Legal Affadavits Office Saying I owed US National Bank for pay day loan taken out in 2006 Irvine California
I received a voice mail (at my place of employment) Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 from a gentleman with a thick, foreign accent stating that either myself or my attorney needed to call them back "NOW" because it was a time sensitive matter. He said he was sorry for what was going to unfold upon me.
I called the number back and the same voice answered the phone and said his name was Max. He said that I had taken out a payday loan online in 2006 and had defaulted on the loan which now totalled over $1000, and that the legal fees were around $5500.
This man had my full social security number , my home address , my banking information (from an old, closed account) and the names of 2 contacts (who ARE my relatives)...
He told me that I had 3 charges against me and that I was due in court Thursday, September 11th, 2008 at 11 a.m. He told me that I was going to jail and if I didn't have an attorney that I should get one because I was going to need bail money.
He started reading me a "supposed" affadavit listing the charges against me. I asked him why, if I was supposed to be in court in 2 days hadn't I received a document in the mail and his answer was that they had sent over 35 emails to me and I had ignored them. The email address he had had been closed for a while.
He hung up on me and I called back - he hung up again. My father called him and he hung up on my father after he gave my father my personal information. I did contact my lawyer who told me to contact my police department and file a report.
I filed a police report that afternoon and they are going to launch an investigation with a detective (possibly contacting the Attorney General).
I have since received another voice mail (the same night around 9 p.m.) at work and today (9/11/08) the man called me back. I spoke with him this time and he said I had to be in California court tomorrow (9/12) at 11 a.m. The time didn't change, but the date did.
I told him I knew he was a scam and that I had filed a police report. He became billigerant and told me that he was from a legal office and he, himself said something about the attorney general. He hung up on me again...

Go to FTC.gov or Fair-debt-collection.com to find out your rights and how to handle them. Usually when they start with threats - its because they do not have a valid debt and are only trying to get your checking account information. I've read several of these and they all have one thing in a common - A man with a thick accent! Demanding immediate payment and he always has accuarate personal information. Sounds like identity theft!
