Scam, Scam, Scam  Spoke such broken english!!!

Threatened legal action to pay for a loan. Broken English and very abusive.

I also received several calls from these people. The female who does the calling does not speak English. She is hard to understand. They threaten you with legal action and tell you that you will not get a good job if you ignore their call.

Just to let everyone know that these same people were calling me last August from multiple numbers and leaving the same kind of messages. The BBB had an alert out about them last August or September after receiving a lot of complaints about them. It was ruled to be a scam.

Whatever you do dont talk to them or give any information about yourself to them. IT IS A SCAM. DONT BECOME A VICTIM.

This person called my place of business 193 times in a 45 minute time span. He was told by several people that I no longer worked her and then somehow was able to hijack our phone system. He had every single line tied up plus everyone's phones were ringing and when you picked it up you could hear him as well as everyone in the office on the line. It was horrible. I ended up filing a police report.

these people call me at work all the time! luckily they don't have my cel number but its still so annoying! i wonder what i can do to have them stop!

This number continues to call me stating I owe them money when I've never taken a loan out before.  They won't tell me the name of the company I "owe money" or when the transaction took place.  They told me I would be sumonsed, so I waited at my house the entire day and no one came.  Now they are calling my employer.  They are very rude and hard to understand.  I'm not sure what to do next.

These people are thieves. keeps calling my job that I owe a loan and for me to send them money.  They need to go back to their country and harass others.  DO NOT PAY THEM.  THEY ARE SCAMMERS.  They have been reported to the BBB and FTC who have numerous complaints on them. PEOPLE BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE.  DO NOT PAY THEM.

They left a message on our work answering machine stating an employee(which they said her name) owes money and has legal action against her. You do not leave that kind of info on anyone, this is a scam big time.

They call 10 to 20 times a day and called my work over 100 times in 30 mins when the police showed up he called the officer a liar and then called the local police dept and wanted to speak with his supervisor. When the supervisor spoke with him the foreign man that could speak little English advised him that the police was now interfering with a investigation with the attorney generals office and action was going to be taken. These people are persistent not to mention annoying. What do we have to do to stop this.

I have also received numerous calls over the past few months.  They call me at work and even though I have told them not to call there they still do.  At first I did believe them a little because they had my personal info.
I am thankful that I ran across this site because now I know it is a scam.  They could not tell me who I supposedly got a loan through or the amount.  They did say that it was a huge parent company for online payday loans.  The name of that "company" is U.S. Cash Advance.  They also threatened if I didn't pay now and that they would be at the courthouse at 5:30 filing a complaint on me.  Number one the courthouse closes at 5.
They ask if you have a lawyer.  They have a Middle Eastern accent very hard to understand.  They have given me names of Frank Stone and Robert Davis.  They also use a phone number of 052-797-721.  I had the phone company trace that and they said it sounds like a Mexico phone number.  I made the mistake of giving my cell number to them because they were harassing me at work.  I will be filing complaints with the BBB.  If anyone has other ideas on how to get rid of these people, please let me know.

Good Luck Everyone

i got a call from this number 561-429-6116 left a voice mail that i have a criminal case against me and ihave to call back at this # 1-866-960-6286, they called my work and i was lucky the front desk girl told them i no longer work there. anyone knows how to get this people?

From Lamet's post:

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):
1.    The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2.    Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.
3.    File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4.    File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.wvago.gov
5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “spoofed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit against you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”.

“I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.

“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.

To register a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division, call 1(800) 432-2310 or visit www.ksag.org.

IGNORED IT THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY, IT HAPPENED TO 2X BUT I IGNORED THERE CALLS DONT ANSWER YOUR PHONE TELL YOUR BOSS AND CO-WORKERS SO THEY KNOW WHATS GOING ON. IT HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE I WAS ASHAMED TO MY BOSS AND CO-WORKERS THEY MIGHT BE THINKING IM IN DEBT FORTUNATELY THEY WERE SMART AND MY ADM. CALLED THE POLICE COZ THEY WERE HARASSING ME AT WORK BUT THEY STOP NOW....

I went to a site and applied for a payday loan, got declined, and now these guys are calling saying they are from a legal firm. Put an 8 in front of that nine digit number they are calling from and its a california cell phone. They want to scare you into thinking you owe money to them, then get you to western union it. THIS IS A SCAM>>>THIS IS A SCAM. Call the attorney generals office in your state. They are either pakistani or indian, using american names. Also..they will give you NO information, and REAL law firms and collectors..have tons of information to give you, including address, city and state. THIS company refuses...remember folks..THIS IS A SCAM

Received a call from 978-283-5714 but was given 866-960-6286 as the return call number.  
Man stated he was Charlie Jones and was with US Cash Advance.  When I told him I had been scammed before....he quickly stated he was with US Cash Now.  I asked for mailing address for his company and questioned the name again.  I was give 305 Shoreline Drive, Clifton, NJ 60620.  Based on the searches I did, there is no such address of 305 Shoreline Drive in Clifton, NJ.  I couldn't even find a Shoreline Drive in Clifton, NJ. Then I checked the zip code he gave me of 60620 - that is a Chicago, IL zip code.  The number he called from (that showed on caller ID 978-283-5714) is a Massachusetts area code.  

I requested documents to be emailed to me but he said he couldn't do it since they already had.  They had an old mailing address but I would not update my new one with them until I had something in writing from them. He said they would contact the authorities to come arrest me - this has never happened.  I have dealt with this kind of scam several times.  Always from a indian or middle eastern accented person with a normal english name.   I have been given the Shoreline Drive address before but it has been in different cities.  

Do your research before you do anything.  DEMAND information from them on company letterhead.  DEMAND DEMAND DEMAND and don't fall victim to their scams.  the more demanding you are with them, the faster they will stop calling as they will get frustrated.  

Investigate the information you get and report it to local authorities if need be.  you can also report to the FBI, FCC, etc.  Do what you can to help STOP these scammers!

im a victim of those [***] too they call my job they treat me to put me in jail im about to loose  my job  over them its embarrazing for me

They claimed they had legal documentation against me.  When I asked for a copy they would not send it to me.  They have been calling and harassing my coworkers and boss too.  A man said they were calling from Morgan and associates and told me I would need to get a lawyer.  I followed his advice and now they never call :)  For help in Texas see  www.JusticeInTexas.com
