The *real* phone numbers for the New York City Law Department can be found here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/law/html/contact/offices.shtml
None of them is in the 347 area code.

It's a cell phone, by the way:

NANPA: Assigned 2010-08-09 Nwyrcyzn10, New York (Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless - NY)

These people buy old bankruptcies and try to collect to make money. They scare people with a bunch of malarky. [***] are calling.

It is a scam so please dont buy that lie. I check with BBB never heard of the company

was contacted by this caller scam

These people along with another number started calling me yesterday. They used all sort of tactics from threatening to show up at my job, arrest, and showing up at my home. They finally gave up when I told them I was recording the calls and would be turning the information over to the police. IT'S A SCAM.... DON'T BE FOOLED.

Kevin called this morning stating that they were filing a legal case against me at which I requested the case number and what the case pertains to.  Kevin refused to respond to my questions but became upset that I kept insisting on more information and rudely, told me that he was filing to State Attorney in Maryland and I would be served at my residence and job.  When I called back, he refused to talk with me.  Because, they won't provide any information, I believe its a scam.

It's a SCAM!!!!   They called my son-in-law yesterday and made a bunch of threats/arrest/etc.  My brother works for the Louisiana State Police so we headed over there.  He said first thing...if you are going to be arrested, you will not receive notice!.  That was the first thing.  Second, try calling the number back and you can't get through.  Also the caller is foreign.  This is flat out an organized crime group trying to scam people.  Oh by the way, their favorite figure they are trying to collect is $5000.  My brother stated by no means...DO NOT GIVE THEM INFORMATION!  More than likely they are not even in this country.  At least that is the history the LSP has had with these type situations.  Don't fall for it!

I received a call from them threats of arrest/contacting my employer/filing criminal charges with the state of Florida,  they told me over $5000.  would clear this up.....also said advance America was the name of the bank that issued online payday loans to me.......

I just received a call from the same person harassing saying they are going to charge me $5000 dollar court fee and it is being filed with the state of montana said if i didnt pay $452 dollars I would be seen by the police tomorrow... i did have a payday loan once but i do not believe this foreign person about this.

I recently received a message from this number.  I listened to the message looked up the number and found this site.  I agree with all of you this is a SCAM.  I sent a message back and said per the fair debt collection act i request my information.  The caller sounded foreign.

While you may "be seen by the police tomorrow", you can also be seen by your grocer, the mail carrier, and the man who makes the best falafel wrap in town. NONE of them will be helping to collect some unproven and/or phantom PDL debt.

Really this is extortion dressed as debt collection. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. As early as possible it's critical to determine if your collector is domestic or yet another South Asian faker. The former you can sue into submission; the latter tend to be out of reach.

My notes from October 2011 on payday loan and "hot check" collectors are linked below.

These people called and tried to scare me into paying money for a loan that has been paid off for over a year now. The man was rude and Hung up several times when I tried to obtain information about this lawsuit that is supposed to be filed against me. Now they won't answer my calls.


SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY TELL YOU SCAM!!!!!!!

Yet ANOTHER MIDDLE EASTERN @$$H0LE (that can't speak good English-1st TIP OFF) and a PATHETIC SCAM attempt to collect money. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!!!! DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY. My 'family' LAWYER said if it's REAL they will send you a SUBPOENA. NO Subpoena?? Fine, then it's all BU11 $hit. Case close. The FTC needs you SO REPORT THIS # AND ALL #'s that call you!!! If these [***] call back, make threats against their Cows and Camels and tell them Alla plays with barbie dolls. LOL!  Oh... last but not least...yeah, this Indy's name is Mark Rothman like my name is AKNAH MOHAMED hahahahahahahah LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please change it to "...can't speak English well..."

they just called me and told me to assetane an attourney, I told him it was a B.S. scam and to go screw himself and he called me again I was going to fly to new york with 5 attourneys and to go ahead and serve me with a warrent since I work with my local police department

These people have called me the past two days.  I don't answer numbers I don't know and they leave a message telling me some BS about how i need to get an attorney and they wish me the best of luck if they don't hear from me.  It is a SCAM I am turning them into the BBB.

Another message from the [***]!!!  I'm gonna be arrested------when I wouldn't let up on him, he finally told me to stick it up my -----and hung up on me!!  Big time Scam idiot calling!!!!

They called me as well and said if I or my attorney did not call them back all he could say was "Good Luck".  Today's call was from Charles Green.  Charles had a strong accent from India.  Two months ago had the very same call from Kevin or Calvin Miller, couldnt get the first name too good because of the accent.  This is BS.  Never had a payday loan so I knew it was a total scam.  They threatened me with being arrested and all the other crap.They called my employer and left the same message.  I am still trying to figure out how they got the name of my employer and phone number. Oh well. Hopefully they will get caught.
