another harrassing threatening phone call on a debt that I am not aware of.  These calls come from various phone numbers with the same scripted threatening message.  These calls in the past have requested thatI provide payment over the phone, I refused. When I asked for written documentation, I was told it could not be provided.

I got a call from this number, but it comes thru unknowen number then they leave they're number tellin me its a criminal matter and if I don't call them back they will see me in court, Im sure its just a bill collector cause everone who calls sound forgien...

Got a call from this number they a false name and told me they were going to charge me with three felony charge including bank fraud and theft by taken. Everyone was Middle Eastern and they would not send me anything in writting. They had my social and date of birth with my current address. I call the attorney generals office and the federal trade commission and also file a police report and put a fraud alrent on all my credit reports. These people are trying scare you into a scam. Do not fall for it. If you tell them you have call all of these places they will not call you back every again.

got a call from very rude man named Bruce Bayne (sounded foreign) claiming he is from state leglistagive department and wanted to speak to an employee.  He kept calling all lines and was very hateful to several people he spoke with.  When we called the number back we have a hard time getting anyone on the phone and when the employee got thru it was a bill collector. I did a google search for his name and leglistative office and I found out that it was a scam. When I googled the phone number he gave us I got this website.  Beware of this man, as he is very persistant and very rude.  Only way we could get him to stop calling was to threaten to call local authorities.

Hello Everyone,

This is Mike,We understand your concern where you are coming from.give us your number and your mailing address with your file number so that we can send you each & every documentation which you are looking for.

 Getting call plenty of times in couple of minutes,Yes why? Because its very panicky if a person is taking a loan & not paying back moreover blaming the loan company cant even resist, if you guys are so sure that you haven't taken any loan,why you all are afraid to deal this in Legal way.

With Regards,

Mike

Allah KNOWS you make this same post over and over again, and Allah is not happy about it.

got a call fr a Kate Plamer saying fr legal det. of unsecune lawn never heard of this. left # 866-860-4509. Do not have time for this crap. Do not say what frim from if any. Just a scam and don't have time with these peolpe.

I keep getting calls at work, says his name is Dennis Stein but he barely
speaks english. He has told me the call is a legal call and if I do not call him back, they will proceed with legal action because I have committed theft.  I told him I was not allowed to get calls at work and he replied that he has every right to call the number because I put it on an application as a family contact. I even gave him my home phone number and have not gotten one messege from him on my machine, but get them all the time on my voicemail at work.

The people at this number called my boss, my son and my sister and told them that I owed them money and the were the legal representstives for Fast Cash. I asked for the Fast Cash phone number which they gave as 321-221-0026. When I called that number it sounded like the same people from the 866 number.

Some foreign guy named Hector called claiming I have 3 legal counts against me for some fast cash loan. He says he is from the legal office. This is a typical scam, trying to scare some unsuspecting soul into sending money. I told him to go ahead and file his lawsuit, I would see him in court.

I got a call from this number and also my Mother-n-law saying I owed them money from 2007 and I don't remember getting a loan from these people. When I asked them to provide me with information they gave me a number of 321-221-0026 and a fax number of 877-348-5184 to fax a letter saying I would agree to pay a certain amount to get the debt cleared. Also said that I would be charged with a criminal charge and I need to get a criminal lawyer to clear it up if I did not pay the amount.

What did you do and have you ever received any documentation?

there is no documentation to send - its a scam.

NO ARRESTS - NO LAWSUITS -

ITS ILLEGAL FOR A DEBT COLLECTOR TO THREATEN ARREST!  

NO COLLECTION AGENCY CAN REFUSE TO SEND IT IN WRITING - IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW THAT THEY SEND THE LETTER WITHIN 5 DAYS OF FIRST CONTACT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT DISPUTE THE DEBT - THEY ARE DENYING YOU THAT RIGHT!

NO collection agency can just call and demand you pay without first PROVING that you owe the debt - THESE ARE CROOKS - NOT DEBT COLLECTORS

READ THE INFO I HAVE POSTED

Received phone calls ALL MORNING on ALL PHONE LINES!!!! The employee they want to talk to is not in and has no clue who they are...
they are nasty, rude and WON'T QUIT!!!

I am an attorney in Lancaster PA and have had several clients tell me the same stories that I am reading on this site.  Threatening criminal action, advising you to get a criminal lawyer, even threatening civil legal action when they don't have the present intent to carry through, is all illegal conduct.

I am trying to get an address of this company or the ID of who they are collecting for.  Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  My E-Mail address is AMBURKE7@Yahoo.com.

Want to get rid of them? Ask them for their address or, refer them to me.

Michael D. Hess, Esq.

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “spoofed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit against you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”.

“I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.

“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.
