319-248-5310

Sayin that i need a lawyers

Received message stating either myself or my attorney needs to call the number. If don't call, message states that I would wave my right to an attorney. Just a generic recording without my name or a case number. I owe nothing to anyone and am def not being sued. Annoying that these scum use scare tactics to get a reaction. Good luck people. My advice is to ignore. - caller: 319-248-5310 on 2/1/16

Received message stating either myself or my attorney needs to call the number. If don't call,  I would  wave my right to an attorney. ,I called back and asked to be taking off their calling list , She stated it must have been removed already and give it up to 48 hrs to be completely removed out off their system  , that's  odd considering I just called , they had no name ,case #... complete scam !!!!!!!!  and by the way when I called back I did not use my own phone fyi lol

Received same message from same number, person calling Victoria Stevens, cannot understand who she is calling from! Ignoring the call!

I received the same voicemail from Victoria Stevens. She mentioned a company she was calling from, but it conveniently got garbled so that all I understood was the last word. She siad she's calling from " - - Intervention". Obvious scam.

Do not call me any more, cops are already on you and also my lawyer

800notes is not affiliated with your callers, we are not calling you either. 800notes is a forum for reporting who calls you and any information you may have about the call to share with other forum users. It is highly doubtful that your callers are reading here also. We can't stop anyone from calling you either or remove from a list.

*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.

*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

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.

Our "usual" Pakistani/Indian scammers apparently picked up shop from the subcontinent and moved to Iowa.

Same scam, different spoofed phone number.  (New number!)

Except now with an American accent.

Received a threating message saying i need an attorney

Most like the term used was "pre-trial intervention".  Basically a debt scammers term mean to scare you.  Pre-trial intervention is used in criminal cases, to avoid a trial if possible in a criminal matter.  It has nothing to do with civil matters.  Ignore these calls and block them.  Anytime you see or hear the words "pre-trial itnervention" you know it is a debt scam, pure and simple.  No idea who these people are.

Same as everyone else posted. I owe no one. They really are idiots and use language to scare people.
