Scam....a foreigner with a heavy accent claiming to be a bill collector. He asked for me or my attorney and reads that same old written rehearsed line about how I need to call them today....if he doesn't hear back from me then he said all he could do was wish me luck.....LOL. I will gather more information next time and add it to this page.

This [***] [***] keeps calling me and is telling me he is from the California State Attorney's Office and that there are some heavy charges against me!

He told me good luck as this situation unfolds. He is is middle Eastern. And told me to call back or have my attorney call back.

Just called my phone and I told him I was putting the police on the line he tried to threaten me and I told him I was not scared and I put him on three way to call the police he hung up but I forward the number to the police everyone need to do the same. He also said he was calling from a law firm I called the law firm they didn't know he was.

Same thing just happened to me but he first called my cell phone and then my work phone! I hung up on him on my work phone so he blew up my work phone and then left a message threatening me.  Obviously calling straight from India!

Just called me also. Saying I need to call him or my attorney to call if not. Then he wishes me luck

I got the same call I just told him I'll wait to be served and he had no idea what that was. It's a scam and apparently I will be arrested tomorrow.

He told that all I had to do is put 300 dollars in a green dot Card and then he told  me that if I refuse to pay that he would persuit the lawsuit and I would be serve with a warrent with in three hours for my arrest...

I was called today from this number 615-281-9642...He said I would be arrested and that I needed to hire an attorney or come up with $645....I said fax me a copy of the loan contract, he said he was not going to do that I would have to hire an attorney.....first he asked me have I checked my email lately....I said yes everyday, he said that I had been ignoring the reminder emails, I said No way....I said give me the number of the company I supposedly got this money from, he gave me a number, but I soon realized that she was in on it!!  This is a big SCAM!!

First flag green dot card only prepaid card that dont back up anything this is a scam all the way. Same type of call I got on voice mail it all srems from applying for a payday loan they sell your info. Never use a green dot card to pay anything I learned my lesson the hard way just glad it was only $100 I got taken for

Foreign voice, sounds like India . Recited my bank account, my ss # phone numbers and work address. Told me that there is a warrant against me for a payday loan from January and they are going to arrest me. I asked for address and he told me it was the Hawkins law firm out of franklin , Tennessee  2021 edgewater way. His name was Derek smith . They are supposed to send someone to my job to serve papers and arrest me. I am going to the police department tomorrow to turn myself in and if there is no warrant , I will file a complaint. Sounds like a major scam when he told me I needed to pay the bill.

One important thing to remember if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

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.
