Received several calls to my work from someone with a heavy accent claiming to be from 'American Legal Services.'
He said his name was John Miller, and he was extremely rude. When I said I couldn't understand him, he started yelling at me, hung up and called back, being even more rude. I was told I was being sued from a company called American Cash Advance, a company I've never heard of. I googled it and found nothing. I asked him for the contact info for this supposed company, and he gave me his number, repeatedly. Whenever I asked him for something, he would just say the name of his company, his number, and tell me I was in big trouble and better get a lawyer or pay him $700 right now. I told him I'd look into it and call him back.
When you call the number, it rings like a regular phone and more ppl with thick accents answer and are very rude when you ask for a supervisor. I told him that until he answered my questions, I was going to harass them like they said they would to me. Then I told him since he was calling my work phone, everything was recorded, and I'd sue them. He hung up and I haven't heard back since.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
HAHA those people called my best friend and she was scared thought it was true didnt know what it was thought she was really getting arrested so we called everyone banks her loan company credit card companys no one had a problem so i knew it was a scam my mother got on the phone told them how it was pretty much and to F**** them self and she knew it was a scam and she said leave her "daughter" alone and the guy said Ill f*** your daughter ... i got on the phone we messed with this guy all night i knew they wernt no law firm it wasnt funny at first but they wernt scaming us ..
I am dealing with the same problem now. These people are blowing my my phone for my mom, I told them to kiss my a** and leave my mother alone. Thery calling from India but it is either a unavailable number or a 559 or 510 area, trying to act like they are in California. They are dumb, sorry no Indian person would have the name of Allen Marshall. What a scam! They are triggering elderly people who are falling for it though, it is sad.
Please be assured that these calls are not from the law firm American Legal Services, PC based in Washington, DC. According to law enforcement, the people who are calling with this scam are not in the United States at all. There is an investigation underway, and we intend to fully prosecute these criminals for using our name.
Having the same problem with this company. I informed them that I contacted their so called "client" Cash Net USA, and was asked to contact their Compliance Dept if I get any information. This ### proceeded to tell me that he had my file and I was going to have to pay the $300.00 and their client had the right to take $1, ooo.00 from my account. And my social security number has been blacklisted. These people have been harassing me off and on for months now and the police have yet to sow up at my door. I certainly hope that something is done very soon to apprehend these felons, the humor of harassing them back is starting to wear off. They become so frustrated that by the time I finish talking, I really cannot not understand them. If you get a number or any information pass it on to CashNet USA @ [protected]. From now on I'll be listening and asking more questions and still not providing any answers...
On 1/31/2011 at around 6pm, a man called me claiming his name was Officer Scott Mason calling for Money Cash Advance. He then called me names, cussed and threatened to arrest me the next day if I did not pay him $843.00 for a supposedly a $400 online loan he claims I applied for out online. He knew my social security number, address, full name, email address and last place of employment and said if I didn't pay him the company was going sue me and I would have to pay over $2000 in court charges. Then he had me write down his phone number to call him back which is [protected] and said I had to fax him something in writing stating that I authorize the debit in the amount of $843 from a prepaid card or credit card towards my outstanding amount and I ensure the payment won't get declined and I won't dispute this payment along with the date the money will be sent, the card information, exp date, CVV#, billing address, my signature, and attached photo id and to fax to [protected]. I have since contacted my local police department and filed a report with BBBonline, the FBI, consumer reports online, social security dept., and posted a message to every scam site I could find on the internet.
And since I have received at least 2 emails from individuals stating that the same thing or similar has happened to them. See below:

On 2/8/2011 same situation occurred:
Caller claims there is a lawsuit filed against my name and social security #, threatened to black list my social security and file court documents under my name and social security #. Said his name was Alex Scott, his phone number is [protected] but on my caller ID it shows [protected] Syracuse, New York. I immediately phoned the police for whom I previously filed a police report with and added to the report. In addition, I contacted the FTC as well and reported it too.
