This number keeps calling me and making threats about a loan my husband supposedly took out and saying they are going to serve us with papers to appear in court.  He is saying that he has a hearing order and has gotten my statement and if we go to court that we will owe 3000.00 on a supposed payday loan that my husband took. I believe they are taking the information of prison inmates and trying to scare the spouses. This number is registered to SBC Global, which is untraceable. I keep asking for documentation of this loan to substantiate the validity. he tells me that I will see that in court. This is a scam. My husband says there is no loan he took out EVER.

Has called my entire family regarding my ex husband.  Threatening litigation and papers being served to work places and homes.  But they don't not seem to be able to back up anything and then have the nerve to tell me if I don't share my information I will be liable?!!!  Caller ID says its in Fort Worth???

This person is harassing my sister-in-law and I have no idea how they got her number.  This is ridiculous and if I find out who it is I will be contacting an attorney.

These people call from different numbers usually between noon and 3. They always leave different call back numbers as well. They have called practically my whole family with the same message about how they are going to serve papers to one of my family members. They try to scare you by telling you they have the last 4 digits of their social security number. Is there any way to report these jerks? I have blocked a few of their numbers but they always call from different ones.

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.

Shill, the real shame is you can't even read --- did anyone in this thread, other than your deadbeat self, indicate they even took out a loan?  Now, go take a long walk of a short peer and leave the humans alone

The person is calling my grandson calling another name saying stuff like the person hasnt showed up for court ?? even gives extention ?? 301

Report to attorneys General

Mr Riley sounds like a law enforcement person, but since he asked for someone by a name that does not match my phone number, he is either a moron or just another scammer.  Best advice:  Don't take this guy seriously!

Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.
The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.
The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.
The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.
Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.
Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.
Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Harassing calls about a debt owed. Did not have my last name correct. Had last 4 digits of my social. Rude.  I
Asked for verification in writing. Have not received anything. Called a family member. Said I was trying to get out of it. Will talk to my attorney.
