I received a call today from an Alex Brown. With the combination of the very noisy background noise, and his thick Middle Eastern accent, it was tough to understand him. First, Alex called my cell, and I did not answer, then he called my work. After later looking at my phone, I realized I had a new voicemail from (308) 872-9039:
Hello, this message is intended for (Personal Information Removed), the very second you receive this message, I need you or your attorney to give me a call. Be sure this is very time sensitive. My name is Alex Brown, don't disregard this message. Now, Anna if you ignore the call or I don't hear from your attorney, the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as trouble unfolds on you"
After listening to the voice mail, I called back the number curious as to what 'fate was to unfold upon me.' Alex answered and was very assertive with me. He explained to me, as he read the affidavit that I tried to apply for numerous payday loans and I failed to comply and pay the application fees, resulting in over $700 in damages on my end, and in turn, the company, American Cash, was indeed pressing charges against me for conspiracy to steal from them. I knew at that moment that this was such a scam. But, I continued to listen to Mr. Brown. He then transferred me to attorney, Travis Hall from Lynch and Patterson Law Firm in Nebraska. Travis, who happened to sound nearly identical to Alex told me that I will have by the end of today, a criminal case against me that he would be forced to send to the authorities. He also said if I did not pay the full $800 + other out of court fees, police would come to my house (he listed my place of residence) or to my work (he listed my work address) and incarcerate me.
At this point, I played victim, told him I had to make a call to get the money, and I then contacted a lawyer (who laughed at how pathetic the situation was), the police station (all 3 detectives I spoke to also laughed at how insane this case was), and called to make an appointment to get my nails done. ;)
After about an hour, I called back, and asked for Travis' credentials for my records, then told him I would like to counter sue him for lying to me and for threatening and harassing me. He told me to "never call him again, and if I thought he was a fake, that I will see what happens on Tuesday"

Please do not fall for these guys! They didn't get what they wanted from me, but I do have to admit, they had me going for about 4 seconds. They will do and say whatever they have to do just to get a few bucks out of us! Despite their failed attempt to get money from me, this is still an issue, not only do they have my house and work address, they also read off to me my SSN. These people are foul, and now I have to really monitor the (Inappropriate Content Removed) out of my credit.
