    A message was left on my phone stating that my daughter had to contact them immediately because there were going to be two charges against her and me for trying to obtain an online loan under fraud.  That was supposed to have occurred in July, 2011.  They had our last 4 digits of our S.S. numbers and some other information concerning my daughter's bank account (which she no longer had at the time they said she tried to make the loan) and her work place.  The work place was not even correct for that time frame either.  She called them back and was told at first it wasn't even her they were looking for and gave her another name.  Then, when she called back, someone else told her that she would receive a summons in 14 days, but they would not divulge any information to her at all about how much the loan was supposed to have been for and even if she received it.  After two days of worrying about this, I told my other daughter about this.  She googled and found out that it is a scam.  These people must really be bored with nothing better to do than to try to hurt people.  I don't know how they manage to get S.S. numbers or any information about the people they scam.  But, something should be done to stop them.  I'm just glad I found out before it went any further.  I usually don't answer unfamiliar calls and didn't this time.  They left a message instead.

    Ignore and block.  Total scam.  Charges are only filed by public prosecutors.  Not by scammery debt collectors.  "Fraudulent activity on your SS#" is the signature of common debt scammers.  How can anyone have "fraudulent" activity on one's SSN?  It's an absurd accusation on its face.  Fraud in any event is a crime and would by handled by public prosecutors, and law enforcement, not scammery debt collectors.  The service of summons doesn't forfeit anyone's rights.

    Ignore them and block their calls.

    Report them:

    http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection  (Threatening criminal prosecution in order to collect a civil debt is a clear violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act).

    Also contact your local attorney general

    If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money,  tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  You should yell at them and talk over them.   Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.  If you can find them.

    Iv received numerous calls from these telephone terrorists...they use numerous numbers from different states that are routed through a routing relay center, making it almost impossible for police and phone companies  to trace them..they call your work...tell your personal business to anyone who will listen ,( shaming tactics used to get someone to quickly pay up) which happns to be illegal to do...google FTC collection rules and regs...these people call your family and share your personal business...they already have your personal info...ie bdate ss# addresses past and current..they even have a list of cars you own.

    These people threaten to call your neighbors and tell them your using their ss#for credit. They threaten to come to your house with intent of doing harm to you.

    File a police report...put EVERY threat they make towards you down in the report.

    They are NOT legal debt collectors...they are thuggs and addicts looking to score tax free loot to feed their drug habits.

    As long as there are people foolish enough to allow these terrorists to make an illegal buck...they will keep at it.

    They are no different than the scum who sticks a gun in your face and threatens to shoot you if you dont hand over your money...

    Extortion
    Robbery

    Its all theft

    Just another prank caller scumbag

    How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
    Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

    The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

    The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

    The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

    The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
    If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

    Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

    Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
    The amount of the debt
    The name of the creditor you owe
    A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
    If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

    Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

    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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
    Charging your existing credit cards
    Opening new credit card or checking accounts
    Writing fraudulent checks
    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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

    Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

    Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

    Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

    Keep receiving voice messages from this number claiming fraudulent activity with name and social security number. However, they would not give me their address when I called back.

    Read what Alfalfa and CWG40 posted above - if you were really going to be served a legal summons, you wouldn't get a call about it first - the process server just shows up.  If you had committed fraud, you could expect a visit from the local police - who also would not give you a heads up of their arrival!  Report the calls to your state's Attorney General - you can find your state AG at this link - www.naag.org (National Association of Attorneys General), and block this number.
