BDC - 6 May 2008this number has called multiple times, with threatening requests for money. the monetary amount keeps changing. they refuse to give any information about what the debt is, account number, and what is exactly owed. they want us to go to walmart and do an express money gram, but want the money gram office at walmart to call and get information. they state they want to "make sure" we are at money gram at walmart. they also state if we do not do what they want they will sell our personal property and arrest us. the individual is that calls mainly is Frank Miller and has a very heavy accent.

a person - 7 May 2008yes!!! I've gotten that call also, at my job and at my home. they claim to be from the federal financial division and say that the call is connected to a federal line and the court house is recording it. they say that it was a loan i made in 2006 and the only call me now, i ask them no problem tell me exactly what this is where you are from and on who you are calling in behalf of and i will resolve this problem. then the first woman i speak with (a Celine something) tells me to hold on and gets a guy with a very very heavy accent and claim sto be an Officere Hadey Brown" tells me to go to walmart and make a payment of $100 so that they can put my account on hold. and that i have to call form there just loike they told oyu so they can be sure that im doing the money gram. they tol me they were from the federal financial division but when i asked them the name of the company to which write out the money gram to the say to write IBM in PALM COAST FLORIDA. i asked them to send me something in writing with all the information becaus i want it in writing and they say they can't because the áttorney'downstairs says i have to pay the 100 first (BTW they wanted me to pay $1,094.40) i said i don't have that kind of money now.....well i paid the 100, because this person claiming to be an officer which when i called back from walmart he then said he was MR BROWN said that they won't put against me anymore because i paid the 100 today, but that if i didn't they were goign to send someone to my job tomorrow and take me.....well i called my boyfriend and he said that if i pay the 100 im stupid (which i probably am, they just threatned 100 bucks out of me) and that they can NOT say you are goping to jail for not paying a debt, and i didn't even to tell him what it was, he goes it was on of those payday loans....he told me they can NOT take you and that what the are doing is illegal (he has lots of attorneys friend, so he knows laws). Bottom line, I calle dmy attorney after paying the $100 and I'm speaking to him tomorrow about it.

PKC - 5 Jun 2008Same here...they keep calling and threatening to arrest us. For what I have no idea, as they have such a heavy accent, I can't understand much of what they say. He claims to be Charles Gibson, but is DEFINATELY not an American person on the phone. Calls constantly. I think they must have gotten our numbers somewhere, as they have my ssn and my husband's name. They seem to think my ssn is his. I am going to try to report this, but don't know who to report it too.

ec - 5 Jun 2008It's a scam; be sure not to pay them anything.
There is no "Financial Crime Division" or "National Crime Division". This is the same group of foreign scammers who use caller ID spoofing software or VoIP to disguise where they're really located. They also use many other fake names such as US National Bank, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office and Morgan Associates, just to name a few. One thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) have the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) These same scammers also routinely impersonate bankers, lawyers, FBI agents, police and other law enforcement officials, which, obviously, is illegal as well. (Besides, law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection, and debt is a civil matter, not criminal.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money. I suggest you do all the following (most of which you can do online):
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 give them all the details.
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://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
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.)
Hope this helps.

MAP - 12 Jul 2008Frank Miller called me today and threatened to have me arrested at work or at home, and put me in jail. He asked if I had someone I could call to get money (stupid me .. I was desperate and did a payday loan in 2004). Well, after reading so many postings about "Frank Miller" and his cohorts, I feel better. I'm going to pay up, but not to these people. I've already filed a complaint with the FTC.

Sherri - 1 Aug 2008I have gotten these same sorts of calls from a Don Wilson, Alex Cooper, and Roger Clarke claiming from a US National Bank, Financial Crimes Division threatening to take me to jail if I don't pay up. I have contacted the FTC ad Dept. of Consumer Affairs. Maybe if all those who are victimized contact these agencies, something can be done.

Tina - 9 May 2008I received a call from this number on May 7 at my job and numerous calls at home from a man with a thick accent. I couldn't even understand his name and told me the same thing about I was going to be arrested, etc. Little did he know that he was calling my job and I work for a law firm and while he was on the phone with me I was looking up scams and of course, I found out this a scam and being in law for 25 years, I knew it. They left 2 message at my home yesterday.

DB - 9 May 2008This call came at 7:19 this morning 05/09/2008. They claim to be from US National Bank in Florida, however the number is in Dallas TX. They also claim to be from the federal fraud division. The threat is a given case number and jail. THIS IS A SCAM. Notify local police, the Better Business Bureau and the FTC.
Search the internet and find every available source to close them down. I am currently working on filing complaints in all available agencies and the more they get the faster they shut it down.

Joy - 12 May 2008I go the same call this morning, 05/12/2008 @ 9:30 am. We get this call about every 8 mos. or so, I just keep getting more info from them and I turn it all over to the Attorney Generals office. If any of you have ever done a payday loan over the internet, this is why you are receiving these calls. I did get that much info out of him the last time they called. This time he said his name was Phil David but I'm pretty sure the last time he called it was Frank Miller (the same as BDC) and they're from the US National Bank Federal and Financial Crime Division. They say they have filed a legal complaint against my husband and that the police would be here shortly to pick him up. I kept calling them back asking for their address, which police dept would be coming to get my husband, the name of the attorney, if I could speak to the attorney, and a couple of other questions. He stated to me that he could not give me any of this information, that we would find all this out once my husband is arrested. I said well I may need to contact an attorney for my husband and I needed all this info to give to our attorney, he said he wasn't allowed to give out that information. I've already contacted the WV Attorney Generals office this morning and am getting ready to contact the BBB.
