INSTANT CASH USA Being harrassed by a Law Firm and their Lawyer that is Representing Instant Cash USA Internet
I am going through personal and financial issues right now - and low and behold I received a call today at work of all places - from a Mike Roberston (with an strong accent) Lawyer at Andersons Law and Assoicates out Los Angles CA.
He gave me a case#CA001542365
Stating that Instant Cash USA has filed a law suit against me and my friends I used as a ref., for the amount of $5484.84 or I could OOCR for $845.00, but that I had to pay right now, fax over a noterised letter from me stating that I would pay this along with a copy of my Texas Id, Soical Security number and address this was to confirm it was coming from me, then had to pay them back using a Debt Card or Credit Card (and or), pre-paid CC.
I work on TS so I place Mike Robertson on hold and took my customer call - at that time he hung up and called back and lvm.
He stated that it did not look like I was going to work with him and getting this paid off so he was going to send a rep over to my job and have me arrested and a rep to my ref's and have them arrested-
Then would be going to jail for 6 months since I could not pay back the 845 there would be no way to pay the 5484.84 so I would be going to jail for 6 months.
And would have my employer fire me on the spot.
I have attempted every which way to attempt to find this law firm from Los Angels and this lawyer as well.
I have even gone to the county of LA clerk web site attempting to locate this case number that has been filed - and even called the several numbers given to call - but no luck - I just need to figure out if this is really real - I have DJD and the more upset I get just aggarvates it and it becomes painful.
SO ANYONE OUT THERE IN THE LA AREA, CAN YOU HELP ME OUT AND CHECK IF THIS LAW FIRM IS REAL AND THE ATTORNEY AND OR WHERE I CAN VIEW THIS CASE NUMBER LISTED ABOVE
I would really be thankful

Same old scam, same old scammers, but using a new name. Go to the search box on this site and type in CASHNET. I think you'll find the reports very familiar. The absurd claim that either you or your references could be arrested for an unpaid debt is the clincher.
It has become clear from numerous reports of this scam, that the scammers have come into posession of a large amount of personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, references, bank acct. numbers and social security numbers. Most of those reporting the scam indicate that at some time in the past, they filled out an online loan application. My guess is that these scammers have obtained (most likely illegally) a large database of this personal info.
While these particular scammers are only using the info to try to make themselves appear to be a legitimate collector, that does not mean they couldn't sell the info to some other criminal when they are done with it. The amount of information they are revealing on these phone calls is enough to allow anyone to steal your identity.
If you've received one of these scam calls, you should consider your identity to be at risk. I highly recommend going to the FTC's identity theft website and taking the precautions outlined there :
