325-500-4781

Received an email from someone named Steve Hawkins with Holland & Hart Law Firm, stating that I will be prosecuted in court for a loan that I did not pay. However, the loan company name is one that I am not familiar with. Also, I Googled the law firm, there was no location with the telephone (325-500-4781)number that was included in the email as a means of contact. I plan on contacting the Attorney General in my area.... And if you receive any calls or emails from this number, I suggest that you do the same....

Resivi un correo de este abogado y nunca respondió ni el teléfono ni el correo

Yup the nerve of some people. Hell i am going to prosecute this guy.

This is a copy of the email received from these scammers! Minus all my personal information that they have. This is scary because they have my email phone number address and social security number! I have never in my life received a loan for the company they are stating. The email is below.

Let me introduce myself. I am a Senior Attorney Steve Hawkins from Holland & Hart Law Associates. As we were trying to reach you since a couple of days regarding a very serious matter about a lawsuit filed on your name stating that you are doing some fraud and Civil litigations.

I am really very sorry to say you that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within couple of days. Your SSN is put on hold by US Government, so before something goes wrong I thought that I shall call you and notify you about this matter. But as I was not able to reach you I am sending you a final notification Email. So please take a piece of paper and write down your case file ca#83723 and second thing since it’s a legal matter you will be needed my help, so please write down my callback number is (325) 500 4781 Ext 192 For the records you.

The Factual Basis for the complaints is as follows:-

Violation of Federal Banking Regulation.
Collateral Cheque Fraud.
Theft by Deception.

The Legal Affidavit States that CATHERINE ROGERS Was Monitored online Using the Email Address: ( e.g: rogersc2@outlook.com) In Order To Solicited Funds From a Website which is Own and Operated By American Cash Advance. The Funds Were Successfully Transferred Into Your Bank, Utilizing an interstate EFT ( That stands for Electronic Funds Transfer ) But at The Time Of repayment When the Clients Attempted To Extract The Funds Back there were 6 EFT's Returned Constituting Worthless Electronic Cheque, So As of Now Rather Than Chasing You For Money They Have Simply Decided to write This money as a loss and deemed to be stolen As well as press charges against you in your state under your social security number.

Now this legal affidavit has been taken care by FDCPA Law Fair Debt Collection Practice Act Chapter: 9 Section: 19

This means just two things for you.

1) If You are on any state Supervised probation on pay roll , you will need to top contact the officer about this case and make themaware about this case.

2) If You have any prior Conviction Including But Not Limited To Worthless Cheques, Grand Theft, or money Laundering Please Make it a note that the attorney General of your state would handle this case as that of an habitual offender , as your state is strictly zero tolerance state.

This is also to inform you that my clients that are your creditor have got all the rights and legal authorities to inform your current employer about what you have done in the past and what shall be the results and the consequences once this case would be downloaded which might lead to termination.

Finally You do have a right to an attorney if you don't have one or you cannot afford one, One Shall be appointed to you But Please make sure You Have Someone To help you out regarding this case, because once this case would be executed and if you lose the case against the jury then the legal charges which would be levied upon you would be $11958 – this amount would be excluding your attorney charges your bail charges and the outstanding amount you owe to the clients.

If you need some further information please call us back on our number.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

Yeah i just got an email from that same guy what was scary as that he had social, address, telephone number,and i thought i ont have no business with thiscompany never have.

Still got that email address?

I received a call and email from a friend frantic about the email she received from Mr. Hawkins which is just like the one above.  I called him as her attorney and left a vm but of course he never returned my call.  Mr. Hawkins called her today and she instruced him to speak with me as her attorney but of course he refused.  Well, I called today and introduced myself as her attorney and asked for the information regarding the suit.  He told me check the courthouse and immediately hung up.  I have tried to call him several times again but my calls from that number are going directly to vm so I called from a different number.  I apologized for our calling being disconnected and asked where did they file the suit because it was not filed in her county of residence.  Needless to say the response to my question was a dial tone.  He is now sending calls from that number directly to voicemail as well.  So I left a very nice, nasty voicemail as her attorney.  We will see if she gets any more calls.  Lol  I hate scammers trying to abuse innocent people that don't know or understand the law.  

I received the same email and just found it in my spam too.  Who is this?   What are they talking about?  I've never had any loan that they mentioned!!!!

Relax, they're scammers.  You can safely ignore their ridiculous email.  However, if they have your personal information, like SSN and DOB, you may want to contact your bank(s) and at least one of the three credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) and have them place fraud alerts on all your accounts.  Also look into getting identity theft protection.

I got an email from the same guy Steve Hawakins. Says he is from Hoffaman Legal Group. Said the same thing in the email that he got that everyone else has on here. The number he gave us is 440) 709 6191 Ext 195 . The place is a scam and I am going to be filing with the Federal Attorney in my area and the FBI .


If you feel you have been the victim of a loan scam please contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357) or online at www.ftc.gov; or contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855) 411-CFPB or online at www.consumerfinance.gov. Because the scammers have access to bank account information and social security numbers, victims should consider themselves victims of identity theft and take appropriate precautions. The Federal Trade Commission has information for victims of identity theft available online at www.ftc.gov.

If you feel you have been the victim of a loan scam involving the Internet please contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center online at www.ic3.gov.

If you feel you have been the victim of a loan scam and are concerned about your personal financial information, contact your banking institution, and the three major credit bureaus.

I got the same email. Also got a phone call and a message of the same sort. I too am concerned about my personal info, but they just say they have it. They don't confirm that by providing it. They say I will arrested.

This very same thing happened to me . Any luck in finding out who or what they are about ?

I received a similar email just now.  Of course it's a scam.  First, legal notices are not filed by email.  Second, the email I received was sent to me and 49 other people. Third, the grammar is terrible.  Fourth, some of the spelling is not American spelling ("cheque" instead of "check"). And fifth, the FTC doesn't sue consumers for alleged non-payment of debt.
