Department of Law and Investigation/Cashnet Marketing David This company called me attempting to commit telephone fraud by saying that I could be prosecuted for a delinquint payday loan. Internet
A man with a heavy Indian or Middle Eastern accent called me at my work number identifying himself as a federal officer from the Department of Law and Investigation. He advised me that a claim had been filed against me as a result of my taking out a payday loan online and not paying it. He told me to get a pen and write down my case # of CFI50781, which I did. I asked him what company was this loan from because I knew I had not taken out any loans. He said the lender was Cash Net Marketing and that company had well over 200 subsidiaries. He then put another gentleman on the phone who again began to recite the same information the fist man had given me. He gave me a phone number of 518-533-5340 which traces back to upstate New York. I asked for his name and he advised me David. I then inquired on how they could verify that I was the individual that had recieved the funds for the loan. He then recited my social security number to me which to my shock and suprise was correct. He said that they had traced through my isp my ip address and my e-mail address which he also recited. I advised him that a person could steal this information from online which is common these days. He firmly advised me that I was the person and that they would not have my personal information if I was not. I asked him if he had my banking account information. At this point he advised me to have my attorney contact him by the end of the day or else he would send officers to my home and place of employment to arrest me. I asked him to fax me documentation showing that I had received funds from this company. He advised me that he could not send me anything, but could fax it to my attorney once he called him. I advised him to go ahead and send the officers because I would be more than willing to speak with them about this issue. He then hung up the phone. I called back the number he provided me with and he answered. The background sounded like the inside of a call center. I filed a report with my local police department immediately after that. I will be contacting the credit bureaus and the FTC also. I believe that this company may have obtained my information through a completely different website that I entered my information on and that they either stole it or it was given to them by the other company.
People- even the companies that you may have accounts with may sell or give your information away to third parties. It is convenient to take care of business online but also dangerous. Beware.

I, too, have been receiving calls from these people. They have left numerous voicemails on my cell phone. The firs thing that struck me as odd is that the first time they called, the number on the caller ID was literally "007". Go figure. Anyways, I was not about to answer a call like that, so I let it go to voicemail. The guy who left the message had an accent but it wasn't indian. He left a message saying that he was from the department of law and investigation and that he couldnt discuss anything over the message and he gave me a number to call him back at.

This same company has called me 9 times, probably the same guy from the newyork phone no. he went through same speech with me. I was on to the scam when the guy said I had a payday loan deposited to my B of A checking account, I have never done a D/D to that bank never had a loan from CashNet.USA.
I got tired of his empty threats so I passed the phone to my husband, the man on the phone could barely speak english.
My husband tried to get more information from the man but couldn't understand his asian indian accent. He asked him "why are you calling harrassing my wife?" the man called my husband some pretty nasty names such as a mother f@#*er, used some very harsh language and threatened my husband as well. My husband told him come on over I'll be waiting for you. The guy hung up. This Cashnet scam needs to be shut down. These guys need to be thrown in Jail for all their fowl language, threats, and miss use of the phone. Please someone needs to stop these guys, I'm tired of them calling me every week.
