 I received a call from a guy saying he was Officer Alex Williams with a strong accent. He told me I was being sued for a payday loan from CashNet back in August 2009. He began to verify my ssn#, address, items on my credit report. As he was talking to me, saying he was in a room full of attorneys, I was looking at my bank acct as he was talking and saw no payday loans going into my account from cashnet. I asked him for the company's info, he told me he did not have it and that the company refused to talk to me.


Mr. Williams then began to threaten me with jail, attorney fees, court and that he was sending someone to my home to investigate. I told Mr. Williams to do what he feels and not to call me anymore or I will be calling the FBI to report his fraudulent activity. I decided to google his company's name and found several complaints on the Rip-Off report with the same company name, accent and similar last name matches.

Crooks have your identity details.

AUTHOR: Flynrider - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, April 13, 2010

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 :
