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.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:

■Notify 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.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

■Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
■Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
■Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
■Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
■Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
■When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

I received a call from this number at 7 am which would be 4am in California where they claimed to be. The woman told me if I did not pay within an hour, I would be arrested at my place of employment. When I asked for details, she would not provide any just stated I would have to appear in the state of California's Superior court and hung up on me. BEWARE!!! This is a scam!!!

We had the same call from the same phone number as Patricia did, just used first name, and asked for SSN.This call occurred on January 19th at approximately 9:00 Am. The caller stated that he was calling from a law firm and I must call him back or get my attorney to call him back and if I didn't he wished me luck . The caller was a male and had a foreign accent. My husband called the number back, it was answer'd by a lady who said XXX law firm, (could not understand her very well). when my husband asked what it was about, they hung up on him.

This number has called me all week! idk how they got my number and email address but it was a guy on my voicemail idk WAT HE WAY SAYING  n whe. i called a woman answerd an i fussed at her today she better not call bak

This number called me on my cell and at work - I answered and the guy barely spoke English - I could hardly understand him and he said he was from a law firm and that there were legal issues against me - I told him not to call me at work - I was teaching - he called back 3 times and when I didn't answer the last time he left a very threatening message saying that he would send the police to my work.

said the same things as others - Good luck and god bless if I don't call back.

i needed to call this number and take care of this or i will have to have my lawyer call them or else it will up fold on me and they will tak action.

the guytold me he was going to kill me if i didnt pay his cash back i have no clue of how they got my info  i saved the v mail when i called him back he said you pay now or die later  and he said have a nice day god bless

This number called me to and said  I had a law suit against me and had to call back with my name and social security number or have my lawyer contact them. When I said I don't have a lawyer and asked why I would need one. He said you don't know what this is about and I said no then he said just call back with name an ssn. Have a nice day and God bless. He also was very hard to understand!
Caller didn't give his name only that he was calling from the law firm of Jack Best or Basset. this call took place around 7:45 am which would have been 4:30 am in Califoria.

this number called me at 6:06 am on monday jan. 23rd 2012   the man on the phone said i needed to contact 8183373041 and speak to anna jones an attorney   he stated that thier was a case pending against my name and social security number and i should contact anna jones immediately  he stated she will give me a detailed explanation on this matter  well i know i don't have anything like that going on  i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one who is reporting this number  i feel almost violated having a strange man call me saying things like that why do dumba** people like that even exist?  i couldn't understand the caller very well but i believe he said his name was jack basset  i really hope that someone finally puts an end to these people harrassing innocent people for no reason at all they should be punished to the fullest extent the law will allow

Had a call on my cell from number 818-337-3041 at 7:30a.m. January 24 2012. When i did not answer they called my work. Called them back on my break and spoke to an Anna Jones. Stated that i had a lawsuit against me. Something about my bank account. When i told her i had no bank account she hung up on me. This was after leaving me a message telling me or my attorney to call them. And that she wished me luck.

I got a call on my cellphone early this morning, January 28, 2012 at 8:48am and the guy who left the message has a very heavy accent and i coul dbarely understand what he was saying. But after a few seconds of the message he stated that he was Gary Wilson but left no company name. He stated that he needs to hear from me or my retained attorney immediately. He assures that if my attorney or mr does not call him back then all he can do is wish me good luck as my situation unfolds on me. I called the number back and it keeps saying this mailbox is full to unlock the mailbox press 2. I hung up after that. There were no details of the call other than good luck and God bless and then the phone hung up...I could hear people in the background as he was talking. What should I do about this as i have never seen this number before?

I received a voice message this morning from Jack Daniels who haapened to have a very heavyy Indian accent. Saying that i or my lawyer needs to call back its very urgent and if i disregard he wishes me the best of luck as it unfolds.  I call back and speak to a woman claiming to be a lawyer direct with i believe cooper law firm and that i was being brought up on federal criminal charges for not paying back a payday loan which i didnt take out they had my ssn and home address and knew where i worked.  How is this all possible?  After reading these posts i tried calling back but keep getting a message that the mailbox is full.

I managed to get through and they claimed to be calling from Kevin Corbin Law Firm and I was speaking with Annie.

I have also received a call from this same number. I didn't not answer so they left me a message. Wen I called back and asked for information, the guy kept talking over me and when I finally yelled at him and said he will hear from attorney, he hung up the phone.
