I received a call from
an international number 11028551013 and he left a message stating his name was James
Anderson and it was very important that I call him back and if I refused to
call him back or didn't have my attorney call him back then all he could do was
wish me luck in the proceedings. He told me to call back to 858-345-4559. Then
not 2 minutes later he called me back at my job. I took the call and I asked
him who he was with and who he was calling on behalf of and was then supposedly
transferred to an Attorney Daniel Martinez who couldn't give me any information
and then hung up on me after being very rude and disorderly.
I then called the 858
number back the next morning after reviewing bank statements and got a
gentleman named Shawn Joseph. He asked me for my phone number and looked up my
information in his system. He told me that he was going to read me the
affidavit and I couldn't interrupt him. He told me I took a loan from Fast Cash
International and they direct deposited the money into my bank account and when
they went to take the funds out the banking information was no longer valid. He
told me they were suing me for 2 counts of check fraud and theft because I had
not repaid my loans and that the federal government had already paid them but I
still needed to pay the Federal Government back there money which came up to
$996.24 if I wanted to settle out of court or it would be $6249.52 including my
bail if I proceeded to dispute this claim.
He listed my full
name, last 4 of my social, email address, place of work, bank name, and bank
number. The last 4 of my bank account number was correct but the first 5
numbers were incorrect. When I got a chance to speak I told him I had never applied
for nor have I received any type of loan from Fast Cash International. He said
"Well Sir I dont know what to tell you but just be prepared for whats to
come" and proceeded to argue more with me. I told him that I didn't know
what to tell him because He could not release any information to me on the Fast
Cash International company as far as a telephone number or contact information
regarding the case. He told me "oh well, we're still going to serve you at
your work and court papers will be filed at 9am so just be prepared. I told him "do what you have to do"
and He then said Well since you are being unresponsive and clearly arent trying
to repay the loan Ill see you in court and have bail money, then He hung up.
They made no attempt to contact me prior to the night before filing papers
against me so if there is/was any issue before this "suit" was filed,
I had no idea.
