202-747-1798

Some man called me said that I was been charged with fraud. Told  if I didn't pay the 3800 dollars that he was sending the police to my house I told him OK I'm home and hung up!!!

I got a call from  this number earlier today.They left a voice mail and said I was on the list to be served on Wednesday. They left a number which was this number I googled it and found out about it. Its a fake number they are a fraud company con artist. They most likely get your information from identity theft. Thanks for your post though this is not the first time these numbers have called me and my husband.

Called me and said I was being served a civil action for a loan 3 years ago. I told them to serve me and hung up.

Got a call they were going to serve a warrant for me.......thank you for people that posted the information on this site.  It was very threatening and glad that it is a fraud call.

My husband was called at work. Voicemail left :  This is Taylor White calling from the tax lean department (no company given)
This is a Tax interceptions notice attached to your social security notice attached to your social number ending in XXXX
If she does not receive a phone call before 5PM eastern, you leave her not choice but to process this paperwork
Call 202 747 1798 with case number XXXXXX
This is a legal matter so can you contact me back by today
Thank you & you have been legally notified”
First of all, you cannot be served or notified via phone or email and certainly not by voicemail.
I am contacting the FBI and IRS because they had the last four digits of my husband's social. There are at least four complaints with the BBB as well. Be warned, it is illegal for anyone to leave this kind of message with your information. They can leave their name and number and the company they represent, but that is all.

I think it is a good idea to cal the FBI, they had the last 4 numbers of my husbands social security number as well. they called again today and left another message saying they had tried to serve us and they had no luck so they were going to place an ad in my local newspaper. The only thing i can think of it that they got his social security number because he appied for a payday advance and the last time something like this happened it was a couple of days after we had applied for the last pay day advance. I dont know how they get them but identity thieves get your social from that and your phone number and start harrasing you, the one thing i know in my heart is that we did nothing wrong so i was secure in the fact that it is fraud and they just want to steal your identity.

I got the same call today as the one posted here on Jan 14.  These people calling are such idiots.  It's sad that they are obviously making enough money to keep their little operation going.  

I also received a call today for my husband saying we had been "legally notified" and please call back and refer to docket number xxxxx and something about withholding our taxes? This is the second time they've called me from the same number except this time I let it go to VM because they restricted their number. Last time a man called and I googled the number and found out it was connected to fraud/ scams. I told the man it was easy to google that number and see clearly he was running a scam. He told me I was delusional and hung up on me! LOL, do yourself a favor and block the number and restricted calls from your cell phone.

I too got this exact same message on my wife's voicemail about the "Tax Lien" etc. etc. and "Docket#" etc. etc. and was told to call back and refer to case number whatever. I called directory assistance before I thought to search Yahoo. They said their was no listing for this number on a reverse search... so I was confident it was a scam without a doubt. Besides... I have no property, no vehicle, no job, and no income or savings right now so good luck to whoever trys to steal my identity, Lol! If they steal my identity they'll be in for a treat because they will be swamped with call from bill collectors, hah!

They just called me and told me that there is a report being filed against me with my social security on their desk and that I am going to be served and my wages are going to be garnished and my taxes held well good luck with that I know this is a scam and I am not stupid

Left a message stating item was return from my bank? What item?

Same message saying I have an item returned from my bank.  Nothing outstanding on my end.  Scam. ACB Assets? I couldn't really understand the message too well because it was recorded.

This company also just tried to scam me and i DID NOT fall for it....they couldn't give me any names, numbers, dates, etc....sorry SOB's!!!  GTF outta here!!

They called and left a message on my husbands voicemail and said it was in regards to a returned item from my bank. Well I dont have a checking account so how would something be retured???...so I told my hudband it must be a scam. So I called them and they said it was a law firm and they had my social security number and said I need to call them by 5pm with some kind of payment. I honestly was starting to go in panic mode cause he said they will serve me with papers and have 22% of my paycheck garnished to pay off the debt. But then I caught him in a lie because im on the same time frame as the area code and he told me they would only be open till 5pm but 7pm my time....lol...I live the next state over. Always around the time of tax season it seems like the scammers come out more. Im glad I googled this number and found out that I wasnt the only one. Be careful everyone.

Also just received a call from them saying that I took out a payday loan in 2007, paid for several months then didn't make any other payments.  I told them it didn't sound familiar.  Told them to send me a copy and he said no that they have sent me paperwork.  When I said where was it sent he said it didn't matter it was sent and if I didn't pay I would have to pay the costs and legal costs and then hung up.  I have had the same phone number for years so if I owed why would they wait over 7 years to contact me.  if I owed wouldn't the original company have called me.  And why when I question him he ends up hanging up on me.  Does not sound very professtional.

I received a call at my work, on my cell and on my boss's phone.  The man left a message, said his name was Chirs Spencer with PNC Courier and I had been legally notified about case #XXXX with the last for of my SS# and that I can call this number back to dispute.  The call was marked Private.

It's a scam to get people to pay bogus debts.  And, per the FDCPA, you should not pay any caller who refuses to MAIL a debt validation letter showing that (1) you owe a debt and that (2) the caller has the legal right to collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this documentation within five days of the first call is a violation of the FDCPA.  They may say they "sent" the paperwork already - that is bull puckey.  More info on these extortion scams here - and where to report them:

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.

They called my unlisted number and my father - I don't have outstanding debt - never did.  I have never done anything illegal - come to my house - my BG's will take care of you scum!  

I just received a vm from the same guy named Chris Spencer, advised me to call bk 202-747-2798. He had my last 4 of my social. Are we supposed to contact the FBI?

I hardly ever use my cell phone.  I just got my first voice mail messages from (202) 747-1798.  They were saying something about ACB(?) Assets, my file number, a returned item from my bank, a way for voluntary resolution.  Also, at the beginning of their message, when they were stating who the message was for, the name was garbled/not understandable.  Of course, that was because they did not know my name.
