Insta Cash I was contacted by daniel andrews and was told if I didnt pay 900 and some dollars they were taking me to court and it would cost me 5000 and I would be charged with money laundering Internet
I was contacted by insta cash by Daniel Andrews, he informed me he worked for a back door company for instacash and that I owed 900 and some dollars and if I didnt settle with him now on the phone , it was going to cost me 5000 , I would have to go to court , they would contact my employer and government agencys,and I can be charged with money launderying. I asked him who he worked for and he kept saying instacash and I told him I did not know who that was and he continued to tell me they own 300 plus web sites, I asked him who the loan was through, he hung up on me, then he called back. I again asked him who he worked for and where was the loan taken from?. Again, another hang up with a return call, I answered his questions, he asked if I had any judgements against me and a 2 other questions that I cant remember right now, I told him I answered his questions now I would like mine answered without being hung up on, he was hard to understand in the first place, his accent was very thick and I could hear other people speaking in the background. he said he would answer them because he had all of my information in front of him. I once again asked who the supposed loan was through? He said he didnt have that info due to the fact that they own 300 compines, I asked him how much was the loan for? He couldnt tell me that either, he just said with late fees and other costs it was 900 and something, I asked him what bank this supposed money was issued to? he did tell me the name of my bank but failed to have the routing number or account number, but he he had all of the info he needed to take me to court.I cant call them back because the number on my ID is 0000. He also asked me to verify my social and I refused.

These people continue to attempt to bother me, I stopped answering the phone when they call now they leave voice mails using a different name---- Peter parker, same man different name. This time he starts out very quiet on the message and then gets upset and says I beed to call him NOW, he starts yelling and tells me he feels sorry for whatever happens to me.

You did the right thing by hanging up, but you do not need to answer their questions first!

I'm glad you did not verify your social with them. However, it really is best to not discuss or verify any information with these scammer.
It sounds like they have come up with a new wrinkle lately, mentioning X number of websites that they own in responce to the questions: "Who are you? and Who do you work for?" type questions.
Of course their answer of 'We have 300 websites' neatly sidesteps the question. It does not matter how many websites or domain names these scammers claim they have. The number of websites does not answer any question about the origin of the "debt". That is how you know it is fake.
If they were a real creditor they would have the information: name of creditor, date of debt, date of default and all of your personal information. And they would have to send you a written letter within 5 days of intial contact. None of these scammers send out letters or have proper info. The fact that they threaten you with going to court and costing you $5k for a $900 "debt" is enough to show it is a scam. Once they say you will be charged with 'money laundering' you know for sure it is a scammer.
Just tell them you know they are a scammer and hang up. Read some of the reports on here, they have much more interesting responces to these scammers. You might want to try one of those! :)

These assholes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only filthy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES
Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, when they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.

scam to me - especially if they had thick accents. Tell them when they call you know it is a SCAM, tell them you are putting a curse on them and HANG UP!
