215-621-8271

Caller ID says Marston & Associates - when you answer, it tells you they have been trying to contact you for your subpeana and hold to speak to your processor.  Well, considering I do not live in PA, I do not have a lawsuit against me and if a person is being subpeana'd - they don't call you.  On top of all that, I have never spoken to a processor, this is clearly a SCAM....Please don't fall into this trap.

I googled the name - No Marston & Associates in the PA 215 area code.

I got a  call from  this  # and they said calling about  my affidavit and  to press 1  to speak to  a sponsor.  well for   1 thing they  don't  ask for they person   they want to talk to and I'm not  pressing  1 for anyone and I surely don't live in Pa..  

I got a call yesterday and today from this number. The caller id said Marston and Associates and a woman left a voice message. It said you are being contacted by the office of Financial litigation and that you should contact them immediately at 215-621-8271. I have never heard of Marston so I am deleting this message from my phone and labeling them as fraud.

I hate these scammers they have so many numbers they call from

I just got off the phone with someone from this number and they have all of my information.. they have my date of birth, my bank account number, my social security number...everything. I don't know what to do about all of this. Any advice

Do NOT talk to these people.  They are scammers.  I have reported them to the Attorney General and have put them on notice of such.  They had all of my information as well.  Scary.  

Same thing - left message saying from the office of litigation and to call them back  blah blah blah.....Ridiculous.   These scammers get info from online loan companies etc.... and need to be shut down permanently!     Don't answer!  Also googled and no such law/litigation number in Philly,PA.....

I just got off the phone with this number they told me the same as above when I asked them why they would want to go to court then get the money then all of a sudden  I could pay I asked how much they said my bill was 1700 but they would settle for 762. a down payment of 362 and two payments of 208. I was so distraught and crying because they have all my information and I didn't know what to do. I told them I would call back when I got the money.  They said to make sure I call by 3pm tomorrow.  I am glad I came on here and research this number or they would have gotten the money out of me. It is so scary that they had all my information.

One important thing to remember if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

**Invest in a good call blocking device also. These extortion scam operations can be very viscous with the phone calls.  Also google your name and phone number, make sure anyplace such as Spokeo that shows up, make them remove your information. There are places that show relatives as well.

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.

I've had this happen to me too. Call your local police department and report it and report it to the credit bureaus. If they call again or you can call them tell them that you've reported it and give them the case #

I've reported them also to the local police so I have a paper trail. The police recommended that I call the credit Bureau as well

Most likely debt scammers.

Total scam.  Do not talk to them, do not give them any information and DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!

I recognize the robo-caller when I called that number.  The same hard-nosed, slightly irritated voice I've heard on similar calls.  I think these people are located in Texas.  They go around telling people they are part of the "Fraud" investigation division.  Of what, they never say.  Another thing they do is pretend they work for the local county as check fraud 'Processors".  They try to intimidate people they think might be vulnerable.  They use vague threats of  "check fraud" and possible criminal prosecution.  If they call you tell 'em you're reporting them to FBI and state attorney general.  

I received a call yesterday from Office of Financial Litigation (215-621-8271), the person told me that I owe $1000 plus becuase I received a $400 payday loan into my checking account by Nov 27, 2012 that I didnt pay back. They said that the collector company was trying to reach me but I never answered so they want me to go to jail and have to pay all the lawers and court expenses that sum more than $1000.00. I asked for the name of the company that they say gave me the loan. I called my bank and confirmed that I never received a $400 loan from that company and I also called the company and they said that i should ignore the call becuase is an error. I call back the office of financial litigation and they said that they dont undersatand why the loan company said it was an error becuase they have my information in the computer saying that i owe that amount of money and I need to pay it or ill go to jail. They have my address, personal info and account num.

Them telling you  that you will go to jail is clear evidence they are nothing but scammers. You do not go to jail for unpaid debt and any debt collector who says you are is violating Federal law.  Ignore all calls from them and do not call back and argue.

I have been receiving these scam calls for years and it is such a neusance. They always have all of my info and the only thing I have been advised to do is file a claim with the Federal Trade Commission. These people use disguised numbers to call and fake names but are usually calling from out of the country. I have gotten to the point where I just don't answer any calls that I don't know the number.

I have noticed that once I tell them I reported them to the FTC that they get hostile and eventually start calling again from a different number. Never the less it helps to let them know you are taking action.

My girl got a call from this number today saying that she owed money and if she didn't pay by three o'clock that paperwork would be sent to the courts. Said she owed 1700 but would take 500!!! Needless to say she was quite upset and crying. I just got off the phone with them and went BONKERS on them. The guy told me that the three o'clock deadline passed but she can still send the 500 by tomorrow morning ten O'clock. Definite scam!!! I asked him if I Google 215-621-8271 would financial litigation appear? He told me..... It should but he wasn't sure. No such thing as I Googled it. Glad I did because it brought me straight here and I see all the comments saying that these miscreants are scammers. I told my girl ignore the calls from here on in.
