301-562-4941

called saying i owe a payday loan. they said they plan to have a warrant out for my arrest and immediately asked if i had a lawyer as if ive already been made aware of the "case".
i called my bank to ask if in fact i made such a transaction. there is no record of any payday loan.

"fraud" fraud fraud fraud.
watch out

Scam.  Total scam.  Do not even return a call or talk to anyone.  Ridiculous that these people exist to scare people and give them money.  They know most people don't have an attorney and will prob. call them back themselves.  LAME!

My wife said they called her saying I was in serious trouble. I called this number she wanted my information I said here is my attorneys name, told her I had her number pullrd up online she hung up on me. I wanted to say thanks for your posts.

Yep fraud litigation services....saying that I have three charges against me....and I don't even own a checking account....

Keep calling and very rude people

Received message on cell phone from 301-562-4941.  I checked this number on Google and found this to be a often reported scam.  I listened to the message and they said to call back to another phone number again threatening litigation for unpaid loan.  The number they had me call back was 301-850-1181.

Received a message from this number and they stated that they were the "Financial Litigation Services and this is the 2nd attempt to obtain your attorney's contact information."  They told me to "return this phone call promptly to 301-850-4181."
The lady failed to leave her name and also failed to state mine.

Left a few messages.  I called back and they said I had an outstanding payday loan from 2012 and that 3 charges were being pressed against me.  Of course this made me freak out.  I had to come up with 1100.00 by that day 5:00 to avoid charges against me.  I talked to them some more and asked if they took the payments, they said no a 3rd party would on a secured line.  I called back stating I could not pay that and asked a few more questions.  He then said he would give me till next Friday to come up with 1/2 the money to be able to make a pmt arrangement.  I was so confused.  I called my mom in  panic, got her all shook up and me shook up of course! Who wants to be a felon?!  Fraud?!  wth?  I was so glad to read the other comments here!!!!
Numbers used: 301-562-4941 - Cole Trickler & the caller ID shows 301-907-3941.  Grrrrrr

Phony people using scare tactics on folks who have paid their loans off months ago...Financial Litigation services shows up on bunco lists in Maryland and Virginia.

Financial Litigation services is a scam operation outside of Bowie/Bethesda, Maryland. The number is traceable, but a detective in Bethesda told me on the phone that there are at least 50 complaints from around the country for strong-armed tactics they use. In other words, they are being investigated for federal wire fraud and organized crime tactics. They will call you from 301-562-4941 and a nasal-toned Valley Girl wannabe will try and scare you into calling this number. It's a scam and once you bend in to the veiled threats, your wallet deflates by thousands.

Yes keep getting these calls. Saying they want my attorney info. About a payday loan that I never took out!!!

Keeps calling and sending emails about a payday loan I never took out. Threatening me!!

I received a call from 301-562-4941, they did not leave a name of who they were looking for. I googled the number to find out it comes from a number in Silver Springs, MD. As I see from the other post it is a scam. Thank you for this info

Also, like the rest of the people in above listings, I got a call from the number, 301-562-4941 claiming to be Financial Litigation Services and that it was their 2nd attempt to contact me.  Have not nor do I after reading posting plan on calling these crooks.  I and my 79 year old Father was already taken by this type of scam to the tune of $1900 plus.. They threatened to have my father arrested, he freaked out, scared that I and himself he paid them , just to get rid of this issue. Not one company did this to him, but 2. One charged over $912 to his card and the other charged him $789.  For just a $100 and $300 payday loans that he was not aware of and had nothing to do with.  These crooks will look into relatives and friends, anyone that will pay them.  No more, his and my number is on DO NOT CALL list.  Thank you for the heads up.

The Do Not Call list is useless with these people.  I have been routinely checking on line since last year for all these scams and I have come up with at least 25 scammers using the exact same tactics to steal your money.  First of all, even if you did take out a payday loan that you did not pay back, YOU WILL NEVER BE ARRESTED!!!  EVER!!!!  There will be NO sheriff or law enforcement officer coming to your door if you don't pay by 6 pm!!  The collection company will contact you by mail and give you the name of the original issuer of the loan, the exact amount you owe, when you took out the loan, and MOST IMPORTANTLY  an address and telephone number for you to contact.

There are ALL scams, each and every one of them!!  I know, because I receive phone calls or emails from these morons at least once a week under different bogus company names and phone numbers!!  So please people, do NOT be intimidated. If you do happen to pick up your phone and get one of these thieves, just tell them to their faces that they are scumbag scammers and are reporting them to the FTC, FBI, and your local law enforcement agencies.  DO NOT BE AFRAID!! Believe me, they WILL stop.  Good luck !!

Being in debt is not a crime.  You can't be arrested for ordinary civil debt.  Only the district attorney or other public prosecutor can file criminal charges.  Debt collectors have nothing to do with criminal charges.  This is a common scam.   Threaten you with criminal charges to collect a civil debt.  Unlawful too.  

Report them to your local attorney general.

File a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime webpage     http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

Got to your local police and make a complaint for extortion.  This is a total scam.  Do not talk to them, do not return their calls.  Do not pick up on numbers you don't recognize.

If you haven't already done so.  Go to the police and make a complaint for extortion.   Go back to the bank and see if the transactions can be reversed for fraud.
