Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
Online users who have received fake "Nationwide Credit Collection" email messages like the one below, which claim that they have been given a chance to settle a "Nationwide Credit Collection" debt outside of court, should delete the email messages and not follow the instructions in them. This is because the email messages are fraudulent, and are being sent by scammers to trick the recipients into sending them money believing that they will be sued for money owed and their credit history tarnished.

They have moved from using email to using the phone. I was being harrassed over the phone but refused to pay. When we finally told them we were confident this was a scam, they stopped calling.

Once again but has changed and we have asked for information to verify companys and debts but they have only given a link to get payment information (yeah not gonna click on that BS) contacted all companies with related names and none have owned up to this being them, so far all have said its a scam.Hope they know as per 3 payday loan companies said you can not be arrested or prosecuted for payday loans only sued for unpaid balance like any other debt. - - - - - - -"The Lender you owe is Cash Advance USA which is Parent Company. The Actual Lender Cash Advance USA on file.The lender has tried contacting you several times and when they could not get proper response from you, they decided to recover the money from you via us.We are a debt collection agency and we are not convincing you to make a payment.We are just informing you and giving you a final chance to settle your debt before your arrest warrant gets released.The total amount due is $1200.00 Once your debt is settled the lender will send you NO DUE LETTER.If the arrest warrant is released you will end up paying more than $5000 and if not then could get arrested too.Please note that we are not threatening you, we are just doing our job.Thank You.Paul Anderson Attorney Paul Anderson
