Beware Cash Net Calls
From sparow64 16 years agoIngredients
- Hey Everyone, shopping list
- Today I recieved a call at work, right at time to go, from a lady with very broken English, who said that I had an important legal matter that I needed to take care of, she would be receiving the file "tomorrow" and my sherffi's dept. would act on in "the next day, Friday"...(well, first of all, the next day would be Saturday, but I digress). I told her I was at work, and I would need to return her call, she said she would expect me to call immediately after work, and if I did not she could only wish me good luck with my case. She gave me a call back number of 310-362-9386 shopping list
- Being the paranoid internet detective that I am, I stayed a few minutes and googled that number. Pulled up a blog that this was a scam, people are receiving calls lthat they took out a loan from "cash net" in May, 2008 which they never repaid, and are being told they are going to be arrested if they don't pay it back now, etc. etc. Of course, none of these people ever took out a loan from cash net. shopping list
- So, when I got in the car to come home, I had a missed call from 941-961-8518 same lady, same message. "Jennifer". SO...I came home and googled that number. OMG...the blog is copied below. These people apparently DON'T stop. They call people at work multiple times a day, etc. etc. And, have all their personal info. shopping list
- SO...to have a little fun, I called them back. It was just like they describe in the blog. LOTS of noise. Same phrasing of threats. Kept trying to get me to verify my employer, address and phone. They had it right, but, I didn't verify. I just kept asking questions, saying that I didn't know what they were talking about, etc. They finally said that i had a loan taken out through cash net in May 2008. I told them that was not true, that I had seen online that this phone number was associated with a scam trying to collect loans that never were for cash net, and they hung up on me. shopping list
- They had my bank name right, but, what they don't know is that I use an online bank, and, cannot do loans that require an automatic debit. I am the only one that can approve an online debit and set up the transaction. shopping list
- There are multiple numbers associated with this scam. (Bryan and I both keep getting calls from a number about our car warrantly expiring, and neither of us have a warranty! Saw it covered on the Today Show this morning, and even Matt Lauer and the other hosts are getting THOSE calls!). Anyway, when you have time, read the blog below. Please see if any of the unknown numbers you may not answer are listed. shopping list
- It says if you receive a call from this group to report to multiple agencies, FBI, FTC, Local Police, Attorney General, etc. etc. And, the contacts are listed. I am also reporting to the legal dept at work since they called me there. shopping list
- Sorry for the longwinded email, but, this is NOT right. And, the only way to stop it is to report it when it happens to us, and, to make others aware. shopping list
- SO, if you ignore unknown numbers like most of us do, please take a minute to check your caller id log, and read the attached blog. They may have YOUR info, too!!! OR they may have a friend's info if not yours, please pass along. shopping list
- THANKS! shopping list

FYI, and perhaps usefully... Years ago I had a problem with a really harassing and vulgar caller. I contacted the police and gave them permission to trace our calls. The officer I spoke with was lovely and suggested I keep a whistle with me and the...more
