To whom it may concern;

 About 2 to 3 months ago I had taken out a payday loan on line.  About 1 month ago, I started getting some phone calls. First, from a Mr. Edmund Raymond who was asking for $766.00 dollars and then from a Mr. James Brown who was asking for $500.36 dollars.

(They said that they were calling on behalf of: US Fast Cash)
Case No: CFI150781
(Mr. Brown) Amount to be paid $500.36 in installments of: $100.00 and there was also another case no: which is 856590. (Mr. Edmund Raymond) amount to be paid:
$766.00 in installments of: $266.00

 Dear Mr. Brown
I, am making arrangements to pay off this $500.36 balance in payments of $100.00 or more for a period of two or three payments a month. I authorize the payments to be made to United Nations Legal Dept (Collections).  The first payment will begin on June 4th, 2011 and then every so often until paid off using the following card information:

Card Type:
Name on the card:
Card Number:
Expiration Date:
Security Code:

1st
payment of: $__________________ will be made on: __________________
2nd
payment of: $ _________________ will be on: _______________________
3rd
payment of: $ ___________________ will be on: ______________________
4th
payment of: $ ___________________ will be on: ______________________
5th
payment of: $ _____________________ will be on: _____________________

If for some reason I cannot keep up with my payments, I will notify you by phone or email (a head of time) so that other arrangements can be made. (I just recently got laid off) He (Mr. Brown) said that I was to sign the letter and then fax it along with a copy of my Identification card and my credit card using the fax number that is listed above.  I started thinking that something is strange about that!!

Question:  What would the United Nations Legal Dept have to do with US Fast Cash?
      Thats very suspicious indeed!!!!!!!!!!
Question: What would the United Nations Legal Dept want with copies of my Identification card and my Credit Card?
      They probably want to steel my Identity!!!!!!
Time went by and I kept on thinking that something really strange is going on!
So, I made some phone calls and when I called US Fast Cash at: 1 (800) 636 9460, I spoke to a lady and she had informed me of a couple things:

A. My name was never turned into any type of collection agency.
B. This is a scam and that I should inform the FTC and I did by calling a toll free number:
1(877) 382 4357 in Indiana and they gave me a confirmation: 3085228 for my report.
C. They run across this type of problem often.
D. I was also informed  that they may have my banking information!
E. I also called
the Attorney General at: 1 (800) 422 7128 and also informed them about this as well.
F. On Thursday June 2nd, 2011 I reported this to fraud alert. 
(Online at: (((email redacted)))
G.  I called Net Spend and cancelled both, my prepaid credit card and virtual account.
H. Today June 3rd, I went to my bank Wells Fargo and spoke with a Personal Banker about what is going on and I closed my checking account and re-opened a new  one. nbsp;                   
I. Friday June 3rd, 2011 I went to the 7th distrisct today and they had advised me that this was a civil case.
J. Friday June 3rd, 2011 I went to the bank and closed my checking account an re-opened a new one.
       Please note the following:

1). Mr. James Brown Claiming to be from the United Nations Legal Department.
2). Mr. Edmund Raymond, phone number: 1 (806) 496 2650 and is also Claiming to be from the United Nations Legal Department and his fax number is: (206) 338 - 1494

      Mr. Edmund Raymond called  today, Thursday, June 02, 2011 requesting  the amount of: $266.00 to be paid on Friday, June 3rd , 2011 however,  I told him that I was sick and I needed until  Saturday June 4th, 2011 to do it.
        (That will allow me time to go and close out my bank account and open up a new one.)  Simply because I was also made aware that they may have my personal bank account information.

Please note: being unaware as to what was going on days earlier, Mr. Edmund Raymond had been calling me threatening legal action if I didnt follow through and type and sign a letter agreeing to make payments of $266.00 until the balance of $766.00 was paid in full and then fax it to him.  I gave them my net spend credit card info however as of Thursday, June 02, 2011 my Net Spend Card and Virtual account has been canceled and a new card and virtual has been issued.
(It was just recently when I called US Fast Cash; I found out that this is nothing but a SCAM!).
 
Friday June 3, 2011 Mr. Edmund Raymond called me again from the same telephone as listed above at 11:30 am wanting information regarding the payment of: $266.00 and his email address is as follows:  usfcash@ymail.com
