recd a call from this number and they stated I have  charge against me about to be submitted to the court for $1800 for theft of funds from a payday loan. Total bull. I have not had any of these in over 7 years. Then I was told I could take care of this by making payments to them vs going through the courts. Once I said whatever and that this is a scam and they will be reported - they fool hung up.

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

Just got off the phone and being told that I took out a payday loan from a place called Payday Pro.  Never heard of them.  Said was taken out by  me in Jan 2013.  Not true.  First person I talked to said its felony changes since I took this "loan" out and they could not get the money back from my bank.  The scary thing is they have all my info yet I never took this out.  $1700 is the amount.  First call ended badly as I asked the amount and the address, he said I was getting rude and hung up.  Called back and the lady I talked to was nice and gave me all this info.  Said they were forwarding all this over to Clark County in Vegas and will go forward with charges.        

I just got a call from them saying that a case had been submitted against me and that if I do not return the call today the case will be forwarded to my county. Well, I would believe them if they hadn't of called a month ago with the same voicemail and I have yet to receive anything. Also, they cannot prosecute fraud. That is very hard to prove and it is just a scare tactic. Please don't send them any money unless you have received paper from a process server and verified these with the court.

I got a call from this number telling me i owe money to a pay day loan and i need to pay 1800.00 before they prosecute me for fraud . I told him i don't o'er anybody anything and hung up

I have been getting the call from this same number.  I haven't taken a payday loan from anyone. Not in 2013 or any other time.  I told the guy I just lost my job and I'm about to be homeless.  So go ahead an take me to court.  If I got to jail at least I will have a place to say and food to eat.  Not too happy about that.  Sorry, not just going to give them more information.  A payday loan or collection agency can not threaten to take you to court it is against the law.  The is a scam.  I have been getting these calls for years.  They won't give you their information to the company.  The number they give you is another person working within the scam operation to make you think it is real.

Calls once per day and does not leave a voicemail, claims they are from "PTI Services" and threaten with legal action over a non-existent payday loan.  Calls are now blocked.

I rec'd a recorded message from a James Allan of PTI Services stating I owed money for a payday loan I took out, of which I have never rec'd.

If they call you DO NOT give them money. This is a scam and the 2nd company to attack me with this.

First, if you're being sued, you'll receive papers via mail or summons, but never over the phone.

I'm trying to figure out who to contact at the FBI to slap cuffs on these thieves for scaring all of us.

I just got the same message. I get this call once a week and they are always different names but they say the same thing. One caller even said he was at my house. I was home and no one came by. I wish they would just stop calling.

Received a message from this company saying they were going to sue me if I didn't call them back and pay them for something I never owed. . I recorded the call and called them back and once they heard I had the call recorded and they had violated the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act, they hung up on me. I Called back 7 times and they hung up. then I got through to their recording and played their illegal message back on their recording to prove I had their message and I would sue them for violation of FDCPA. They seem to get afraid if they find out I know the law and how they violated it.

Y'all must think I'm stupid. First they called from an Ohio area code, then Pennsylvania, now local! Hilarious! Please be careful people. If you don't recognize the number, don't answer. And the whole spiel that they need to talk to your or your attorney of record is not how our justice system works. Keep hookin hoe!

VM James Allen PTI same messages as above been receiving calls from various #s, various people. They never say who they are calling for and when you call back NEVER get the same person who left the VM. Many times they have no clue who you ate talking about.  When I called back they asked for my name.  I told them they should know it they called me and they hang up.  These SCAMS are getting old.

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.
