Phone call from this person saying she was looking for my husband, gave me a name that was not my husband.  Said she was an investigator, when I asked what agency, she kept putting me off.  Finally admitted she was with a private agency looking for someone that if I didn't giver her information about, I was hiding him and I would b e an accessory.

I also got a call from this lady.  She told me she was a private investigator and that she was working for "advanced america."  She was calling me to let me know that she was going to have me picked up do to my late payments to Advanced America.  I explained that I had been making $20 a month payments to this company so I did not understand why she was calling me now.  She told me that they no longer wanted my $20 and that I had to make a $624 payment to her by 2pm that day.  If I did not make that payment that day she was going to have the Sheriffs Dept. pick me up by the next day.  She wanted me to send the money Western Union via person to person.  The manager at the Winn Dixie told me she did not feel comfortable sending the money for me because it sounded like a scam!  So she refused to send it and she gave me Western Union's phone # to check on this investigator.  Western Union told me not to send the money to her unless she told me the name of her company!  So I did not send the money Western Union.  I am so worried that I may have made the wrong choice by paying her with my debit card by phone, but I did not want to go to jail! :~/

I got a call from this number today, insisting that I wire her money unless I will be picked up my the sheriff, also.  She said irt had something to do with Internet fraud.  She would not give me the name of the agency she was working for. I did not send any money because I don't know who she is and I have not received any written information concerning the matter.

It's pretty sad at the levels they will go through to collect money from innocent people. I received a message from this investigator by the name of Lily. She left a very DETAILED message on my WORK line about, fraud, jail and sherriff.  You know I was pissed. Little did she know I have collections back ground and a certifed credit analyst. I let them have it. Mis representing themselves, threatening jail, verbally abusive. I also told her not to EVER call me at work again. I cited they are All in violation of CA Collection Laws. She mumbled something and politely hung up...haha...Please keep in mind you cannot be jailed for oweing a debt to a creditor unless a judge has specified. You can be jailed if you owe the IRS. If you get a call like this again, ask them to send you the information in writing.

We all need to get an attorney and do a class action lawsuit and stop them from this madness.
