844-246-0221

Got a call from (Danielle green the so called lead investigator) this number saying I owed a debt and would have a warrant issued because of it,they were unable to give me any information and when i called the company they clamed to be representing they had no clue as to what i was talking about,

Just got the same call from this Danielle Green lady. Sounded like the same [***] that answered the phone. Scam all the way. I told her to come arrest me if I got a warrant and she hung up. They got nothing on me.

I just got a call from an "unknown" number - with no call back option - the guy I talked to said his name was Steven McIntrye - he gave me the above number as a call back.  It was supposedly a criminal complaint against my son from 2011. He claimed I was a co-applicant on a federally funded loan and it was in default.  I never signed any paperwork so how could they have approved me as a co-applicant??  Also they said it was for "Check into Cash" loan, maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe they are federally funded.  Why can't people just work for a living instead of harassing those of us that do?

They called my son told him that there was a report man on me his mother for fraud under his information. I called them this lady said hold on I will get supervisor she came back same voice. She said it is Check Into Cash. I said yes I do owe that and been looking to find out how to start paying them back. She said well you are in criminal fraud I said really how do you figure? I said I had an active checking account at that time so how is it fraud? I said my son was only a contact person. Don't you ever call and leave him a message stating I am under investigation for fraud. She said we will see you in court I said so be it serve me what you got. Then I called back asked for her address she said we only have a POBOX. I said okay give me that. She told me to F off and hung up on me. These people are idiots. I owe a check place yes, but I didn't do anything in fraud against my son. IDIOTS. I said serve me what I need or STFU

Just got a call from "Jessica Martin" saying that there was a fraud charge against me, with no details. Confused.
Saying they are from the United States Investigative Services, but the call system when I try to call back is super generic and doesn't indicate that I have reached the right place at all. Doesn't seem legit.

I got a call from a Susan K, saying that she forwarded a criminal matter to the San Diego Investigation Fraud department. I told her that I'm an attorney and i'd like to get more information on these so called "criminal" charges. She could not give me any information at all, I sited code sections and still could not provide me with paperwork. I told her I called the SDPD & gave them the "Case" number & they had zero infomation on this as well. I called the number back from one of our work lines & spoke to a guy named Steven, he said he was looking for a Roxana Castillo my name is nowhere near that name, and tells me it was a wrong number. This whole thing is a scam, there debt collectors trying to make a quick buck back throwing around the "United States"  like it's the thing to do. Think i'll file a complaint against them. Don't fall for this BS.

This number tried to call me he said his name was Steven , I told him this was a scam and he sighed and said " * sigh* I can't deal with this today .. Sir this is not a scam " I just hung up and ignored him .

Minutes ago I called them and said [***] off and their reaction was hilarious

The caller was a female, african american, EXTREMELY rude when I called and asked her to explain to me exactly what kind of company I was calling. She once again it was the fraud department and when I kept probing for more information, she wished me a REST OF MY MISERABLE DAY!   Unbelievable!!!!

Jessica Martin called us investigative service.  She filed a stop order to Sbcpd.  Scammer. The phone number I 844-246-0221. They left a voice mail.

I just received a message from the same number and person, are these people real?

This same number 844-246-0221 called my husband and said they had issues a warrant for arrest over the phone.  They referenced his last four of his social and gave him a case number.  ID stated they were from Lyon County.  Appears to be a collection agency.

This is NOT a collection agency. This is a criminal extortion scam. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and/or disposable cell phones to alter their names/locations. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting victims' 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.

My husband said that my step son had written a bad check and that there was a possibility of fraud and that he was involved.  They had the addresses for our home and our previous home, plus the last four of his social.  And they knew my step son's name.  All easy to get from a intellius search.

Total debt scamming operation.  Call themselves U.S. Investigative Services. Also say they are a "mediation" firm.   No such company that I can find.  Typical phony threats of arrests, warrants and the rest of it.

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection  (Threatening criminal process to collect a civil debt is a clear violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection 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 might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her.  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.

Total debt scammers.  Ignore and block their calls.

Report them:

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.

I received a call this past Monday, May 18, and was told by a Miss Williams that there was a federal warrant for my arrest for a debt collection from a couple of years ago.  She said she was with some federal investigation team.  After some research on a website similar to this, I now know that wasn't true, and I notified my bank as well.

threatening to come to my door with "armed officer, for protection of process server", if I don't show up in court on specified day I will be arrested. Placed on hold, I hung up. They called back demanding I call this number immediately. Mentioned the court case involved a relative that he named. Though the caller had much accurate information I did not confirm anything. I have received one more call, one hour later, but no message was left.

My son recieved a call from 844-246-0221 telling him he had co-signed on a check loan for me.  The lady stated she was from the US Investigation - Fraud Investigation Unit.  She stated they were turning it over the Larimer County in Colorado and if not paid I would go to jail.  The next day he recieved a call from 970-498-7875 and a man stated he was from Larimer County and he repeated what the first caller had said.  The check loan was from Check into Cash in Idaho Falls, ID. and was turned in on a bankruptcy.
