Said his name was thomas wright with the crime investigation bureau but would not say what company.

Said his name was Dan Stubert with the State of California Sheriff's Department.  His badge number is 9255.  Said that I needed 3000.00 as I was being sued for not paying a loan.

I just got a call at my place of work...on my extension no less. It states NO WHERE at my job that this is my extension because  it is a public extension, so how did they get it?? Called me' and said he was attorney Carl Cooper and that I was being indited for 3 counts of fraud By the financial crimes investigation burro. This guy knew all my information from my place of work down to my ss#. what is this place and is it legitimate?? Idk but I'd like to find out.

I got the same call from this place. They said I took a loan out for $400.00 dollars and did not pay it back. So now I owe $5000.00 dollars and have 3 charges of fraud on my record. They are harassing me at my place of employment. They need to be brought up on charges of fraud themselfs.

Caller can barely speak English, I'm gonna say this is fraud. They sound like they are in a huge room, like a telemarketing room.

got the same call it is fraud i had my lawyers office return the call and they hung up on them after they found out it was a attorny

I was getting calls from this number claiming to be the fraud dept for the united states government, and Carl Cooper was the officer that wanted to talk to me, and they were going to bring me up on charges for 498.00 for a loan i put in for (pay day loan), I never put in for a loan, almost it, but when i found out it was a pay day loan, I did n't submit it, they have all my information, they were calling me six to eight times a day on my cell phone, When i talked to them and they were screaming at me, they told me that my social security number will be black listed and i would not get social security benefits until I paid the loan back,  and they knew where i worked and they would be calling my work for payment and that is when i laughed,when I told them that my husband works for Homeland Security, and we can trace the number, I did not get another call.

i got a call from this same guy Carl Cooper telling me that i owed a payday loan and that if i dint pay as of yesterday, i was going to get arrested and taken to california jail.....this guy needs to be investigated because this is ridiculous....

I am still receiving call from this man.  He is obviosly a fraud.  What can be about this?  It needs to be reported to the authorities.

My husband got a phone call from Carl Cooper. Said he was an attorney and that my husband is being charged with fraud for $5000 and needed $400 to settle the account. He gave us a name to send the western union to and not a company or a loan company let alone an attorneys office.  He then told my husband who is in the military that he is going to arrested today. Looked up the attorney of Carl Cooper and this popped up. They need to be investigated and sued by everyone on here for fraud and identity theft for knowing ALL of our information.

They are using  different number too.  818-925-4132

also this number they use. 619-924-0448

I received the same type of call today. They new I had an unpaid loan and had all my information. THey said I was being charged with intentional fraud They got me to pay 111.00. They said they were calling from CHS Mediation. The name on my statement came up Cooper Financial LLC in Ohio. I tried looking up a correction agency and the number no such luck

They also use 206-905-4534. I have filed a report and notified the police dept.

I looked it up on white pages and its a man's home. George A. Asopoulos. Looked number up on white pages as well said it was from glendale,CA.

got a call from a guy and a woman named investigater Heather Williams, claiming that I owe for a loan and they are headed to court today to file charges. I told the guy to send me a statement if i owe something! He asked for my address, I said if you are an investigater and I owe you something, you should know the address lol He got angry and hung up!!

I just got a call from Carl Cooper saying I will be arrested and I owed for loans..I could pay it not or take it to court and pay more..why isn't something being done about this..Im sure older people are being scared to death and no telling how much money they are getting

What more would you like "being done about this" apart from federal lawsuits, major news investigations, warnings from the FTC and state attorneys general, and many thousands of comments on sites like this advising people of their legal rights? YOU are the someone who has to "do something about this" when you are victimized.

This is extortion dressed as debt collection. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. As early as possible it's critical to determine if your collector is domestic or yet another South Asian faker. The former you can sue into submission; the latter tend to be out of reach.

My notes from October 2011 on payday loan and "hot check" collectors are linked below.

THANK you, Resident!

People have to (somehow) understand they have to be proactive in putting a stop to these scams. Nobody can do it for them.
