214-785-4568

They are calling saying that I owe a payday loan and want me to put money on a money dot green card they say that they are from the federal crime investigation her name is Alisha brown

". . . federal crime investigation. . . " > Great title for a new show on FOX, except that in real life no such Agency exists. The give away to it being a scam is 'Green Dot'. It is a CASH wire transfer service that NO real business uses, & certainly not a Government Agency. It's CASH that can be picked up anywhere in the world. Say. . . Asia, Africa. . . get the idea.

i got the same phone call saying i owe money to this payday loan saying they got me on file etc same name Alisha brown

rcvd e-mail with pdf files to open up shows this telephone #214 785 - 4568 name on email Bob Carner titled court summons.
sounds like a scam to me, don't they present you in person with court summons?????

Carla- I received the same exact email. I never bothered to open it.  

Do not respond to them report them to the FTC they are a scam they sent me an email from some Bob Craner something like that.

"Calling you from Federal Crime Investigation Department. This call is to inform you that there is a case file on you name as well as on your social. So give me a call back on my direct line number is 2147854568. Again it's 2147854568. Don't disregard this message. Now if you don't return the call or I don't hear from (unintelligible) either. The only thing I can do is wish you a good life (unintelligible.) God bless you and goodbye."

This is the voicemail I received from an unidentified woman with a heavy asian accent. I called the number back and some man identified himself as calling from the state attorney general's office. I asked for his name, Kevin Martin. I asked him what this matter was in regards to, and he said a payday loan. I informed him that I have never taken a payday loan out before. He cut me off and said "Ma'am you need to let me finish talking." He informed me that 'they' are suing me for $13,000 in court but if I want to settle it would be $499 that I have to pay immediately and if I don't pay it, there will be criminal charges against me. I went along with what he said and told him I had the money to pay it. He asked me if I had the money in cash or in my account. I told him cash. He proceeded to tell me that I needed to go to my nearest CVS/Ralph's (grocery store) and load the money onto a "Green Dot Card." I didn't even let him finish before I told him about the BBB and how I will be reporting them for scamming people out of their hard earned money. He hung up in my face.

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

Plus a PDF Affidavit is this the same Bob Carber that is a scammer any answers would be greatly appreciated

Karen -

>> any answers would be greatly appreciated   <<

Did you attempt to read the answers given by the previous, registered posters, who warned about this scam?

If you ever return to this thread, here is something you really should read!

A phone call, email or text or PDF message from a supposed debt collector is not legally sufficient evidence of debt.

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]

Source:
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Therefore, if that caller wants you to pay immediately, before you get the written validation notice via snailmail, or if the caller wants payment via green dot, Western Union, or other untraceable means, then the call is definitely not legitimate.

IF you wish to communicate with the supposed collector / creditor, visit  the following page, for example "Action Letters" to snailmail:

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:
