916-259-9381

called my number claiming to be a state attorney.  He said he was representing a company that I owed money to and wanted my lawyers information.  I have a close friend who is an attorney and when I told him I could have him call, he hung up on me.  Beware if this number calls you, its a scam waiting to happen.

This number called my job and stated i owed money but when i called back telling them i knew this was a scam he started talking vulger and stated that what if he loved me Total Scam!!!!

The person didn't even speak english.... I couldn't understand them... but yeah they claimed to be a state attorney office... you would think if it was real they would have someone people could actually understand not have a strong indian accent. Total scam... they can keep talking to my voicemail

They also tried saying they were an attorney and that there was a criminal law suit against me and that I owed them money and I almost went ahead and sent them money because they scared me.  But I am a Legal Assistant and looked up the number and tried calling them back and found this and the number I call now they do not answer.  This is a scam people be careful!!!!!!!

They have called my cell phone and now they keep calling me at work.  It is someone with a heavy accent and a lot of noise in the background.  I have no idea who this is!

I had this number call me at my job and on my cell claiming to be state attorney office and that they have 3 judgments against me and when I told them to prove it they hung up. After looking up my state county clerk and state attorney public information and double checked that there were no claims pending against me, I called this people back and after them hanging up on me multiple times it was pay back time to harass them. After they called my job several more times I called them back to inform them to stop calling my job and my home number and if they continue I will sue them for harassment. This people are a total scam and a pain in the ass. They do not speak English and it’s very had to understand them at all. You would think that State Attorney Office would have people that spoke proper English if it was something real. Also a State attorney from another state can not call and say they filed in their own state if you live else where. Any claims must be filed in your own state that you reside in and in your county. Total scam. Give them a piece of there own medicine and call them 20 times to harass them. HAHA I did and it was fun.

Man tells me that I own him money and bad part he knows my social too and it's the same thing as all you what to do what to do

This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:

A man with a VERY heavy Indian accent called me and claimed to be Christopher Wayne Miller and I owed money on a recent loan I'd applied for.  He threatened me with all of the things you all posted above and demanded I pay $575 immediately.  I was hysterical! PEOPLE be alert, they are a scam! DO NOT GIVE IN, I'm glad I googled his # and found this site!  Thank you ALL for posting--you saved me big!

God bless

Last name is not real of course, however they got it wrong anyway.  I got several calls from this guy and al soon as I called back and denied owing any money they hung up.  then would not answer a call from my phone for the rest of the day.  Today they called and when I called back they claimed they were clooking for Dina not Linda.  Total fake.  I am so glad I finally reversed the number and found this web page with the truth about these scam artists.  I have notified my company and my phone vendor regarding the use of the phone services for fraudulant reasons.  They are going to investigate.

I have received a call from my job today to informed me of the phone call the call they have received from a Mr  Daniel Martin los Angeles attorney  about money that I owe them, I called them back and no answer but
my friend google the number and found out it was a scam. thank to all who have

yea they Indian yahoo tried the same scam on me  but I recorded the call and as soon as I called them out for being a scammer he said FU and hung up I called back and same voice  different name answer and I told tum I am turning them in to my state Attorney General and I made the Call. People Know basic law office operation a lawyer never answers a phone right when you call

IT is all Advance Cash USA all the Call and everything they are criminals in India

I have just got a call from these jerks telling me I owe them money. I gave the guy a piece of my mind. He said I owe them money. I told them I don't. The guy ask me if I can prove it. I said yes. He said if I don't pay back the money from the online loan I didn't take out I am going to jail. I do not owe anything and he can go to hell. He hung up on me. This guy called back. I let him know I gave the number to the police.  He hung up I called back. Now they will not answer my calls.  SCAM BIG TIME.

That's a hoot - asking YOU if you can prove you don't owe the money - legitimate debt collectors have to abide by the terms of the FDCPA and THEY have to prove that someone owes money to them!  Not that these guys are legitimate!

i got call from this guy said he is a attorney the own 300$ i never pay and said the im go in to jail leve scary msg on my phone.when i call then back a women answer and tel me thesame things..his suppost name is alfredo thomas..now i made a police report you not go to jail for late payments on credit cards..

I received several calls from 916-259-9381, a man with a VERY heavy Indian accent, says his name is Paul Wagner from the office of Chris Miller. Says I owe him money and there were criminal charges filed under my name and social security number. Stated that investigators were on their way to my address (which he knew). I kept asking him what were the charges but he wouldn't tell me. Called my phone several times threatening me. I called the police and filed a report and reported the number to the FTC.

I have in the past few days recieved numerous calls from this company.  I called back to find out what they wanted.  The person was clearly in India.  Of course gave me an american name.  Notified me of a lawsuit for debt of a payment for a loan from Advance Cash USA.  Of course I replied I have no such loan.  Note:  It took quite a bit of aggression on my part to even get the name of the company.  At this point he told me that if I didnt settle it now, that in two hours I would be arrested by the state sherrif's office and they would send information to my job to have me suspended.  When I am arrested I will face 6 months in jail.  To which I replied good thing my sister in law is a sherrif's deputy.  He was a little shocked.  I then proceeeded to correct his knowledge of the US legal system.  First I informed him that it would not be State Sherrif's office.  We have county sheriffs.  If I was being sued I would get a summons for a court date to determine whether I owned the money.  I would not go straight to jail.  And no, they cannot suspend me from my job.  They could levy my bank account with court order.  (I did my homework on the process).  He got pretty irritated and tried to then tell me the sherrifs office would be there in 45 minutes.  I replied, ok well maybe it will be someone I know.  I then stated, I knew this was a scam and I am filling out the complaint with our FTC as we spoke.  He got pretty pissed told me he didnt have to take that abuse and hung up.  I filed my complaint with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

I keep getting calls from this number saying that there's criminal activity against my ssn and that I'm getting arrested.  And each time I refer further about the call, or tell them about an attorney I get cursed out on the phone.  Because this call is at mny work, what can I do to make it stop?  Thanks so much Ms. Campbell
