These people called my work - indian accent - Affidavit Legal Services. Ive received calls from these scammers in the past but not for a month or so, since my employer got on the phone with them and told them to quit calling or he would have them involved in a suit. Seems that they are now switching to this new number.

I received a phone call from this number saying they are the department of Detection of financial fraud and before they take action against me they want to talk to  me.  It has to do with payday advance company which I never received money from

THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or extort personal info.

I've received a call from this number, the guy identified hisself as Shawn Williams, and became very agressive and threatening when i informed him that i knew it was a scam. He threatened me with the cops and with bodily harm. I have reported this to the Attorney Generals office, The State police and have filed a complaint with the FCC. He is trying to get my personally information. DO NOT GIVE INFORMATTION TO THIS NUMBER IT IS A FRAUD!!!!

Rude, nasty and unprofessional. Threatened to take me to jail and called my job over and over again telling people I had commited a fraud.Told them not to call me at work and they continued to hang up and call over and over again for several hours. I have no idea who these people are. This is the second number they called from. They would not send me any information in the mail or tell me where this bill/debt is supposed to be from. Dont give them any information this is a scam.

I just received a call while at work stating pretty much the same as above that they had 3 charges to file against me on fraud and they were out of California.  The guy who said his name was Jeff could barely speak english and the phone line was cutting in and out.  The scary part is that he knew my name the name of the bank and part of my social.  I never received money from CashAdvance who he was stating I got money from...  He was very abrupt about when to call him back and left the 409-242-0581 to call him back.

My daughter got a call from these people today and they threatened to come to her house. They also called her place of business. She filed a report with the local police dept. as they had her full SS # and someone rang her bell at 10:30 last evening non stop. I urge you all to file a report with your local police and if any of you are worried about identity theft, please contact the fraud dept of the credit bureaus immediately to protect yourselves.

so you think if this happened to me i should contact someone about identity fraud?

Well let me give you a new number they are calling from, 282-726-2524 and Indian accent person's name was David Zayas from Detection for Financial Fraud Department.  Same story, telling me they had an affidavit about a $400 loan given to me from Cash Advance, an online company.  He wanted me to verify my information, and i told him I wasn't giving my social security to him, I didn't know who he was.  He read off my bank account number which was correct but what he didn't know is I've already closed that account.  He could not give me an affidavit number or case number from the Court, but gave me the number to Cash Advance Legal Dept. 508-313-2173.  When I called that number, the Indian speaking man was rude and tried to get threatening when I told him something fraudulent is going on.  I asked about the $400 loan and when was it deposited into my account.  I told him I have my bank statements and there is not any deposit made into my acct.  I told him I was having my attorney look into the matter and that I have proof no loan was ever given to me by them.  And since it is an online Cash Advance business, they would have had to deposit the money into my account.  He told me he would see me in court and hung up in my face.  I called back and he hung up again and had the nerve to say if I didn't stop calling, he was going to press charges against me for harassment.  I told him I was the victim and if he didn't stop calling my numbers, cell, home and job, I was going to call the police on him and file charges against them.  I called David Zayas back at 282-726-2524 and guess what, the number could not be completed as dial.  This is some scary [***].  Be aware!  I do feel better knowing I'm not the only one they have targeted.

July 20, 2011

I have been getting calls from number, 282-726-2524, a company called Detection for Financial Fraud Department, stating they were calling me in regards to an affidavit supposedly filed against me.  They went on to say I’d gotten a pay advance loan Cash Advance loan for $400.  When I told him I’ve not gotten a loan from this company, I asked when was this loan given to me and if it was an online cash advance, then the money would be deposited into my account.  He gave me my bank acct no. 1010243622360 which is correct, and the loan was distributed to my account in May, 2011.  I told him my bank statements does not show a $400 deposit from Cash Advance at all and that something was fraudulent about what he was accusing me of.  I asked him for the affidavit # and he stated there was not a number.  When I ask him for the Court this claim is coming out of, he stated it hadn’t been filed through the courts yet.  This is the information he released:
His name:  David Zayas
Company who is making accusations against me:  Cash Advance, an online company
Case ID:  JL150720937, coming from Cash Advance Legal Dept.
Number of Cash Advance:  508-313-2173, the Legal Dept.

He read off my name, address, work number, cell number, home number, bank account number, and wanted me to verify my social security number and I refused.  He was informed that I was contacting an attorney to investigate this matter and was going to press charges against them if they continue to harass me at home, on my cell and on my job with calls.

After speaking with him, I called the Cash Advance Legal Dept at 508-313-2173 and when I asked to speak to someone in regards to $400 loan they had given to me, the man stated he is the only one I can speak too.  I told him they had never given me a loan and that my monthly statements does not show any deposit made into my account of the amount and during any of the months, specifically the month of May.  And if they were an online loan company, they would have had to direct deposit the money into my account and I have proof they did not.  I requested for him to send me the paper work so I could have my attorney to investigate this matter, he stated he would see me in court and hung up in my face.  When I called him back and asked why did he hang up, he repeated I would get the papers when we go to court and hung up again.  But he told me not to call back or he was going to file harassment charges against me.  I told him, I was the victim and I was trying to get to the bottom of this so call loan they suppose to have given me and I wanted to clear it up so they would stop calling and harassing me.  I called back and someone else answered and I ask for the legal dept and he hung up.  I called back four more times and each time, they hung up the phone.

Then I called back the initial number, 282-726-2524 to speak with David Zayas who had given me this information and a recorder came on that stated:  can not be completed as dial and then said CA15GN.

All of these telephone conversations took place on July 20, 2011, between 9:01am to 9:15am.
