407-506-0424

Basic context of message, noting strong Indian (India, not Native American) accent, where *something* means I couldn't understand what was being said:

This message is for ***.  D**, this is Jeff Jerry calling from Financial Crimes Division.  It is a very urgent and *something for you.  One of your friends with the name, T** M**, *something* your name and number for doing a fraud activity. Now, you both are in a big legal mess, so before we go any further and take any legal actions against you both, you give me a call or just tell you friend T** M** to call me as soon as possible. The number of my division is 407-506-0424.  I repeat 407-506-0424.  If I do not receive your call, then it will be taken that you both are trying to run away from this legal matter, then I can say both of you Good Luck.

same call same information also ask me to call 407-506-0424

This message is for ***.  D**, this is  from Financial Crimes Division.  It is a very urgent and *something for you.  One of your sister with the name, B*b *something* your name and number for doing a fraud activity. Now, you both are in a big legal mess, so before we go any further and take any legal actions against you both, you give me a call or just tell you sister B*b to call me as soon as possible. The number of my division is 407-506-0424.  I repeat 407-506-0424.  If I do not receive your call, then it will be taken that you both are trying to run away from this legal matter, then I can say both of you Good Luck

I got a similar message from this clown that tries to intimidate people into believing that it is a legitimate call and the result of a pending legal matter.  The language that you quote DDH, is identical to the message that was left for me.

Called me at work.  Threatened a co-worker that if I didn't call back she would be arrested.  He claimed to be an "investigater." I work in a courthouse with Judges and lawyers and I told this guy, who had heavy Indian (India) accent that in America we don't have debtor's prison and if he was an investigater and wanted to come to my office, I would be glad to have someone talk to him. I knew there would be no warrents.  He started to scream at me. I repeatedly asked for info on why calling me. He would not answer me and hung up.

Google the TV show NBC Dateline to see about what stunts this scum will try. It will open your eyes.

I just happened to see that show about a week or so ago so I wasn't even too upset.  The calmer I was and by repeatingly asking him why he was calling, just made him madder and madder.  He would give me no information at all so I suspect he won't be calling me back. He kept throwing out the terms, bank fraud, internet fraud, mail fraud. I laughed because I knew I have never committed any bank fraud.

I had a call today apr 9th from this same guy. I called the federal trade commission at 1-877-382-4357 and started a case on him. Anyone can call and do the same thing

i got a call from that guy a few minutes ago.. what is it for? is it some kinda scam?

some man called and left a message i couldnt understand him very well.. but i think he said his name was james white.. and said i had a current  leagal issue  from finincal crime division and he needed to talk to me right away and couldnt leave any information on a voice mail. and if i dont return his call it will be taken that im trying to run away. He said to return his call at 407-506-0424

couldn't understand the guy,..he was yelling and making threatening demands about something asking me why i left my contact information or something to that nature..unsure..language was definitely not English..foreign language

This number has been calling us all day today at our BUSINESS trying to talk with one of our employees following the same script that others have stated. He called back and became agressive...she is calling the FTC immediately and her bank!
What a low life!

This guy just called her in Michigan 407-598-0288. Same message new number. Watch out

WALLINGFORD, CT, August 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about would-be debt collectors who call "payday" loan holders, threatening arrest if they don't pay immediately.

A payday loan, also known as a paycheck advance, is a short-term cash advance intended to cover expenses until the holder's next payday.

The callers claim they are lawyers with the "Financial Accountability Association" or the "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans," and they are armed with stolen personal information from their victims, indicating a major security breach of unknown origin. The names used by the scammers may change with time.

According to Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, payday loan holders appear to be particularly at risk.

"Because the scammers have so much information about potential victims, BBB is concerned that this may be the result of a data breach. Thousands of people may have had their personal information compromised."

Reports received by Better Business Bureau and posted online explain the con artists threaten the loan holders of defaulting and claim they are being sued. The imposters threaten the loan holders with imminent arrest and extradition to California to stand trial, unless they immediately wire $1000 or provide bank account or credit card information.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau has advice for consumers who receive suspicious telephone calls about an outstanding debt:

-Don't be bullied into immediate action. Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation that substantiates the debt.
-Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the telephone until you confirm the legitimacy of the call.
-If you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you, file an abuse complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) online at www. ftc.gov, or by telephone at (202) 326-2222. Also file a complaint with your Better Business Bureau at http://www.bbb.org or by telephone at 203-269-2700, ext. 2.
