On Jul 8 2011 I received an email from this Jerry Smith attorney at law threatening me with a $10000 fine and Jail time if I do not send him $1000 right away to settle a $350 payday loan which may have happened over 6 years ago I honestly dont know.I know I may owe alot of money and have outstanding debts but that does not reach in no way is it considered criminal.Infact I have never been arrested for anything.Now I am 76 years old and for the last 12 years have been looking after my bed ridden wife and living on ssi and a small disability pension from the VA.We live below the poverty line and receive state help which is a god send for my wife.Sadly last night after my wife read the email from Jerry Smith she took a turn for the worst and might not recover this time as she believes I am going to jail as we do not have the $1000 to settle this problem.I served 6 years active service and had alot of good friends die protecting the very freedom that is being taken away from me.I never knew that the us government was a collection agency for some marketing company in the Bahamas
and will throw me in jail if I do not pay up immediately.Surely there must be some law protecting us old veterans from undue harassment from collection lawyers like Jerry Smith Attorney at law.

Call The Cops

They are praying upon you because you are elderly and trust me nothing is going to happen to you.
But, I know it upset you and your wife.
Just ignore the letter.. he can blow smoke all he wants, if he was serious, he would have already sued you.
He knows you are on fixed incomes and he knows if he sues you he will get nothing.
Don't even answer the letter.
If they continue call either the cops or your local Dept. of Adult Services and get to these Elder Abuse unit.
Also, call whatever state this guy is in and file a complaint with that Bar Association against him.

SCAM ATTEMPT!

I am agreeing with Ken from Greeley, pay no heed to this so called attorney.
One giveaway is the internet address "usaattorneyoffice@gmail.com".
It might as well be Yahoo or Hotmail, it's still reeks of scam.
This is one HUGE red flag. Actual real official addresses have their own domain.
If the calls persist, ask for (demand) a confirmation of the debt, in writing.
Request dates and location when this loan was made.
Dollars to donuts, this "attorney" won't try to answer, but present more strong arm tactics.
Last I heard, no one can be placed in jail for debts, real or imagined.
Go take care of your wife and put this behind you.

Get some help from legal aid or a family member...this "Jerry Smith" is a fraud and is trying to extort money from you. Don't do ANYTHING until you get someone to help you.
"Jerry Smith" probably has a middle-eastern accent, I'd bet. He's not a lawyer either.
