813-995-6249

Saying they are a law office representing US cash advance and trying to collect a debt they number they left voice mail from is +052797777 which is international

i received a call from this number threatening to mke me lose my job.  saying they are an attorny offce

I received a call from the "department of investigations bureau" and they said my brother took a loan out in my name and are investigating him and need my info. How did they get my number and is there any way they can take my money?? they took 100$ out of my brothers account and I'm scared that they'll do it to me, i didnt give them any information whatsoever and my brother didnt ever give my number to them. Please help!

I received a call from an unknown number, 052-797-777 but this number 8139956249 was given to call back. The gist of the call was that I was under investigation and if I did not respond the officers would come and get me and I would do hard time or die.  The had the name and numbers of my brother and sister, and also the last 4 digits of my SSN.  They also had my employer, and my work number because they tried calling there, but I did not answer.

I received several calls from both numbers (052-797-777 and 8139956249) They have been calling non-stop, they have also been contacting my oldest daughter and sister saying they are listed references when I would NEVER list either of them as a financial reference.  They also called my work and my house phone, saying that there was a fraud case against me, which I know is completely untrue...

When I called the 813 number back, the man had a very thick arabic accent and was very rude and got very hostile with me after just a few seconds of speaking.  I have had a few scam calls in the past and I googled this number and sure enough it shows up as another one...I am having the numbers blocked and I am going to contact ftc.org to report this issue...the more people that report these numbers the harder it will be for them.

I got the same message basically saying that a friend used my name as a reference, and it was a fraudulent case.  I know that just using someone as a reference, doesn't work like that.  I had my face book acct. hacked several weeks back, these are probably the same ones.  I hope they get caught.

This person called my cell phone, saying his name was Rudolph Jacob and that he was with the Resolution center, law and distribution, (that was the only part I could understand).  That a friend of mine, (he mentioned her name) had used me as a reference and that it was fraudulent, and that if I didn't respond back to the phone number that I could be in a lot of trouble.  I know that being a reference for someone is not a federal case.  He also mentioned something about a case file.  I tried to write down the words, I have this saved to voice mail on my cell.  The number that he wanted me to return the call to was 813-995-6249, but when I looked at my missed call on my cell it come up as 052-797-777, which was pretty weird to me.

I just got a call from them as well, I didn't answer because of the international number that came up. But got a message saying with a law firm and needed to speak with me within 24 hours or i would be contact by federal police about fraud and being investigated.

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.

This is a total scam and they are just trying to get you to give information so that they can take money from you. DO NOT TELL THEM ANYTHING! There is NOTHING that they can or will do to you. Here is what my congressmen's office told me to do. Act as if you are recording the call. Tell them that this call is being recorded. State your name, the time and date and ask them to state their full name. Ask them the nature of their business with you, what United States company that they are representing. Also ask for the name and title of their supervisor. GIVE OUT NO and I repeat NO PERSONAL INFORMATION. They only have your name and phone number. They have no other information unless you give it to them. They can do NOTHING at all to you. Yes, the calls are annoying and the FBI tells me that they are ran through the internet so they are not able to track these clowns down. The calls will stop. They finally left me alone when I told them that they could do their worst, but they were not getting any money out of me. I also told them that the way we do this in the UNITED STATES is to send certified mail to my home address.  Please do not fall for this. Call your local FBI office and report to them. They might not be able to do anything now, but I guarentee our government has the ability to track them down and stop them. They just need to be prodded often enough to take action.

These guys sound threatening, just remember, they have NOTHING on you and they don't know where you live. One voice mail that I have saved on my phone states that if I do not return their calls - Good Luck to me. Whatever!!!!

Thanks for all the additional information. I wish they could find these jokers and shut them down! It is annoying as heck and I really feel for all the people that they are able to scam.

This guy's called me and said the I need to give them 600.00 or I was going too jail

This guy's called me and said the I need to give them 600.00 or I was going too jail

this person called my house over and over non stop last night, saying he is with dispute resolution center and his name is neal johnson. I knew immediately that it was a scam because they tried this same stuff on me two months ago. I reported them to the Missouri Attorney General but they took no action that I'm aware of. I finally had to take my phone off the hook last night . When I got to work today, they called my Job and I chewed them out. I know the Kansas City Attorney General has complaints against them as well. I think they hacked into someones payday loan applications because of what they said the first time I dealt with them and all the info they have on thier victims. Someone needs to catch them!! The first time it happened they had me really upset but when I googled thier number I discovered they have been doing this to tons of people. I fear they will steal from my bank account. Todays call, they said they were doing a social security investigation. The first time they said it was an unpaid loan that I was being criminally charged for.

As requested.

Received call stating same information about being guilty of fraud. His name was Ronnie Davidson from Debt Resolutions Center in Florida.  Stated if I did not call 818-995-6249 within 24 hours that I would be arrested.  The call came from 092-727-7777.  He also contacted my friend at her cell number, how he got it I don't know.  Please be aware.

i was contacted by a phone number in fl 813-995-6249 saying that i owe a pay day loan co some money  or i was going to be arestted for intrastate bank fraud they wanted me to send a picture of my state id but the have been calling me and calling me.i am tired of this i wish i could set up a sting and catch these people

Like many others - I got a call from these people stating I was going to be sued for $5,484.93, but I could pay 675.39 to get this taken care of today, that I had violated Banking Regulations, that I had commited theft by dececption.   Be careful -- I am in process of notifying the authorities. I truly believe this to be a major scam.

I received several harrassing calls from an hispanic speaking lady stating I owed $876.  She said she was from the Department of Investigations.  I told her to send me documents showing I owed this amount and she said I would have to get them from my attorney.  The number that appears on my caller id is 5-297-7777.  This clearly fraud and should be reported.
