This is basically a scam, resulting from any online application where you applied for a refinance or a cash advance.  An individual will ask if you are who they are looking for and then confirm the case is legitimate by reading back the last four of your social (which they got from the application).  Then he will claim to transfer you to his supervisor who will state that he is with the payroll department and you are being sued for fraud.  He will throw out Chapter 9 (which is bankruptcy and has nothing to do with payroll) and claim that he is from Taylor and Associates.  Taylor and Associates is a legitimate law firm, but they do not practice bankruptcy or criminal law.  He will threaten to submit paperwork to the sheriff.  I hung up on him before he got to the end game of what they are after (probably some settlement amount).  Totally ignore the call.  People with a claim usually send a certified letter via the court system.  Usually after legitimate collection efforts via a collection agency.  If you have not received at least that, then it is a scam.

Yeah he called me saying something about pay today or he will get me.for.fraud idk what hes talkibg about

I got a call from him as well, get this he has calles me racial slurs and continues to play on my phone from different numbers I need to find a way to go about a lawsuit...i have been recording all his calls and he has cleary been harrassing me!

I received a call from a gentleman who sounded Indian.  He pushed me through to his supervisor Attorney David Jones.  What a load of BS...threatened to phone the local Sheriff when I began pressing him for information and details.  I explained I would be happy to return his call when I returned from an appointment I was late too.  He gave me a phone number and I requested to know if he could let me know the essence of his call.  He remarked by saying you either need to go or we can discuss the fact that you have a case against you.  I could not recall where the 504 area code was located so I inquired as to where he was phoning from.  He said Louisiana, New Orleans specifically as if I never heard of his corrupt city...Again I requested some info, but he became irate  and said I would miss the important meeting to take my son to the dentist.  When I continued pushing for a quite synopsis of the alleged law suit against me he crumbled and hanged the phone-up.  There is no way an attorney would take their time to phone me about something without first collections, warnings, a certified letter, etc.  How stupid does this man honestly think people are.  In fact, in this day and age anyone can claim just about anything with the right access to various databases, a job where SS#'s are on file. And, if he was an attorney with any form of decency he'd never hang-up the phone. He may also want to get someone who can speak clearly when they initially phone my home.  Furthermore, he threaten to call the town Sheriff, I said go ahead.  I was thinking I'd call on his behalf to save him the aggravation of making another phone call.  If that wasn't sufficient I could always give a call to our county DA's office... initially

I got a call from this gentleman, Indian as well and they actually caught my attention, the day before I declined a different 1-800 number that was from Indians as well and they told me that they were going to press charges against me on fraud because I was " messing with their companies information", and they even tried to curse me out when I told them I'm reporting them and I found out that they are a fraud company, and their number was on a website and I was going to be the one pressing charges, and it just so happened that the next morning I get an call from a number telling me that there will be charges against me and that I need to get an attorney or they will arrest me at my job, and tell the sheriff to put a summons out for my arrest.  When I saw these reviews I called back the Los Angelus number they called me from although they stated that their office was in New Orleans. When I called back from a different number the guy sound shook and it's the same guy that picks up the phone every time. I received calls from various different numbers as well trying to hit me with the same scheme, I guess since they know we caught on, they think federal charges will be pressed against me will scare me, how stupid do these people think we are? Now every time they call and I tell them I know that their company is a scam company they quickly rush off the phone.

This doesn't make any since that people would play on you phone like that I told the same thing and they just kept going on and on about the same crap then it went from the police were going to arrest me to they will be sending me the paper work for my lawyer so like i told them i know that they are a scam and he going to tell me not to call the number back no more cause i told he i was going to report him to the police myself if he called my home again.

They called yesterday for my husband had me scared but then i begun to do research and this is what i found..My husband kept saying it was a scam they rushed us off the phone when we began asking questions and they told us we will have to pay 8000.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

They did the exact same thing to me but I told them never to call again and they have been calling over and over and over again saying profanities - Mother f%^^&&** and my 7 year old daughter picked up the last call and got that. If these people had a brain they would be dangerous.

The guy calls me early in the morning and starts off screaming obscene and vulgar things at me.  When I hang up he'll continue to call me until I pick and then he'll scream and cuss me out.  He says he slept with me and he's going to sleep with my sister and my mother...he is just sick.   Somehow he plugs his number into a local number so when he calls the local number will show up on my phone and not his 504 number.  Clearly identity theft.  The local police have been notified and they are working on a identity theft case on this guy.  I hope they catch him soon.  In the meantime, I'm considering changing my number.

Keeps calling leaving messages about pressing charges on me by contacting my local police dept.

I just received a call from this guy for my mother. Saying the same thing that they have a lawsuit against her and that they have contacted the attorney general of pennsylvania and was going to contact the local sheriff's office for some payday loan site that does exist but they aren't a lender I've checked it says it on the bottom. Full of BS so I hung up and they called again and I did the same thing, hung up. I was able to block the call. If anyone has Comcast phone service you can do it too but simply hanging up, pressing the talk button and make sure they are not on the line and dial *60 then #01#, that will activate the block on the number that just called you.

this number is calling all over the hospitals,Asking for different people name . one is a.cova

Called this number back and he said he worked for American cash advance.  Refused to send me information on the debt that I supposedly owed told me he would see me in court.

Chris who claims he is an attorney at Taylor & Associates trying to tell me that I owe him X amount dollars and that I have provided them with several fraudglent checks. If I didn't pay immediately I would be arrested TODAY for a felony.
Chris calims I had a Pay Day Loan and they have  evidence of email activity proving that I had funds transfered into my bank account.  When I asked him for specific details about the loan (that I did not receive),  questions like what bank did your client deposit funds into?  When did this occur?  What was the amount?  He replied that he can not disclose this information to me.  That it would be provided in the case file that he will submit immediately and then hung up.  I continue to call him back demanding that he provide detailed information, he then provided me with the last four digits of my SSN and bank No.  and that the deposit was made on specific date (which there is no record of).  I told him I would mail him a check if he provided me a mailing address.  I heard him ask somebody what to do and they told him to tell me to go to 7-Eleven, Walgreens, or CVS and transfer the funds.  If anybody knows  the address of where this person is calling us from, please post so I can give him what he has coming.

They call me today stating that they was from Taylor and Associate and I was in debt for I think he said 9000, and he was going to sent paper work to the sheriff and I should turn myself in.

They told me I had to pay 9000

I'm going to try my best to find out where this [***] is calling from and see if something can be done about him.  It's a shame people have to stoop to such levels to get money.  GET A REAL JOB [***]!!!
