213-289-3789

he called me and told me that they dont give out money too beggers and too go work my corner and get some money then go buy a dollar burger i went off on that man

They called my husband today and said he was going to be arrested b/c of a cash advance that was on his credit report.

I got a call from him to day on the 7602694173 he told me that I would be arrested because of a payday loan on Monday to give him the Amount in full today and nothing would happen.  He gave me his name of Ronnie Cooper and a number to call him back on that I had til noon today to come up with the money the number he gave me 2132893789.  This man had me in a nervous break down till I read this info on the net.  This man need to be put in jail.

Oh my god he just called me today!!! He had me so sick! I have been having heart problems and when he told me I was gonna be arrested I thought I felt my heart give out for a second!!! The number came from somewhere in Los Angeles, CA. If I had the money and spare time I would fricking go find that [***]!

I got called from Steven Scott at 585-641-4422. When I called then "Ronnie Cooper" gave me the 213-289-4422 number. He said Steven Scott is was his paralegal officer and he was a senior attorney. I hope someone finds this [***]

Also, he called me 34 times within 30 minutes!!! And left me 15 voicemails!!!!

I am an attorney in Michigan, and I was contacted by a former client to call these folks.  They were calling the client claiming to have an arrest warrant, and they intended to send letters to my client's employer to get her fired.  They claimed to be lawyers working for the Soulier law firm.  They alternatively claim to work for the Federal Register Consumer Affairs.  Both of these suggestions are bizarre.  When I called, the thickly accented guy went off muttering about begging for money by a church for three or four days to buy McDonald's.  He then swore at me and hung up.  He never talked about the account at all, except to repeatedly insult my client.  I can't tell if this is a real debt collection company or if it is an elaborate phishing scam employing telemarketers.  (I suspect it is scam.)

I applied for a loan online never recieved the loan now they call and say i owe 900 and sumthing dollars i never recieved the loan and will not pay with as many people that believe this is a scheme i decided to not pay lets goto court then

BS  there just trying to take your money nd they get your info by payday loan nd it's been 3 hrs so were are they at I'm still waiting i hope someone gets tbis a**holes nd I'm gonna take this to the police dep for identy theft 

I am an attorney in Lexington, KY and I received a call from someone today who was in distress about possibly being arrested for not paying on a loan and the call came from a Ronnie Cooper (Indian accent) at 213.289.3789. This person sent them $2500 because he thought it was from a few online loans he had taken out. I had him record a phone call wherein Ronnie Cooper threatens to have him arrested in 30 minutes and that the Court would not give him bail and he'd be in jail for 4-5 days if he didn't send more money. This is totally illegal and a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I attempted to call Ronnie Cooper and he barely talk to me and actually continued to threaten to have my person arrested. He hung up on me numerous times and said his attorney would be calling me in 5 minutes - shock - no call from anyone! Then this Ronnie Cooper calls my client and I told him do not answer any calls from this number and he takes it to the next level and leaves a voice-mail saying he is going to "kill" him now!  My guy is reporting this to local law enforcement and we will be informing the FBI regarding this scam - but please, please do not send any money or even talk to anyone calling from 213.289.3789 or claiming to be a Ronnie Cooper with Cash Advance America. If you've taken out online loans then get everything in writing, with account numbers, addresses, etc and make sure you know who you are paying and where it is going! The numbers and names will likely change in this scam so be very careful and smart about someone calling - if they start threatening to have you arrested this is not a legitimate collections agency or company - so ask them to send something in writing and hang up on them and do not answer any more calls and block, the number

they are a complete fraud.  I filed a police report this caller Ronny was threatening me at work on a recorded line demanding money

A man named Steven Scott called me and left a message saying I needed a lawyer and if I did not have one he wished me good luck. I called them back and he said that the sherrifs were going to show up to my job Monday morning if I didn't send him $788 western union for a loan I had paid on. It really scared me. Then after some googling and looking this number up (213-289-3789) I came to fid out it is a big scam.

they just called me in told me i will be in jail the nextday if i dont pay 900 to them now. Thats a lot of bs when i bcalled back n said i was a cop they hung up on me . then i called n said my dad a cop just called why didnt u talk to him. they said they didnt get a call so this must be a scam . I dont even work but they going to send the cops to my job wtf if u know where i live send them there and besides i didnt get any mail or email . So if u get that call dont pickup u will just get yourself mad. Look out for 7602694173 and 2132893789

did they ever send the cops

The FBI is investigating this because their is a front man living here in America (who is from India) - The money initially goes to him in his American account and then he feeds the money to his "operators" who are located in India.

ABC News link: http://gma.yahoo.com/phantom-debt-collectors- ... topstories.html

Report them to the FBI because it's still under investigation and there has been lawsuits filed against the indian guy who is living here in America.

To file with the FBI: https://tips.fbi.gov/

To file with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

They're still working on this case, but since the front man lives here in America and ABC went to his house and all the money initially goes to his account, this might be just the loophole that the FBI will need to get these folks stopped

I got a call from this guy today and basically the same story as the people above.  I called back a couple of times and the guy became really rude.  Said he was going to google all the information he has beloning to me so people could steal my identity.  For a second this guy had me thinking it was real. Im going to change my bank account information as soon as possible.

I received a call from this Ronnie Cooper recently and was so scared that I bit into his scam-even attempted to send the money he was demanding from me. My story is the same as most of the above, and basically this man threatened me to within an inch of my physical and financial life. Change your phone number and banking information and notify the FTC if you are contacted by this individual. It is a scam and they are criminials.

Received the same call and threats as stated above.  Am supposed to call him back today with money, have already filed a complaint with the FTC and am notifiying my local law enforcement.  Will let you know if I end up arrested as he states.

This is a criminal extortion ring operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
