Last year at work this same company called claiming, "That they were coming to arrest me because I had taken out a loan with Cash Advance and had not paid it back." They had all of my personal information including S.S. number. The person told me that the only way I wouldn't be arrested was to give them my bank account number which I wasn't going to do. I hung up and the persistant man with a thick Indian Voice called back. We started arguing and at the end of the c. onversation he actually said, "May Allah bless you."
This morning at home, I started receiving Out of Area calls every 5 minutes. I wasn't answering but finally became annoyed. Mr. John Larson, with a thick Indian accent, said he was with the Department of Law and Investigation. I asked for a phone number and he said the he couldn't give me one. He asked me to verify all of my personal information and I refused. (I wasn't worried because this information is available online through companies like 1-800-detective.) So he started with the same threats. The best part was when he told me that I could not interrupt him. So I listened and told him I never took out a payday loan with that company and if I was being sued they could serve me papers at my house since they had my address. He kept screaming at me and saying "Listen to me."
I informed Mr. Larson that his company was all over the internet as a scam and I was going to report his to the Attorney General. He began screaming at me and I hung up. The persistant little bug, called me again once again screaming. I decided to use his tactics and screamed back. Once again saying they were a fraud, etc. He said, "You have committed a serious crime." I said, "Give me the case number." He started rambling off numbers. I asked him what state he was calling from. He stated yelling. I said, "If I have committed a serious crime there must be a warrant out for my arrest and since he had my address he could send the police." Then I said, "But I bet I know how we can resolve this...you want my bank account number so you can illegally remove money from my account." He started yelling at me again and said I didn't understand. I yelled back that I was calling the police and the State Attorney General's Office and hung up.
He called again, but I didn't answer. I woke up my daughter with the yelling and am typing this so I guess I didn't commit a serious crime. However, these people must be stopped. I wish I knew how to find them and take them to court for harrassment. I can only imagine how many people this company has intimitated. Their behavior is unacceptable and they are the people who are breaking the law.
