My mom got a call from a guy refering to himself as Ron Robinson. He told my mom there was some kind of alligain of fraud and gave her a supposed "case #". This is from a collector. He had my mom's name wrong and tried to convince her was ligit by giving her old info about herself. He has purchased a debt that was discharged in my bankrupcy. I belive when I've done other traces for him that he may be working out of India.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

I recieved a call on Dec 14 2012 that I had taken out a payday loan in Jan of 2009 he gave imformation that he had that I did not even know like my nieces married name and her home phone number she had only been married to her husband for a year she did not even know him in 2009 now I have a Ms. Stone calling me and threatning me with a lawyer and felony charges but she will not fax any imformation to me and when I asked her to fax her company imfo to me she  became very beligerent toward me I finally just hung up on her. I am on a very fixed income and I cannot pay someone over $1800 for a supposed loan of $120 that sounds crazy. what do I do?

They are required by law under the fair debt collections act to provide all of the information that you request in order to validate the alleged debt.  If they do not provide this information or refuse to,  or threaten you with arrest and such,   they are indeed Scammers.  I wouldn't lose one minute of sleep over this.  With todays access to the internet,  an abundance of personal and family information is available.  Dropping names and such is no big trick.  No one can tell you exactly what you should do. However,  anyone calling and threatenting,  not providing validation,  and trying to collect $1800 on a NOT Confirmed and not validated loan of
$120 is a scam if I've ever seen one...

i received a call from a person named natalie threating me&my family i tried to call her back very nasty &rude i do not give out personal info they are rude if you get a call from them ignore it

i received a call from this number today very rude Ms. Smith, looking for my mother it scared the hell out of me she was stating that my mother had allegations of fraud and there was a case at the county clerk thanks  for all this info, i wont even bother calling back

I had a messaged today from a Ms. Smith.  The number in the message was 1-855-504-4116.  Said that there were alleagtaions of fraud against my name driver license....  She called my mom and said I had to call them by 3pm.  She then left a message on my voice mail.  threating me that it is to late and to contact her about a case number.  My brother has received calls also.  He said it sounded fishy and that was a month ago.  It has unnerved me a lot.  Oh the company name is intrensic firm.  Any one get same company.  I have 7 kids to support and don't need this stress in my life.  Any help please.

Don't stress. This company is called intrinsic they buy old debts and use scare tactics like fraud, u.s. Marshall, court. Too get to you. I dealt with Ms. Smith also she had all my siblings names bit my info was outdated.  Always go to spokeo do 800 numbers!

I received the same call from the same person omg!!! these people are crazy and there is no way am paying 1400 on a 300 loan not going to happen.

I got the same call yesterday. She wanted me to fax it then I did cause I had paid it but then she never wanted to send me a confirmation she was saying oh your taken care of. I reported these people to ftc and my local police.
They had all my information when she called s.s addresses etc even my drivers lic number.
Don't give any info unless they give you info.

This woman named Ms. Smith keeps calling my sister and saying she is pressing fraud charges against me, she is a scam and has my sister worried to death, I assured my sister and need her to stop bothering her...who do I contact?

Do not give any information to Smtih Cora from Intrinsic, they are a fraud

Recieved several calls from Intrinsic Financial claiming to be a debt collection company starting in february telling me I owed $700.00 from a payday loan company in MI from 2008. I filed bankruptcy in 2011 and included the loan company in the bankruptcy A "John Anthony" fron  intrinsic said I still owed thw debt ,that it was not part of the bankruptcy, told him to contact my lawyer. "John" gives me a number to call back at the 734 794 3078 does not accept incoming calls "John" gives antoll free number 855 504 4116. The debt was discharged in the Bankruptcy, Intrinsic Financial demanding money from with legal threats I got the paperwork to prove the debt was discharged in bankruptcy. They are nothing but a SCAM If anyone else has anyinfo re Intrinsic Financial I love to hear it

Cora Smith called me for a debt that I was presently working with someone else to payoff and she also called my parents home too with the the information of an alleged summons, they had family member names that was never listed on the original debt as contacts.

These people have called me as well about a payday loan i took out in 2009. I became very sick since that time and i had good attentions on paying back the loan and i have kept that promise in paying these people. I have been paying faithfully even month.The amount i borrowed in 2009 was a little over $700.00 dollars but when i received their letter way back in Nov.2012 the amount was 3 times the amount.I have been doing all i can to take care of this debt but due to paying these people. I now can not afford to pay 3 of my bills monthly...like all of you Natale has also threated me with filing papers at my local county courts office about fraud concerning the payday loan. I must say i have always felt funny about the company and paying them. Now, I see i was right!! from reading all of your comments that blows me away. I did not know these people we're frauds!! I asked Natale to send me out a copy of the dates and the amounts i owed and she said some other dept.was sending that out in 7 days but i have not seen anything as of yet.So, I called her back asking her why i haven't received my copy of the dates and the amounts she seemed puzzled and asked who i was so i told her my name and she said' ,Oh i requested them they should be on the way. I have not seen anything in 2months.  I have paid over $600 so far to these people.If anyone can answer these questions please reply back to this site. I didn't know these people we're frauds until i read all of your comments today. I really feel taken and i am sick to my stomach!!. My question is.. Do, I still owe this loan? and if, so to who do i owe it to? My other question is can a person be locked up for a payday loan? Thank you for your reply in advance.

I thought this was a scam too until my paycheck was GARNISHED last Friday by this company. I tried contacting them and they said that the only way they will stop the garnishment is if I pay the account off. I don't think they are a fraud, I think they use overly aggressive collection methods, but if they are able to find you then they will certainly garnish you. I'm being garnished $363.00 every two weeks until I pay off $3,000.00. They added court and legal fees to my balance. These people are very rude and don't care, but it is a real company.

Please!!! I really need someone's help. I've been ignoring these folks from intrinsic and they just keep calling. I finally got a notice in the mail from my sheriff's dept. It was a complaint and summons. I've done what everyone said, I ask for dates and validation, and they confirmed it. The only problem is I know I actually owe the bill. I took out a loan back in 2008 from quickcash, for only 300 and they've added on interest since then. I can't afford an attorney, or the legal fees they say will be tacked on. Someone please give me some advice. Do I show up in ct. or just keep ignoring these people?

If you have an actual summons you need to respond and appear in court on the date and time in the summons.  Failure to appear will result in an automatic judgement against you at which time they can get a court order to garnish up to 25% of your wages until the debt is paid.  Unfortunately your best chance to try and work out something you could afford was after the company provided the actual proof about the debt and their right to collect.  All you can do now is hope for a kindly judge who will help arrange payments you can make.  You may also be eligible for a Public Defender but that depends on the laws in your state and county.

Something is missing here.  In order to garnish your wages there had to have first been a court judgement against you for the amount of the debt and you should have been served with a summons for the initial court appearance. Then after a judgement against you was reached there would have been a court order for the garnishment which you should have also received.  Unless you moved after the loan and they did not have your current address, you should have received those papers by certified mail or in person from a process server.
