Foreign scammers saying im being sued for check fraud and several other things, yelled at me then said its their right to talk to me how they want to, then stated its in my best interest to settle out of court...lol, of course i hung up on them after cussing them out :)

Indian guy left a 2 minute voicemail threatening me with a warrant and contacting my employer. Asked me to call them back before I am arrested lol.

A foreigner called me and was threatening me saying I can lose my job, my family will be contacted.  Did not call us by name.  Saying  we can be arrested.  I don't believe it so I didn't call back.

Received a call from 202-214-7715 saying that I was going to be arrested and they were going to contact my employer and that friends and family would be in trouble also if I didn't call them back and take care of the matter, had a strong Indian voice, best I could make it out they were from Ulshenburg and a Associates, tried looking that up and couldn't fined that name.

This guy call me I say bring cops to arrest me if I don't pay 200 and suspended my driver license and call at my employer to suspended my job

Received an email saying that im being charged with check fraud and other things.

I got a call from a guy claiming to be Attorney Jason Scott and had a indian accent. He claim im being charged with three different types of check fraud. The voicemail ended before he finished so thats all the info I have He hasnt  called sense but he called me atleast 50 times before leaving that voicemail. im going to answer the next time hes call and im just going to troll him after all its a scam and i know im not in trouble

Emails and phone call threatening legal action for check fraud from same number. Says I owe almost 12,000!

This is a long summary, but you need to read it carefully if you think you are being threatened by a debt collector.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes statements such as this:

* Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.   ["Written" means snailmailed ... not emailed or texted]

* Debt collectors may NOT
- repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.
- falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives
- falsely claim that you have committed a crime
- falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company
- say you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt
- say they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so
- communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.
- say that legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action
- use a false company name
- take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally;

The debt collector may not garnish your wages unless there is a court order to do so.
+ Many Federal benefits (including Social Security Benefits) are exempt from garnishment

You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000,

Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

I do owe money on an old bill, but I told them to send me the paper in the mail and I would gladly send them a money order, he harrased my husbands work, where they tied up phone lines for hours, his work called the police, the police monitored them, called the FBI and then the phone calls stopped, they are now emailing me, so I have forwarded the email to gmail fruad team, as well the BBB.

I got the same email, I forwarded it to My state attorney office as they are pretending to be lawyers to get your money from you. its against the law.

Got an email from a Richard Belfort from the attorney generals office saying I was under investigation for cheques fraud and theft by deception. The email was filled with several bad gramitacal errors (almost laughable!), this Richard Belfort who is a senior official at this White & case has a return email of gmail, Lol. A true attorney would have a company email. Funny thing is not more than 1 hr later I got another email from this [***] but this time it was a totally different person & address that was under investigation but sent to my email LMAO! So it seems to me this clown is a scammer that emails you in regards to check fraud or past IRS debts under different names (male and female). Ignore these [***]. 1. The person have horrible accents / grammer . 2. Illigel debt tactics. Errounious return email handles. 3. Any federal dept will ALWAYS send you notification on offical letter head. Tell these clowns [***] off and get a laugh at their factions and empty threats.

Got the same email and I responded that this was a scam and I have turned it over to my lawyer.  No more calls or emails!

I got the same email today that and put in jail I have had some consequences before the pain most of them often they start collecting his own couple hundred dollars loan so this guy keeps threatening me I called back and I told him if you are the real attorney general then you have a secretary you wouldn't be personally answer your calls and spell tons of words in his email

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

Got an email from a person statng his name was Senior Attorney Richard Bellfort with White and Case Law Association. The emamil stated I would be arrested, taken to court, wages garnished and reported to the attorney general because of check fraud.  This is totally bogus. There is no attorney at White and Case Law firm.  Do not call or answer any emails.  This is a debt collector.

It's not a debt collector - it's a scammer.  Email is not a valid means of serving a court summons.  If you wish, forward the email to the FBI at their Internet Crime Complaint Center - www.ic3.gov - and just ignore and delete any others you receive.  They're foreign extortionist scammers and they can't do zip to you or anyone else they contact.

I got an email today saying the same thing you wrote in your email they have my social security number and address. Scary what should i do

I got the same email except he claims to be from White and Case Law Associates. If you look at the email it was sent from it is a Gmail account.

The company calling states they are going to throw me in jail for a past debt and that I knowingly wrote a bad check.  That my social security number is on hold and a case is being filed in court.
