was a scam saying my daughter and i had commited fraud and needed to contact them immediately or we would be arrested...name of officer dominic was mentioned.

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.

ABC News recently did a report on this particular scam. Here's the link to the report:  http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1

And the West Virginia Attorney General recently issued a press release warning consumers about this scam. Here's the link:  http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm

This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobbylgook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."

Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, US Federal Bank, Sonic Bank, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.

The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)

The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.

A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.

This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (
http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.

Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )

Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.

This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):

1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.

2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov  Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.

3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.

4) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a *small* sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Person called Jim Kelly with Indian accent threatened to have me arrested for an unpaid debt that I do not have.  Numerous harrassing phone calls.  I told him I was turning him in to the better business bureau

The BBB can't do anything - it has the no authority of any kind.  Report them to the police and attorney general and fbi, etc.

A man, identifying himself as Officer/Investigator Joe Kingman, called my work and cell phones yesterday demanding that I send them $710 or they were going persue legal action against me and have me arrested.

So they left me a message... saying blah blah blah legal stuff and crap.... and then the "good luck if you ignore us"..they also had my last 4.. So i called back the number they gave me... it was a number based out of Orlando...anyways I just wanted to see what they would tell me... so I talked to a John Catler.... he said he was in a paralegal dept...I asked who did he represent.... he said the legal dept...i said no who are you trying to collect this debt on behalf of...and he starts yelling in his thick middle eastern accent that he is not part of a 3rd party collection agency and he was hanging up the phone right then...so then this recording played that said "card balance is too low...goodbye" even though I didnt give him any info like that what so ever.... so im thinking thats what everyone hears...esp when they "pay"... yeah really shady

not threatening. yesterday & today got call to my cell from heavy ethnic voice maybe indian. Kept  insisting to speak to JANE JACKSON once i understood him! Just kept asking for her and wanting to leave a message for her. Told him: Do not know her. This is not her #. My number for over 10 years and to remove my number from their contact list (I assumed this was just a debt collector call until reading this site)
Do not call me again!
Will let you know if they do

This is just great! I started getting calls from these people yesterday..I have yet to answer my phone because I already knew who they were. Aco-worker of mine had this problem late last year. And then, a couple weeks ago there was fraudulent activity on my bank account and now this. I'm waiting for them to call me at work...I am NOT answering an international call on my cell phone! Once they call me at work, I will begin taking the necessary steps to ensure they leave me alone. I've been told by people that people like this have bought your debt from someone you owe and this is their way of collecting...by lying and breaking the law. When they call you, let them know you know their game...ask for THEIR information: name, company they represent, address, fax number, tax ID number. If they are a legitimate corporation, they would willingly provide that information. Good luck everyone!!!

I have been getting calls from these people since August 2008 . They claimed I owed payday loans from 2006, since i had taken payday loans in 2006, I wondered, do I still owe on those. I was unaware of this scam and they were able to get money from me. I have since became wise of them so they have now started calling my place of work bothering my boss, and co-workers. They have threaten me and have threaten the lives of my children by stating "do you have children"? and that I better keep an eye on them, they have even said that they have commandos to take care of people like me. These people are relentless they continue to call even after speaking to a detective from our local sheriffs station, who told them that they were under investigation. I wish that these people would or will be caught, they have caused me sleepless nights and only a small loss of money, thank God!  I have also called numerous payday loan companies to make sure I do not owe money to them. Thus far I have found that I do not owe money to these companies, and was told by them that if I did owe them money, they would not use this sort of collection tactics. P.S.When these calls began they referred to themselves as Financial Crimes Enforcement Network  they have as of a week ago or so, started calling themselves US National Bank. They give names like Detective Duncan, Mark Scott, and so many other names I can't remember them all. They frequently change their number and their names.   Please I hope someone can stop them.

Received a call from them today, not only did they call me at my place of work, but also called my parents home and my sisters cell phone.  They wouldn't tell me what the matter was about just that I would be arrested today because I'd commited fraudulant activity.  The man that left the voicemails identified himself as James White and the person I spoke to when I called back was his "associate" Alan Kenner.  Both threatened me with being arreseted and I ended up hanging up on them.  I put a fraud alert on my credit, contacted my banks and filed a police report.  The local police said if they continue to call to pay a visit to my local sherrifs office, they take this stuff very seriously and will wire tap my phone, etc to try to go after these people.  So, I suggest the same from everyone else.

The call came in from 030-333-9747 and they wanted me to call them back at 407-520-5124 (which is a number in Kissemme FL registed (per google) to Kissemme transportation.

Do not fall for this they are extortionist preying on peoples fear. Tell them if you owe money you want to see paper work, do not give then any kind of information. They will continue calling even after you tell them that you have reported them to the police. I know because even after I did all the police reports, alerted my bank, called the FBI, State Attorney's General Office, and the Federal Trade Commission, they still continue to call my place of work only now they have a lady with a strong Indian or Arabic accent calling asking for me. They are relentless and a definite scam.
I have received my credit reports from all credit bureaus and even a report from Teletrack ( I called for this report because Payday loan companies I spoke with told me that if I were to owe them money they would have reported it to Teletrack) and I have nothing owing to any payday loan company according to the reports I received. I'm sorry to hear that they are victimizing so many people with this scam. I hope that they will be caught.

Has been calling for the last 5 years asking for an old employee of ours. I yelled at the foriegner guy one time when he called. I told hime he had the wrong number and to stop calling - first he hung up on me, then i get a call back a couple minutes later and he called me a "stupid maggot". Kinda funny but he still calls at least once every two months.

I have been getting these calls the last few days, they called and threatened my sister, were rude and threatening to my children. Told me I owed 653.00 from an old payday loan over a year ago, and I was going to be arrested for bank fraud, internet fraud and some other kind of fraud if I didnt resolve the matter right then. He said his name was Ricky Watson and he was from the Financial Crime Division of the United States of America. The phone number he gave me today was, 407-520-5124. The phone numbers from the day before were, 030-333-9747 and 904-239-3952. I immediately called my bank, my lawyers office and the police dept. The bank put increased security on my account and the lawyers office and police dept. said to have them to contact them with anything else regarding my person.So please be aware people these morons are dead set on trying to convince you they are legit. Dont fall for it. If it was legit. then you would be getting papers in the mail about your delinquint debt or papers in  the mail to appear in court about the matter. So dont let these suckers get to you they are a bunch of dumb aces who are trying to drain us Americans of what little we have left to call our own.And oh yea he kept getting so mad because I couldnt understand what his heavily accented mouth was tryin to say to me, plus he kept telling me to speak up, and got very Irate because I laughed at him also...SO just beware people.

WHAT A JOKE!!! DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY - just laugh in their face, b/c they are ridiculous!!!!

A foreign guy used to called me every day asking for what sounded like "Anita Moto." I told him he had the wrong number. They continued to call around the same time everyday for awhile. After a break, they started calling back everyday. I never gave my name, but they were stating that I had an unpaid balance of $600 to JCPenney. Throughout the many times they've called, I've requested for them to not call my number anymore. That hasn't done anything except made them want to call back even more... One time they called and I told them to not call me anymore and the guy mimicked me and in a shrill voice said "don't call this number anymore." Then today, for the first time in a few months I receive a call from this number at 5:54, and it's the foreign guy again asking for Anita Moto. I told him it was the wrong number and to not call back. This is when it started getting ridiculous... He said I know this is the wrong number, but I just like to hear your voice, and asked my name... I told him that I wasn't giving him my name and called him a pervert. He asked over and over again so I hung up on him. Since he was obviously trying to get on my nerves, he called back at 5:56. 6:00, 6:03 6:10 and 6:11!!! I now have 2 voice mails on my phone. One in which he is repeatedly saying "I love you" and "Darling, I love you very much" and explains that he just wants to talk to me. In the second voice mail, the guy says that he loves me very much and will call me everyday at this time, and to wait for his call. This guy is a joke! Unless it is possible to fall in love with someone after the first "Hello"

My wish for the love crazed man? To not be able to call and harass people. It's crazy how cell phone companies cannot block phone numbers from calling your cell- unless it's just my carrier.

these people have called my cell,called my work, over and over. a man identifying himself as anthony robbins law offices  said i did something against the law and if i did'nt give him personal information including my ss number i would be arrested within 8 to 10 hours possible at my work. they try to scare you into believeing that you need to do this. DONT do it. when i refused and asked there company name again (i was going to look it up on the internet while i was talking to them) they hung up on me.your first clue if your going to be arrested they usually wont worn you over the phone and they normally can speek english.

I received a few calls at work yesterday and today from a number 408-715-1614 and also told me that I was going to be arrested and to get an attorney. I told them to not call me anymore and that I have not done anything to be arrested so they got mad at me. Then the hung up and I called them and they told me that I was hassassing them. So please don't fall for these people they are scammers and we need to report this to the autorities.

God Bless us

So my son got 3 calls on his cell phone (which use to be my cell) with voicemails left for my husband from a "Frank Miller". The number that showed up on the caller ID was 846-777-8147. We originally tried to call it back but it said that number couldnt accept incoming calls. The number that "Frank" left in the voicemail to call was 904-239-3951 which is a cellphone from Jacksonville, Fl. So when my husband called them back, this Frank person said "We have information that your friend (insert my name here) has committed fraud against your name and number. We need your help to find her." Now my husband made sure to hide the number (used *67) when he called and called from his cellphone. So he told this man "she lives with me. Hold on." and handed me the phone. The guy tried to tell me that i had defaulted on an internet payday loan from 2008 and that i was being brought up on 3 charges. He then asked for my phone number so they could call back (since they couldnt see it because my hubby had hidden it) and i said "no. you have me on the phone now, so talk." and he "transferred" me to a Joe Kingman. Let me mention that the first guy had a horribly thick middle eastern accent and that the backround noise was HORRIBLE. It was so hard to hear anything. So when this Joe Kingman got on the phone, his accent was easier to understand. He said they were downloading the warrants and he actually read me off my ENTIRE social security number, my old checking account information, and my full first and last name. He also read me off an email address that is not mine. I told him that none of that information was accurate at all. He kept insisting that I was being federally monitored and that the call was being recorded. i said "fine. record whatever you want. None of that is my correct info and I did not take out a payday loan ever." He kept insisting that it was my correct info and I told him it was not and that i have not done anything wrong and that I wasnt paying anyone anything because, again, that info was wrong and I didnt take out a loan. He then got really upset and said "you're making a very bold statement in saying that." And I said " Thats right. I NEVER TOOK OUT A LOAN AND NONE OF THAT IS MY INFORMATION." Then he said " Well, you say you didnt do this. Good luck with that." and he hung up on me. i started to freak out and my husband did some internet research and found this site. Holy smokes!!! I've never been the subject of any kind of fraud like this. Its scary what people can do.

This story hits home! A officer duncan called my work over and over...when i told him i was at lunch he started to threaten me with coming down to my work to investigate! I then transferred the call to my boss and "officer Duncan" told my boss he wasnt a boss and he was stupid! These people call my work over and over about 5-6 times a day! Its so scary!

Only 030 showed on caller ID. Recorded message form a woman I could not understand. Told me someone,I do not know, will be arrested after 11 tomorrow if I do not text to some one? Said she was from fbi. I could not understand what she said. I just hate answering number's I do not know. So,just wanted to see who can use such a number to call, now I know,
