I did today. India accent said name William Conner. Told me I be arrested tomorrow. Kept calling my job after I advised him not to. Very smart n arrogant.

I got a similar call just now.  Called my cell phone and I missed it, but the message was for someone I've never heard of.  I could barely understand the caller but the message did say "If you don't call me back, all I can say is good luck."  It wasn't for me and I have no idea who it is, but I kind of hope they call back.....just for fun.

It's a hoax.  Don't fall for it.  They call, and threaten you with arrest and jail time.  

They claim to be a bill collector.  They aren't.  They're a team of crooks in India or Pakistan trying to phish for personal information.  They try to scare people into sending money.

Got a call from him today, he tried to read a "affdavid" over the phone and that would prove of my notification of the "lawsuit"  When asked for the case or docket #, court it would filed in or jurisdiction.

I was told by the guy that I would be served with in 24 hours at my place of business.  When asked in what court it would be filled in, I was told the attorney general had not decided yet.  Really????  The AG is filling charges against me and you have the inside track and have no idea where there are going to file it????  

Told him his was not a lawyer, and he said "yea so what?".

I think I will keep calling them just to harass them like they have harassed me.

They call one after another, over and over..I've told him over and over to not call me.  But he calls, if you call the number back someone answers saying they are an Attorneys office. It's creepy, I answer hang up or just send to my voicemail and they call right back.

Called regarding an online loan application I had filled out,told me I had received a loan but did not pay back.I never received this loan,and they told me they are pressing charges against me and threatened to throw me in jail.Talked to some people and they said this is a scam.

just gat a call from this number and was told by a man with an india accesnt that i would be arrested at my job and i told him to shut the f--- up and not to call me agian and he called again and i hung up

left message going to jail  for a 10,000 pay advance authorization,very rude disrespectful  when started questioning them put me on hold collector scam or from india  law office walter jones. Would not tell me what pay day office was from or a case #   hmmmm!

I got a message from a guy that said I have to call this number back now with an attorney, or else good luck something will unfold and I will have to deal with it. They said they have my s.s #. My state id number and they even read my info back to me. Then said us government is pressing charges on me for 3 different fraud charges, the local police will be picking me up. I was scared until I read all the rest of the reports from this number. I would like to report these idiots. Its bull crap being scared like that cause someone is trying to scam

I got a call from this weird talking dude stating that I will be arrested in a few days at my job cuz I got a payday loan and don't intend to pay for it I was like huh , dude I have been scammed so much ur scamming me now with a few more choice words and my bf was going to kick some butt  , they had my job info , email and dl #, scarey but I was panicing until I read this, so sad that a bunch of blank  wipen [***] have nothing better to do!!!!!

Thats right I called back and they answered Walter and Jones and I hung up they called back 4 times and I did not answer...

They also called me from a SoCal # number same guy on the phone that called me today from this #. F*#kin [***]...

Yes it is I reported to the FBI...

It is so easy to determine that it is a hoax:

Bill collectors have to send you the bill in a certified letter.
At least my state as specific protections against this kind of lender making collection difficult if not impossible to collect. You cannot prosecute someone who writes you a check as collatoral. ACH withdrawals are even more difficult to bring criminal charges against you.
If a company is not licensed, they cannot collect more than the principal (most people have paid this long before it gets to this kind of collection)
Debtors prison went out during and shortly after the Jackson administration.
There is always bankruptcy--how good can your credit be if you are seeking this kind of predatory loan.

They called me and left a message saying good luck.  I called back asked him for my case number and that my Attorney wants my case #.  The man hung up on me.  So I called him back and said do not call my number anymore.  So he asked if I can hold like he was getting someone else.  I hung up and called back and the line was busy for awhile.  What business dies not have multiple line connections?!  I will be calling the FBI myself.

I just got a call from these stupid [***]. Saying if I didn't pay $197.91 then tomorrow I would get arrest at my job. I have never got a loan from "American cash", and now I have to pay a cancelation fee that I never got. My husband called the person back and went off on him and the person said he is going to charge us $2,000 for stating our opinion. If someone is suing you, your suppose to get a letter in the mail. I go to college for criminal justice, please let these people bring the police to my house. they would have another thing coming. I'll show them what suing people is about.

I received a call and they said i was going to be arrested if i did not send them money for a loan with American cash.  They had india accent and called me a fxxx whxxx.  They said they would keep calling my work number until i lost my job.

They called ne as.well and said I was going to jail in 30 days I asked him what my ssc number was and he.New it how did he get it

Apparently at some time in the past year "we" (any of us who are receiving these calls) completed an application for a payday advance loan. The website was either hacked or phony to begin with and our personal data was sold to these crooks who run this scam. That's how they have your SS#, work phone, etc.

Right:

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 in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
