Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The "Dennis Law Group" email below is a fake. The fake email message is being sent by scammers to trick the recipients into sending them money by threatening legal actions. Therefore, recipients of the fake email message which appears as if it came from "Dennis Law Group," should delete it and not follow the instructions in it.
It is important that the public takes precautions when asked to send money via money transfer services like Western Union and MoneyGram, or Prepaid Debit Card to pay legal services or the government. This is because scammers use those untraceable money transfer services to collect money from their victims. Money sent via those services are not refundable, once the scammers have collected or used it.

On 10/11/23 I also received a fake email from them.
They are still at it. I received a fake email with similar wording from the same email address on 9/21/2023. For a loan provider I’ve never heard of.
I've been receiving emails like this for the past 15 years from all sorts of fraudulent law firms! I took a loan out from an online provider in 2008, which I repaid in 3 months (plus a minute amount of interest) and since then I have been bombarded with these sh*t emails and even phone calls at least once a week! NONE of these idiots are legitimate, especially when you look at their horrible grasp of the English language with their misspellings, weird capitalizations, and downright miserable grammar!DON'T FALL FOR ANY OF THEM!

My goodness, isn't this priceless!! Scam city people!! These people are frauds and thieves!! I have received this very same email before. They just do not give it up. Nothing happens... I've been waiting for served papers from the local court here for "3" years!! I have responded to their emails requesting the following information. Which you have every legal right to request under current laws. Of course they've never responded to my requests. If they are a legitimate collection law firm... They'd provide the info you request... They have to per the laws!!if there is such legit loan . . "you people" 1) must provide a written copy of such loan agreement signed by myself and date when it was signed. Notarized!!!2) must provide the full payment schedule and dates from such loan company. Notarized!!! 3) must provide the bank account # in which this so called loan was deposited to and the proof of the date deposited. Notarized!!!4) must provide the name of my employer. it strikes me "funny" that these idiots obviously send out a "bulk email" which has the "very same" loan amount due of $1278.00 and same account # am-48887!!!these people have been reported over and over again the the fcc, ftc, and the us attorney general's office. There is an ongoing investigation since 2003 with the us attorney general's office regarding these fraud debt collection law offices. Google "scam debt collection email . . Thousands of cases listed. btw . . The irs does not withhold your tax return . .

Hi!! I received the same exact notice with the same case number, loan account, amount outstanding and settlement. Scammers!!!!
What happen in two days?
I received the same email (literally copy/pasted) from three different email accounts with seemingly domain names for three bona fide law firms. When I checked the contact information directly to these three law firms, their emails were all very different from the ones that sent me the emails.The legitimate Dennis Law Group's email domain is -dennislawgroup.com (the scammers are using -dennis-law-group.com).The legitimate McCarthy Law firm's email domain is -mcarthylawyer.com (their scammers are using -mcarthylaw-plc.com).The third used scammer used an obviously fake domain -collection-manager.com, but didn't blind cc all their other targets. I had everyone's email and did a reply-all advising them it was a scam as we all couldn't have had the same account # and the same loan amount.
I received the same email too. At first, I was scared then I realized how their grammar is really pathetic. Crooks! They need to get a job like the rest of us!
I received the same one as well, but from a jennifer.wilson-dennis-law-group.com.I wasn't too worried about it because they said:1. you might be immediately sacked by your employer as they will be notified.2. your credit will be ruined.3. your wages can be garnished.4. your bank accounts/credit cards will immediately freeze.5. irs will put a hold on your tax return.I've asked for documentation and a phone number and I haven't heard from them
Received this same email scam 3/4/2020... They're "still at it"!when will these people ever learn!!! I really hope the US attorney general's office is still investigating these scammers. I've reported this to them as well as the FCC and FTC and local police. FYI . . I also ask these m****s to provide "notarized proof" of the 3 items listed below. also instructing them to "physically mail" the documents. Which has never happened. Because the signed documents by me do not exist!1) provide a written copy of such loan agreement signed by myself and date when it was signed. Notarized!!!2) provide the full payment schedule and dates from such loan company. Notarized!!! 3) provide the bank account # in which this so called loan was deposited to and the proof of date deposited. Notarized!!!katherine hernandez wed 3/4/2020 1:58 pmthis is the final notification regarding your loan account with advance america corporation.loan account # am-48887due amount- $1278.00settlement amount-$500(till march 13th 2020)we already contacted you several times regarding your unpaid loan account but failed to receive any response from your side.we are ready to file a lawsuit against you and report this to major credit bureaus and inform irs regarding this lawsuit. you will have to face severe consequences like:1. you might be immediately sacked by your employer as they will be notified.2. your credit will be ruined.3. your wages can be garnished.4. your bank accounts/credit cards will immediately freeze.5. irs will put a hold on your tax return.before proceeding ahead, this is your final chance to settle this debt outside courthouse.we just want to know your clear intention in regards to the above mentioned loan account whether you are willing to take care of it or not?we are also willing to provide you with a payment arrangement or one time settlement according to your convenience.please respond asap as you got two business days to respond.

I got the same email from a Samantha!
The scammers are using this email address: cynthia.williams-dennis-law-group.com
I just got the same exact email. If you read through it, you can find grammatical errors all throughout the email and that is the first sign of being fake.A friend of mine showed me what to look for when you receive these types of emails. At first, it really upset me; I knew I had any online loans in a long time.

I received the exact same e-mail with the exact same account number as in this post.I sent an e-mail back because I like to mess with people like this. Doubt they will reply back as I subtly let them know I have ties with law enforcement.
