I have received the same phone calls from "Travis Walker" who claims to work for the BS law firm of First State Attorney Firm in Los Angeles. Mine started on Monday 8/01/2011. The 951 area phone number is in Corona CA ~~ which is Riverside County. I too was told that I had taken out a loan from 1 of the Many company's under the Parent Company ADVANCE CASH USA (Does Not Exsist). He could Not tell me which one since they work for the "parent company",nor could he give me a date other than May 2011. He gave me the Seattle WA number of 206-299-3728 number which I was told to Fax information of a pre-paid card from the with $745.33 to settle the account. If I did Not do that, the Sherrif would come to my work to arrest me for Fraud on Friday (8/05/2011). When I asked his why my work and not my home, he stated because I used my work as collateral and the sherrif would talk to my payroll department personally to get the $2000+ out of my next check if I did not settle for the $700 amount. When asked why they needed a pre-paid card and not a check or debit/credit number, he stated that it was for my protection. When I told him that I had looked up the information he gave me & it was ALL coming up SCAM,he told me that it was not their fault that THEY had been a victim of Fraud!! Not only was I Not arrested yesterday, but they had the nerve to call me yesterday late afternoon regarding a "time sensative manner" and attempted to call me this morning 4 times back to back (I hit ignore on the calls). I contacted and made a report to the FTC. They shared that these scammers have been around for a couple of years, they Always claim to have people arrested on Friday's, that they change their number approximately once a month, and that if ignored they will move on to a new "victim" soon. Hang in there Everyone.... :-)
