646-571-3386

This number will contact you stating there is a warrant for your arrest and they will also have your informations.  For example they had my previous address as well as the last 4 of my social security number.  They were claiming that I owed a bank money, once I threatened with my attorney they hung up.  The following day they left me a message claiming, "If you want to save yourself, you will call us back."  They are also claiming they are part of BCI, bureau of criminal something or other.  I reported this to my local police station and they have advised me of the other authorities I needed to contact.  They have been calling my cell phone and not my landline.

I got the same phone call from this person or persons. Not only were they calling my cell phone. They called my place of employment. I have been recieving harrassing phone calls from them since Friday November 19, 2010. They used the same scare tactics as the one above. I too threatened them with an attorney. But they are still calling and leaving messages.

They called me friday Dec. 3rd and said that if I didn't pay $1,467 in full they will put out a warrant for my arrest that same day! Mind you this is the first time that I've EVER heard from them!  They gave me the information of a bill that I had forgotten and said that the above amount was interest.  I was at work and flustered because I couldn't get to any information.  They became short with me and they agreed to give me an extension.  I called the company and paid the amount ($250) and waited for them to call. They called and she was screaming at me and I asked what the company name was that I owed on and she couldn't tell me and she patched me over to the "loan officer" Tom O'Brien...didn't sound like "O'Brien" and he said that he was going to put out a warrant and I said go ahead.

this person said he was from Federal Dept of Justice and that my husband owed money to a online lender "American" something... when asked again who'd he had a loan with he said, Cash Net USA... I again asked the gentleman what was the name of the company and he said Cash Net USA... I told him at first he said "American something".. and he kept on saying Cash Net USA, then said "American Cash Net USA"... i asked him for the account number or phone number for Cash Net USA and he would not give me any information. After telling the gentleman i was gonna report him, he hung up. I then called the number back and gave them a number to reach my husband.. (which was the local police station)... i bet that scared them!

I received a call the same way today saying that they are from Federal of Justice. The number showed on my cell phone was 911 incoming call. He left a message to call him at 646-571-3386 ext 9828. He answered the phone and then i asked to transfer to 9828. Took him few minutes and a voice answered but it was him just try to disguise. He asked my name and verify the spelling and then ask for the last digit of my SSN and that is when I said wait a minute I do not give information on the phone and especially when he sounds like he was calling from India with a heavy accent. Right away i google this number and found this site. People, you need to report this number to the police of your area.

Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

12/01/2010—The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check cashing services.

One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The method by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim’s relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt.

These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller.

If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:

■Contact your banking institutions;
■Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
■Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
■File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Fraudulent Notification Deceives Consumers Out of Thousands of Dollars

11/29/2010—The IC3 continues to receive reports of letters and e-mails being distributed pursuant to prize sweepstakes or lottery schemes. These schemes use counterfeit checks that bear legitimate-looking logos of various financial institutions to fool victims into sending money to the fraudsters.
 
Fraudsters tell victims they won a sweepstakes or lottery, but to receive a lump sum payout, they must pay the taxes and processing fees upfront. Fraudsters direct individuals to call a telephone number to initiate a letter of instructions. The letter alleges that the victim may elect to take an advance on the winnings to make the required upfront payment. The letter includes a check in the amount of the alleged taxes and fees, along with processing instructions. Ultimately, victims believe they are using the advance to make the required upfront payment, but in reality they are falling prey to the scheme.

The victim deposits the check into their own bank, which credits the account for the amount of the check before the check clears. The victim immediately withdraws the money and wires it to the fraudsters. Afterwards, the check proves to be counterfeit and the bank pulls the respective funds from the victim’s account, leaving the victim liable for the amount of the counterfeit check plus any additional fees the bank may charge.

Persons may fall victim to this scheme due to the allure of easy money and the apparent legitimacy of the check the fraudsters include in the letter of instruction. The alleged cash prizes and locations of the financial institutions vary.

Tips to avoid being scammed:


■A federal statute prohibits mailing lottery tickets, advertisements, or payments to purchase tickets in a foreign lottery.
■Be leery if you do not remember entering a lottery or sweepstakes.

The same number is calling our office looking for a person how works for us.  I began speaking with him due to the fact that he calls everyday several times per day.  Today I spoke with him and he began telling me he is now calling because he is in love with me and wants to "sex" me.  These people are nuts!  When we hung up on him he called back and asked why we hung up on him.  He still continues to call!

These guys just called me as well.  The guy this time is insisting there is a warrant out for my arrest by the state.  They also called previously (in December) from a different number (772-245-2107) and when I insisted they show me some documentation that I owe them money, they said they could not as it would be considered defemation of character.  I told them I would not pay without some proof that I owed them (knowing that I did not) and he started yelling at me.  It is actually quite frightening.  Next time I will give them the local police department as well as someone previously posted.  AWFUL!

Received threating calls from 646-571-3386.  Caller has information and calls cell, work and home phone.

I kept getting calls from this number and they left several messages claiming they are from the Federal Dept. Justice from New York.  I returned the call and to find out, and they said I owed money from a Payday Loan, from CashNet USA, which I never took.  They said I defaulted and I had to pay $895.00. All sanity went out the window, since I just wanted to end it all, and I ended up paying them $534.00.  After I made the payment, I decided to look up the info they gave me.  The alleged name of the law firm was Heal Comfort Inc. from Newington Connecticut, which was bogus!  I felt so stupid!  I cancelled my visa card and reported them to the Federal Trade Commission.  I also reported the incident to my bank.
These people are evil, and they all have very thick Indian or Pakistani accent from what it sounded like to me, but they all calim to have caucasian/anglo names.  They call themselves officers.... Officer Megan Johnson, Officer Sean White, and the guy from Heal Comfort, which now I'm sure was one of them also, was Mike Crawford.  I hope these scammers get busted soon!

what bothers me the most is that they give english names and cant even speak english

Claims to be debt collector from payday loan that I did NOT have.  Threatening messages asking for attorney info. and saying "God Bless You and Good Luck".  Speak VERY broken english.  Gives Amercian/English name with STRONG middle-eastern accent.  ie: Officer Mark Reneiecen, Aaron Thompson, John Adams.

Hi Jim, I am sorry to hear about your situation. This person, broke the law uner the Fair Debt Collection Act.I will mention just a few things that  It is against the law for them to do :
* Use threats of vilence or harm
* May not use any false or misleading statements when collecting a debt
* Falsley imply that they are attorneys or government representatives
* Falsely imply that you have committed a crime
* Send you anythng that looks like an official document from a court or government agency when it is not
* Use a False name

You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win you may recover money for the damages you suffered plus an additional $1,000. Court costs and fees can also be recovered. A group of people also may sue a debt collector and recover damages up to $5000,000 or 1% of the collectors net worth. I hope this information was helpful. For additional help email me at   stopdebtharassment@live.com

Emergency 911 came up on my cell phone.  Caller claimed to work for Federal Dept of Justice, gave their name as "Office Shawn Woods", clearly this was not his real name.  He said he was calling about an acquaintance of mine stating they were identified in a law suit with 4 allegations against them.  Told my friend, she said it was bogus.  I googled the number, found this site.  I called the number back.  I told them that misrepresenting themselves as the Federal Government is illegal and I was going to report them.  They hung up on me.  I called back, gave them my name, said what they are doing is illegal, I'm reporting them and to not call me again.  As he was hanging up he said he would continue to call me once a day.

I too have also got calls from these people threating to put me in jail and that they are going to down load an arrest warrant.  The man that calls I can not understand what he is saying.  Very broken up english.  Also tells me to meet them at court.  I would just like them to stop calling me.  It is very annoying.

I usually read these and they always say its a scam this however is a scam please do not give them any information or money.

I reported them to the FBI and IC3 and they are known scam artists just FYI for nay sayers who think they are real

I can't beleive I fell for this!!!!! The name of the company that debited money from my account was Heal Comfort Inc., in Newington, CT, which by the way, has an F rating from the BBB, but I was told that "Kevin Jackson(yea right!)was an attorney from Hudson Law Group in New York...I fell for it once, and I never would have known any better, but they called me a second time in one day, This time "Jeff Clark" from the Federal Justice Department, wanting more money from some other non-existent loan that I didn't pay back...once I caught on to the scam and confronted them about it the NEXT time they called, I was threatened with arrest, being fired from my job, and being sued...I laughed at them, I'm pretty sure I can't get sued from a fake attorney at a fake law group with a fake name....I have filed a police report, and am waiting to be reembursed for the money i lost from the bank..I REALLY hope we can take these F****RS down!!!!!
