Claims to want you to call back attorney's office..good luck if you don't, rather threatening

caller is foreign and very threatening. won't say what the call is regarding. threatens to have police show up at your place of employment.

Caller is foreign and very threatening. Would not tell me anything about what the call was about. But did ask if I had an attorney.

Called left a very ominous scary threatening message something about calling back or having lawyer call back I called back couldn't hardly understand his accent and an officer will visit my place of employment and get me and take me to court and to have someone there to get me out. When asked why I wasn't notified he responded I was through email told him I wasn't and asked about phone calls as usual for bill collectors he had no response just kept repeating same thing.did not ask for any money though

About the same as everyone else is reporting except they called a business number not a home number. Messege did not ask for anyone specific.  Did anyone get a call where this person knew your name?

I got a very threatening voice mail requesting that I call or my attorney call back this number. i called the number back and it was a foreigner who said I was gonna be prosecuted for three counts of check fraud. he said I applied for a  payday loan and that money was deposited to my WellsFargo account (I have no Wells fargo account) and that they wanted their money back and could not get their money so they were filing criminal charges against me and contacting my employer. He got cused out.

I got same message from someone saying i got a payday loan and they prosecuting on check fraud this a scam i wish i could find these ppl wont give name Of company

Brad called and left me the same message as anyone else.  I am just ignoring the moron and not wasting my time or the government's money to return his call (he called me at work). If he calls again and I pick up I'll tell him I am working at a Federal installation and that his calls are being traced.  Should be interesting to see if he hangs up or not.  

this is a total scam.  they get your number from online application for a payday loan or advance.  They even have your banking information, but cant use it because they would be traced...so they tell you money needs to be sent by wire to a specific account.  it is quite hillarious and a shame that anyone would fall for this.  They have indian accents and the same office will call from many numbers.  dont bother reporting them.  Their numbers are scrambled and no way to trace them...just dont ever apply online for a loan again.

This man with a foreign accent called me, and said I was going to be prosecuted, but He refused to give me any details of his case!!!!!!  This is a fraud!!!!

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVER GIVE OUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.  That is what these 7/11 rejects are after.  If anyone entertains the call, out of fear of being prosecuted for something, they will also ask to verify it is you by giving them your SS#.  If you happen to fall for this, it is highly suggested you monitor your credit reports for identity thefts.
Months ago, when they realized I was on to their scam, they became very, very graphic.  they threated to sexually assault my mother and daughter. They know there is no way to trace them, so they get away with this stuff.  May they rot in hell.
This is a TOTAL SCAM and these clowns sit in their office all day hoping someone falls for this stuff...which, apparently, they do.

left a voice saying to call back  or have my attorney to call and wished me luck no other information was said

Just got the same call at home and work about a payday loan we have never had! BRAD called my husband at work with this crap. He asked if we had an attorney, my husband said he didn't need one he would contact the police and if they called him at work he would find him and kick his ass!

Been getting calls alll week from guys with a foreign accent telling me that I better call or have my attorney call them right away if not I will be sorry and all they can wish is that God help me.

This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

Read this investigative report ABC News did on this scam:

Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans have been targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers suspected of links to organized crime in India, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The calls are part of a massive scam, one that appears to target struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claim to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, have managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place.

"This is what we call a phantom debt collection scam," said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. "It's a very pernicious and innovative new fraud."

Working through call centers in India, the commission estimates that the criminals have dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some have reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. They are victims like Cindy Gervais, of New Orleans, who went online for a quick loan when her husband's car was hit by a driver who didn't have insurance.

Even though she paid the loan off, the so-called "phantom" debt collectors with Indian accents began calling to say she still owed money.

"He more or less told me that if I didn't pay, they were going to have someone on my doorstep to arrest me," she told ABC News. "And that they were going to contact my place of business, and tell them what kind of person I am."

At first, she said she resisted. Then the calls became more frequent, and started to ring on her cell phone, and at the grocery distribution company where she had worked for 27 years.

"I was more or less in panic mode because he told me there would be someone before noon at my place of business to arrest me and take me to jail," she said tearfully. "So I agreed to pay him."

After receiving scores of complaints, investigators with the FTC said they began tracking the calls, and following the payments. They alleged the payments led them to a California company run by an Indian-American named Kirit Patel, and that such scams would not be possible without American front men.

"I would say that all roads of this scam, or many of the roads of this scam, lead back to Mr. Patel," said the FTC's Leibowitz.

ABC News tracked Patel for weeks, from the suburbs of San Francisco to Austin, Texas.

Patel refused to talk. But his lawyer, Mark Ellis, said he believes it is far too early to pass judgment on his client. Ellis, a Sacramento-based attorney, told ABC News that Patel was hired for a nominal fee to set up an American shell company, and had no idea what the call centers in India were doing.

"I can tell you, he was as snookered by the people in India as anybody," Ellis said. "He's a 69-year-old man who is nearing his retirement who thought all he had to do was set up some corporations and everything was on the up and up. He's completely dismayed that he has become the lightning rod of this entire problem."

A close friend of Patel's also defended him in a brief interview at his home, saying Patel was not trying to defraud anyone -- he was just an unwitting, bit player in a larger scheme.

I received a call from the Criminal Justice Law Services of New York, asking for someone who didn't work here any more.  The caller stated it was very important and it was regarding their case in New York.  He had a foreign accent.  In the background it sounded like he was in a call center.

unwanted threatening phone call from phone number 315-515-4025

Just received a call from Kevin at Criminal Justice Legal Law Office. Says the attorney of record for my case is Mark Rothman. Told me I owe money to Advance America Cash Advance. While I do have a advance from them, it is done thru a branch office in my city. I told him I recorded the call and told him to serve me with the papers. I get this call about once a month from them. I let them know they can serve the papers and I will go from there. This call was by far the most pleasant call I have ever gotten from them. Nothing ever comes. Although I was a bit alarmed that he had my home address. I gave him a fake phone number and he still pulled my name up. I assume they have caller ID.

Im tired of this guy. Time to start having fun with it. Prank calls anyone? >;)

I just recieved a call from this Jack*ss and he threatened me on vmail. Scammmmmmmers!!!!
