This guy is an absolute idiot!  He told me his name was Federa Officer James White... as if some hindu guys name is gonna actually be James "FREAKIN" White.... I asked him if he worked at the Police Station and he said yes....dummy.... Police Officers aren't Federal Officers..... I have not filed a police report but I will investigate it more and report it.

I RCVD A CALL FROM MARK HENRY ALSO,.......BUT HE WAS CALLING FOR MY MOTHER AND HE HAD ALL HER  PERSONAL INFO..... AND WANTED ME TO PAY....THE MORE QUESTION I ASKED HIM HE SEEMED TO GET OFFENDED AND RAISE HIS VOICE....SO I DID BACK AT HIM AND TOLD HIM I WAS GOING TO VERIFY WITH BANK AND REPORT TO POLICE AND THEN HE HUNG UP ON ME...

i received a call from him he said his name was adam smith calling about a complaint in my name. He also said he was a Federal Agent. And he wanted a credit card payment up front. He stated I recieved a check over the phone. I told him to send it to me in writing then hung up. The nerve.. I was so upset I went straight to the internet and look what i found. WOW .. This guy must think I'm stupid. Thanks for the info guys I will be reporting this.

I verified with the local PD, FBI, FTC and the attorney general that this is a scam and not even a real debt collector.

I called them to get them on tape and the person on the other end "mark henry" threatened me with a felony charge, termination of my employemnt and then rape and death threats on myself and my family.  I filed a police report and turned over the mp3 of the call as evidence.  I was urged to contact the FBI as this is across multiple state lines and considered a federal case.  I am currently working with an attorney that was provided for me by the FTC(thanks guys) to track down and sue this [***].

This Marc Henry called me at my workplace today 3 different times, threatening to have a warrant for my arrest, etc.  He said I received a cash advance in 2009 and I told him that I didn't even live in this country in 2009 but he still wouldn't stop.  I told him he was a fraud and I wanted to speak to his supervisor, he said there was noone above him and then he said that he was writing up a report to send to his headquarters.  I asked him the number to his headquarters and he said he's not authroized to give that out.  I also called the cash advance company that he said he was representing and they had no history for me.  HE IS A FRAUD!!!!!!!

I recieved a call from 954-607-4504 from a guy names Adam Smith stating he was a federal agent. He had my name, address, ssi#, and phone number. At first, he would not tell me the names of the company he worked for and I asked to speak with his supervisor. I have not spoken to a supervisor as of yet. I told he would need to send me something in the mail. I have not received anything and he keeps calling my job. One time he called and stated to one of my co-workers that I would be sorry if I didn't return his call.

I keep receiving calls from a Tom Brown and Mark Wilson etc. He has got a hold of bank debit card information and some more personal information from online. He continues to harras me at work and my personal cell phone number. I've told them i know there a scam and to stop.

I want these people punished for what they have caused me. I had to cancel my bank accounts and other auto bills i had, making my monthly schedule all messed up and got my creditors up set. I'm very upset and frustrated by this.

Sincerely,
Cris Pena

I received a call from someone named Mark Henry. He was saying he was a federal agent and that I owed some money for a bill on my credit report. He had a strong accent. Sounds like he is from India. He was threatening me stating he was a police officer and that the local law enforcement was going to arrest me. The scary thing is he had my SS# and my home address. What can I do about this? It sounds like what I need to do is report this as Identity Theft.

Yes report it to the local police they are fraud debt collectors
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."

Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.

The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)

The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.

A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.

This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.

abc news peice on the scammers

I also received a call Wednesday, August 3, saying that my husband (who had an aneurysm a few years ago} is under federal investigation for crimes of three statutes (I could barely understand this man).  He said his name was Tom Brown and wanted my account numbers.  I told him this did not sound right and I wanted something in writing because I believed it was a collection agency. I said send it to the address he had.  He told me to fax my intent to him,  I am skeptical about this and now worried about what I should do.

These fools called me today about a legal matter for one of my grown children.  When I explained that this child was ill and had been ill and under Dr.s care for 4 months, he persisted that I take a message. I told him that I was in no way accepting responsibility for any "legal matters".  He asked what my relation to my child was, I said mother, then he proceeded to tell me child's address, phone #, ss#  way too much info.  Then he told me that  Federal, State, & City charges were being filed against my child and if I didn't settle this today by paying $286.00 settlement of a $950.00 charge, that Federal Marshall's would be at the door to arrest  on Monday because these were Federal Charges :  Violations, Fraud, Theft by deception.  I asked for the name of the company that originated these charges and all that they (caller & supervisor) could tell me was some name that I could not understand because of their heavy accents.  They said that this co. represents 27 companies and they could not give me all 27 names.  They wanted to know if I would settle this matter now, I told them no.  They wanted to know why a mother wouldn't protect their child.  When I told them that I didn't know who they represented or anything about them - that they could be calling from India, Hatti, Canada or Mexico the supervisor replied that I doubted his identity and he cold give me no more info., but he felt very sorry for me because I was facing the worse times of my life.  They must not know much about U. S. Laws: you can only discuss someone's legal matters with another person if that person has been given prior authority to talk on their behalf.  They gave me the call back # 954-670-4504 before I questioned their identity.
