This number was harassing me for a while. They got my information from an online loan I applied for and was denied. They claimed I hit and killed someone with my car and were suing me for 20,000. I don't drive. The license number they had was for my State ID card. When I explained this to the man he asked why I was driving around without a license. Again I explained I wasn't. He threatened to have me arrested unless I had my lawyer called him, or that I could resolve the situation by paying his company a fee. THIS IS A SCAM. I can't stress it enough people. If there is ever a warrant for your arrest it will come in the mail, not by phone.

They called me again a few days later claiming I had taken out a bunch of loans and never paid them back. The company name kept changing from Payday to US Cash Advance. I told them I was never approved for a loan and had bank statements to prove it, but they just got really nasty and threatened to take me to court. Every time it was an Indian man with a thick accent going by names such as Alex Watson and John Smith. He would leave voice-mails demanding my attorney call him and 'wishing me well as the financial obligation unfolds'.

Now, I called the police in my town and an officer called back this number pretending to be me. She asked a lot of questions and eventually the man got angry and told her to 'open your ears and pay attention' because there was a warrant (from the police in my town) out for my arrest unless I paid him 500. She laughed and revealed herself as an officer and he hung up. After that she called back a few times from several different numbers and they sent her to an answering machine.
This is very important, THESE PEOPLE HAVE YOUR INFORMATION. If you've been contacted by them you need to call one of the credit bureaus and have a fraud alert put up right away. It amazes me, the extent these guys will go to to convince people to pay them. Hopefully if enough people are warned about this and don't get pulled in by these scams, they'll be shut down for good.
