Bureau of Criminial Investigation representing Cashnet
Complaint 8801 Details

On July 28, 2011, received a voice message on my cell phone from an Indian sounding Male informing me that a legal case has been file against my name and social security number. The male stated that I or my attorney should call back to discuss the matter or a case will be filed against me and the local police will be told to arrest me at my home or work the next morning if I did not call back. I was scared so I returned the call. I spoke with a male named Alex, who had the same type of accent. He stated that a case was filed against me because my social security number was used multiple times on a Cashnet website to obtain pay day loans and my bank rejected a loan payment so the creditor wanted to make an example out of me and what to file a suite against me and but a block on my social security name which will affect my job and arrest me and the references that were listed on the loan application. This terrified me because like everyone I need my job and I did not want my references involved in a mess. He claimed if I paid over $1,000.00 the creditor would drop the case otherwise everyone would be arrested. At that time, I only had $15.00 in the bank but I could pull $50.00 off two credit cards. He accepted this and asked me to write a letter stating that I authorize Cashnet to make a payment of $100.00($50.00 from each card) along with my photo id. I regettably did it. When I got home, I called the two companies that I currently have paid loan with and found out that my accounts were in good standing and no one from their companies called me. One of the representatives to me that other customer called in a few days ago with the same problem. I was scammed and I should have know better. The next day I had the two cards cancelled and will be adding fraud alert messages to the three major credit bureaus. On August 1st, the calls started again but this time the Indian sounding male had a different name and phone number and left messages at my work voice mail and cell phone voice mail. One message left at my office number and 8 messages on my cell phone. This time I called an attorney friend who advised me to find out as much information on the company. When the man did get to me, he did not seemed as well versed as the 1st one that called me. He seemed shaken that I had so many questions, but I took control of the conversation told him to send me any legal documents on this case. He started yelling at me then I hung up. Today, the same male who called both my work no and home no several times using a different name but I can tell it was the same person and called from a different number. I need help getting out of this mess. The calls came from 614-873-6460, 516-986-5464, 516-858-1140 x225, 951-582-4833 and the fax number that I was given was 202-403-3771. The men used the following names, Alex, officer Chris Williams, Officer Chris Jones. The company names used were Cashnet, FDBI, FCS, Cyber Crime Unit, and Bureau of Criminal Investigations. I terrified at this point. What should I do next? How can I get these calls to stop?
