I received a "bill collector" phone call and a male from the middle east was making obscene threats and vulgar comments regarding sexual content.  The caller stated he worked for Cash Advance USA.

One Steven Clarke (I have no idea how these Indian sounding person got a Caucasian name!!) left a message in my voice mal threatening me with all sorts of things including prison sentence and a $10000 fine ~ I never knew these crooks can also be the judge, the jury and the executioner all in one!

I have had the same calls all day.  Over and over and harassing in nature.  They state they will have me arrested in 20 mins.  But when I asked how to pay, was told to send Western Union to Vhavik Patel.  When I asked for a date when the "loan" occurred he couldn't give it to me.  Under the Fair Credit act they are supposed to provide you with all sorts of information.  He then got angry and told me he didn't care what happened.  The number is a number in India.

I had the same call came from a person with a foreign voice. He stated that I owed someone $14,000 dollars and that I WOULD BE ARRESTED, they would soon be sending someone out to my home. I have no idea who these people are.

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

"Ray Mackenzie" called my job and told the secretary I owed money for a pay day loan and had to go to court next Friday.   I called him back, but got an "Alex" who said I was going to be arrested in 20 minutes if I did not pay him $1800 over the phone.  He said I had no proof that it was not a loan because it was a paperless loan.   He said he was working for attorney James Bullock in Reading PA and they were representing Cash Loan USA.   When I told him I was going to have him prosecuted for trying to scam me, he hung up in my face.

Caller left message on my voice mail that I needed to contact Max Morris at this number that they were ready to pursue legal action against me and that I would have to go to court and pay $12,000.  When I called the number back I got someone with a very heavy asian accent and he refused to let me speak to Max Morris and told me he was the supervisor.  When I asked to speak to his direct supervisor he again refused telling me he was the top person of his company-a company which he would not give me the name of.  He then began to call me several derogatory names and tell me he would find me and get me.  The language that he used was definately not that of a professional debt collector.  If a true debt collector would know that the law does not permit him to conduct business in this manner.  I have filed a complaint with the FTC, the local sheriff's dept, and have contacted someone with the state bureau of investigation where I live.  I also was fortunate enough that I have the capability of recording the call on my cell phone as it was taking place.  I informed the man on the phone that I had done this and the call would be provided to law enforcement and he said it didn't matter they could not do anything to him.  My attorney also tried to contact them and the man refused to speak with him saying if he couldn't provide him with a badge number he wasn't really a legal professional and that he could speak to me however he wanted to because I was not cooperating with him and hung up on him.  I will not be sending any money to whomever this is and will continue to pursue legal action against them.

I got the same call.... from a law office, stating I had charges pending and I needed to settle or go to court. When I said I had no clue what they were talking about, the indian woman got very irate and asked me why I didn't know anything about it. Blah blah blah, $10,000 fine and asked me to  send $1000 by Western Union. The man's name was Chris Jackson (superviser), and "law office" he worked for is Cash Advance USA.com. I don't even know who they are.

I got 15 calls from this same person, Chris Jackson, on Friday, Jan 13. He left 4 very ugly, and threatening voicemails...which I saved. I have contacted my bank, obtained all copies of my credit report, and placed a fraud alert with all 3 credit bureaus and with my bank. I have filed a report with my local sherriff's office as well. I also googled the area code and discovered these calls are originating in Cambodia.

I got a call from this same idiot reading from a script that he had trouble pronouncing, Ray Mckennzie ,what a joke.

Ray MacKenzie called and left the same scripted reading on my cell phone voice mail. I now have it for evidence and have contacted the local police and the FBI.I am prepared to do battle.

I received a call this morning and the guy said that he was going to transfer me to his supervisor. I said okay let me conference in the police and he said ok and hung up

This same number called me just a few minutes ago stating I had a payday loan and if I didn't pay it a cop would be t my house within a few moments just happen to think about it and looked the number up on google and found this site. Can anyone tell me what I can do about these people cause they have my social security number my bank account and all I would appreciate the help thanks

I started receiving these calls since 8:30 this morning. I didn't answer and the voice mail they left was extremely threatening saying if I didn't call back and made arrangements I would be arrested. When I called back someone else answered said I owed $1200 and I had an 1hr to wire it. I asked from where did I owe that money she said Cash Net. When I refused she said for me to get ready to be arrested and prosecuted. Now the calls don't stop and the voicemails are worse and worse. Apperrantly they have all my information. Can anyone please advise of what to do.

Call and report it to ur local FBI office that's what I did they said they would investigate and see if there were anymore claims n go from there u may want to call and make a police report about it and call n put a fraud alert on ur credit with the major credit bureaus I have tha automated number if u need and may want to change ur credit card n bank stuff

They say I owe money that I do not owe. I told them I was recording the converstion and they hung up and will not answer the phone anymore.

I got a call from Chris Jackson threating to send the cops to my house or work and drag me and my man or manager( hard to understand) to court. he said I have criminal issues

I got a voicemail from this number telling me if I didn't call back right away that the only thing they could do was wish me good luck, and that a bad situation just unfolded on me. So I called back and they were extremely aggressive, when I tried to ask questions they yelled and said don't you dare interrupt me again. They say I owe money to cash advance USA, I said I never borrowed any money they then got extremely aggressive saying fraud charges were being filed and that they would be sending officers to my work and home to have me arrested. I asked if I could have paper work proof and they said they would send it all to me after I pay them.

I called them back 3 times by the third time some woman on the other end was yelling to stop calling and the police are already there.  When I asked what law enforcement agency she named the city police but I told her I live outside city police jurisdiction and she said were at your employer also which she implied is in town. My employer is based in another state.
