469-518-9152

scam scam scam

i just recieved a call from this number. They left a message saying," The very second you receive this message, I need you or your attorney to return the call. It is extremely time sensitve. My name is Adam Peterson, and the hotline to my division is 469-518-9152, Don't disregard this message. If you don't return the call, or I don't hear from your attorney either the only thing I can do is wish you good luck in this situation." I have called them to ask what this was and he read off all my information and told me I was going to get arrested. When I asked him to fax me a copy of the paperwork in front of him, he got mad and hung up on me. SCAM,SCAM, SCAM

I just got a call from this number and was told that I was being arrested in two days for a week because someone illegally used my name as a reference for a loan. What the hell? They sounded Indian because of the thick accent and when I got upset he'd just say "oh my god". I want to smack him! If I just paid a balance of $796 he'd call off the subpoena. Crap.

Yeah he hung up on me too. These jerks need to stop playing games like this.

Yep I had the same thing. A guy couldn't hardly speak english calling from a law firm. That monday I will be arrested because of a lawsuit with a pay day loan that I didn't pay. I said this is a scam I hope the cops come and get me and they will be after you next. I said a lawyer isn't gonna hire people that don't speak english you scammer take me off your list and I hung up.

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.

Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

That number called me today at my job

They called my job today... said the same thing first indian same spill about. When I told him he was in india he got mad and said he will be at my job monday morning ready to arrest me. I think they got my info from one of those payday loan sites. I should have never filled that thing out

Got the same call said his name was Michael Davenport and that I didnt pay a payday loan and I needed to paid $697.23 or my local authorities were going to be notified and I was going to be arrested at my job or my home.i was totally freaked out. The number that called was 469-518-9152 after the call I tried calling back and it was a  non working number...these sorry pieces of crap need to be taught a lesson. This AMERICAN girl works to hard for her money for some Indian ( non english speaking prick) to try and steal it from me..

Smh they called my job yesterday telling me the same thing and that I was going to be arrested on Monday. I was so freaked out so I hung up and called my attorney right away and he told it's scam and don't worry about it but I still wanted him to call. So he called them directly and they couldn't give him info so my attorney stated call her again and the cops will be after you.. Mannn I was so freaked out and they need stop playing with people's life. [***]😒

-debt collector

I have the same thing....the whole spill about me not paying and to return the call immediately. I asked for them to send me an email with the information in which I was being sued over. They did not. Then they told me to go to gas station and get a card to load money onto it. They have called my work. I explained to the man with thick accent that I am willing to pay what I owe after I receive a letter or email explaining the lawsuit. He stated that after I pay the attorneys will then send me a letter as a receipt. I also told him that normally when a lawsuit is being granted against someone they are served with papers from a sheriff......scam.....had me in tears

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
