469-582-0387

This Rick Parker is from Dallas Texas.  He said he is from Crime Prevention.  He told me I had 3 accounts of criminal charges: 1) violation of bank regulation, 2) check fraud and 3) Theft by Deception.  He said they will send someone after me on Monday to arrest me or take me to court.  

He said I took out a loan and the money was deposited to my account on Oct 8, 2009.  I went to a Personal Banker at my bank and she found NO tranactions (deposits) on that date!  

Because "I never paid that loan back" (that I never recieved), I now owe like $1000.  

This "Rick Parker" knows my address, my SS#, my employment address and friends contacts.  

I made a police report and gave them the name and telephone # (469)582-0387

I just recieved the same call twice. Im pissed they know all my info some how. whats up with this crap??

just got a call from this number again. nancy jones turned me over to her supervisor who is rick parker and he states i owe money from 2009. he had all my personel info and i told him we know you are a scam and i owe no money to any one. not sure where to go from here,but maybe they will stop calling now. i was very rude and ugly on the phone.

I got a call from this number on my work line. She said her name was Nancy Jones and that I had gotten myself into some legal trouble but that she couldn't discuss it on my voicemail. Last time I checked people in India didn't name their daughters Nancy and their last names sure as hell aren't Jones. I had a call from a different number, same accent, "Danny Cooper" talking about how the "situation was going to unfold upon me". His accent changed 3 times in the message. When he called and I picked up I ripped him a new one. I reported him because it is a scam. And besides, even if I did actually owe them money when was the last time anyone was arrested in the country for not paying their bills? Other than to the IRS that is? They can't threaten to have you arrested. That is even one of the questions when you are reporting them.

I've gotten the exact same calls... saying I'm in legal trouble and I will face serious charges... they won't give me any details about anything..I started getting these calls about 2 wks ago on my cell phone..and now they're calling my work... I have no clue who these people are and I know for a fact I've committed no crime..They are starting to really piss me off!!!They have all my personal info... this is crazy!!!! The guy says his name is Johnny Cooper ...but speaks in an Indian accent.

I got the same phone call as everyone above only the second voicemail they left me they told me they were "trying to help me". I spoke to this person while I was at the bank and could check everything against what they were saying. I'll be filing a police report in the morning.

the same exact thing has been happening to me the lady name is Nancy and word for work as you put it and they have all my information, wow. Thats some crazy stuff. i am not sure what to do but report it

OMG I have been getting the same calls!!! It is soo scarey that they have all my personal info! So what do we do??? Change our bank acct info. And who do you report it too! Like the police don't have alot to do already!! I'm really stressed out!

OMG. I received the same phone call from a RIck Parker, stating that I have 3 charges against me, and that if I didn't settle this by the end of the day, I would be arrested & lose my job. He called my work plus my son. He asked me if I had a lawyer, I should probably get one, reading or telling me this a so called affadavit he had. Supposedly, I had a bill that I was running away from and the company had been trying to get in touch with me by phone/e-mail, which none of it is true. I called the credit card company & luckily nothing had come through & they were going to report it stolen/lost. Luckily my son googled the number and found out it was a scam, after this guy thoroughly blew my out of the water, with the threats of being arrested & losing my job & then had the gall to say have a nice day. I reported this incident to my state attorney general & filled out a form to the Fraud division of my state. How can thsese people get away with this? Where's it going to end? I'm really paranoid now, looking over my shoulder, very leary about every phone call I might answer at work & my home,

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.

Please file complaint with the FTC http://www.ftc.gov then copy and paste that report to the Texas Attorney General's office at either http://www.oag.state.tx.us/ or email them at: public.information@oag.state.tx.us

If all of you do this, they will take action immediately, but if only a small few do it, not likely that much will happen.

Also one of their other numbers s 469-582-0388. They refused to speak with me and told me that they were putting me through to their legal dept. They simply put me on hold and then hung up (x3).
