    I received threatening calls at my place of employment by a man with an Indian accent. He told me that by 6:00 pm I was going to be arrested by my local Sherriff office. I told him that I didn't owe anything and that I was going to go the Sherriff's office and wait for the "supposedly" warrant for my arrest. He wanted me to pay by credit card $730 that I don't owe. They call first from 760-269-4211 a second call came in today from 973-805-1068. Again the same person. I have reported to F.T.C., Sherriff, local police and Attorney General. They told me don't give them any info, they are scammers trying to get your money.

    Great to hear you saw through their scam and reported them to the authorities.  I hope your report and the reports by others will force our federal government to take action and confront India over this avalanche of crime coming out of there.

    They used the info from your loan request.  It's starting to appear many of these online payday loan sites are phishing schemes to get the personal info they use to run their fraudulent scheme.   If you gave them banking info as well personal info they can do anything from demanding "payment" to draining your bank accounts or opening lines of credit.    Check your credit reports for fraudulent activity (new credit cards, loans etc) and if you gave account info, notify your bank for possible  unauthorized withdraw attempts.

    Lately I would say for he last month I have been receiving phone calls at my job concerning some payday loans I supposely owe. They would act like they were about to come to my job or home to serve me some documents to appear in court unless I resolve the matter by putting a credit card on file and make 3 payments of a certain amount to payoff the loan. They would act like they calling from an attorney office or law office. Then they will pose as investigator such and such. I also had one of them tell me to meet them dwnstairs at my job with my supervisor so she can sign for the papers.

    Last week I received a call from this place saying they were calling on behalf of Cashusa Now and Impact Cash. The guy acted like he as about to come to my job and serve me som papers unless I had the matter resolved by calling and talking to the lender. Well I called the number he gave me only to be calling some place that suppose to be some law office. The first guy I spoke to I was asking what did the matter concern and he verified some of my information and was telling me I owed these two loans and there were charges being brought against me for check fraud unless I can resolve it today. So I told him I would call him back with my information. So I called the two Loan places and both of them told me that they did not have a current or past loan under my information. I told both of them what was going on and Impact Cash said they know this is going on but they cant get a number to were these people are calling from. I told them I had the name and number of the people who was calling me on thir behalf and they did tell me this was a scam and not to listen to them.

    The newest thing I had happen was today. I got a call at work from a 618-200-9344 someone name Tony Abraham who had a mideastern or foreign whatever you want to call it accent. He first told me the call wasbeing recorded. I asked him what was it concerning and he said he first had to read the affidavit then he can answer my questions. So I let him read a little and he pretty much was saying some charges are being brought against me but he never said what it was for. Im asking him can you just tell me whats this about he kept saying I have to read the affidavit then I can answer your questions. So I told him you you got two min to tell me what this is concerning and soon as I said that he said "Get Ready" then hung up. I was like wha the hell does Get Ready mean. Is this MF serious.

    Anybody ever experience this

    Anyone hear about Office of Progressive or RCL Finance? I never had a loan out for a certain amount from RCL Finance and they are looking at something that happened back in 2010 - which I know did not happen.

    They called my husband at home and were looking for me with a name I  haven't used in 4 years. I told him it sounds like a scam and the person on the line threatened to subpoena me and take me to court unless he paid $1,000. My husband asked for them to send us the bill in writing and he was told the office didn't have to because he spoke to my husband on the phone.

    My husband called me at work and I told him that person violated a lot of laws and it is a scam. The number is 888-368-0343 and from a Randall Mitchell.

    U.S. authorities report they have broken up a phone scam in which callers in India posed as debt collectors to bilk millions of dollars out of more than 10,000 U.S. residents.

    Officials say callers used threats of arrest or the loss of their jobs, and that the first-of-its-kind investigation may have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg.

    The investigation revealed that from 2010 to 2012, $5 million was paid in 17,000 transactions to accounts controlled by the alleged fraudsters. The targets included people who applied for loans by punching personal details into a payday site but whose applications were rejected, Federal Trade Commission official Steven Baker said.

    Furthermore, more than 20 million calls may have been placed over the past two years, with collectors demanding between $300 and $2,000 per call.

    Received a call from 856-205-9940 which is a Wal-mart. Somehow the scammers tap into local numbers. They told me to call 1-866-464-9547 threatening legal action against me. I've dealt with these scammers before trying to threaten me with jail time. Name of person I spoke with todya was Robert Davis with an Indian accent.
