This is a scam!!!! They threatened to sue me and hold my accounts unless I paid them with a PRE PAID card!!?? Thankfully my fiance told me to give her the info and she immediately found this thread and assured me not to worry as it is a scammer just trying to get money from me. Do NOT listen to them and NEVER give permission for them to take anything!! You will never see your money again. They are low life sobs who prey on people who have little money and needed help at one time!!

Someone with a heavy Middle east accent called me today, his name James Codi
and said he is a lawyer and was assigned by a cash advance  payday company to collect the money I owe them. I have a loan of 300 but I just paid it off not with the company he mentioned. He had my last 4 digits of my social. (scary......)   I asked him for the loan ID and he gave me one that was far from the loan ID I have in my records. He told me to pay 210 by western union. LOL.
I told him to have the company to call me directly and speak to their representative. He said okay. 20 minutes later the same phone number  calls me and another clown is on the phone. I got really upset because he was harassing me but this idiot told me that the original loan was 250 which i never had such a loan. When I asked him for the web site of this company claiming they gave me a loan that clown told me this is confidential information.
That is when I freaked told him to leave me alone, hang up the phone and blocked their number.

Just want to let you know that I got a call from Charles from this number and he left me a message telling me that he was from the criminal investigations unit and that it was in my best interest and safety that I call him.  I did some search, know the number is from Westchester County and contacted the REAL criminal investigations unit to alert them, filed report and then was told to follow up with my Local police dept. which I did just a short while ago.  The Local police called there and how funny, they hung up on the police.  Looks like this company, or maybe someone working out of their garage got more then what they bargained for, I am not backing down on this one.  Claiming to be an officer of the law is a crime and going to follow thru to the end.  Maybe we all won't get anymore calls from the idiot with the accent, he too had one with me.

I agree there they called me at my job this past week to gave me all the info and told me I owe 300 dollars from last August which accumalated up to 743.00 I wanted to curse at them so bad but was at work so the next day they called my cell and boy did i give them a piece of my mind the guys name was victor i ripped right into that SOB i told him what a low down scum bag he is and do get a fing life and said you call me one more time i will be in contact with the police and report you to the FTC he couldn't get 2 word out LOL

i have been receiving calls and voiced messages from this company. i have also been threatened by them saying their attorney would call me and that i would have to go to court etc. i have notified the police dept and intend to email the atty generals office. please, someone in authority, shut this place down and prosecute them.

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

I received a call and she said her was Lisa Brown from the Crimnal Investigation Unit and it was to my best interst that I return her call or face the conquences that would fall upon me with the local police.

Received a call saying they had my SS# and that they were an investigative firm. When I called back. They would not tell me the name of the company. Very heavy East India Accent. Man said he would transfer me. Sounded like it was a large call center. Scam. If it was important they would have left a detailed message and told me what the issue was.

They left a message on my work phone also saying they had a criminal case against me. That if I did not reply to their call they would file criminal charges against me.

a guy said he was criminal investigator, knew last 4 of social, IP address, + i said it sounded fishy he wentoff on me pretended to get a supervisor then hung up on me! i called him righ back + he threatened me with 12,000.00 charge on "name -calling' a fed agent suspending my work privelages a year, never would tell me for what did know where i worked said i'd be suppenoed at work . also accent was heavy foreign = told me his name was greg jones.....yeah right!

I have no caller ID, and no answering machine.  They got my Magic Jack number and are leaving messages on it from a Lisa Brown at 914 740-8060.  Took me 20 minutes to understand what the number was, because of the broken English.  The latest call informed me they were putting a lean on my property to force me to sell it so they can get the money.
I have disconnected my phones, because they keep calling & calling.  My Magic Jack has an answering service, which comes in my email.  So I have been able to keep in contact with out talking to them.
I called the County Attorney's officce, but they said they couldn't help me.  But to call the police.  I got the same reaction from the police, except one officer said to contact phone company and have their number blocked.  With no Caller ID, can't do that, don't know the number coming over my phone. They said put it on the Do Not Call site.  I have had calls from California as they said, also from Washington, too.

I received a call from this number - The gentleman on the phone said his name was Xander Cage with the US Dept of Crime & Justice - He said the call was for collections of a check advance payment -Then I asked for an address and he gave me "1041 Jacksonville Street; Bronx, NY 10601" - While on the phone with him I googled the address and told him it didn't exist and I never received a cash advance - His response was "I know you were looking for the address that's why I gave you the wrong address so [***] YOU!" and he hung up on me.

I have received a phone call from this number this morning and my experience was the same as everyone else on this post. I am grateful that others have posted this issue. I know this is a scam. I have taken advice from here and will notify those I need to notify. I don't like how much they know about me. Very scary indeed.

Wow! Im so glad I found this website! They keep calling me and when I asked the guy politely to stop calling he became very rude, and he said he will not stop calling. He hada heavy indian accent and said he was from the federal dept. Who should I notify about the calls?

I got these same calls telling me they were from a criminal justice dept has all my personal info.

this number calle me and told me that i owned money to chase bank , and to send 375 to some chik in bradenton fla by the name of alisha murrany wtf, then he told me dont call no one and dont tell no one about this matter,he told me to send him a letter with my ss# and copy of my id and my stupid [***] did it cause i was so scared at the time and i have never been in trouble so i want to clear this up real quick,,,so something told me to call the bank and they said they dont operate like that ,,thank god i told someone ...then i google this number and the page came up ...thanks u guys

2/7/12 - This guy with the heavy accent called our office about 8 times today - said his name was Gary Jones.  He asked for one of our staff and after speaking with her he then asked to speak with me (the manager).  He was abusive to her and to me, wouldn't say where he was calling from, knew a lot of information about her personally and about our business, wanted me/our business to know about "all of the criminals that we have working here", etc., etc., etc.  He would not tell me where he was calling from (although in an earlier call he told one of the staff that he was calling from "National Investigations") and when he asked for my last name and I wouldn't give it to him he became VERY absusive, "Get lost!  Get lost!  Get lost you stupid b--tch!".  I told him we would be reporting him to the police for harassment and he laughed - then I hung up on him.  He tried calling several more times, but the staff answering the phones just hung up on him.  

Then I found these posts!  I really appreciate everyone reporting about this scam - I passed this along to the staff member he kept naming.

This rude company is calling claiming fraud, that I owe money for a cash loan trying to retrieve my acct information. how does one prosecute such companies

This happened to me....  I received a lotto winning letter an check for $5200.00.  The letter said to call a number 912-330-4479 an ask for david gonzalez. So I did, he said to deposit in my account and I would be entered in a sweepstakes for $200,000.oo.....ha. I had checked in to it before trying to do so and found very little info on these people.  After that I called him back stating it was done, however of course it wasn't. The next day I received several calls fro different numbers saying I had warrents in another state and that I needed there help. Their help was of course thousands of dollars an if I didn't pay I would of course pay dearly behind bars. Ha-ha-ha.  Here is a list of numbers dealing with these f__ked up people...778-323-6788, 732-478-3113, 912-330-4479, 914-740-8060, 213-260-9143.  Please becareful of this scam. They will goto the extent of even scaring you with jail and legal problems...good luck
