818-666-7269

called and tried to tell my girl friend she owe 229.00$ and if she did not pay she would go to jail some loan company took a warrant out for her i truly believe its a scam

Someone from this number called me and tried repeatedly to extort money.

Got a phone call saying it was Deputy John New and if I didn't pay $3,000 they would have me arrested at my job. When I tried to call back this weekend his voicemail said John Davis. How do I get them to stop calling my job ????

They called me today n said I going to be reported if I didn't send them 689.00 and I would be arrested at my work and have a warrant out for my arrest that's crazy and his voicemail said a different name as well!!! Think this is a scam!! How do I get them to stop calling my cell phone n my job??? The guy said his name was John Marshall but his voicemail said John Davis

Got a call from "From 911" at my office phone and identified himself as Deputy Lennon Carter from the LA Police Department. Left the 818-666-7269 number as a call back. This is a scam.

It is a scam, and good for you all for not falling for it.

Report it to your local police department.

I received the same phone call from 818-666-7269,
He said he is calling from LAPD and his name is
Deputy John Davis, he said I owed $1,791.00 for
A payday loan I received, he said if I don't pay $500.00
On Monday, come Tuesday they will come arrest me at work.
I kept asking questions, I even asked for the address,
He got mad. I called LAPD and the Officer told me that
One, LAPD are not Deputies they are a Officers,
Second LAPD does not call and collect money from
People who owe money. The Officer said this Is a
Scam, if he keeps on calling you blow a whistle in the
Phone. I'm still freaking out bcuz he calls my work and
Leaves messages with my co workers.
I did have the number 818-666-7269 it's a debt collector.

818-666-7269......they called my cellphone and told my sister that if I don't call them back I was go get pick up the next day and go to jail......I JUST WISH THIS COULD STOP RIGHT NOW AND WHOEVER IS DOING THIS THEY NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR LIFE!!!

They are calling my job and my cell from a "911" and leaving messages to call back on the 818-666-7269 or I am going to be arrested at my job.

Rag-headed co&^-sucker has been trying this scam on me, posing as various people whom his ridiculously thick accent he couldn't possibly be. I leave him messages that would scare the living crap out of anyone, and I willl not repeat the foulness I spoke here. Suffice it to say never, ever, ever buy into a word someone says when they send you threats on the phone. EVER!

This same thing happened to me and it was quite funny that when asked for paperwork he had none. I checked my bank account and nothing was on there either.  Please be very careful with who you give your info too. Also with what numbers you answers. The guys name is John Davis!!!!

Have been getting calls from this 8186667269 phone number from a john Davis  says he is LAPD. They have a warrant out for me. Then ask me where they can send my $300 back that I sent them I don't understand hardly anything he is saying. He has to repeat almost everything just. So you can understand him . Very foreign speaking people .

This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

Read this investigative report ABC News did on this scam:

Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans have been targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers suspected of links to organized crime in India, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The calls are part of a massive scam, one that appears to target struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claim to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, have managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place.

"This is what we call a phantom debt collection scam," said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. "It's a very pernicious and innovative new fraud."

Working through call centers in India, the commission estimates that the criminals have dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some have reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. They are victims like Cindy Gervais, of New Orleans, who went online for a quick loan when her husband's car was hit by a driver who didn't have insurance.

Even though she paid the loan off, the so-called "phantom" debt collectors with Indian accents began calling to say she still owed money.

"He more or less told me that if I didn't pay, they were going to have someone on my doorstep to arrest me," she told ABC News. "And that they were going to contact my place of business, and tell them what kind of person I am."

At first, she said she resisted. Then the calls became more frequent, and started to ring on her cell phone, and at the grocery distribution company where she had worked for 27 years.

"I was more or less in panic mode because he told me there would be someone before noon at my place of business to arrest me and take me to jail," she said tearfully. "So I agreed to pay him."

After receiving scores of complaints, investigators with the FTC said they began tracking the calls, and following the payments. They alleged the payments led them to a California company run by an Indian-American named Kirit Patel, and that such scams would not be possible without American front men.

"I would say that all roads of this scam, or many of the roads of this scam, lead back to Mr. Patel," said the FTC's Leibowitz.

ABC News tracked Patel for weeks, from the suburbs of San Francisco to Austin, Texas.

Patel refused to talk. But his lawyer, Mark Ellis, said he believes it is far too early to pass judgment on his client. Ellis, a Sacramento-based attorney, told ABC News that Patel was hired for a nominal fee to set up an American shell company, and had no idea what the call centers in India were doing.

"I can tell you, he was as snookered by the people in India as anybody," Ellis said. "He's a 69-year-old man who is nearing his retirement who thought all he had to do was set up some corporations and everything was on the up and up. He's completely dismayed that he has become the lightning rod of this entire problem."

A close friend of Patel's also defended him in a brief interview at his home, saying Patel was not trying to defraud anyone -- he was just an unwitting, bit player in a larger scheme.

I was scamed of $ 800.45..They told me that they took over a loan collection co. and I fell for it.I was trying to keep my problems to myself without telling my husband. Thank god my husband found out and stopped me. Because I was going to send them more money. My husband told them that he knows who they are,(with some verbal words) and he said "ha ha I got your money". The only thing I can say is $800.45 lesson that will not happen again..
 P.s.  my husband said hes going to get his money worth by calling them every hour..

I almost fell for this Indian accent Deputy John Davis....of LAPD...using 818-666-7269 number.  He harassed me for associated court fees of $1786 in addition to the debt collection.  He said he would start legal actions by submitting papers to the DA office if I can not pay this refundable fee.  He also said I would be arrested at my work if the warrant was issued.
Don't believe this MF Indian-accent cow dung low life!!!! It's a scam.
