I received a similar call last night at my work. They claimed that I was having criminal charges brought against me due to not paying on a payday loan. I have one payday loan that I know I am current on because they automatically withdraw money from my account every 2 weeks! I asked who was filing charges against me and this guy says that it is a blanket company called America Cash and that they cover many smaller companies. This guy also had a very thick foreign accent and claimed that his name is Shawn White. He tried telling me that unless I paid all the money that was owed right then, that he would have the California Sheriff's Department waiting at my job and home this morning waiting to take me in for 7-8 days for investigation until I could be brought in front of a judge. First of all, I don't live in California!!! The phone number that this guy called from is a cell phone through Verizon! I told my co-worker about it and after he got home from work, he called me with his friend on speaker phone and confirmed it was a scam! The same thing happened to his friend's girlfriend. He knew ever detail about the call, right down to the caller's name, and I never told my co-worker that! This guy has got to be stopped somehow!
