These jerks called my aunt repeatedly on her cell phone and at work, scaring the crap out of her, threatening to have her sued and even arrested. Said they represent the Dept. of Financial Fraud Investigation, which does not exist. Said she owed them over $900 but would settle for $300 if she sent them the money via GreenDotMoneyPack before 3pm. Said they work for Cash Advance America. Looked up their info online, but of course, could find none because they aren't a legit business or government entity. So I started doing some harassing of my own. I called the number private (*67) and a jerk answered by saying, "Hello." Not, "Hello, thank you for calling XYZ company. This is jerk speaking. How can I help you?" Just, "Hello." I told them I wanted to send them a payment. Said I needed their address. Said I also wanted their business license #. Of course, they would provide neither. Told them I was reporting them to the Federal Trade Commission. Guy told me I had no proof they were scammers. Told him I'd been recording the phone call from the beginning. He hung up. I continued to call back repeatedly from the blocked number. Couldn't get anyone on the phone after that. Cash Advance America website warns against this exact thing. Wants consumers to report this crap using the following phone number 888-310-4238 and by calling local law enforcement as well. Consumer beware!
