Rec'd 2 calls.  1st no VM left. 2nd was from Brad Houston from Vantage Processing (?) and he claims I have a returned item from Wells Fargo (account closed almost 2 years ago).  He has pending paperwork and needs call back today to resolve.  I get these calls all the time - never been served any papers, rec'd no summons, have nothing pending in court.  SCAM

Claims they are from JP Morgan Bank. I have an outstanding  payday loan.They have pending paperwork and need call back today to resolve.  I  also get these calls all the time - never been served any papers, rec'd no summons,

Get calls from this number almost daily. Normally there is no message left. But yesterday the message said he was calling in reference to a case that I am a party to that has come across his desk and he needs to hear from me asap to prevent any further legal action against me. He said I should ask for Investigator Lucas like he's with law enforcement!  These scammers really will stop.at nothing to trick you into handing over your hard earned money!!! Thank God for this site or I would have been calling an attorney today and spending money I don't have to protect myself from nothing but a scam! This Investigator Lucas did NOT say what company he was calling me for in hopes that I would think he really is law enforcement. Its just disgusting what these companies will do!

They left me a phone number to call back which was different from the number they called from. It was 2242150024. This is a Chicago number and I used to live in Chicago and there was a bunch of scammers running out of there, where people got your phone number from an old payday loan that you did. I did a online payday loan 5 years ago and I get calls all the time from everywhere stating that the law or court was coming to get me. Then at the end of the VM they state that this is an official notification for court purposes. Honestly a VM can never be an official notification. That's why you get served by a process server or the police. Just a scammer. After 5 years of this BS it is what it is.

They try to sound official. lol. Of course, they cannot know that I work in the legal field and their "threatening" voicemail is pure garbage. This is not how summons are served. You don't get a call saying if immediate action is not taken you will be served at work. You just serve the person or institution. I have not had one time where I gave someone a heads up, "oh yeah by the way I am going to serve you..." lol

Just got the same exact call from Detective Lucas. How they can say what they say to con you is disgusting. They should never be able to portray law enforcement, EVER!!

Call from Frank Lucas.  Said his secretary had been trying to contact me but I've never received a call before. Said he was with Phoenix Processing in the legal department.  Left number of 270-238-0109 ext 309.  That is an Owensoboro KY number so I know it is not correct.  Said this was my final courtesy call.  I am so sick of these scammers.  Do they think we are morons?

Got a few of these calls. I mentioned that I wanted to see a hard copy of the debt but they stated they emailed weeks ago. I told them that I was having a hard time understanding them and call back later. Took them over a week to try again same unclear message

just happen to me a few minutes ago. stating that his name is Frank Lucus and that something had come across his desk and this call is being recorded for legal matters and i need to call him  at his direct line 210-622-8061 ext 309.or legal action would take place. this number is a landline in Atascosa, Texas.

Got the same call today from a frank lucus stating all the same things from the past post came from this number 844-215-9105 he said he was from Phoenix processing center

Just talked to the same guy and he stated I had a debt from some Hydro Financial from 2010 through and account that I haven't had in over 5 years. These people are crazy. I asked for paperwork and he said it has been mailed to me several times and I said well send it again because I haven't received anything. He kept repeating so you don't want our services. I just blocked there number

Cowardly scammers phishing Facebook for relatives' phone numbers. They called my DIL and threatened my son when he took the phone from her. He made it clear to them that if they ever called or threatened him again, he would "tie them up in court for a long time". They hung up and never called back.

I have ignored their calls but now they are calling my work and claims to be Investigator Greer and that if I don't clal back 1-844-215-9105 ext. 308 that they will be sending a sherriff out to get me.  I have a feeling that this is a SCAM!!  It is embarrassing when they call your work!!  I HATE SCAMMERS!  They always try to scare you!  Thank GOD for sights like this!!

These SCAMMER'S won't stop calling my work.  What can I do to stop them?  Someone please help me!!  I am afraid that I might get fired because of this?

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.
