I received a call at work from a foreign gentleman (# on caller ID was 320 051 685 - not even a real number) indicating he was from Cash Advance Group of USA and I was being sued for bank fraud and he had an affidavit to read for me and not to interrupt him. He told me that I received close to $1,000 from their online service and when they went to debit the funds for repayment, there was no money in my account and my account was closed (which it is not).
I asked for a supervisor and I was transferred to Jack Brown - also foreign. He gave me the same line as the first guy. Neither could tell me when I got the money or any information about the supposed 'case', just that Jack Brown was an attorney (really!! I work for attorneys)
I finally was transferred to Shawn Jones, also foreign (go figure) and he indicated that he was the Lead Attorney for Cash Advance Group and did I want to settle this out of court and pay them or did I want to go to jail for federal bank fraud. I continued to ask him questions, to which he attempted to avoid. I finally was given a call back # of 951-252-2609. He finally told me that I received the $1,000 advance in March 2011; I told him I was looking at my bank account and that didn't happen and I could prove it. He said the bank was lying - he did have the last 4 digits of my social and my account number as well as other personal information.
I told him to send me a complaint and summons and I would address it that way if this was real. He then said 'good luck getting out of jail' and hung up on me. I called the # back and a foreign gentleman answered and simply said 'hello'???? I emailed my bank and gave them all the info; then I did a search and found these scam reports on the same people that sound exactly like mine. Jack Brown even called back and left a voicemail and asked that I call him to discuss this matter.
