CASH NET MARKETING Sonic Cashnet Bank SCAM - Cash Net Marketing, Sonic Cash Net Bank Internet

   It has become clear from numerous reports of this scam, that the scammers have come into posession of a large amount of personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, references, bank acct. numbers and social security numbers.   Most of those reporting the scam indicate that at some time in the past, they filled out an online loan application.    My guess is that these scammers have obtained (most likely illegally) a large database of this personal info.  

  While these particular scammers are only using the info to try to make themselves appear to be a legitimate collector, that does not mean they couldn't sell the info to some other criminal when they are done with it.    The amount of information they are revealing on these phone calls is enough to allow anyone to steal your identity.

  If you've received one of these scam calls, you should consider your identity to be at risk.   I highly recommend going to the FTC's identity theft website and taking the precautions outlined there :

I too have  been harrassed by this company's tactics.  A person with an Indian Dialect contacted me and stated he was with Fraud and Investigation and that I owed over a $1,000 to a company that he represents.  He indicated that he was not here to collect any funds from me, but to have this issue resolved.  He then proceeded to read me some statement that was obvious he was reading a script and not very well at it.  He said if I did not resolve this matter at once then I will be, as he stated, "In big trouble".  I laughed at that because it sounded so juvenile. He then stated that he is willing to settle for $850, but I needed to send him a fax giving him the rights to withdraw money from my account.  He even asked me to write word for word what he wanted to state in the fax.  I knew something was up then since he would not send me a letter with the information needed to be completed.  Also, he did indicate he was not here to collect any funds and yet he wanted access to my checking account.  I blew him off and he called back a few days later wanting to know why I didn't send him the fax.  I told him that I would prefer to work with the company directly who is claiming I owed money to.  He immediately got defensive and said that the company does not want to talk with me and that is why he is being hired.  I told him that unless he gives me the name of the company and the number to contact them, I was not going to do anything.  He got real mad and said that he would see me in court.  That was about a month ago.  Never heard a thing either in writing or phone call.  Now I'm hearing back from him again, under a different name, but his voice is recognizable.  They really picked the wrong person if they think they can intimidate me.  I know my rights and he they have a legal matter that I need to address, they will send you a certified letter in the mail.  This is not a matter that will be done over the phone through harrassments.
