202-759-0813

I'm getting calls from this number and they don't leave a name or the name of the company

Hello any one know who this number is 2027590813 they called me saying it was some law firm

Anything coming out of Area code 202 is going to be a scam in progress.   Currently the IRS scam being run by scammers in India/Pakistan is the hottest scam going..   If you get a call from area code 202 claiming that you have computer viruses,   or claiming to be the IRS and say you owe unpaid taxes,  or even a shady sounding debt collector,  just  hang up.

Jay thank you they said they were some law office who spoke really good English saying I owe a payday loan I just want this madness to stop

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.

Scam phone call

They call me off and on I never answer or call back always claim I will be arrested amazing how many times they are coming to get me. It's crazy   I hope by ignoring the calls will stop. I believe they want a response but as much ad I would like to tell them off I don't because I believe that will make it worse.

Total scam.  Most likely an Indian payday loan scam.  Saying  you own money and you are going to be arrested.  Stupid scam.
These people are hard core scammers, they know your financial  information and a lot of personal information.  They pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and members of the immigrant community and anyone else they think is vulnerable.

Don't talk to them, don't return their calls.  Block their calls.

You are right. This is a total scam.   Don't talk to them, do not return their calls.  They are calling you because they think for some reason you are vulnerable.  Also, like any criminal,  they are extremely abusive if they find their scam is not working.  Invest in a call blocker, because they will probably call you again on another scam.

Anytime anyone cold calls you with an Indian accent and 1.  offers you something or 2.  threatens you, you know it's a scam.

Received a call on my cell and my work number.  Spoke with a Tammy Dickson and she asked me all the validation questions.  Had my ex-husbands home address and said I took out a loan in October 2010.  I never lived at that address and never took out a loan.  She said that it was going to be reported unless I settled now.  I told her that she could speak with my attorney and she hung up.

obviously someone reading from a script. seemed to get excited, what a JOKE. call them back and let them know you are aware they are scammers, i like to hit redial about 1000 times just to mess with them.
oh well, joke

I called back curious...I asked for the ladies name she said "Karen"  I said Karen who and she said Karen Atwater.  I then asked why she was calling me and she said who is this.  I said who are you and what company are you calling for and she hung up.  I called back and she threatened to send papers to my state told her to go ahead.  they are scammers anyone with legitimate business with you will give you their name and company and the reason for the call. So don't even try to talk to them they will call you ignorant...Looks like they are ignorant to me

PRG and Associates just left a generic voicemail message saying I had legal actions pending and wanting a statement from me.  I called back and got a very informal answering machine.  I didn't leave a message or talk to a live person.  looked them up on Google and found this site.  D

Unwanted calls.  This number calls saying I have a legal matter to address with them.  They are really shady.

I just received the same generic voicemail..the caller I'd reads pass forward rec. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, there are many people who have your problem. I have clients who have had their wireless numbers continuously called by telemarketers. Even numbers that are on the National Do Not Call List get telemarketing calls. There is a Federal Law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). It allows for an individual to recover up to $1500 for each violation that occurs. Calls to personal and business wireless numbers, using a pre-recorded message ( a robot on the other line asking you to press one to connect) or an ATDS (you say hello a few times and you hear a click sound, followed by someone on the other end of the phone), must receive prior express written consent when making a call, otherwise it may violate the law. Calls to a residential landline using a pre-recorded message are also most likely illegal as well.  Unfortunately, the only real way to try and make these illegal telemarketing practices stop is by going after them and making them pay damages. I recommend you consult an attorney familiar with the TCPA to help you in this matter.

DISCLAIMER
This post does not provide legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need legal advice, please contact an attorney directly.

You seem to be confused as to which law governs this caller which is bad for someone claiming to be an attorney. Debt collectors are not bound by the TCPA but by the FDCPA and state debt collection laws when contacting consumers and can only be sued for FDCPA or state debt collection law violations, not TCPA violations.

Don't put down the whole area code friend.  Just use common sense.  If you don't recognize the number, don't answer folks.  Simple as that.  If it's legit, they'll leave a message.

Threaten business with the county.

Scam.  Ignore and block the calls.
