I have been getting calls from "Lisa" and "Madison" (perfectly innocuous sounding American names, yes?) that show up on caller ID as originating from an 877 number, but the call back number they leave is (720) 636-8249 or a minor variation thereof.  The area code seems to be  Colorado; however, I have read that scammers can easily disguise their true locations and area codes through voice-over-internet apps & set up generic voicemail boxes to receive return calls.  Colorado is a favorite, as is any state with a relatively sparse population compared to its size, because it's unlikely you'll be familiar with the tiny town they claim to be from. Most likely, if you fall for it & are willing to pay whatever bogus fee they propose, it will involve an electronic banking transaction directly from your account.  

They never identify their company, and they never ask for anyone in my household by name.   Messages left  go something like, "Your name has come up in connection with fraud," and "we need you to send us documentation."  I've gotten four or so in the past several months.

Rest assured, if some legitimate company (a bank or a credit bureau)  (or scarier yet) the IRS really wanted to investigate/prosecute you for fraud, they would not hesitate to identify themselves.

These callers are not legitimate, just random opportunists. Who knows how they get peoples' phone numbers, but legitimate companies, and certainly US government agencies, DO NOT USE THESE TACTICS.  

These fraudsters count on the fact that a certain percentage of people who receive these calls will react with alarm and do anything to clear their names.  It's hard to ignore them, especially when they persist in calling, but if you DO answer, you confirm that your phone number is "live" and will only prolong the misery as they sell it to other fraudsters, years down the road. Moral of the story:  however hard it may be to do so, IGNORE THEM.

I've been getting calls from this guy Paul Harris and he's using my maiden name which I haven't used in 6 yrs telling me that there are civil complaints against my name and social security.... I'm clear and have not check cashing issues and I don't know where this guy is coming from.... This is a scam........

THIS IS A SCAM PEOPLE...don't let these a$$holes scare or intimidate you!!!!!!!!! they do not or cannot charge you with anything, police and district attorneys do not debt collectors!!! This is one of the biggest scams out right now, anyone who has taken out payday loans and have them even paid back all our info has been stolen and fake debt collectors try to collect a debt that does not exist anymore so DO NOT GIVE IN, DO NOT GIVE ANY MONEY!! In the past 2 weeks there are 2 separate companies trying to scam me. I am beyond sick of this why can't the authorities find these people???

Watch out for this company: Jacobson and Wright AND Ridgeway Advisory Group (this is another company trying to scam people the same way Jacobson and Wright is) BEWARE!!!

If your son is over 18 then he's committed fraud against you by using your name.  They cannot prosecute you for a debt you did not incur.  If you did not sign any documentation they do not have the legal right to contact you for your sons debt.

If your son was under 18 there is no legally binding contract.  They are trying to scare you for money.  Do not offer them any money it is a scam.  Look up the statues in you state and city regarding debt collection.  Tell them to contact you via email with all the documentation that identifies your son as signer on the document.  If they cannot produce documentation they cannot proceed.  If they try to affect your credit this is grounds for appealing the information.  There must be documentation by the creditor of you debt.  Again if you didn't sign any documentation for your son you will have the opportunity to dispute any information added to your credit report.

Do not verify your address or any other information they are collecting information about you for more fraud activity.

I hope this helps

Here is another phone number: 844-800-7139. Eric Murphy left a voicemail.

Hello all, I just started getting calls from the J/W firm...from a 1-844-259-5384 number,  Patrick ext. 110, and like you said..he was very polite..but when he told me about a PDL I owed, my suspension grew because I was hit with identity theft in 2012, in which he said this is when this PDL was suppose to have been taken out, I was getting harassing calls from several New York  numbers...they had every single bit of my info...they were even calling my job...in which I ended up losing due to the excessive calls...nevertheless, I ended up getting a lawyer to handle the situation...and it was taken care of till now....although this Patrick was polite, I told him to be patient and I will investigate the matter.....to the lady that said they called because her sin took out a loan, don't fall to the scam...investigate first!

As a victim of identity theft, then, you already know that you are not liable for loans, or other credit, taken out in your name by the thief.  

No one should pay any caller who refuses to MAIL - do not accept email/fax/phone/text - proof of debt/proof your caller has the legal right to collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this information within five days of their initial contact is a violation of federal law.  More info here:

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.

Company calling stating the are filing court docs on a bad check from a loan company ! Here is the number they left 1 (844) 800-7139

looks like you spent half of your day writing this... the easiest thing to do is just PAY YOUR DEBT instead of going online complaining

Jacobson and Wright uses illegal debt collection practices. Follow the links and prompts in the FTC website to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to file a complaint. I've spoken with attorneys, police, and the BBB. This is not a reputable company to do business with...protect yourself and file a complaint or hire an attorney!
