this is what fbi told me to do~!

I have been getting this call now for the last couple of months.  They seem to dis appear for a couple of days and then again they pop up. They have used numerous different names but all have the same accent.  Just yesterday they called my employer 42 times.  Today Mr Morgan told me I will be behind bars by tomorrow, fired from my job with in a week and that my bank account is being turned for the state for a state invesagation.  These people are just crazy.....

Would be nice if there is a way to make them stop!!!!

916-22-4115 keeps calling me at work and now on my cell phone. States I have an unpaid pay day loan. Will not give me any details in writing.  Says that I have to go thru them to pay them. Identify themselves as Mike Johnson, John Davis.

They called me (Mike Johnson is who talked to me) at work said I had 3 counts of fraud against me and told me that $300 was deposited in my account and 6 times a company tried to collect on it.  They had my ss#, bank account number, address, phone numbers, etc.. I kept them on the phone while I checked my bank account and I told them there was no such problem.  They told me to go to my bank and call them back b/c maybe someone was hacking into my bank account and I should call them right back b/c this was going to court and the legal fees would be over $15,000. I am not calling them back, this seems like fraud that they are committing...I am concerned that they have that much personal information though!

I have been hounded by 8 calls just today alone.  They are form 2 different numbers....916-226-4115 and 408-837-0495.  The same message is being left about me immediately calling them back and to have my attorney call them blah, blah, blah.  I called them up on everything and told them they are on the Nigerian scam website and they hung up after calling me a f***ing b**ch that wasn't worht $5.  I decided to call back and harass them for awhile.  I was calling on a land line phone and *67 my number.  (They were leaving messages on my cell phone) When they did answer I F bombed them back and had a little fun and irritated them some.  I checked my voicemails about 10 minutes later and there was a message on there which stated that "this f***ing message is intended for (said my name) and then F bombed about every other word.  I was called a street [***], a mother F-er, told how big of a coc* he had and about all I can do is go stand on the street corner and remove my panties and get F-ed for $5 on the streets. he also told me to come there and he would treat me good.......and so forth.  While these calls were going on someone else was on the phone with the FBI and when I told them that they hung up on me.  I called back and gave them the phone number to my state's FBI and I would have went on and on but was instructed by the FBI to end the call so I had to.  I received 2 more calls since then from another number.  I plan on calling tomorrow again and having some more fun with them...........I did get a new phone number by the advise of the FBI Agent.  If you get these calls, have some fun and irritate the hell out of them....They will quit calling.

Yes I have been threaten by the same guys also....Simon Morgan and Eric Watson Somethng Steve pretending to be collectors and private investigators and threaten me and my company that I work for......I cant keep havin this calling constantly and verbal abuse they are giving something needs to be done ???? What is there to do ?? Can someone please tell me ?

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):
1.    The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2.    Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.
3.    File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4.    File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.wvago.gov
5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden • Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
•    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
•    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
•    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
•    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

I am a police officer and this company is a scam.  I contacted the FBI Office in Newark, NJ and they have received numerous complaints.  Do not send them any money.  They got your information off the computer and its a scam.  They threaten to contact your job, I called them back 6 times to see if they contact my job yet and they didn't because they can't.  Do not give these people any money its completely fradulent.

They call my job all the time. I'm going to lose my job .

Show this thread to your employer - These people are CROOKS and they make a point of calling you at work.  There is NOTHING you can do to stop it- but once your employer understands that this is nothing but a scam and crooks stealing  - they cannot hold you responsible for the calls.

It states clearly in all the press releases that these crooks call work - so its important that you give this info ASAP.

i have been getting calls from these people and even at my job, saying they will gut till i bleed called my daughter a f=== [***]. said he was going to cram is big d--- down our throats and send someone to our hose to kill us. i have this all recorded yet there is nothing i can do. been to the state police and they have found out nothing.  simom was the one that called with all the treats and steve clark is a different person. but my guess is there one in the same.  says they will have me arrest and fired from my job for fraud. i never heard of this before.   WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE.

the person calling me was also a paul smith - saying he is going to get me on 3 counts and also have me fired -scary thing is they know all your information - the secret service is trying to catch them, they keep calling my work.

yes that is exactly what they said to me as well and i have never had a loan from cash advance it is very scary

they have been calling us for 2 weeks threating us. telling my wife to f*** herself and also told me to suck his d***. so when he called back i blew a whistle in to the phone. we have contacted our local police dept. and they told us to contact the fbi or state attorneys offices. he threaten to contact her employeer and also has our checking account numbers. everytime we call he uses a different name. jeff davis or steve.

OMG - they just called me today with some very outlandish threats and charges.  They have called me before and I filed a report with my local police department and well as the FTC.  Any other suggestions besides changing my number?

Same story as you guys... I keep getting calls from a blocked number. Mike Johnson says to call him back at this number.  What's funny is that the message sounds exactly the same as it did before.  Possible recorded.  

What I find interesting is that usually when a collection agency calls they state their company name.  They will also have something or someone who says... "This call is being recorded..."  This doesn't happen in this case.  Very interesting!

I know it's embarrassing, but I have had real collection agencies call me before in my past.

Here is the true check... I looked up my Credit Report and followed the company name that everyone on this site says they give (American Legal Services).  American Legal Services is not listed anywhere on my credit report as to having any of my accounts.  

Please don't get scammed!! Check your credit report so that you know.

OMG WTF!!!!  I keep getting phone calls from these people saying I owe on a payday loan but they will not give me the original debtor's company name saying they can't..I've already gave them $150 becvause they said I need to be in court by a certain day and  I would have to pay $5000. SOB they SCAMMED me but NO MORE...I've spoken to an Edward Scott and he told me his supervisor's name was Stacy Wilson, he had a heavy mideastern or english accent could'nt really understand him, I've also gotten calls from a female refusing to give me her name. They told me they worked for some Consolidation Services company. Every time they call they use a different phone number and I've googled them and they are all cell phone numbers here is some of them 916-616-2739; 916-226-4115;626-264-8239;612-520-5590(fax). These people need to be stopped!!!!

at first i could not under stand them because of there accent, when the started telling me that i got a payday loan, i told them that i never got the loan, and that they denied me , the company even sent me an e-mail stating that i was denied. i asked these goof ball if they where a collection agency and the said no we are not, they gave me my account number, i said so. they called and harrsed my son and my exwife, telling them that they both needed to get attorneys because they where both gonna get sued,  i called the police and made a report. havent hurd from them since

OMG.....I'm glad to find out that this is all a bunch of BS. I got a call twice today from these people, but not for me they were looking for a friend and they said my friend was being sued and that because they had used my name & phone number as a refernce, I too was respomsible. I didn't give them any information and said I would pass along the message but he said he would be calling me back tomorrow. Now I know exactly what to tell those stupid SOBs. Ugh! this really angers me!!!! The person who called me also had an accent that made it difficult to understand him and he said his name was Paul Smith, and that he was calling from American Legal Services. I too, like another person on here commented, asked if he was calling on behalf of a collection agency and he said "Oh, no miss, we are lawyers!"   I hope the authorities are able to find these people soon.

I received a call from this number 916-226-4115, I googled it again and it comes back to a wirless phone. I called the number back and told them not to be calling me anymore because I knew they were a SCAM. the guy who had a heavy mid-eastern accent gave me his name as John Davis, but left a message with the name Paul Smith. I told him not to call me anymore and that i reported him to the authorites, and his reply was that I was gouing to be [***] and so were the people who I put down as references. He kept cursing at me saying I was going to be [***] and he would keep calling me over and over!!!! These people need to be stopped..SERIOUSLY!!!!! THEY ARE A NUISANCE!!!!!
