Rosenthal, Stien, and Associates Threatens Mom with check fraud and arrest... doen't own home but told to get title loan on car to pay them, Internet
I recieved a call from my Ex-Husbands wife saying her parents recieved a call from some one stating I was under criminal investigation and could be arrested if I did not contact them immediatly. We all live in different states and I don't even have their number and have never even spoken to my Ex husbands, Wife's, parents...Why would I.
I called immediatly and spoke with a Mr. Parris, who proceded to tell me about a payday loan from May of 2006, for over $1000.00, had sent my file to them just yesterday and was trying to collect their money, and if I did not pay him today he would have to take the next steps to collect.
Iasked him what they involved and he stated it could be criminal investigation for check fraud and I could be arrested. I am a full time student mother of two and a working husband. I informed him I could do nothing until Sept. when I would get my student loan money and he said "that's not possible just so get that idea out of your head."
Crying and scared to death I would end up in jail, I said how long do I have and he said he could give me 24 hours to find other rescources to pay him.
He then aske dif I owned my home and when I told hime no he asked about my and suggested I get a "Title Loan" to pay him.
I then decided to get my husband invloved and told "Mr. Parris" I would call him by tomorrow.
After calmning down and talking with a few people, I called Mr. Parris back, That day and today, clearly stating I wanted to resolve this matter, I never intentionaly didn't pay, and I would need his address, and company information, the original comany's claim, original amount all in writing mailed to me before w I could pay him.... I have not heard back from Mr. Parris.
I wonder why the intial company has never contacted me and how this man got ahold of me....SCARY..
Life happens, things can't get paid, I never intentionaly didn't pay, this was over 5 years ago.

This company has called everybody in my family posing as not only attorneys, but impersonating police officers on the phone. They (Mrs. Waltz) told my sister that my brother was being investigated for fraud charges and would go to jail if they did not hear from him by 1pm eastern standard time. My sister has recently had major surgery and this upset her so much that she ended up in the emergency room. This is the nastiest collection company of them all. I have contacted my local police department and am filing a complaint. I will take this as far as I have to in order to make sure that this scum is put out of business for good.

Your post seems to imply that you're actually going to pay this scammer.
".. Life happens, things can't get paid, I never intentionaly didn't pay, this was over 5 years ago."
That's what they want you to think. In fact, this is all a scam. There is no outstanding loan (at least not with these characters). The dead giveaway is the threat of criminal charges. That's absurd and even real bill collectors do not stoop so low.
This is a well known scam on this site. Go to the search box, type in "cashnet" and see if any of those reports sound familiar.
