(904) 335-8127

Hi a***n everyone.  I wanted to let you all know that I contacted the local post office for that district of West Palm Springs, Florida (after I did a very thorough search last night for both the "Legal Department Of Crime Prevention" and "The Law Office of Robert Sheriff" to no avail including typing in the address on Google Maps and Street View).  The closest I got was 302, 304 & 301 North Olive Avenue (All courthouses and government buildings).  The local post office told me that there is no such address.  That's probably why this so called Mr. Mike Thomas and his alter ego Mr. Johnny Lee kept insisting that I make some kind of electronic payment.  So, tomorrow morning I'm going to contact the US Postmaster to see if a complaint or criminal action can be taken for giving out a false address and I'm also going to be contacting the Office of the Attorney General in both Florida and my own local jurisdication.  I'm also going to try and do a thorough search on the BBB website as well.Just a thought, when I was sear****g for these so called companies/firms, the local sheriff's name kept coming up, which by chance is Robert....hmmmm.

Hello, I too have been receiving these calls at my place of employment and on my cell phone. I have opened up a police report with my local authorities as well as contacted my corporate security team ( I work for a major cell phone carrier). When I spoke with this Johnny Lee guy he tried to force me to pay him and when I said "Just sue me than" he s****ed yelling at me and ***g up. They have now called my fiancee as well. I have also filed a report with the FCC and the FTC as well as made tips to the FBI as well.

I have been receiving calls from 904-758-8511, 904-335-8127 and several other numbers all saying that they're from the legal dpt. of crime prevention in west palm springs, fla. trying to extort money from me.  the guy says his name is Mike Thomas and Johnny Lee (same person) from the law office of robert sheriff.  I cannot find this law office anywhere.  Mr. Thomas says I have to appear in court and yet I've not received any type of court papers of any kind including summons or anything.  He's been threatening me several times a day and even calling a friend of mine.  He keeps threatening to tell all of my co-workers about a loan that I haven't paid back (which I did), call my boss and get me fired, and on and on.  They've gotten so much money from my bank account to the point that my account had such a negative balance to the point that my account has now been closed.  I have asked this guy to stop calling me and if he's so legit, then send me do***entation, but he continues to refuse and continues to harrass me.  This guy must be stopped.  Please let me know what you need from me.

Hi there to everyone out there that has recieved this same call.  I thought I was by myself and I've been sear****g all over the internet to find these fraudulent people.  the guy says his name is Mike Thomas from the legal dpt. of crime prevention, that I was in serious trouble, that I would have to appear in court, he would get my fired from my job, call all of my co-workers and tell them about this very serious matter.  when I asked for the information, he told me that he wasn't going to give me anything.  He keeps saying that there is a case a***nst me in palm springs, fla., but I called the clerks office there and there is no case a***nst me.  He first said I owed $900.00, then when I refused to give him bank account information, he said it would cost me $30,000.0 (that's right....$30K).  He said that the police were coming to arrest me, I would get served at my job and he's was going to make sure that he embarrased me and on and on and on.  I haven't received anything yet.  When I asked to speak with a supervisor, he put me on hold and then came back and said that "this is Johnny Lee..."  (same voice with a very heavy middle eastern accent).  this has been going on for weeks now.  I'm filing a complaint for defamation of character, harrassment and fraud.  If there is anyone else out there who's filed a complaint please let me know.  Also, I tried to find this address of 307 North Olive Street on google maps and I cannot find it.

These business is going in india in many states. They are collecting funds from the U.S. people and force them to make a payment. They do hve a script as below...This is ============ and i have you listed as the primary suspect on a case file which is going to be downloaded in your county court for further legal actions. The nature of my call is to ascertain your attorney's information so tht i can be able to fax the affidavits to your attorney before file ing the case a***nst you...They give three false allegations . They do hve to information of the people of US with SSN, ADDRESS, BANK name and ACC, PHN NO, WORK NO, AND REFERENCE NUMBER. I kindly request you all to stop paying the payments cause u hve no loans pending and they are earning in ru***s... India is great and one of the best country but there are some people who are doing this to earn a lots of money and the US payday loan sites should stop giving "LEADS" (they are giving personal informations of the people in india who are applying for the loan in united states so in india it is easy to earn money sitting and dialing and collecting money from U.S. people) to india.

Several months ago, I received an email stating that I qualified for a cash advance between $500 - $1500.00 dollars.  To process my request, I simply needed to fill out a short loan application, in which I was asked to disclose my banking information, place of work, work phone #, and contact information of two acquaintances.  The email appeared to be a legitimate offer, and in need of funds I submitted the information.  I was then 'matched' with several lenders, all of whom seemed less then reputable, with preposterous interest rates in excess of 700%.  I declined all offers, closed my web browser, and quickly forgot the matter.  Monday, May 23rd,  my supervisor at work received a call stating that a 'Mr. Soto' had contacted her looking for me to resolve a urgent matter of 'crime prevention'.  The phone # left was 904-335-8127.  A google search linked this phone number to cashadvanceusa.com, one of the very lenders I suspect my personal information was given.  My friend Erich ------, also received a message from a 'Mike'  calling from the same phone #. My friend, listened to the message and wrote down the entire piece of correspondence word for word.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Oh yes Hi Erich ------- this is Mike from the legal dept of crime prevention.And this is a message trying to contact one of your friends Russell Youmans.Hi Russell this is Mike from the legal Dept of Crime Prevention.I was trying to reach you in regards to a very serious matter.I have a case file in which you are a primary suspect.There are three serious allegations a***nst you.I want you to call me back urgent at 904-335-8127--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The following day, Tuesday, May 24th, I received a phone call from an ‘unknown’ number and spoke to an individual who identified himself as Mike from the Department of Crime Prevention at 304 North Olive Ave, West Palm Beach FL  33402.  Mike stated that he contacted both my place of work, and a personal acquaintance of mine, Erich Peterson in an attempt to resolve a serious matter in which I was a primary suspect.  Mike then explained that he was calling on behalf of Paydayloans.com, in an attempt to collect an outstanding balance, owed by me, in the amount of $300.00.  When asked to provide more information regarding the alleged debt, Mike stated that in August 2010, I received a loan of $300.00 from paydayloans.com and after making payments of $89.00 every two weeks for several months, stopped making payments in December of 2010.  Mike then stated that unless I appeared in West Palm Beach FL, on Friday, June 3rd with a lawyer, a judgment in the matter would be decided a***nst me.  During the course of my conversation with Mike, I was alarmed that he knew several pieces of sensitive information pertaining to my iden***y, such as: my address, employer and work number, bank account number, and drivers license number.  Mike told me that I could receive more information regarding my loan if I called 786-533-3031 and spoke to Paydayloan agent Johnny Lee at ext 1001.  Mike stated that I would receive a court order in the mail on Wednesday, May  25th.  When I asked for the phone number and address to the courthouse, Mike stated that all of this information would be provided in the court order and then abruptly ***g up.  As of June 1st, no court order or other piece of correspondence regarding the matter has arrived.  The allegations that I owe a debt to this lender are false.  The allegations that I am party to some type of crime is defamation of character and harassment.  This internet ‘business’ needs to be investigated and shut down.  I have enclosed a copy of my August 2010 Bank of America, checking account summary with this statement.  Also included are the various phone numbers used by this individual(s) to contact me.1.    (904) 335-81272.    (975) 908-78143.    (750) 015 98787

I recievced a call from Mr Johnny lee and had lots of threats and paid them the money  they say I owed and now i dont know what to do to get it bnack. any help?????

They don't leave a message or say anything.

I have also received a phone call from this number from a man who called hisself David.  I told David not to call this number anymore as he was not looking for me but my little brother.  I told him that I was his mother and I asked them not to call my home yes****ay and they needed to contact my son then to send correspondence through the mail.  I asked him to give me my son's social security number and he blurted out a number of which I am not sure belongs to my brother so I wrote it down and I am now making a complaint with the FTC, Federal Trade Commision.  Please register your complaint with the FTC and or your State Attorney General Office.  Their number can be found in the blue pages section of your local telephone book or you can check their website @ www.naag.org.  You should also check with one of the three credit bureaus www.equifax.com, www.experian.com or www.transunion.com  These types of predators should be locked up they are really messing up people lives.  Iden***y theft is on the rise and because of my profession which I will not disclose it is very high in the State of Florida.  You can also contact the Social Security Administration @ 800-772-1213 or the website @ www.ssa.gov regarding iden***y theft and your social security number.  If you don't file income tax returns check with the IRS to make sure no one is using your social security number to collect refunds under your number @ 800-829-1040 or check the website @ www.irs.gov keyword search iden***y theft and check out publication 4535 which will just expand on the above information I just typed.  I don't know how many people check this page out so if you can copy and paste and send this to everyone you know.

i just got a call from a officer johnny lee. he told me was looking for a friend of mine who had me down as a reference for a previos payday loan acct. he scared me up telling me to give her this number with ext 658 and to reach them immediatley because they are looking for her and there was an arrest warrent out for her. the crazy thing is that the company name is cash usa, which she actually used about 6 yrs ago, but it was paid off. she also got this same call 3 mon ago saying they were coming to her job to pick her up if she didnt pay $300 owed. very upset she went home looking thru everything for her old reciept showing it was paid, called the company told them about the harrassing calls. the real CASH USA sent her a letter showing her $0 bal and that to disregard any calls from that # because it was proved to a scam from a company who pulled info over the internet, and the info they have on them has been forwarded to the local police agency! i called them back and told them i wanted to speak to the manager/supervisor, i never dialed the ext yet it was same voice from the previous phone call. he asked for my name i said no put a manager on. he said he was the manager and gave me his name i then gave him the number he called me on and asked him to remove it and i have forwarded his info to my local police dept. he had the nerve to tell me THIS IS NO BUSINESS W/U I WANTED U TO GIVE THE MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIEND, **** THE PHONE UP AND GET LOST!!!

All messages need to be reported to the Attorney General office in your state so they can trace them and pick them up.This is fraud and should be stoped.

A Middle Eastern male voice tells me that he is with The Law Office of Crime Prevention and there has been a case file a***nst me filed. He needs for me to call him asap. He leaves these voice mail daily for weeks. He never states who it is that has filed this case. I have been getting these since December. There is always a middle eastern man and he never gives me the correct information and makes threats of jail if I do not pay.

I have also received calls from the same number from a Mike Martinez he also stated the same information to me and I have paid $500.00 to this source. I am now outraged with this issue.What can I do about mu situatiion of recovering my money?

I received a message from the above number, who left the name of Johnny Lee telling me that I was the prime suspect in some serious crimes and that I needed to contact him to see if he could help me straighten them out before I had to appear in court.  I had previously received a call from someone threatening me with the sherriff coming to my door and wanting to know why I had not responded to check freud and the other charges filed solely a***nst me.  As I have not committed any criminal acts or write bad checks, I ***g up the phone.  It should be so****ing that can be done about these calls, as not everyone receiving them will think to investigate further and will give out their personal information to these crooks!!
