are without jobs and people are getting more laid off then everyone else. The Indians also provided fax and telephone but because its on west coast you can't get through till later on in the afternoon when they are just getting in in the morning

I got a call at 7:23 this morning from a man with from a wireless call #[protected] once again VERY THICK INDIAN OR PAKISTANI ACCENT who's name was"Adam smith", asking for my husbands attorney information saying he had court tomorrow. I was in a panic. I asked why, and he said because my husband owed cash net payday loan. Then i told the man that we have no attorney and that I did not know of any cash loan. That we owed he said that some one would be by to pick him up and take him to court in the morning. i was freaking out at this point and asked him how much was owed. He said "$5484.87 including attorney fees but that was if we went to court." I asked if we could settle, he asked me to please hold he needed to see of we had an oocr{ out of court restitution} then he got back on the phone and said excitedly that we could settle $1095.00. He then asked me to confirm personal information including the last 4 digits of my husbands social security number which they had, on top of that his job information. Then they told me I had 20 min to fax them a lettering saying, " attention to Adam smith I JOHN DOE", then his social security number "authorize creditors of cash net that I am making a payment of $1095.00 by debit with card #" then my card number and then they wanted it signed at the bottom with the social security number again. I was even foolish enough to give him my card number over the phone. He then put me on the phone with another man named "Greg brown" who kept telling me over and over to go and fax that paper that I only had 20 min. I went to the store and was waiting and thought about it. We have received no warning or subpoena for court. He would not tell me on the phone what court we had to go to, just that he would be picked up. So i tried calling the call back number he gave me [protected] and they acted like they could not hear me and hung up. I am guessing this is because they did not know the number and some one screwed up by answering. So i tried calling about 8 more time but it kept saying that the number was no longer in service the ring tone changed after 3 rings. I am guessing they have there phone forwarded to a none working number so by the off chance they catch the call in 3 rings after monitoring the number. So I went and called from my home phone no one answered. So then I tried there fax number [protected] no one answered it was a fax. So I tried to call back the cell number from 7:23 in the morning and it said it was a Verizon phone and it was no longer in service. So I tried to call them again from my home phone, and they picked on the second ring. I then told them that I had spoken with my uncle who works for the police and he wanted me to get some information, like what court do we have to be at, what time should we be there, who is coming to my house to get my husband, I said he worked for the fraud department, as soon as I said fraud they hung up on me. I tried to call back and the number rang once and said it was disconnected.

DON'T BE FOOLED !

Everyone PLEASE BEWARE! That phone call that you're getting is NOT from CashNetUSA.com! There is a scam artist using the company name CashNet.com with a very thick accent that's calling people claiming that they're going to send someone to your workplace to arrest you for fraud unless you make a payment to him RIGHT AWAY! I ended up harrassing HIM trying to find out what the hell was he talking about. He would place me on hold for extended amounts of time in the hopes that I would hang up in frustration. I finally contacted CAshNetUSA to find out why they had someone from their company harrassing me, especially since my account had been paid off a long time ago. They said that there is a scam that is going on at this moment and that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES am I to make ANY payments to whomever this person is. They are investigating through legal channels, but until they can catch this fraudulent company, unless they can provide you with LEGAL DOCUMENTATION as to when the loan was originally taken out, or any legal proceding that are being placed against you (which would be hand delivered by your local authorities, ANYWAY), do NOT make the mistake of thinking that this jerk is from CashNet USA or any other loan companies with similar names. IF HE CAN'T PROVE IT, DON'T FALL FOR IT!
