I have started receiving calls as of last week advising that I owe money and need to send the money via moneygram. They have called over 20 times today and I apparently spoke with a manager who told me I am subject to 5 years in prison if I do not pay them their money immediately. I requested something via email or mail and they advised that because it is in dispute they are not able to send me anything until it has been resolved. They have been requesting to speak with my manager and cursing at people who answer the phone.
They are not legally allowed to call your place of employment or threaten you with jail time. I do not owe these people and will not be sending them anything

I have been getting numerous calls over the past year from these people. Always the same messages. "There is a legal matter filed against your name and social blah blah blah.. I can only wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you". They have started calling my work phone as well. Saying that I will be charged with Theft, Check fraud, and some other damn charge. When I ask for the company information I get the response "I am not allowed to give you that information" Ummmm Yes by law you are required to give me that information nimrod. I also got told that I would be arrested and taken to jail. Considering they couldnt even pronounce Utah correctly I am not overly worried. I call their bluff every time and they always state that they are calling from the criminal investigation for US Cash Advance. Search that and you will find all kinds of info on this scam.. Whatever yo do DONT pay them any money. It's been over a year and I havent been arrested yet or had legal documents served to me. So .... It's time to just yank their chain around when they call.

I received two calls this morning, February 27, 2014. The first time the person identified himself as George Taylor and gave me the last four digits of my SS number and asked me to provide the rest to confirm they had the correct person. I am much smarter than that and asked what this is in reference to and he said we will get to that just confirm the SS number and I said not until you tell me what is going on. I was placed on hold and at that point I hung up. A few minutes later I received a second call asking why I hung up this time it was a Brian Walker even though it sounded like the same person. I said listen unless you tell me what is going on I will hang up again. He said I will just send the MD. State Police to pick you up. I said please send them. I work for an organization that is actually investigating your scam and I welcome the assistance so if you could send the police that would be nice of you. I then disconnected the call. I think I will call back this evening and ask my own questions such as the name of the law firm, senior partner, license number, state licensed to practice and supporting documentation of case against me and see how far I get.

Here is how you get them to stop. I love that they called me because I actually work in the legal department of a law enforcement agency. I let them leave a message (blah, blah things are going to get bad for me,etc. ) I called back and played dumb. As soon as they started with the threats, I informed them I was recording everything. I told him I needed the name of the law firm, managing partner's name, his law license #, the state they are licensed to practice in, something in writing verifying the claim they say they have against me, where it was filed. etc. He fumbled around and hung up. I called right back and told them my positiion and how interesting it was that they called me because I had a detective sitting right beside me eager to get their info so we could verify their claim. Hung up again. I called back. Hey, if they can continuously call me, I'll do the same. They said they didn't have to tell me anything and hung up. I waited a few days and called back. As soon as I said my #, they immediately said it was a "mistake" and they did not mean to call me. (Funny since they used my exact name the first 3 times) and said they would not call back again.

Bottom line is, call their bluff. If someone is really calling from a law firm, they will provide you the info you ask for. These guys are scammers preying on people hoping to scare them into giving out their banking info.

Similar to all the other reports-- a man with a thick indian accent, yelling in the background etc. has been calling me for WEEKS, leaving voicemails saying I'm in "big big" legal trouble, lawsuit against me, blah blah blah, and that he was from the legal/collection department of US Cash Advance (he said legal sometimes, collection others...). He also gave me different names-- in the voicemail, he would say his name was Thomas Smith, and then when I called back, he said his name was Donald... but I'm 99% sure it was the same guy. Threatening to send police to pick me up for court, telling me to call my attorney, etc etc.
