She rattled off the license plate numbers of my cars and my wife’s car. Then told me if I didn’t pay $5000 right now they were going to have me prosecuted in Texas. And that there would be a warrant issued for my arrest and I would get extradited to Texas. I asked for cash advance loans in Rhode Island proof since I was no way near Texas at the time.
