calling my friends in another state with the last 4 of my social saying i have criminal complaints about me and i can be picked up at anytime if i dont call back the name was given and left a message at friends house to call back
Received a VM from this firm stating they were a law firm and I owed them money. I never borrowed money and they are harassing me at my place of employment.
Receiving numerous harassing phones calls from "Justin Thomas", a caller with strong foreign accent. He indicates he is with a law firm with a case against me, that my job will be contacted and can lose my job, that I owe money, that I will be arrested by authorities
Research on line indicates this is an extortion scam as per the FBI.gov website. Plese help make this stop.
I received a call from this number this morning (12/15/10). This completely rude guy told me that i owed the $300.00 from a Payday Loan (which i never applied for/received). He said that if i did not pay him $425.00 by the end of the day, i was going to be arrested at my place of business on Friday. He also claimed that they had three pending charges against me.
When i insisted on more details, further information...he refused & got very pissy with me. He told me that i needed to fax over an admission of guilt, send him the $425.00 today, period.
When i asked to speak with his supervisor/manager, he told me that i was not allowed to speak to anyone but him.
I have since changed my e-mail addy, changed my cell phone number, cancelled out my bank account & re-opened a new one, turned them in to the Better Business Bureau, filed a complaint with the Department of Justice, filed a complaint with the consumer Fraud Department, & contacted my local police department.
I got a call from them this morning. Claimed I owed alot of money to Cashnet. Wanted me to fax over an admission of guilt and that I would pay them. He got very upset when I asked for more information from them. Total Scam. Do not answer the phone.

This exact same thing happened to me. I have never dealt with this company Cashnet. The guy told me that the funds in the amount of $300 were deposited into my account some time this year but could not give me a date. He went as far as telling me that I was going to be arrested in the morning at 11 am. This is very crazy. Do not give in to answer any personal questions that they ask.
