Baker & McKenzie Jason Haynes (the man that called) Threatened, harrassed, intimidated & caused emotional distress! Internet, California
I missed a phone from 510-227-1812 in which a lady named Nancy left a very threatening message. Nancy warned me not to disregard the phone call or no one would be able to help me as the events unfolded and the consequences of not returning the call.
After receiving 6 more phone calls in less than 24hrs, I called back. The man that answered the phone did not state the name of the company, he immediately said my name and started asking me to verify my personal information.
I stopped him and asked the name of his company and what this was in reference to. He simply gave me the name of the firm he claimed to represent "Baker & Mckinzie". At no point in time did he state he was attempting to collect a debt and/or that information was being obtained for that purpose. He went immediately back into asking me to verify my personal information Social Security #, bank name, email address etc., I did not verify that information.
I asked him again what this was in reference to, he stated I had a loan that I had not paid. He could not or would not give any information, no date of origin, no location, only that it was a company called Cash Advance. I told him I do not have an outstanding loan with this company there must be a mistake, could he please give me the information I needed to dispute this. His response was I could get that information in court. "COURT"?
The more I demanded information the more threatening he became. He stated at one time he was only trying to help me because he could see that I had no criminal record. He told me that with in one hour of our phone call if I did not pay $632.00 my bank account would be frozen, my pay garnished, my drivers license would be suspended, my assets seized and a warrant issued for my arrest!
He started out telling me I had a loan that I hadn't paid and went to saying things like I had committed check fraud. "FRAUD"! I was scared to death thinking I was about to be arrested for something I new nothing about and couldn't seem to get any information about! I have never even had a speeding ticket. The thought of being arrested was so terrifying that I almost paid the money just because I was scared, and they had a lot of personal information about me(I did not confirm it, but they had a lot) that alone scared me.
A co-worker researched this and found it to be a scam and that I should report it. These people need to be stopped!
