7868003107

I have got a call from this number and this is what he says.

"Yes my name is Steven James. I'm calling from a legal medeation firm. I am a private investagator working on a case that has my name and social security number attached to it. I would strongly advise that you give me or my associates a call immediatly in order to prevent legal action from being taken. Give me a call now at 786 800 3107, once again that number is 786 800 3107. Please understand this is a time sensitive matter, therefore it would require an immediate response."

Anybody got an idea of who the h**l this is and how to make them go away!!!! I'm so sick and tired of this fool. I live in Idaho area code 208 so why is he calling me. Where is he from. Give me an address and I'll personaly fly there and go pay him a visit. I call them back, and the chicken s**t won't answer my calls.
Thanks

Complete scam.  Don't give him the time of day - if you had any "legal" issues, you'd be receiving lots of letters from a lawyer's office - not some threatening phone call from a PI.  Anyway, sounds like the foreign scammers - no such thing as a "case" with your "name and social security number attached to it."  Block the number.

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

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.

Also good info at the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau:

Same here they call at least 8 times a day

Thanks  for the  info  just did that

Most likely just trying to collect on a "past" pay-day loan of some sort that was taken out and not paid. These individuals buy the debt from the company and hope that by using the "tactic" they use, hope to scare people into paying the bill so they can make some money off it. If there was no past bill there would be no calls. Have to take the good with the bad. Some are legitimate scammers so be careful and good luck.

...oxymoron!  "Some are legitimate scammers.." - nope - people get calls even if there IS no bill, let alone a past bill!  Next!

I have been getting calls from this number the past few days.  So I answered today and the lady said I got a pay day loan online May of 2013 and never paid it back.  Which is complete [***] and I told her so.  Told her to not call my phone number again and all she said was they would go ahead with legal proceedings and good luck to me.  Complete [***]!

Been called three times now..  it sounds like a scam.  From the start. They said I owe 995 then they said they would take 150 today and set up arrangement.  Then transferred me to another line and it was a guy calling bout the same thing I was calling bout.  Sound fishy.  .........immediately it's my name is steven james I'm calling from the legal mediation firm I'm a private investigator working on a case that has your name and social security number attached to it I was strongly advised that you gave me or my associates a call immediately in order to prevent legal action from being taken give me a call now at 78 see 8003107 once again that number is (786) 800-3107 please understand this is a time sensitive matter therefore would require a we immediate response.

I received multiple calls with messages that said there is a pending case against my name and social security number. I called back i was put on hold and when i finally talked to someone they refused to give me any information. They wouldn't give me the company's name or amoubt i owed. When i asked the lady if it was for a payday loan she hung up on me. When i called back they automatically put me on hold. Fraudulent company.

Call blocker is your best bet and do not return the call. This looks like some sort of debt scamming operating.

Same old , same old,  group of white collar criminals that go around calling people up and saying there are “charges” against them.  Usually there are supposed to be two fraud charges (they love that two charge nonsense) and that these charges are going brought in your county.   This time they start that "investigator" clap-trap. And that "charges" are pending against your SSN.  Whivh is absurd.  How can an SSN be charged with anything.   They change CID and phone numbers all the time and nobody has been able to find them.
They will not ID themselves properly; they usually say “processing division” or some such other totally  meaningless phrase when you ask who they are.
If they have a valid debt, tell them to send you a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.  Of course they won’t do this, so just ignore them and block their  calls.

From another site the address is 2665 S Bayshore Dr Miami FL 33133, they are so annoying.. we should all harass them back!!

The same thing happened to me, except mine was a John Roberts (720-496-4250). He's saying it's from a pay day loan application- an APPLICATION- and that nothing had been loaned out, but the amount owed was the processing fee (who has heard of such? It's ludicrous!). It gets better; he said that it was from 2011 at an old address. Here's the kicker...I wasn't even living at that address during that time. I had moved to a different state altogether in 2010. He accused me of playing games with him just for asking for his company name. I eventually got it and I've already contacted my lawyer. Next up is the attorney general's office.
