    They are calling my son and when I called back asked for a case number and I don't have one. This is crap. I'm calling in on them.

    I got a call from an "Investigator Brown". She said that my papers were forwarded to her desk. She said it was a complaint against me for check fraud. WHAT A LAUGH! Never! She said that if I didn't call it would leave her no choice but to execute the paper work and that meant that i would agree to be in court. She gave me a 5 digit pretrial docket number. She called from a private number (big giveaway) and gave me a toll free number to call back (1-855-257-8424). I never called her back because I knew it was a scam from the start. I called that night from a private number to see what the answering service would say. It was just "Eastern Division". I actually called from a private number again to see if they would give me an address. The first time I called she asked for me case number, I said can I have your address please?, she said we are  located in New York. I said can i have your full address please and they hung up. I called again from a private number and told them that I will not give them any information if they do not give me their address so I can find out if they are a legitimate business or not, so they gave me this address (708 Foote Ave in new York, I asked for spelling) I hung up and looked it up and it was just a UPS Store. I called this "Eastern Division" back and told them that they gave me an address to a UPS store and they just told me that it is in the same building and that if I don't have a case number not to call back. I hate it that people get scared and call for these scams and these people get money out of this! (I am also going to copy this and add it to other sites because I don't want to rewrite this whole thing, so if you see this more than once, you will know why.)

    Same as Amanda, they called threatening to report me to the sheriff. I told them to go ahead. Said that I didn't repay a payday loan. He wanted me to give my card number to pay him $900. I asked for the guys name he got upset. I asked for his address and business name, he said he was from Hawaii. I asked for his street address and he started calling me a ni***r (funny I am white..) anyway, he said the address was 123 Elm street... again I requested the town... he said it was GFY and said that is "go fu** yourself. He was pissed off and yelling. I told him that I was reporting him to the police and he hung up. Do not be intimidated by these clowns. They have no right to have you arrested. The police do not arrest for not repaying, all they can do is sue you. I told them twice to not call me and to cease and desist, but they call anyway. One hint words when you get calls like this. It seems they always end with "good luck to you". No legit company or professional will end a call like that. One other tactic they are using is spoofing the sheriffs office phone number. One last thing. Creditors, collection companies, or anyone like that can NOT leave messages on your answering machine with detailed personal information... another red flag.

    These people who called you are in violation of the federal FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT .  

    Among other things:

    Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
       you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
       they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
       legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.

    These people are threatening arrest for what amounts to a civil debt.

    Report them:

    http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

    Also contact your local attorney general

    If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.  If you can find them.

    C.S.
    What do I do if I was stupid and fell for this? Is there a way to get my money back? I don't know who to contact about this. I have no way of stopping the payments as I have a comdata card and they told me I have to talk to the company to stop them, which I don't see happening. I feel stupid that I didn't check this before falling for this :(

    Good morning. The same thing as Amanda and the number on the caller ID was my county government information line. I have reported them to the FBI as well. They are a brother and sister team.
