B.S call talking about a affidavit that dont exist for some loan that i never took out... super scam

Rec'd same call as above, told him what he could do to himself and he hung-up,  lmao!

hi have been getting calls and calls from this number and they are talking about i owe them money and i didnt even get the money they supposedly sent me on my H&R Block card and they called the card and tried to take the money out and realized there wasnt any money. What should  me and my wife do about this? Please email me at Mrs_Lewis228@yahoo.com please let me know..

I just got a call from them tonight also, need to know if I shoud contact a lawyer or not???? Saying I got money that I did not get, through a pay day loan.....

They called me too. Saying i got a loan from a pay day site and never paid it back, but couldnt give me an account number associated with me, or a date when i supposedly received this loan!

They called me too.  Saying I got a loan and never paid it back and they were going to sue me.  When I asked what company I supposedly got a loan from they said it was a conflict of interest to give me that information.  I asked them what company they were calling from 3 times and they said they were going to hang up on me.

I too have received several phone calls from these [***].  This has been going on for about 4 weeks now.  Today, I busted them out for being scam artists, needless to say... they were not happy and imagine this..... immediately lost their foreign accent.  They use the names Charles White, Craig and Ashley.  They also use several numbers.... this is the most recent... 408-837-0495,   it will also come up as a international number 0114088370495 (see the resimbulance), They use the companies:  California Atty's Office, Cash Advance of America, Instant Cash USA. They have several individual names as well as, company names and telephone numbers.  Don't buy into....its BS.

They just called me and his name is Brandon Waston stating I owe $950.00 from The Law Group of California. He said I owe for a payday loan and that I will have to pay $5,000.  He could not provide me with any information.  I think this is a scam.

I just got the same call.

I got a simuliar call today on my job numerous times from these same scammers saying that I received a loan I asked what did was the loan disbursed all they could say was it went into collections in June so it had to be sometime before June and then I asked the exact amount of the loan i supposedly i received from them and they couldn't tell me that either but with all the late fees etc. I now owe 910.56 and if me or my attorney didn't contact them by the end of business someone would come to my job, take me down to the courthouse (WHAT??? GET SERIOUS) and i would eventually be out of 8,000.00 I asked them where did they send the money to they say METABANK I do not own a checking or savings account I only have prepaid visa card with METABANK on the back whixh you can not have loans disbursed onto and another thing the account number they gave me I called Metabank and they advise dme that was an invalid account and their account number are not that short and advised me of the correct numbers and people to contact to put the sammers out of business.

I have received these calls at work too.  I called them back and she said that I got a loan.  I asked her if she could fax the information to me and she said no.  I explained to her that she could email me the affidavit since this is a lawsuit against me.  She knew things about me and this concerns me.  She also stated that she would have her investigators come to my house, and hung up.  What is the scam to this.  I looked up the number and it came up as a CA #.  Is this a cover up for an international number?  Is there an organization that we can call regarding this?

I have received several calls from these people for 2 yrs now they have been claiming they were going to come & arrest me as well as report me to my employer for check fraud. I've tried several time to get info from them they refuse to give it claiming i needed to call my local courthouse to get the case #. So i decided to report them to Georgia Office of Consumer Affairs then the calls stopped for awhile now they calling again saying they need my attorneys info advised them i didnt believe them now they are saying they are calling in reguards to the federal fraud prevention act.I'm sorry but i refused to change my # so now I'm going to report them to the Federal Trade Commission these people need be stopped

Hello:

Today is Friday August 27th 2010, and I just recieved a phone call from this line also..saying it was in my interest to call them or.....

I called back and with their think accents did not even know who I was...I started getting call from people like this from different numbers but the language is the same, if I do not call or pay I will be arrested. The worst call I got was at my job...and my immediate supervisor said " who are these people"

NO one has mentioned heavy accents?    Could be this SCAM ?

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.

Thanks for all of your information:

I just printed it up from your reply on Aug 19th..thanks again

Received call stating Law Office of California.  Today is 8/31/2010.  They wouldn't tell me who they represented, only that the sheriff would be out tomorrow to arrest me since I had neglected to respond to the numerous emails I never received.   I called the Sheriff Dept and was told no such thing would happen.. I suspected this was related to a payday loan never accepted nor received, since I got a similar call a few weeks ago.   I called them back, they actually answered. They confirmed this related to a payday loan.  I advised them that considering they were scammers, the only arrest that should be made should be them.  He hung up, hopefully never to be heard from again.

I received the exact same call just a few minutes ago. These people said the same words to a tee. Although, we did file bankruptcy and when he said I had all these outstanding things, we do. We filed all these things on our bankruptcy report. I am so glad that I got alittle suspicious and looked online because it actually scared me. On one of the mnay calls that he kept making over and over he actually threatend me an my life, my kids and husbands lives. I got so scare taht I called my husband at work. Wow, never been apart of soemthing like that before....CRAZY!

I got 2 messages from these unintelligable middle eastern speaking "people". Threat after threat. 1st they tell me that they are calling from a legal office and when I tell "jessica smith" or "william jones" and when I ask what legal office they talk over me and never answer.  Then eventually they tell me they are calling from "Crime Prevention Department"! I informed "william" yesterday that I know this is not true and using a federal government agency to collect a debt is illegal and demanded his information to report him to the fedearl government and local authorities because I am a law enforcment officer amazingly he hung up!!! SHOCKER!!!

I just received one of these calls and he had me in tears!!!!!!  I have a paid day loan that I defaulted on but they couldn't tell me what company it was from.  When he agreed that I could make 2 payments, he then told me I had to fax over a NOTARIZED LETTER with a copy of my SSN card or drivers license.  Thank GOD I didn't do it and checked here first!!!  Thank you everyone!

PS I spoke with a "Angie Jones" and a "Jack Lawson".

I got the same phone call I went right to the police they told me don't worry about it ...that it was a scam and they can't do a thing b/c they don't have ur account info .....also he told me his name was Neil Johnson I have yet seen a "foreigner" with the name Neil Johnson!!!! I called him back and let him have a few choice words and all he could say was i know you are like a little kid~!!!!!!! Scamm scamm scamm!!! Call ur phone provider and have the numbers blocked as I did
