For at least a week I have received calls from
a man with an middle eastern accent saying his name was Steve Hawkins on my cell phone and my business phone. He
was very unprofessional and kept telling me that I needed to call him and if I
didn't call him all he could say was good luck to me. He left a phone number to call 415-578-3873. I ignored these calls for a while, but because they did not stop and occurred several times a day, I called the number. I was told to hold on, hold on several times and then I just hung up. Steve Hawkins (if that is even his real name) immediately called me back on my office phone. He kept saying there was a lawsuit against me
and wanted to know my lawyer's name so they could serve him a subpoena. I
kept asking what it was about and the man said "You're trying to tell me
you don't know what this is about?". I asked who was suing me
and that he needed to provide some documentation. He told me he could not provide any information to me because I was the one that committed the crime! I then asked what country he was in, because if I was being charged with any crime I would receive legal documentation. He said
the only way they can do that is to the information to my attorney or send a subpoena to my employer and
then my employer would know everything about this. I asked for his supervisor and another man (also with an middle eastern accent) advised me to call Cash Connect at 310-598-1655. When I called Cash Connect they would not provide me with any proof either. I told them I knew I had never done any business with them and I wanted proof. He then referred me to Joe Brown and said he was with the Federal Court, but he gave me the same number, 415-578-3873 as this Steve Hawkins! I called back and talked to yet another man (honestly I wonder if it isn't all one person) who was very unprofessional and down right rude. He would not even let me talk and I stated he was being rude and he said "yes, because you are a criminal" I hung up and immediately called Federal Trade Commission and filed a report. I have also requested a fraud alert with Experian and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as advised from the Federal Trade Commission.

I recommend everyone else to do the same. Right before filing this report I went to http://www.cash-connect.com/ This website now has a Fraud Alert listed on the site and you are advised to contact the FBI.
