Received a call from "IPM and Associates" wanting me to contact them about a federal case and wanting a statement of intent in order to exonerate me.  Caller mumbled through the consequences of what will happen when I don't call, then became perfectly clear as to how to contact them.

i got the same exact thing as BONES..is this a collection agency or what??? why do they say federal case??

I got a call from them twice in the last few days....they scared the crap out of me saying that I would be dealing with a criminal charge if I didn't contact them immediately and paid money for some debt.  I called my local public defender's office in San Francisco and the lawyer there said that what they were doing and saying was illegal and extortion.  I am looking to file a formal complaint asap.

I just received a call from this number twice.  How did you report this?  Thank you!

I just got a call at work saying they are investigating a criminal act and that I need to contact them immediately. They are a collection agency doing bad practice. You can contact a lawyer and sue them for money due to the Fair Credit Act.

I just got a call at my work and cell stating the same thing that this is a criminal act and to contact immediately thanks

The caller would not tell me who he worked for and the only things he could say was that a company was accusing me of writing a bad check with a bank account thats been closed for 4 years and I needed to clear this up before it becomes a federal offense. He had my social, my email, and my current address. He was very shady and continues to call me stating I need to clear this matter up.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim 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.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

This is exactly what happened to me yesterday. They called my sister. But tho also isn't the first time its happened either. It started about 3 years ago and since I in the collection field for work his threats were idle to me without the proof I requested. But the had stopped at that point. Why they started again? I may have to take tho to a higher power.

Got a voicemail stating that I never paid back a payday loan which I had proof I did but the caller insisted that I never did and wanted payment to resolve the matter before I was served with court summons I believe this to be a scam because I have my bank statements to prove that it was paid but now that I won't answer their calls they contine to leave messages

I got a call from the same person Danielle Anderson saying I owe money to a payday loan which I did do however it has been paid for years I stopped answering her calls but she contines to call me any advice thanks

Read what Tamianth posted above - this is a scam.

Block the number on your phone, or look into getting a call blocker.

A guy calling himself "Mr. Welch" from PLCS calls me from this number daily. He calls my work number. I told him I cannot receive calls at work but he continues to do it. I had my attorney friend contact him.  This is a scam!  Hang up immediately.  Tell them you know it is a scam and not to call. Then block their number.

Thanks for the advice I knew it was a possible scam because I had my proof that all my payday loans have been paid off don't fall for this they will try to make u believe that u owe the debt lets all help each other caught these scammers! Everybody beware these people always change their numbers and name but my caller was named Danielle Anderson and company name PLCS & associates! Good luck everybody

This is happening to me daily as well from "Brandon Welch".  I have reported it to the police.  I just got off the phone with them.  I recorded the conversation and gave them my attorney's number.

Scamers are the scum of the earth pray on innocent people they need to get real jobs or fall off the face of the earth either or works

I just received the same call this lady has called me in the past I asked for paper work never received anything today she transferred the call to a man claiming to be a mediator to help collect the debt and that I owed a very night amount of 900.00 but they can settle right now for 400. I asked again for paper work he just went on n on bout resolving the issue. First time they called it was a private number I hung up than they called back with a new York number.

Could be the remains of Integrated Portfolio Management.   I called that 716 number but they would not give me any information.  No idea what PLCS stands for.  They appear to be related to the below groups with a long history of scamming on 800notes.

Last known address:

Integrated Portfolio
Management, Inc.
800 Springer Drive
Lombard, IL 60148

Their license was revoked in 2009 in Connecticut.
