Department of Law and Investigations/ Cashnet Austin Jones Almost got $511 dollars from me until I checked them out on the internet. USA, Texas
I received a phone call letting me know of serious consequences if I did not pay a debt of $511 within 6 hours to a company. I have called two BBBs, My courthouse to see if an affidavit had been filed, and have contacted the FBI. THIS IS A SCAM! Tell them to shove it for me the next time any one of you hear from them. Always check the internet if you think it's a scam. I never received money from this company. True I have payday loans, but not from CASHNET. The guy said he was an Officer Austin Jones with a heavy Middle Eastern accent. Be careful.

These a******s are calling from India or Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Game plan is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and more recently the ACS Law division, and more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only Slimy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, if they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
