these people called a lot sayng i had a big case they had my ssn kinda sketch

I got the same call from this office and the guy can barely speak English! Had to listen to the voicemail he left several times before understanding him saying that he was going to go to the authorities about some cash advance loan that I had taken out months ago and that I had to prove that I never received it. When I called back, he wouldn't answer and when I called from a different phone number, he refused to let me speak to anyone else and hung up on me again after asking him what company he was calling from and to send me proof of what the hell is was talking about.

This is the second time I have gotten these calls. Right away I told him I wasnt verifying any information because I knew this was a scam. He called right back and said "why did you hang up?" I told him he was full of crap but then he states he works for the law office of David Harrison and then he proceeds to give me all of my info, my address, last four of my social, and my work address. Then he states that I will be arrested at my place of business at 10am tomorrow morning, thenhe asked me to hold. I did because I wanted to try to get more info as to why (even tho I stillknow this is a scam). His supervisor gets on the line and restates the same info. I told him that I knew this was a scam, but then when I asked why I was getting arrested, he said well why do you want to know if its a scam, just be ready to meet the officers tomorrow.

The last time I got one of these calls, I looked up the attorneys name and called that office right back. The receptionist told me that these people had been using the name for quite some time but they have been unable to locate them to turn them in or get it stopped. Im sure its the same crap now.

Same issues as above. An obvious non-native English speaker carrying on about a loan I did not take out.  I look forward to them coming to my place of work, esp since I work on a federal facility.  Bring em on.  I have trace capability on my telephone and will use it the next call I get.

Exactly the same as above.. Scammers!!!

I just today received a phone call from this company this morning and when I read the blog here I could relate all to well. I was appalled at the fact they threaten you without any grounds and falsify their company information. On top of that they were rude when I called back to find out what this was in reference to hung up on me and used profanity also asked me if I understood English I was so upset I told them I can't understand something they don't speak and hung up. I am telling the BBB and doing everything possible to stop this madness!!

these people did the exact same thing to my sister i am now in the prossess of harrassing them on a daily bassis

I have received one of these calls also. The supposed attorney told me that I had taken out a loan from the internet and they had not received payment. The gentlemen was from a foreign country and didn't speak english well. He told me to send an authorization fax to debit $1,000 from my debit card to satisfy the loan. He told me that 2 officers would be at my home the next day at 11:00 am to take me into custody for fraud and that I could be fined $5,000 and imprisoned for 6 months. I was about to send the fax, but my mother stopped me. I was scared, I have children and a job, my children need their mother. Why can't these people be caught? What can be done about this? The phone number was from New York and the fax that I was given was from Seattle, a little too weird I think. Be careful, these people know what they are doing. Today I received a call from Police 911, but when I answered the phone, no one was on the line. Then I received a voicemail on my cell phone from a supposed officer, but no city was given and the person told me that if I didn't send the fax and pay the money in 2 hours that I was going to jail. This has been a bad experience for me and my family is scared, we haven't slept for 2 days, what next?

Same story as the rest....will not stop until I get to the bottom of this! They have tried to scam the wrong person!!

Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

12/01/2010—The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that 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.

One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The method by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim’s relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt.

These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller.

If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:

Contact your banking institutions;
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

I just got a call from the same number. The law firm is Becker and McKenzie. Have been getting these calls since October of last year and have never been arrested. Wish they would stop calling.

i have been getting messages with this number in reference to a Daniel Clark, alson the callers are from another country and rude, calling my cell# and my work place. I am sick and tired of these calls!

I received a call from a dude who said he attorney Micheal Wright.To call him back or I would have the
police  come to my house or my job.I would be arrested and my manager from my job would be also.I would have to pay a 10,000 dollar fine too.This man calls  with a different name at least once a week.
They need to be stopped.Or go back to their country and call their own people to scam them out of money.
