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.

They called me this morning stating they were an attorneys office but would not state the name of the company.  I repeatedly asked the name of the original company they say I owe this debt too and they wouldn't give me that information.  I was told it was information between him and his client.  I asked if he could produce the original documentation I supposedly signed for this debt and was told it wasn't his job to provide the information for me.  If I didn't comply they would have the cops come and arrest me.  He went on to ask if I have ever been arrested before and did I realize I was being investigated by the state I live in because of this unpaid debt and he can't wait until I get arrested and spend time in jail.  I simply told him I would not pay a penny until he provided me with the information pertaining to the debt so he was wasting his time along with mine.  He got angry and hung up on me.  Oh well.  Scammers

They keep calling about some unpaid debt. They threatened to "seize my bank accounts" and will not give me any information as to what their company is.

These same peopl contacted me today and Monday. They refuse to provide me with any information about the case and telling me I have to fax them the information to get information about the case. And that i also would be arrested and they will contact my employer. I have no issues in paying bills so I questioned him on the name of the company and said that the company has over three hundred smaller companies. Therefore he could not provide me with the name of the company I went threw. He also never reported the name of the law firm he works for or any infoamtion about the case. The first time he called his name was Jason. the second time it was Steve Clark and the last time it was Mr. Matthews. I'm not paying any  money to soemone that I one dont remeber owing and that can not provide me  with nothing in writing.
