I recieved a telephone call from an individual claiming to be an attorney in Southern California, with a law firm supposedly representing Advance Cash USA, and that I was being sued by them as a result of a dishonored ACH transaction by my bank for an advance (pay day) loan that not only had I never applied for nor been approved for, but was never credited to ny account. Upon my asking questions of this person with regards to the nature of the lawsuit and the name of the law firm again, he stated that I was to return a phone call to the Senior Attorney at the firm within 5 minutes and at which time I would be explained the nature of the charges and what could be done to avoid expensive litigation, arrest and of course the irreperable damage to my reputation and criminal record. I indeed did return the call, abnd to my surprise, the "Senior Attorney" had all of my personal, private information, as well as all of my financial institution informatio. YIKES!!!! H then proceeded to tell me that as he was going to explain the nature of the charges etc.. I was not to interrupt him, and that AFTER he was finished, then, and only then, could I ask him any questions regarding this matter. After he told me of the supposed dire circumstances surrounding thes REDICULOUS, made up charges and baloney lawsuit, I asked him for hard copy evidence of this lawsuit being filed and for necessary contact info for the company who was issuing the request for prosecution, to which he replied he was not at liberty to disclose such information, but I could settle this matter without court proceedings etc... if I would authorize an ACH from my bank in the amount of $1500.00. Naturally, I did no such thing and again requested the contact info, as well as the exact date of the supposed transfer of funds to my bank account, and again he stated that he "was not at liberty to give me that information" and he did not have the exact transfer date. I then stated that I would not fall victim to his obvious SCAM and that I was goingf to report this call to the proper authorities and to my bank, to which he replied that "A Sheriff would be there to arrest me tomorrow" and then he hung up. I contacted my financial institution and they told me that this seems to be a resurgence of a previous scam that hundreds of people have fallen victim to, and that I should not divulge ANY personal, private nor credit/financial info online AT ALL, unless I can verify the recipient of such info is both certified and secure! Beware all, these non english speaking cyber criminals are very sneaky, and if you do fall victim, make sure you let EVERYONE you can know about it, together we can all make a difference!
