A person with a middle east accent calls my number stating that my wife is in a legal problem and she needs to settle for $400.00 aprox. Who are these people? How can we stop this? Beware with this scammera.

I got a similar today, telling me I was wanted for fraud telling me to call or I would e arrested by the local police. This guy had an mid-eastern accent claiming to be a policeman. When I looked on my caller ID it said Private Name/Private Number

Whoever this person is has called my brother saying that I was involved in some type of internet fraud and a warrant would be issued for my arrest if I didn't call. I called them and asked for Officer Green, then I asked for a so-called attorney by the name of Kevin Thomas and they all seem to be the same [***] with a Middle Eastern accent they also have called from a 856,807,817,803 area codes. Whoever you are I hope they catch your [***] and hang you by your little Middle Eastern balls!

Yeah I got that same call rfom officer mark greeno... same situation. These [***]... I called the florida cops police department (computer crimes division) and he told me it was all just a scam. They cant even trace the number because its either a spoof number, or a random prepaid number.

I also got a call from Mark greeno and his attorney.  He told me taht I had done a cash checking fraud and that if I didnt want to get a warrant for my arrest to pay $431.00 or face the consequences.  What I did is called my local police station and took a report.  They told me if they call again to let them know that this is harrasment and Hang up.  they have called from a 975-186-1197 and 321-482-5007 he knew everything about me my social security and address how did they get this???

http://consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/09/fdic_debt_collector_scam.html  9/7/2010 -NEWEST CONSUMER ALERT –SCAMMERS NOW CLAIMING TO BE WITH FDIC

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):
1.    The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2.    Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.
3.    File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4.    File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.wvago.gov
5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden • Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
•    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
•    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
•    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
•    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

I also got a phone call from officer robert woods, im not sure how they got my info. has any one recently applied for a cash advance or used a unsecure wifi connection? I called back a threatened them that they would be in jail. Wonder if u go to pay them if they will meet u in person.

They called and left a msg on my cellphone threatening to arrest me and garnish my wages for fraudelent activity.  I have received bogus calls from them before and know it is a scam.  It is frustrating there is no way to track these people down or get them to stop.    I called back just to see what they would say and they wouldn't tell me what company they were with, just kept asking for my name and telephone number and i told them until you tell me what company you are calling from, I am not giving you any information and you can stop calling my phone and leaving ridiculous messages.  He hung up on me.   I'm sure he'll call again at some point.         I wish they could just get them to stop!

Mark Greeno has been calling my friends and family saying I owe $389.  He is telling them that they will have THEM arrested if I don't pay...I don't know why these people are harassing people close to me.  I lodged a complaint online with FLA attorney general's office.  
  This ass is costing me a friendship.
  I called HIM back several times, and was hung up on everytime I argued with him

I got a message on my cell phone , threatening to arrest me and garnish my wages for fraudelent activity.  I have received bogus calls from them before and know it is a scam.  It is frustrating there is no way to track these people down or get them to stop. I am very tired of getting these calls on my cell and at work, there have been several different phone numbers. The person who calls has an Indian accent. I have recieved calls also at my work. I have called an attorney, sherriff, and the security here at work. The one person who called I transferred to security, the security person told them to stop calling me at work, the indian person told security they were going to keep calling.
I'M VERY SICK OF THE HARRASHING PHONE CALLS. I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO GET THE CALLS TO STOP.

I just got a call at my home number saying I owed them $400.00  and that he was going to garnish my pay check. I told them to send me something in the mail and asked if he had my mailing address He hung up. After reading other post now I'm worried about what other info they have!!!

I got a call from these A holes. I told them to get F@#$%^%$d. I called the FTC, FBI and The Attorney Generals office.  They threatened me with arrest ,called my manager and tried to get her to give them  my info. Don't give them anything.

They called at 11pm! and said if I didn't return the phone call that same day (which makes no sense) that my wages would be garnished

I work in financial services and got a call from a customer today who said she got a call from Robert Wood at 321-482-5007 and reference account #PX619720 saying that she owed them 200 something dollars for an account with Midland Financial. I called the guy myself and he sounds indian/middle eastern and wouldn't give me any info and told me its none of my business and hung up. Total scam job.

I just received a call from this number (321 482-5007) telling me that they are going to get charged with bank fraud and they are going to call my employer and garnish my wages if i don't pay them $421. The guy on on phone sounded like Indian. I don't really know who this guy was. I would like to put an end to this as early as possible. What can i do to stop them.

I recieved numerous phone calls from a Robert Wood, claiming i owed some company named midland cash advance 1100.00 dollars and that my info was sold to him. he had my address dowen perfect. i hung up on him several times but he just kept calling back. finally i had a 3way conversation with him and my husband  and he threatened my life telling my husband that his wife ( me ) life would end in 6 days. my husband got very upset and Robert hung up. i then went to the police department and filed my report. this is insane. he had a very strong accent also went by the name mark greeno. there should be something people can do to file charges against this man. this is not okay. he needs to be charged with fraud. and sent to prison.

I received the same call as so many others today, from "Mark Greeno", telling me that he needed to hear from me today to keep from contacting my manager and garnishing my wages. I'd like to see him TRY! I work for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and it would be AWESOME if he attempted to garnish my wages!! Then maybe they could finally catch this scum! :)

I work in fee negotiation and got a call from Robert Wood Trevino Law Firm at 321-482-5007 and reference account #619720863 saying that I owed them 429.00 something dollars for an account with Midland Financial. I called the guy myself and he sounds indian/middle eastern and refused give me any information when I started to ask questions in detail then threaten to have me put in jail I stated not to ever call me again or I will report him to the local FBI an hung up on the call ( the call was completely recorded)

I received a call from #321-482-5007 - AT MY WORK!!!!! - a man named Robert Wood said he was calling on behalf of Midland Financial - that they deposited $300 into my account as a payday loadn in July of 2010, and that I owe $789.00 now.  I told him I never received a payday loan from anyone.  He stated this was a legal matter, that he was filing a PA Civil complaint, as well as filing a judgement against me, and also that he was filing criminal charges and they would have my paycheck garnished for repayment.   He knew my soc sec #, which is extremely disturbing.    I began asking questions, at which point I was hung up on.   So I called back  (after I looked the number up on-line and saw these postings)   I told "Robert Wood" that I knew this was a scam, and that I reported them to the police, FBI, and the state attorney.  He hung up on me.    CRAZY

I to received call on March 14 from Robert Wood. He said I also received 300 dollars from a pay day advance I informed him I never heard of Midland Financial he said that operate under 25 different business names. I asked him exactly which of the 25 did supposedly get my loan he could not tell me. So I asked him what day in July 2010 did this direct deposit take place he could not tell me. I asked what ssn he had and he told me and it was one number off the 3 times he said it. Three times I said that wasnt my ssn he never acknowledged it. He said I was sent emails to the email address I put on the application to try to collect the debt. He told me what email address he had on file. He also verified the bank I bank with. So I went to bank for bank statement for June, July, August of 2010 and checked for this mystery direct deposit of 300 dollars and to my surprise (lol) there was no direct deposit into my bank account. Then after thinking about it for some time it dawned on me that the email address he said I put on the application in July of 2010 was not even created till October 2010. So how in the world did I use that email before it was created. So many things dont make since about this. He also talked to my mother in law before me and stated that he had hers and my ssn. That I had given him her ssn. She said if I didnt contact him within 2 days he said he was going to prosecute her and garnish her wages. When I confronted him with this he said no she must have misunderstood I told her I have your ssn and in 2 days I will prosecute you and garnish your wages. After discussing this with him I hung up to call her to set her mind at ease because she had freaked out. Only to find out then that she has a recording on her answering machine from when he called the first time that day that confirmed that he did tell her that and he was being dishonest with me. I thought about saying screw it and just pay the 389 settlement he was offering but then again there are so many contraindictions and things that just dont make any sense at all that I should fight it. A little worried if I just paid it to make it go away if I will turn into a target for pricks and start getting these types of bs calls all the time. I really find it interesting that we pretty much had the same call with the same information on the same day. It just dont seem plausible for it to be legitiment. Whats the chances that two individuals who never meet get a 300 dollar loan in same month from same place and both of us not to pay it back and being agrivated by same individual who dont have really a clue of the details of the debt in question. Really interested to find out how your situation turns out since it is so much identical to mine. I will update post on here when things develop on my end. Good luck and hope you the best with this issue.
