I got a voicemail from a man with a heavy accent and a super noisy background claiming that I needed to call him right away and not disregard the message or else I would be sorry. I was caught off guard and confused because I don't have any legal issues. So when I get upstairs to my office, my co-worker tells me I got a call from the same person, John Goodwin, at # 213-550-4189. I called back and could hardly hear him because of the noise in the background. He asked me what # did I receive the call to and I told him they called me at my job and cell so I didn't know what to tell him. I could hardly hear anything so he said he would call me back from another phone. When he did call back, the # was different, it was 941-961-8518. So he starts to go through all this legal jib jab about how I am being charged with 3 different counts of fraud and how I borrowed money from CashNet and had it cleared through my bank account. I told him to stop himself right there becuase he immediately accused me of commiting such a crime. He asked that I contact my ratined attorney because someone would come for me at my home or job. He mentioned the last four digits of my SS#, my home address and my Yahoo email. He asked that I not interrupt him while he read a "legal" statement as it was being recorded by the "courts". So I asked him what court had this case so I could go and take care of it and he told me to get my retained lawyer to settle out of court and when I said I wanted to go to court because I had nothing to hide, he didn't know what court I was supposed to report to. Long story short, this is very horrible. They threaten you and accuse you of commiting a crime you know you didn't do and then they can't even show legitimate proof for it. I will be contacting news stations to report this and hopefully not too many more people will be threatened by these criminals.
