‘CashNet USA Office Department Law, Enforcement Summons’ – Scam
Some email messages which pose as if they are sent by the CashNet USA Office claiming that legal actions will be taken against the recipients to recover balance due, legal fees and court cost that has incurred are just fraudulent mails. The fake email messages are being sent by online scammers to frighten and trick the recipients into sending them money by threatening lawsuits against them.
Some of the emails do take this form:

Subject: Re : WARNING FOR GARNISHMENT
To: “CASHNET USA” <[email protected]>
CASE FILE #: BN15711E
Settlement Amount: $734.27.
Urgent: Please rectify this matter immediately.
This letter is to notify you that we have received a Summons of Garnishment on your wages. This means that someone you owe money to has been awarded a judgment by the court for payment of the debt. The court has ordered us your employer to deduct 25-30% percent of your disposable earnings and make payment to the court on your behalf.
This is an important letter and requires your immediate attention. Despite sending you several reminders, we have received no response from you about your seriously past due account of $734.27. We feel we have given you ample time and have been more than patient with you. Therefore, we feel there is no other recourse but to write this debt off of our books by reporting it as a “bad-debt loss” to the I.R.S. Through a 1099-C filing. You can avoid this by remitting payment today for the full amount due. If we do not receive your payment within the next five days, we are going to have to take action.
Why am I receiving this notice?
