855-303-2206

I got a call from a blocked number. They said they needed to serve me with paperwork. I call there above number and it was a very abusive guy from the department of legal services. They said I took a payday loan from Allied Cash Advance in 2007. This is a complete scam. He said that their address is 909 Broadway Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14212. This address does not exist in Buffalo. Do not give these clowns a dime!!

I recieved this same infomration from this company they threatened for legal trouble it puzzled me, what did you do to handle the situation. Did you ever recieve a legal summons from this alleged company?

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process.  They will deliver the notification without warning.

(Here is more info than you really need on process serving:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_of_proce ... nited_States.29 )

Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam

"The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer."

"Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court."

A lady called me to say that she was from The Department of Legal Services and they were going to issue an warrant to my place of employment or to my home. She asked me for the last four digits of my social security number. I don't give that information to just anybody and I also told her that since she already had my social security number and other information, then just send the warrant to my home address. She got really upset and hung up.

I just received a call in regards to my son being served papers, they seem to have all kinds of info on him, but I've no idea what his last 4 numbers of his SSN are.  He doesn't live with me and I asked why they are calling, they said so I could tell him he was being served, I kept asking what it was about and they said I needed to call 855-303-2206 and gave me a case # to go with it.  I looked it up immediately and found all this.  But it seemed to be a scare tactic to get info out of someone.  Spoke to my son and he said sounded like a scam to him.

I received a call from them the day before Thanksgiving stating the same thing!!

My son received a call almost identical to these. They said he owed over $4500 but if settled in the next 48 hrs he could pay only the $965. He was told if not he would be processed and do 3 yrs in prison. I called the company and got basically nothing except what he needed to pay. Decided to do a google search and came up with nothing on company. They said they were only set up to take debit or prepaid cards could not do money orders or certified check.  Am not sending them a dime.

Total scam.  Only judges issue warrants and they are only granted to duly constituted officers of the law and are served in person by duly constituted officers of the law.  Debt collectors have no powers of arrest or any influence on the criminal justice system.

Basically a scare tactic to try to get money out of you.

I received the exact same call and they told me the same info as you.

This is a 100% B.S. call. The legal system does NOT work like this. Private debt collection company trying to frighten people into paying quickly before you realize NOTHING will happen if you don't. Ignore them or laugh at them before you hang up on them.

Got a message last night, same as all of the above.  Called me by a last name I haven't been 13yrs.  gave me the same phone number and a case number, couldn't find anything online.  They said they had to serve me papers to my home or work and had my social security number.  googled them and also tried to google any said case number, nothing came up.  

My daughter received the same call harassing her and asking for money. a "Michael Perry" told her she took out a $3000 "payday loan" in 2007. they said they mailed out letters to her and to myself. I told them I never received the letter and he said he doesn't know why. My daughter also told him she did not receive anything in the mail. He said my daughter will be summoned to court and she should bring a lawyer. I asked him-- if this is so serious, why wasn't a certified letter mailed. He really didn't have an answer.  I told him I plan on calling the BBB and Federal Trade Commission 888-382-1222 and he said 'go ahead and call anyone I want'.  I suggest calling both of these to report this. also go on National Consumer Fraud website

I received a call from a lady saying she was from legal services the first call was someone saying they were going to serve me papers. So I called the number above and when the phone was answered the person said hello, not legal services nothing I thought I had the wrong number. Then the person on the phone told me I took out a payday loan and the total owed was 1100 dollars from 2007.  She said I was sent papers in 2011 which I wasn't. then she said if I don't pay 263.00 every two weeks I would go to court and have to pay over 4000. I asked for paper work on this she kept saying they sent it in 2011 she said in 2011 I acknowledged the debt was mine and gave them my walmart card which was declined and bank card which was declined. I agreed to pay them 100 dollars after the money came out of my account I found it was a scam and notified my bank . They told me that the attorney would use her escrow account which I have never heard of and it was to go thru SMB Accounting. I have since talked to my attorney and was told they have to prove in writing that the bill is mine, and they only have 7 years to collect on bill.  when the mentioned jail I got scared . I have not tried to call them back I want them to call me so I can tell them what I have learned .   and besides I filed Chapter 7 and it was final in 2011.  

My husband just got a call from there.  How do they know his social security number?  We get several calla all the time.  This one was from 2009 supposedly.  We have never even heard of allied loans,  and he did not do a check cashing loan.  We didnt even have a checking accountat this time.  

I received a phone call saying there is legal action pending and that I need to call this number before he serve me papers. I called this number and talked with a lady that said that the legal action could be stopped if I pay for court cost and fees in the amount of $1,129.00. if I paid it today it would end. or I could pay every two weeks but I would need to give them my credit card or bank account and the dates the money would be available. I hung up after 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.

I just received a call from this number, exact same situation. They actually called me last year in July and wanted me to verify my address, I refused to verify any information with them and told them to send the paperwork to the address they had on file. I of course never received anything and here we are over a year later and I got the same harassing phone call. This is definitely a SCAM!!!! Do not give them any information!!

I just received same call tonight scared me to death.

I just received the same call from "Michael Perrry" who gave me a case number. I asked Michael who he worked for and he kept say the Department of Legal Services. When I said Department of Legal services for who? I said for the State, for a collection company or from a bank and he said he worked for the State. After speaking with Multiple people I found out that it was the office of attorney Julie Jones in New York. Michael Robinson was the last person I talked to. He told me that if I disputed it then there will be a process server and a sheriff to serve me with a summons. Odd thing is that Melanie who is the first lady I talked to and Naomi who was the second did not know each other. Naomi said she was a receptionist but did not know Melanie. (some receptionist)

Well I should have known better. Got a restricted call gave me a case # and a 855 # to call ...I did they had me going abt me oweing a payday loan so I gave them my cc # and we were gonna work it out of payments of 50 $ a mnth, nop 1197 taken out of my bank acct I feel so stupid and just confused on how I let myself get wrapped into this. Now that I think abt it, I don't even remember getting a payday loan in 2007.com
