These nutts have been calling me for years. I didn't think anything about it because they would call and wait a few months and call again, but it's been going on too long and today was the final straw. They called today and left a vm message on my phone at work. They called my cell phone and left a message. I called them back to find out what this was in reference too. They refuse to tell me. They said, are you ready to settle your debt. I asked how much did I owe. They said $600. I then asked them for the name of their company. They keep changing it. One time they said Shale Anderson & Associates, Shaw Anderson & Associates and Charles Anderson & Associates. They provided me with a case number. They said I said a contract and did not fulfill it. They still didn't tell me what kind of contact.I told them I'm not settling anything. They got mad, threaten that someone will be out ot my job to summons me to court and that will cost me thousands of dollars. I've been waiting years to be summons from these fools. After speaking to me, they had the nerve to call back and speak with my boss, Human Resources, they called my father and my mother in law. When I say, they have crossed the line, I want destitution and a formal apology to everyone they called that I know. I'm tired of people treated like this. They need to get a job and leave hard working people like myself alone.

Just got a call from these scumbags at work. Its a scam. They're hoping to scare you and you just pay. Even if you never owed anything.

I was called by these guys on behalf of my son, saying MY name was on the summons they had prepared to be served on him. They said the company name was Shawzon & Associates out of Phoenix, AZ.  I worked for an attorney for 27 years in the debt collection field and tried to explain to Phillip (whom I spoke with) that I needed their fax number and a copy of the alleged NSF check they were holding, only to be told that this info would be in the summons and could be addressed once this was served. It doesn't work that way. After showing my knowledge to Phillip, he became irrate and tried to turn the tide, by now telling me that I am being harrassing to HIM and that he is now going to press charges of harrassment against ME...Seriously?????  All of this AFTER I found out the alleged NSF check was dated 2007, (six years old) and statute of limitations in Texas is 4 years. To which Phillip advised me (well versed in the knowledge of debt collection) that I "don't know what  you are talking about".   They broke so many debt collection laws in this one phone call it's not even funny.....

These idiots called today with a NO CALLER ID number, but left this number as the callback number. The voice-mail message was so bad and kept cutting in and out. They told me that I had a 3rd degree theft charge pending, but that I could pay it. HA! Sure just pay away your criminal charges. Total bull crap. Ignore or block this number - it's a total scam.

Got a call a few minutes ago from an Unknown caller and left this number on my voicemail. In the message it states that her name is Marsha Taylor, they are contacting me from the Criminal Fraud division, my name and SSN was attached onto an open and active investigation showing a pending court appearance for a fraudulant check charge. This is just a scare tactic to get people to pay on old debts.

unknown caller from my county arbitration office with a recent case in his office. TO resolve it call this number and case number back. This dude was rude and I informed him I do not know the company he is speaking of and he can no longer contact my cell phone and to contact me through mail. He get rude so I informed him I would put the attorney general on him he hung up. SO I called back the next day get a female who couldn't find my name anywhere in the system  asked her the name of the company she say sander & associates. Put me hold then the same guy gets on the phone saying do not call there or they will add harassment to the charge. Really but yall been calling me. They would only give me a p.o. box address cause I said I need to send a certified letter to them. I not sure who these people are but they have messed with the right one. My classmate is a attorney and he said just for fun he is going to give them call as well.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Got a VM from these liars about a pending fraud case my name was allegedly on. Call showed up as an unknown number and they provided no other identifying number other than a case # and this phone number to call them back at. Whatever you do, DO NOT call these charlatans back. What they are doing is illegal and even 1 call back out of 1,000 calls made is a small victory for them and will encourage them to continue with this scam. Go straight to the FTC website and report them.

Just got a call from, PHIL today at work at when I told him that all my affairs were handled by my lawyer, he stayed that I was up on fraud charges. I told him that he was making a serious accusation and that he would have to show evidence supporting his claim. He got upset when I told him I had no idea what he was talking about yet I told him that I was more than happy to fight this claim and that I awaited the summons, oh yea.....he doesn't know where to send it duff-us!!!

I as well received a vm stating the exact information as posted by other complainants.. IDIOTS!! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD!!!

Received a voiemail that said "My name is Victoria Harris, and I am calling on behalf of (couldnt hear the company) and I am conducting an investigation on behalf of Alicia Comer" etc.

I received a call on my cell phone from someone else (restricted) telling me they went to my house to serve me with papers. The address they have is 6 yrs old. Funny How they can get my cell phone number I have only had for 1 yr but not my address that I have had for 2 yrs. So I call the number that the first person gave me (I believe the name was Shaw Sanderson and Associates) . I talked to a lady she first tells me that I owe $1000 for a payday loan I took out in 2006. Asked if I could make payments that I am a newly single mom of 3. She puts me on hold and then a guy comes on. He then tells me I owe $1300 and if it goes to court it will be more. I explain my situation  to him. He puts me on hold. Comes back and says the lawyers will drop their fees and I will only owe $500 if I can pay most of that by the 30th. I was in the process of agreeing to making payment arrangement when we got cut off. Now I have been calling back for the past 2 hrs and it says "the party you are trying to reach is on the phone leave a message". So I did some research---I found out that the statue of limitations for payday loans in the state of Florida is 5 yrs since the last transaction on the account (which was 2006). So that is 7 yrs ago almost 8.  The only people that could go after me is the bank themselves because as far as I can tell there is no statue of limitations when it comes to the banks.

I was going to send payments just to have in writing about the agreement and when it got paid off. Did that with one loan and every time I get called about it I let them know that I have paperwork showing I paid someone for it. They will say I got scammed. I always tell them to take me to court and let judge decide that. I won't hear from anyone again for another 6 months and the cycle repeats.

I use to freak out when I would get the call from this people. I don't anymore. I get rude to them I harass them I do everything I can to them. I do my research. I also give name and number to my local police department and state attorney's office.

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.

Received a phone call from 1-855-339-0747 Company Name "Legal Division" name of the caller Phillip. Phillip is a black male with a large attitude. He threaten to send his "team" out to serve me! I responed back with attitude and Phillip slammed the phone down on me four times. Phillip became very irate once he discovered he was speaking with someone much smarter than him. Phillip refused to listen to anything I had to say he refused to allow me to give my last four of my SSN to prove he was calling the wrong person.

I have also reported this call to the FBI Scam division, not sure what positive results will come from that.

My neighbor and sister have received calls from a jessica davis at this number looking for me saying they need to talk to me in regards to legal court obligations and I need to contact the criminal fraud division.  My neighbors just went through this same thing for themselves a couple months ago same number but different names.

Caller "Victoria Howard" left a voice mail stating that a "Paul Delane" has an order for him to appear in court for several different charges. They will come to my home and place of employment in attempts to find him, and that I have the right to contact the plaintiffs at 855-339-0747. Some kind of scam for sure.

Same here.
Marsha or Marshal Taylor called me at 7:40 morning and left a message.

I received a call today from Victoria Howard, Legal Division for Paul, Delane...which the name is incorrect anyways...She called 3 times today then when I told her she had the wrong number, and no-one here by that name, she called back and left a voice mail, that I could contact the Plantiff direct at 1-855-339-0747, and that there are several charges, and they are in contempt of court for not showing up to court and a summons will be sent via home, work, etc..Haha...And that we have been served by phone..What a crock. And the reference # is 2014-0012...Does the last 4 digits represent how many people they tried to scam today???LOL

I got a call on 12/30/13 from a restricted number from at Phil stating that he bad papers that were filed in his office regarding fraud from a Payday loan.  He also called my ex husband, one of my brothers and his ex wife all from a restricted number stating the same thig regarding fraud and a payday loan and gave 855 339 0747 as the number to call back. I asked Phil the name of the Loan company and when he told me the name I told him that was odd cause I already paid them off the same year that the loan was taken out and I actually just happen to have the paid in full reciept.  He of course became very aggitated at this point and said i have to trasfer you to my boss.  Once his boss got on the phone i first told him how rude Phil was and proceeded to let his boss that they loan had been paid in full and that they were the 6th  company trying to collect on it so i said go ahead and served me the papers to go to courts so i can take all this information from them and all the other companys so the judge can make the decision if this has been taken care of or not.  This guys said let me do some research and i will call you back today.  Still waiting on the call back.  LOL.  Didnt even tell them that i have a list of phone numbers from the original company to whom they sold it to and so on and so forth
