I received a phone call from a Anthony Chase on 3/27/2013 stating that he is with the law office of Watkins & Associates. He then proceeded to tell me that he had received an Affidavit in my name. He also read my social security number to me and wanted to know if I was the person he was trying to find. I was very hesitant but replied, yes. This Anthony Chase then asked me in a really rude tone of voice if I knew why he was calling. I replied, No. He then proceeded to tell me that I had taken a paycheck advance loan from some company that I had never heard of. He then told me he was going to recorded our conversation because he had to ask me a question. The question he proceeded to then ask me was "Do you check your emails?" I replied of course I do, when I have the time, why? He stated to me that this payday loan company(which I have never heard of and/or used at anytime in my life) had been sending me emails in regards to the $300 dollars which I had borrowed from them sometime in 2012. The more I questioned him the more unprofessional he became towards me. I was so upset I was crying. He told me he was going to contact my place of employment and that he was having a warrant issued for my arrest and that I had better get my bank statements put together and I could fight this out in court. I tried to contact him today 4/1/2013. He answered the phone and I asked him what was the law firms name was that he was with and where they were located at. Then I proceeded to say, you contacted me a couple of days ago and I wanted to gather some more information from him in regards to the phone call. He hung up on me. I tried to repeatedly call the office number back and it kept going straight into his voice mail. After the 4th time I left a message for him to return my call. Does anyone one know if this Mr. Chase is a fraud. I am wondering if my identity has been stolen. I have checked all my bank statements and I have never, ever had a 300 deposit put into my account (like most people, I think I would be aware of an extra 300 dollars but I had to check any how to make for sure) If anyone has any information they could pass on to me in regards to this I would love to know. I am going to get in contact with the Better Business Bureau as well.
