Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “spoofed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit against you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”.

“I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.

“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

Same as above.  The gentleman called over 5 times in 2 hours and wont give up.  Reporting him to the police in the morning.  He is a fake do not pay him!!!!

Guy by the name of Alex Cooper 321-285-2015 called and said he was with First Credit Protection services!  Said I hadn't paid back a cash advance loan and were going to have me arrested.  Had my SS# and wanted me to verify it.  I wouldn't and hung up.  He called 7 times before I picked up again and gave him an attys name.  He didn't want it just for me to handle this matter with him.  I again asked him to leave me alone.  I called the number he gave me only for another person to answer with can I help you!  I am worried that he has my info.

A John Brock called me and said that I had taken a loan out with United cash Loan in the amount of 300.00 on 08/13/09.  He had all of my information.  what can I do to stop these people from calling me.  He will call my cell phone and if I do nto answer they will call me at work.  Some one need to make them stop.

Today I received a call on my job from the number listed above.  When I asked who was calling, they kept asking me to verify my name.  I refused.  He then commenced to tell me that he was Officer Clay Wilson and he was investigating a crime of which my name attached.  He said it was a legal issue against me.  Later I returned the call and the same person that had called initially answered and I asked what the name of the company was.  He refused to tell me and continued to tell me that I needed to tell them my name.  I again refused.  He said something to the affect, well maam, it is your problem now that you wouldn't provide me with the information needed to tell me who you need to talk to in our  business.

I work in a law firm and I have received calls from clients who are constantly being attacked by these callers. We tell them to contact the police and the AGs office. These people cannot arrest you! They are not officers!

this guy called me 4 times back to back then left a message with a very heavy accent threatening me that I was going to be arrested if I didn't return his call. I called back to see who it was and now they're not answering. why are people allowed to do this?

Same here.  The story repeats itself.  They call non stop.

They called us 8 times.  Threatened jail and criminal offense.  Left messages.  I actually heard the guy say "YESSS" in the background right as I was about to pay them.  That's what actually changed my mind.  We've declared bankruptcy, so this should be covered under that, anyway, but it seems as though this isn't even a legit debt.  When I asked him about it, he claimed that it was not covered under a bankruptcy.  When I further asked him about it, letting him know that ONLY federal and student loans were not covered under bankruptcy, he just pushed forward with the threats.  They were asking for $485 payable by the end of the month otherwise, we'd go to court TOMORROW.  This guy had the same heavy Indian accent and, this time, called himself "Zack Rodgers".  Typical Middle Eastern name?  I think not.  We know you guys are scammers, so leave us the hell alone, or we will be forced to take legal action.

Oh my goodness...I'm so glad I researched this number. They have been calling my employment nonstop, being extremely rude, calling and harrassing me constantly crank calling too. I'm getting all kinds of threats as far as jail and going to court. This is ridiculous. I even tried looking up the so called company which he said was KS investigations, with an address of 221 N. Hogan St in Orlando, FL with a supervisor name of John Brock...I had the same issue last week with a Jason Storm. They refuse to send any info through the mail. This is bull.
