I got a call too. What did they say?

Got a call from this number some agent regarding some legal action.

Complete BS.  They call everyone around you (family etc.), but don't call you directly.

Scam, that should be illegal

They said they have a legal open fraud case against me...??? Uh Duh?? I am not a company, and i did not fraud anyone!

CR processing.  Long history of scam calls.  They are basically trying to scare you into giving them money.  Ignore them.

Make a report to the police for extortion.   If they call you again, tell 'em you know they are a scam and you are reporting them.

Fraudulent or Zombie Debt Collectors—Things to Know

5. You will receive a court summons
6.  Authorities are coming to arrest you
7.  Anything similar to above,

 b.   Tell them you know they are a scam operating illegally and that you are   filing a complaint with the  appropriate authorities
* File a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime webpage     http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
* File a complaint with the Attorney General for the state you live in
The more information and complaints there are, the better the chance of getting these criminals to stop (or at least reduce the frequency).    [abstracted from another site]

Total scam.  Long history of CR processing attempting to scam people on phony debts.

Received a phone call at my job, it was a VERY DETAILED pre-recorded message (male voice)-  threatening legal action if I fail to return the call today.  Total violation of the FDCPA!!!!

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.

Male voice with threatening message for a civil action to be filed against Manuel Zuniga.
Wanted a return call to that number at extension 307. From either Mr Z or his lawyer.
Do not know Mr Zuniga and he has certainly never had my number that was called.
What a scam!

Male calling looking for family member.  Told him the person wasn't here.  He said since he had my phone number, he could give the details.  He then started telling me the family member is going to be served for check fraud.  I questioned it and he told me it against a certain business.  I told  him he was a  scam because I owned that business and he was full of it.  Then he told  me 2 other stories.....payday loan and theft. I ask his name, he hung up.   I called him back and he told  me he wasn't talking anymore, that he would talk to my lawyer.   I did report him....Everyone needs to report this ass.

That information is easy to find. All they need is your name and phone number. Type the info in yourself on whitepages.com. This is a total scam.

SCAM!!! I have been dealing with them for months! They continue to call you and your family members. I have filed a report they just call from different numbers. When you tell them you know they are a scam they yell at you and hang up! Bunch of cowards....how do they sleep at night. They must come from families of felons to become such dirt bags!
