American Legal Services review: harrassing calls, fraud 43

I was also contacted by those people this morning, the call came from an unknown number but they left this number on my voicemail [protected], i called back and i got this indian guy over the phone claiming his name was Kevin Jackson, i knew then this whole thing was scam, but i guess i had some time to waste i kept on talking to him, and he said i owed money to some payday loan company and they were gonna arrest me, they even had my SSN on file, I got tough with him so he called names and hung up the phone, so i did my research online and the bottom line is THIS IS A SCAM, MOST LIKELY OUT OF INDIA...DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION !

These people have been calling me for 3 months now. Every few days the same thick Indian ( mid eastern) accent from a man. He has made claims of "take everything you own if you do not call me back, we're are with the FBI, we are with an legal firm, we have your social security number" ect. ect. Every time they call the number on my ID is different however the return call numbers are the same. The most frequently used is the [protected]. Does any one know if we can do anything in the states as far as fraud investigation? These people are very persistent, rude, and unfortunately getting better at reading their pre- written scripts.
BE WARE FRAUDULENT CALL!

I have also been receiving calls very simialr to this that have been very harrassing. Mine are coming from a

John Anderson and Kevin Thompson
[protected]

Two very American names but very thick Indian accents. The way the calls connect the background is very loud like a callcenter and sounds like the call is coming in from off shore. They also are telling me I owe $300 for a cash advance. Also threatening me that I am going to be arrested and have to go to a jury trial and the total fees I owe them NOW is $745.97.

When I asked Mr. Thompson to provide me documents the calls have stopped. We for today that is compared to constant calls to my cell phone every 5 minutes at times.

I have made a report to the ND BBB. I will post another comment if I hear more.

On August 26, I also recieved a call from a man with a thick accent. The call was for my daughter this person said that he was from American Legal he used the name James and his supervisor was Simon Ross . This person went on to say he had sex pictures of my daughter and he was going to upload these pictures on "YOU TUBE" if I didn't pay him $10, 000. This person went on to say that if I didn't get the money to him in 3days something bad would happen. This man gave me my address, and told me in three days that I would die. He asked me if I think I could keep the police around my daughter for 3 days to keep them from kidnapping her. This person went on to say that he was going to kill me and have his friends tortue my daughter. My family and I have been up for days because of this threat. This man went on to say that he was a terrorist and made some accusation about our President. This has been a very scary situation for myself and my family. This man and his entire organization need to be jailed.

Ok well it is almost 3:15 pm Central time and the calls have started again from "John Miller". I did answer the first one and I advised him that they are the ones that are going to need the attorney as I have reported them to the better business bureau. He said yeah ok as he was stalling ~ I am sure there wasnt something on his script on how to respond to that. He has repeated to call back 6 times then stopped ~ we will see how the rest of the day goes. Good luck to all dealing with these jerks.

These people called my cell phone, then a minute later called my work number. It came up unknown so I didnt answer the call. They then called back and was routed to someone else to transferred them to me, this time leaving a voicemail stating they need to hear from me or my attorney that this is a time sensitive issue and not to disregard it. The number I was given to call was [protected]. I have been getting number calls from these Indian accent people saying I owe on payday loans I defaulted on which is crap. These people need to be stopped asap. They have nothing better to do than harass people for money and make false threats. How do these people find out so much personal information about you? It is really scary.

I was contacted yesterday by an man with a middle eastern accent as well. He left a very rude and threatening message on my work phone. Making claims that I was going to jail and he would see to it that I loose my job by sending paper work saying I am a criminal to my company. I was very upset and he would not tell me anything as to why he was calling. He was clearly reading from a script. I called the number [protected] that he left for me to call. He answered and began reading from a script once again. I was at work when I called so I had to stop him after about 3 minutes of reading from this script. I let him know I am at work and do not have time for him to read to me so could he please let me know what this was about. He would tell me what it was about and then said I have all these of options but never once would tell me what options and options for what. I saved both of these messages on my voice mail. If this is some type of bill collector I really don't think that gives them the right to make threats and my job is my life so threatening my job to me is this company making a threat on my life. Does any one know if I can press charges on this company? I was unable to sleep last night in fear that some crazed person or persons are trying to destroy my life and this is scary and I don't know if this guy is some kind of terrorist.

I have been getting calls from the same people for months. THis time it is John Miller from American Legal Services representing American Cash Advance. A couple of months ago they stated they for calling from the Office of Law Investgation. Neither of the companies they say I owe money exist. They are always rude and threatening

I have been getting calls from the same people now some lady Angela Anderson about a payday loan which I never got. Does anyone know of a way we can get rid of these preppie or file charges.

I sent an email to the Police Department where I live and an officer called me back. I explained to him what was going on and I even showed him this comment board ~ he said really there is nothing we can do. I have not gotten any more calls all weekend or any yet today so I am hoping I made them angry when I told them I reported them to the BBB and to my State Attorney General. The officer told me to ignore the calls and delete the messages as there is nothing they can do because they are probably out of the US. I had a co-worker who is from the middle east and speaks many languages listen to the voicemail I was left ~ it was not in English ~ and he said it sounded like a Northern India language but he didn't know what was being said.

Good luck all ~

Just wanted to offer up this tidbit of information regarding people claiming that ALS is 'offshores'

Hope this helps.

I have contacted the FBi and the State Attorney Generals Office. If you would like to join a class action suit please email me. I have contacted a attorney and he has agreed to file suit if we can get 5-10 people to agree. We need to close this company down now. Here is my email so please please join in this suit. It will not cost you anything.

This may be redundant but a James Davis from a law firm called me this morning. Again.. heavy thick Idian accent. He said I owe money which isnt unusual for me because I am in debt with people and have an ex husband that stole my identity to take out accounts... so i thought this was just one other thing i owe:) But when he got rude when i explained the situation and tried to refer him to my lawyer he said "your identity is your own responsibility" and i hung up. He called back saying that he needed to speak with my supervisor. I told him if h was going to take legal action you wouldnt go through her. I asked him for his phone number and name. Once i heard his name was "James Davis" I though this was a scam or he was giving me a fake name. I said"is this a real name?" silence...again i asked: silence... "hello?" i yelled and he said "mind your own business!" i then hung up. He persisted on calling 3 more times which i ignored. About an hour later he had called my supervisor who was wondering what was going on? Now my job is prob in jeopardy or it atleast looks unprofessional. I looked them up and found all of these responses to confirm that this is a scam. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE! i believe they got my info because i filled out a shady form on line for a payday loan. BIG MISTAKE!

Our office just recieved calls from a man claiming to be Daniel White with American Leagal Services. He was looking for a former employee and would not accept our answer when we informed him that this person no longer works for our agency. He repeatedly called our office over and over, one call after another saying we were lying, that he knew this person was there. After over 20 calls we finaly called our local police station as well as our phone company. They gave us a proceedure to instigate a phone trace. If the calls start coming again, each time a call comes in we hang up, punch in a few numbers (with integra it's *57) and begin a trace. I would recommend to anyone being harrassed by these calls to call your service provider and get the proceedure for tracing calls. After several traces have been placed, you can call your local police department and report that the traces have been instigated and then they can finally do something on their end. If enough people start doing this process maybe we can put a stop to their actions.

i am getting the same calls from a guy name calvin collin and andy brown they said that the fbi was after me . i was really scared because of the fact i have kids and i never been in trouble. so i sent them 300. after the stock came over me i started to investigate and i did not owe that money i also fax them a letter stating that i was going to pay them back big mistake. I spoke with a law and he told me to stand up to them. I think if we stop being afraid of them they will stop the feed on fear.

Yes i have had recived a phone a call again from calvin Calins and angela caliming that i owe them mony from loan that i took out about month ago, but this not the first this happened i call from a eddie smith from the same number about a montha ago said the same thing my question how these's people get all of o ur information that just gets me mad,

I just received the second call in about a month with the same background as everyone else. Instead, I was told that I was used as a reference by a friend of mine and that I needed to pass along the information to my friend so she can contact the company. For the sake of this comment lets just call my friend Sally. The caller had a thick Indian accent and stated that his name is "Daniel White". He said he was calling from American Legal Services, which is a law firm with the phone # [protected]. When I asked where his company was located he gave me the address of 600 Union Ave, Fairfield CA 94234. He explained that Sally was issued an affidavit from Cash Advance USA and that she owed Cash Advance money. He went on to say that if there was no action taken in reference to the "fraud" committed by Sally against Cash Advance USA they would issue a subpoena to both Sally and myself, which would require us to appear in court. Funny thing is as soon as I began asking questions "Daniel" became more impatient and antsy during the call. I was concerned for a moment, but once I googled "American legal services" and found this link I didnt bother worrying about it. Clearly, this is a SCAM. My only hang up is that they have my name and number. I don't know how they collected that information, but it is a bit scary. I suggest that everyone find out how to trace the call with your carrier and report the incident to the police if the calls persist. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION!

I received a call from this company ealier this week. When I did not answer my cell phone. They called my employer! They said they were calling from The State Department of Legal Credit Union. They told me I owed money to a payday loan company called Cash NetAdvance USA. They told me I was being charged for fraud, violation of legal laws and Theft by deception. He told me I owed $498.72 for a loan I took out in November 2009 and asked that I fax over to him a statement pretty much saying I wanted to take care of this and to include me card number with all in the information even the CVV code on the back. So I already knew this was fake. I called up this Cash Net USA company and the lady I spoke to said these guys are scammers that have been calling around and not to give them any info. So when i called back and told this guys they weren't getting anything they said well ok then we will go with legal action. I said go right ahead.

So this morning I get a call from American Legal Services, from a Mr. Simon Ross. He then transfers me to Calvin Collins, an attorney. He procedes to tell me that I owe $355.20 and that I needed to get back to him by the end of the day or it would become legal record on my credit file. He also tole me the loan was taken out 3 months ago, which was false. So I got as much of his info as I could and googled "American Legal Services" then I found this link. So I called the guy back and said I needed supporting documents for my attorney, he got quiet and said well I will mail them to you and I said well what a second, if this is so urgent why cant you fax them to me and he got real angry and short and said, I'll send them to your employer, and he hung up on me.

Both of the people from these "companies" were males indians with thick accents. The numbers they used were [protected] and [protected]

A few weeks ago I received a call from a [protected], I did not answer as I was at work. The message was a man with a strong indian accent, could barely understand what he was saying. So, I called back to find out what this was regarding, as he made it sound urgent in the message. He knew my number I was calling from before I even told him, and proceeded to explain that he needed my attorney's information. I asked him what he was talking about and let him know I had no idea what he was talking about. He proceeded to say he would read from the affadavit, but I was not to interuppt him while he was speaking, so I let him speak. He explained that CashNet USA had filed charges of checking account fraud against me as well as 2 or 3 other charges. Then stated or asked if I had ever been taken in custody, I was unsure if he was asking or what. SO, he asked again I explained to him I was not sure what he was asking and he stated that I if I interuppted him again he would disconnect the call and forward my case to investigation. I tried to explain to him that he was difficult to understand and was asking if he was trying to ask me if I had ever been arrested. He proceeded to tell me that if I did not be quiet and listen he would forward my case to investigation and they would be coming to take me into custody. I let him know he could not just call me and threaten to take me into custody - or arrest me. He ended up stating I left him no choice and hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to his supervisor, he stated he was the supervisor. I let him know that everyone has a boss and I wanted to speak to his boss, he stated he was the only person there and no one was above him. So I let him know about himself, informing him that CashNet had no right to file charges against me as, they were the ones removing money from my account after their authorization was revoked legally and if this was legite and they wanted to proceed I would also take further action. I continued to let him know that unless he was an officer of the court he nor anyone he was sending could not come take me into custody! I had called my fiance and let him, so he also got the number and called "Robert Brown" (the name he used as well as another which I can not think of) and tried also to get some answers, he was very rude and continuelly told my fiance to shut up.
I truely cannot believe that people can get away with this kind of stuff. We have to find a way to put a stop to this.

OMG! the same thing happened to me today as well. His name was Mr. Abrams phone# [protected]. Indian accent as well. I have posted his info up on facebook as well. crazy world we live in that this can go on for this long! someone needs to do something about these people and fast.

same thing happened to me "Mr. Abraham"...[protected]. something needs to be done ...now!

I have received many many phone calls on my cell and to my employer from this same man/company. He is threating me and also called my mother and harrassed her regarding money I "owe" him from a loan. That I never made. He claims he is going to come to my house and sit me down. He will not send me any info and when asked he gets rude and tells me again I will be arrested soon. The man who has been the main person is James, I think he said his last name was Pollock. The same Indian accent and number that everyone else has been saying. If anyone knows how to get in on a law suit for harrasment let me know please...

I have also received these calls, only my guys name is Michael, no last name. The number they called from was [protected]. The calls started about 4 months ago. I asked for supporting documentations which you can guess they were unwilling to provide. They threatened to take me to court. When I said "See you there" the calls stopped for a while, until today. This guy had an accent I'm not sure if it was middle eastern or Asian, sounded more Asian. He said that I owed money to Advance America which I don't. If anyone knows how we can put these people out of business, PLEASE SHARE. I have enough stress inm y life, I don't need to be dealing with these idiots.

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.

everything i have read on this subject is " ditto, ditto, ditto!" Even when I tell these people I know they're a scam they just keep insisting that I do everything that everyone else has been told to do! How do we make them stop? They have all of my info! This has been going on for me off and on for almost a year!

So I have been getting a crazy amount of unknown number calls to my cell since 11/24/10. Today is 12/03/10. Sometimes a number would come up with an unfamiliar area code so I waited for someone to leave a message, other times it was just unknown. The calls that showed a number are as follows, [protected], [protected](not an error, the number was not complete), [protected], [protected], +[protected](notice this is just the international number for the 646 area code), [protected], [protected], [protected], [protected], and [protected]. Today someone finally left a message as I was out to lunch from work. He said his name was MICHAEL FULLER and that I had to call back, this is extremely time sensitive and if I do not call back then ramifications would fall on me and he blessed me. The caller ID said unknown but he left the number of [protected]. When I got back from lunch there as a unknown call but the exact same message was left(I do not know why I didnt think it was a script then). I called the number back it ran then went to voicemail like a cell. I then called again and it went stright to VM like a cell phone, (no business name for message stating where I was calling) After getting worried for nothing I finally called and got a KEVIN THOMPSON, he played attorney while he said that Michael was his paralegal, both the VM and this person have a heavy middle-eastern accent and it could have been the same person for all I know. I then explained the message and he asked for my name of phone number where I received the call so he could look up my acct. I gave him my cell then he very quickly said okay "name" and proceed to explain that he was calling from AMERICAN LEGAL SERVICES and that I was being sued and that I was under FBI investigation. I then freaked out (I'm only 20, lol). He asked if I have ever been told about my current very serious situation and he said "oh boy this is bad" when I told him no. He then correctly verified the last 4 of my social to " make sure it was the right person"He asked me if I could have my lawyer call and if I cannot afford one one would be appointed to me, I told him I need to know why and what was going on first. The then asked me permission to read the affidavit to inform me of the situation. I said ok then he explained that I should not interrupt him and when he is finished he will answer all questions that I have. I said okay then he stated rambling about how I got a cah advance online, told me my e-mail, then mention check fraud and another "offence". He went on saying it involved WASHINGTON MUTUAL whom I do not have an acct with and then I was in a 0 Tolerance state, and that this would have a sever impact on my credit as he was reporting to all three bureaus. He told me that court fees alone I would be charged $8, 950 and he verified my whole social, my current address even though I moved back in July and my employer and my husband's name along with my best friend's name. He started saying that the "Creditor-CASH ADVANCE" could have him inform my employer of my criminal activites and have me fired. He mentioned some case number and stated I violated Section 9, Chapter 19(In that order, not chapter then section) He also said something about cyber crime. He then went on to ask me reminding me that the call was recorded and would be used against or for me in the court of law so I should not lie, if I have ever been arrested for criminal acitvity, this, that and the third. It was then my turn for questions and I asked what the supposed owed amount was. He said after late fees, interest, blah blah blah the total was $786.27 if I wished to settle. I asked what the inital ""loan" was and he said $300. (why it didn't strike me that the FBI would not waste there time with that amount, I dunno). He then said that I untimately had two options. I could take it to trail but I cannot lose or the ramifications would be extremely severe for my offence or I can have a restitution out of court. Settle for the $786.27 and get a clerance letter. He then asked me which I planned to do. I told him that I believe he has incorrect info I would have to do my own research and speak to my bank. He then said fine, and that he was sending letters to my job and will take me to court because it is not his job to dispute about the information because he has all my information and 12 or 17(I forgot) pieces of proof then hung up on me. I then freaked eventhough I had many bright red flags and called a lawyer firm. I explained to them briefly what happened and the lady there knew right off the bat that this was not right. I told the sweetheart I was speaking to the name of their firm. She then told me to search google and I found this page. She did say however that it I get anything in the mail in writing to come see her. Hope I helped and if anyone knows how to stop these fools. I am in. I haven't gotten a call back yet and they usually call 20 times a day ranging from 07am EST to 11:30pm EST. I will update if anything new pops up if not then this means the disappeared.

look up California Law group on this site there is a list of other names they use. They seem to know when your pay days are and call a few days after _ I dropped my Rapidcard - HRBlock card and changed my number if they get the new one I am going after my carrier. they are getting information from some where besides internet I think it an inside job - I have informed the FBI in OHio, Ohio & california AG - BBB- FCC - FTC - these SOBs are rude and bunch of a-holes- I called back with unknown and they said that they need my number to verify who they where talking to when asked what type of agency uses phone number to verify clients he hung up. BEWARE - I HEARD IN THE BACK GROUND them telling people to send monies now or else. I also saved my messages that they left. I reverse phone on them and it comes for cali city cal. Inians or koreans also some jamacian guy and a lady named crystal

ok so now im apart of this, I was contacted by a man with a heavy indian, mid eastern accent. He claimed his named was calvin colins. He stated that i had a payday loan from 5 to 6 months ago that i got online (in which i havent ever), and that if i didnt pay 300.00, he would take to me court. Kept telling me i am getting arrested. He knew my name, bank information, my moms name, etc.. as was said in the first comment.. what do i do?

its a scam I notified the FBI in my city and she told me to keep my voice mail I also contact FTC FCC these guys are jerks. she also said just hang up - I have been going through this site these guys are busy beavers - they don;t scar easy cuz they know they can't get caught. I have threaten them now I just hang up if they cannot provide written proof its not legal and they get smart with u when u ask. if enough people stand up to them they get the message. just make sure to put a credit alret on your credit - check your accounts. like I mentioned I changed all my stuff and put an alert on it. DO NOT GIVE THEM AY MONEY!

Just recieved the same threatening voice mails, three within 24 hours. Heavy Indian accent, the number is out of New York, New York [protected]. So, it seems the number has changed but the scam has not. They told me that if I did not call back by the end of today they would take legal action.

This is crazy. I have experienced the SAME thing as all of you. I got a call from a man with a heavy indian accent, this time named "Mike", from AMERICAN LEGAL SERVICES. I've worked for several years in law offices and am familiar with proceedures when you are sued, etc. As soon as this man said there was a legal action against me I notified him that he was to not call my work again and to send me a letter or have me served. He asked for my cell number and I repeatedly told him to send me a letter or serve me with the court documents. He refused so I hung up. He continuned to call back several times (at least 5). I put my phone on Do Not Disturb. I believe he tried calling my cell twice before calling my work. A red flag when reading this...I have a payday loan (to which I am current) with CASHNET ADVANCE. I read that in another post on here and that may be the connection, for me at least. I will be following up with reporting them, though I realize without record of the calls or voice mails I may not get far. KEEP TRYING TO STOP THESE PEOPLE. This is ridiculous.

I too have been receiving phone calls from this place. Phone number they gave to call back was [protected] New York now. He said his name was John Conner with a thick Indian accent. I thought the name was ridiculous made me think of the Terminator movies... Anyway, after he left threatening voicemail message at my work phone, saying he hoped nothing "happened to me", I decided to call him back. When I asked who he represented, and refused to give him the phone number that he had called me on, why would he need that? He hung up on me. So being me...I called him right back. LOL He was surprised I guess. He then went into the whole song and dance that everyone else is talking about, All the same nonsense that he said to others was the same about the payday loan and the company Cash Advance. I told him that I had not done business with them. I also told him that I was reading about him at that moment on this website, and others that are investigating them as scammers. He got a bit testy then, and I also informed him that I was speaking to him on a recorded phone line, which I was, it is my work phone and they are all recorded. That really made hime mad, and he got all loud then saying ok...ok...what do you want to know now! I said in a calm voice...I am ending this call as you are a scammer and I will be reporting this to the States Attorney General Office. He yelled something about "oh no your not, your not ending this call... I said "yes I am ", and I hung up. Now I have to wait and see what happens next. I wish someone would post as to if they ever really attempt to send papers to your employer.

I just spoke with Frank Jefferson at American Legal Services. Heavy Indian accent saying that I owe $760.36 to Cash Advance USA the parent company for a payday loan or legal action would be taken. When I asked for the name of a specific company or which website I had gone through, he said that he does not have that kind of information and that there was no way for him to get it from his client. Like everyone else on the site, he had my name, address, phone number, employer, social security number, etc.

I have also been getting calls from these jerks. Same thick Indian accent and this person's name was Danny something. Really? Danny? People in India use the name Danny? I was informed that they had my Social Security Number and that I owed them for a payday loan. The message they left today said that if I did not respond I would be taken to court. I called them back and told them that I didn't have a job. He said if you don't have a job then go to court. We will see what happens now. How can we get these people punished for this?

I received two phone calls, messages both times, from someone claiming to be an Officer Jason Fletcher, the number I was told to call back was [protected], which was a direct line to his 'divison'. He had a thick Indian accent, I couldn't understand what 'company' because the call kept cutting in and out, but it was about a 'legal matter' and that if I did not return the call then, like a post above by 'Unhappy in this world' I would have to deal with the ramifications that befell me, or so the message on my phone said.They also attempted to call me at work; I did not take the call but my supervisor did and even told me it was likely a scam. I do have some payday loans out there, but NONE through Cash Advance USA. or Cash Net Advance, or Cash Net USA. I double checked the names of the companies I do have loans with, but neither of these are it. I think I have filled out an application for Cash Net, and I have used the local Cash Advance (or Check 'n Cash USA) in the past, but haven't within the past year, but it sounds like that is how they would have gotten a hold of my information. I attempted to call back, was told 'all circuits are busy'. When I called the number without the '1' for long distance, I was connected to a number, was told call could be monitored, but was told that there was no one there by that name. We will see if I hear from him again, and I plan to tell those I work with if he calls my work again, tell him I don't work there anymore!

I have received threats and phone calls at my job and they even cussed out my Director and Asst. Director. They have been calling my job for 2 days straight making threats to hit my Asst. director if they don't give me the phone or i don't contact them. She said he said where is that Fking ###... I called and asked to speak with John Miller and some person tried to pretend to be his legal couldn't understand the rest. I told him no i want to speak with John Miller he supossedly put him on the phone couldn't tell since they sound like the same person. I told him to stop calling my job and making threats he was like ma'am I've called many customers today who are you I wouldn't give him my name . I just told him that he knows who I am and to stop calling. He hung up in my face. This Jerks need to be stopped . I'm getting very annoyed

received a call last week from Kelvin Collins the number is [protected]. I reported them and also looked where they lived. I had someone call them and they hung up on them as well. They are middle eastern and very rude. He said this would effect my job, I just laughed. I knew I didn't have any loans out there. They are in VictorVille, CA. I searched their landline. I also got in contact with general Attorney. Also on monday I'm calling VictorVille police Because they have very important information. I hear they get all your information threw your bank accounts. This is just ###, It's time for someone to step up and get these people! The more information I get the more I can press charges so If your willing to send their number and a name they gave you and your first name to my email I can write this all down and give it to them. I just wanna put these people in jail. jessyishere2003@yahoo.com
Please put American Legal Services in topic. Thanks! Please dont give me any personal information.. Just a 1st name and the information about them and the call and threats! Thanks! Merry Christmas! :)

I received the same phone call yesterday and they also left a voicemail. Her name was Megan and I don't remember his name but both with heavy Indian accents. I didn't believe any of it because when I went to question the man he hung up and never called back. Here's the number he called from [protected]

I received the same calls, 5 in a row, at my work. As the number comes up as all zeros, I did not answer the call. Same middle eastern accent, a lot of background noise, threatening to sue me and arrest me. Pretty much yelling into the phone, he ended the call with "goodbye and good luck preparing for your upcoming legal battle" I have no intention of answering their calls or returning their calls, I have no idea who they are. They did not identify themselves with any particular company and the return number they left was [protected]. I just filed a complaint with the FTC, I strongly urge everyone to do the same: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

Surprise surprise! Tax time is here again and so are the scammers of the "wonderful" law offices of American Legal Services. When I got the call, I was told that I was going to need a great attorney and that I was being fined for check fraud against Cash Advance USA. When he asked for my card number and the CVV, I told him a twelve digit number. lol. Then, I called them back and he got snippy with me and I told him I would find him and bring my friends with me. For one, in the state of Virginia, it is illegal for active duty military to take a payday loan out of any company except for Omni Financial and Pioneer Services. So, right from the beginning I knew he was lying to me. He said his name was Kevin Thompson. Wow Kevin, you sound very Indian to me. lol
