DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING AND DO NOT LET THEM BULLY YOU!!!!
Today I came to work only to find that a Jake Hopper had talked to everyone there already and needed me to urgently call him back at 360-515-2952 from Legal Accounts Associates. He told me I was being sued by All State Insurance because of Advance Payday Plus. So I frantically called him and requested paperwork and who I owed money because I never received money from this company. I had my bank account closed and switched last September because after taking one payday loan (which I paid in full and have a receipt) a lot of electronic debits were coming out for different websites and memberships.
Once I switched bank accounts, the problem stopped and I would get the occasional email thanking me for my order with various amounts but within a week of those emails I would get a phone call saying because I didn't pay for my order I couldn't be a member and they would try to get financial information from me but I always chose to cancel. Jake Hopper wasn't available when I called but Allen Smith was and he told me I owed $358 and I could pay that before 5pm today or go to court and if I won I'd have to pay their legal fees of $4000 and if I lost I'd have to pay them $4358. They told me to cantact Ron at Advance Payday Plus 951-215-4155. Ron kept telling me I needed to decide because it was out of his hands. I found this forum and it said to contact:
US Secret Service
1-989-497-0580 - They have an open and ongoing investigation on these people.
I did and they were happy to accept my phone call. Either someone is working on the inside stealing information or they hacked the payday loan system. The Secret Service ADVISED ME NOT TO PAY ANYTHING AND TO JUST HANG UP AND THEY'LL STOP CALLING AND NOT TO GIVE IN TO THEIR THREATS. These companies are the ones breaking the laws, we are just victims of identity theft. They try to feed off the fear of us by making meaningless threats, which we take seriously (law suits, huge amounts of money compared to a smaller amount, being arrested, talking to our bosses, etc.). THEY ARE BLUFFING AND YOU NEED TO CALL THE SECRET SERVICE!
