I got a voicemail this morning with a very threatening sounding message. The caller said he was Austin Jones with the Department of Law and Investigation and that I needed to return his call because there was a serious legal case against me and that if I failed to call him back I would be facing serious consequences. So, of course, I called him back where he proceeded to tell me about the case number and said I had gotten a check loan from cash n less which was an internet company so I was facing, check fraud, internet fraud and some other things. The biggest problem with his statement is that I never actually went through with the loan. I had, in the past week, looked into a loan but didn't end up taking it. I of course got mad and shouted at him, the loan never went thru and if they saw fit to go ahead and sue and that I would be contacting my attorney and hung up. After reading comments on here I am glad I did. He says he is out of Houston, Texas and his phone number comes up on caller ID as 0000 but they give a legit phone number of 713-797-2036. If you call it he actually answers so I hope someone can catch this crook now.

THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD INFORMATION. THEY CALLED ME AND HAD MY SOCIAL, DATE OF BIRTH, ADDRESS, ECT. THEY SAID I OWED CASHNET $400 FOR A PAYDAY LOAN THAT WAS NOT PAID AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SUE ME. (oops sorry for all caps). They said I was going to be charged with 3 counts of fraud and that I needed to pay or get a lawyer. They would not send me copies of any debt information that they had. I told them I don't have any debt, especially any payday loan debt and he called me a liar. So I hung up and called CASHNET. I have no account with them and they said they have been getting tons of calls about this and that this is being investigated by the FBI and BBB. I called the company back and tried to play nice with the guy to get more information on him. I asked him where I could send payment to or if I could Western Union it so I would not be sued...He said NO, they only take debit/credit or prepaid cards. I then told him where to go. I am going to file a police report HE said his name was Austin George and that he worked for Jones Law Firm in Houston...
