UNITED LEGAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT Sam Nelson call me at work - Threatened Federal Charges - 3 for outstanding Loan 2007 Iowa

Sam Nelson has been trying to me at work for the past several weeks. I thought he might be a recruiter. When he finally reached me today, he told me that he was with the United Legal Investigation Department and said that this was a Federally regulated line and that he needed to complete his statement before I would be able to agree or disagree. He said that he was contacting me because of a warrant for my arrest and that I had 3 federal charges pending because of an unpaid loan. The total amount was $7563.00, that is if I wanted to go to court. If I didn't want to go to court, then I could pay $1250.00.

I asked what this was from and he said that the company was ACS and I had a payday loan in the amount of $595 but that was all the information he could give out. I knew that I had had pay day loans in that year, so I thought I must not have paid one of them. I asked why I didn't receive any notice of an outstanding bill. He said that they chose to go directly to the courts to obtain their money back.

He had my personal account information, the last 4 digits of my social and asked if I wanted to take care of this out of court. I said that I did not want this to go to court. I said I could pay $500 and would be able to pay the rest of the next few weeks. I called my husband and told him about this - he said to go ahead and get this taken care of.

I just feel like such an idiot. I faxed them confirmation of our conversation and the amounts agreed upon with my debit card.

Prior to the call I wasn't able to do searches on my computer. After the call I did a search about this company - found out it was a scam. Immediately called my bank, cancelled my debit card and contacted the company again. I spoke to a man that said that he was a senior supervisor and that Sam Nelson was not available. I said that I needed to speak with him now. He said that he was not and asked what I wished to speak with him about. I said that I wanted my money. He said that Sam was the only one that could handle my case and that I would need to speak with him directly.

I said that I would hold until he was available. The man said that that was not possible. I said well, you're a senior supervisor - you should be able to help me. He said what is it that is your problem. I said that I want my money back - you're running a fraudulent practice and stealing money from people. He said ma'am - do not call this number again, you are a criminal and the wrath of God will come upon you because of what you've done and he hung up. I called the 2nd number I was given and the same man answered. He said that I was harassing them and that if I continued to call this number, he would have me arrested.
