I recently received a call from a number that left a message saying they were from my local sheriffs department (and mentioned the name of the county in the voicemail) and that they had received some cases that they wanted to talk to me about . They gave me a number and referred me to "the lawyer handling my cases Sharon Mcdade". I was at work when I got the voicemail and checked it on my break. I then googled that number to see if it Came up a scam. But indeed it came up as my local sheriffs office. So I called that number. The "lawyer" Sharon Mcdade who told me I had 2 cases were that were pending felony warrants for my arrest under the "bad check law" and that I could go to prison for a long time if I didn't pay them off today".
I asked her what they were for and she said 2 payday loans that had accrued interest and the total was over $3,600!!!! I was terrified! I knew I had gotten sucked into the payday loan hole for about a year some years ago and couldn't remember if I paid them all off. I have never been to jail and immediately panicked calling all my family to see if they could help (all within a 15 min break and an hour lunch because I was at a new job and couldn't take off) my family barely scrapped up the money . My dad even took a $2,500 loan out with their bank to help me because I was pressuring them to see if they could help get the money together by the 5pm deadline the "attorney" gave me. She was very professional and really had me believing I was going to be convincted of a felony.
Once I paid the debt over the phone the attorney emailed me a signature page stating I was paying off a payday loan with cash net for that amount. So I signed. Thinking I was paying off a legitimate debt. Well that next night as I was laying in bed taking time to think about it, I did some research. Internet searches, called the phone number and guess what !?! a completely different person on the voicemail! Now I am completely devestated! I have to pay my parents loan payment of $257.00 a month for a year and have to pay my sister back $1,100.00. I cannot believe I fell for the scam. So now I have filed a police report and pursing a criminal charges as well as filing a report with the BBB. My parents have the account number that withdrew the money. I don't know how far I will get trying to get my money back but it has been a HORRIBLE experience.
This so called collection agency called me threatening legal action, claiming I would be charged with check fraud for not paying back a payday loan, scared me to death, I made a stupid decision to pay, giving my debit card info, they got me for 200.00 upfront, claimed I owed 4000.00, but some how it was reduced to 1500.00. It didn't feel right I called my baba I and tried to cancel the 200.00 debit it was already deducted but the money was paid out in Florida. I notified my bank tot the fraud. They cancelled my card and are investigating so I can getting my 200.00 back. I hope these people were caught. What goes around comes around. Beware of these crooks.
