This is a scam.  Please do not fall for it.  If you're reading this, Mr. Wellvisher, we're on to you!  In fact, we're doing a press release to advise consumers to report you to the Attorney General and, above all else, do not release any information to you.  You need to get a credible job and stop preying on hard-working Americans.

From Lamet's post:

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:

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “spoofed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit against you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”.

“I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.

“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.

To register a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division, call 1(800) 432-2310 or visit www.ksag.org.

Typical loan fraud call.  Claiming un-paid internet loan.  Trying to get information from me.

Indian man left a message for me stating he was from the department of "law and investigation" and if I don't call him and pay my debt (that doesn't exist) than the responsibility will fall into my hands! Don't succumb to this naïve rouse conjured by a man with no credentials, answering machine,or valid company name. Even if you owe a debt, collection in this manner is illegal in all 50 states.

I received a call from an "Officer James Walker" from the Office of Law and Investigations.  He told me this was regarding an urgent matter that I should not disregard the call.  His callback number was 518-565-0306.  

I returned a call and the same individual answered only with a different name this time.  He seemed to know who I was and asked me repeatedly to verify my name.  I inquired about exactly what type of "officer" he was, the nature of his call, the name of his organization, etc.  When it became clear that he wasn't going to gain any information from me, he became enraged, cursed at me and hung up.

Oddly enough I had another voicemail from the same individual but the message was intended for someone else.

Clearly either scammers or a collection agency utilizing illegal tactics.  Either way, give them no information and don't bother returning calls to them.

Scam Scam Scam and a new number they are calling from 315-294-9472. If the posts we all put on here help even one person that means less money for you. I hope that someday you get what you deserve.

This person called me today and left me a voice message saying if I did not call him back I would be in load of legal trouble.  He also requested my social security number.  I did call him back and he answered "hello" and I told him who I was and that he had just left a nasty message on my phone and I wanted to know his name, his company, his phone # and his manager's name, so I could turn them in to the Better Business Bureau because I knew they were a scam.  He hung up on me.

This happened to my sister last year and she called the FBI who said they get thousands of calls about this all the time and that unfortunately they are in India and it is out of there jurisdiction.  They also called our mom and tried to get money from her too.  The FBI said that they are calling relatives and saying they are going to jail or else give them money, so they have scammed thousands of dollars off parents and relatives who don't know better.  they called her work as well and told her boss how she was in all kinds of trouble.  How they get our information I don't know.

DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO, CALL YOUR RELATIVES AND WARN THEM NOT TO GIVE THEM ANY MONEY.

i got a call from 2 guys one said his name is john MCOY and that i owe a loan company money, i did get a loan from the internet but i wanted to get information about what was the name of the loan company because i forgot and he said he dotn have there name it is under cash advance and that is it so i asked well i need the information that way i can pay them back personally and he wouldnt change his answer now hes calling my job saying im going to get locked up and instead of john mcoy, it is now a investigator name david cooper (by the way sounds just like john mcoy) that keeps saying there going to have the cops here at my job and they both sound indian to me.....

there phone number is 440-695-3276 or something like that i just know its a 440 area code and when i call back they answered how can i help you instead of saying a company name

This guy just called my work and said that there was an emergency "my friend" was in an accident and put me as an emrgency contact and they need money before they can help her... I called him on the scam and he hung up. This guy has called before as officer rob thomas, agent rob thomas, etc... I have complained the ftc... When will this end?!
