Epstein-Weinberg & Assoc. Joel Epstein, Victor Golden, William Tull Collections; On-Line Loan; Threaten Jail; Check Fraud College Park, Georgia
On 9/28/10, I received the first of multiple phone calls from an "Agent Andrews" who initially said that Duval County in Georgia had an Open Arrest Warrant out for me for check fraud. That put me in an automatic panic. I am on Disability and taking narcotic medication. Ms Andrews said she was from the firm of Epstein-Weinberg. She did not say what kind of agency it was; did not say that she was an officer of the court. She said that I owed $965 and if I didn't pay, the company, QUICKEST LOAN ADVANCES.COM would move ahead and press felony charges against me. She put the fear of God in me and in my panic, I set up a payment plan to pay $241 for 4 months (Oct.2010 - Jan. 2011) and provided them with my bank debit card info. I asked to have our conversation and the payment plan written up by them and then e-mail me or write to me corroborating this information. I never received the e-mail.
After the4 fact, I went on line to learn that there was no QUICKEST CASH ADVANCES.COM. There was no company address, or phone number. It was a link to other On-Line Cash Advance Loans. Additionally, the only information on Epstein-Weinberg was a series of multiple blogs all giving negative information and stating that this "firm" was a scam to bilk unsuspecting individuals of their money. I then came across a blog that stated that E-W & Assoc. was a THIRD PARTY Collection Agency that dealt primarily with On-Line cash advance loans and dunned people who got loans and who failed to payback the money.
I wrote E-W a letter that I will be mailing out Return Receipt Requested/Certified Mail requesting a copy of the application, the name, address and phone number of Quickest Cash Advances.com and the physical mailing address of Epstein etal PRIOR to their firm debiting the money. If I do not receive this documentation, I will freeze the checking account. Back in 2003, I got scammed for $17,000 and am very wary. But when the woman mentioned the Police and Jail. I got scared.
