Fast Cash Int'l / Financial Accountability Assoc. Indian-sounding man called and harrassed me about an unpaid payday loan I never took out! Internet
8-10-09 An indian-sounding man called me at work saying he was with Financial Accountability Associates calling on behalf of First Cash International. He called to "inform me of a law suit they are bringing against me for an unpaid payday loan" I supposedly took out 9 months ago. He said that my "job was in jeopardy" and that my "boss would know about what is going on". He said that they have accrued about $5,000 in expenses trying to get the case resolved.
I had never heard from this company before. No previous mail, email or phone calls. Just out of the blue! This man was rude, to say the least, and threatening me. The scary part was, he knew my full name, my SSN, my home address, my employer & job title, and two of my references. He asked me to validate this information - which I did stupidly.
I asked him for the name of the company I supposedly took the payday loan from, and he said that Fast Cash Int'l operated over 300 websites and that he couldn't tell me which one I took the loan from. He said it could have been First Cash Int'l.
Once I figured out what was going on, I hung up on the guy, and he had the guts to call me right back and left a voicemail on my work phone! The phone number he left me was 661-210-4681 and when I called it back, all I got was a busy signal.
I don't know how this man had my information.
WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS COMPANY? There are many rip-off reports on these guys. So, what's the hold up?

I too have received a call today from an indian fellow claiming to be an attorney for the federal government. He said that a pay day loan company had filed a lawsuit against me stating that I had refused to pay them back. I have never heard of First Cash International, nor have I used them as a lending company.
He had my name, work number and social security number. He didn't know how to respond to the simple request of "What is this lender's phone number so that I may contact them", he said it was a conflict of interest for him to do so. I have been all over the internet and I can't seem to find a number for this said lending company. He said that the lawsuit was being processed and that I needed to pay ASAP.
I requested the number again so he patched me through to his "supervisor". The supervisor was rude and belligerent stating that I owed this money, however he too would not provide me any additional information. He hung up on me and just a few minutes later, the first indian guy that called me had called back in order to provide me with his call back number!
I Googled the call back number that was provided and these scam artists have been doing this to people for sometime. I contacted the local authorities and until these men actually make a threat against me, there was nothing they could do. As far as I can tell from the information I have collected, the AG will investigate the number and that was pretty much it.
When will something be done about these scam artists?
