Called looking for my friend about a criminal investigation with the state of Texas. I don't know if this is a scam or not. I haven't called them back.

They called me and said I had a cash advanced off of an account that I closed out 6 years ago.  Never the less said I had a 700 dollar cash advanced.  I have never had a 700 dollar cash advanced.  

Called my number, left vm, and my friends ex boyfriends looking for me. I have no idea how his number got involved in this. Said it was concerning a lawsuit against me, no more information than that. I researched their website. Their attorneys are not a member of the State Bar of Texas as stated. In fact, I can't find their attorneys at all. They are also not accredited by the BBB as stated on their website.

I'm furious.

This company has contacted me on my cell... Where they got that I will never know. Stating that I was about to have felony charges placed against me for non payment of a payday loan obtained from the internet in October of 2011. They wanted to clear the issue without going to court so I could pay the collection department by debit card that day 835.00. I have never done any such thing ad I would not randomly give my debit card over the phone. Really!!!!! I asked them to send me official documentation of this via certified mail. They refused flat out and since 2011 really!!!!!
If you receive a call from Ross & Peterson beware!!!!! make them send official documentation before you do anything.
Ross & Peterson 281-306-0346 Beware!

Please do report them to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General - you were right not to entertain your caller's nonsense!

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.

There are calling me : 3 and 4 times a day and calling my ex husband that has nothing to do with it there calling at night also

I am a collection agency owner. I looked up this number because they were contacting my accounts. Long story short, the guy who sold me the accounts also sold them to these people.  I'm in now way crediting this company but you guys should also try to figure out who they bought the accounts from. There was no way for me to know that someone else had the file also.

Received a call from this place. They left a voicemail threatening action with a state attorneys office. Did not leave any additional information. I have no idea who tey are or why they chose me to harass.

thanks for the info. I will never return their calls.

Thanks for the info. I wish a lot more people would look them up and see all of the info they can get no them, before hey get scared and pay them. Some older people would get scared. Me I just laugh at these calls.

I returned home a few minutes ago and my family members were in a panic saying I was about to be arrested for criminal charges. My aunt, who lives over 600 miles away had a vm on her phone from Ross and Peterson saying I had 24 hours to respond before charges were filed. I have no idea how they tracked down an aunt and gave all of MY information to someone other than me. I filed Ch 7  bankruptcy last year and any creditors I had on my credit report are gone. I have no idea what company they are representing but I wish it would stop.

This company called threat of jail for bad check on payday loan. I do not nor have I had a payday loan. I checked TX state bar no attorneys listed  beware I believe this is a scam I'm glad I did my research.
