Complaint Review: American Legal Services

I received a phone call at 8:55 a.m. today from someone saying he was Henry Taylor saying he was representing PCS.  He threatened me with a lawsuit against me and my social security.  When I asked him who he was representing he said American Legal Services.  Then I asked him for his license number to do business in Indiana.  He refused and tried to talk over me.  He finally gave me a person he called his manager a Mr. Thomas who also threatened me with a lawsuit.  I again asked for his license number to practice in Indiana and said I would contact the Indiana Attorney General's office to see if he was legitimate.  They wanted to know the name of my attorney and I refused to give them any information until I checked him out. At that point the conversation ended.

They said they were representing a company called Cash Advance USA with whom I have never done business.

The ID number when they called me was:  000-000-0000 which is offshore.  The number they left on my answering machine to call them was 347-441-0578.

This is a scam.  Do not respond to them.

I believe this is the same company only a different name who called me 2-3 months earlier threatening and whom I had the sheriff call to get information which they refused.  I hadn't heard from them until Friday when they left 3 messages on my answering machine within 10 minutes of each other.
