CS Williams - First Cash International Fraudelent Phone Call - Wanted to tell me I had an unpaid payday loand and I was going to be sued. Nationwide
I received a call on my cell phone on Friday, February 5th, by caller by the name of Daniel Peters. He told me I had better talk to him or he was going to sue me. He had a strong Indian accent. I hung up the phone. After worrying about his call all weekend, I returned his call (his phone number is 707-657-4602) on Monday, February 8th. He asked if I had an attorney and to have my attorney call him.
I asked him what it was about and what type of attorney i needed and he said probably a criminal attorney. I asked him what I had done. He said I would be in trouble for an unpaid payday loan and would be charged with bogus check writing, and some other criminal charges. I was so upset. He said the date of the loan pay off should have been Sept. 21 and it was returned. He said the company had tried to run it again and it was rejected once more. I asked the name of the company and he said it was First Cash International.
I checked with my bank and there were no returned items. He threatend to send papers to my work and that my work would find out about it. He wanted to settle at 8 hundred and some dollars that he wanted in a prepaid visa card. I need help! We need to get this guy!!!!! I did not do it what he asked. This is definitely a scam and I spent many hours/days upset about his telephone call. He had my cell number, my last four digits of my social security number and my home address and my bank name and the last four digits of my checking account.

It has become clear from numerous reports of this scam, that the scammers have come into posession of a large amount of personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, references, bank acct. numbers and social security numbers. Most of those reporting the scam indicate that at some time in the past, they filled out an online loan application. My guess is that these scammers have obtained (most likely illegally) a large database of this personal info.
While these particular scammers are only using the info to try to make themselves appear to be a legitimate collector, that does not mean they couldn't sell the info to some other criminal when they are done with it. The amount of information they are revealing on these phone calls is enough to allow anyone to steal your identity.
If you've received one of these scam calls, you should consider your identity to be at risk. I highly recommend going to the FTC's identity theft website and taking the precautions outlined there :
