Fake payday loan collection scams - Please list new numbers here.

steven johnson is an american name they made up. they make up various fake american names (come on a Hindi with an american name? Get real), fake companies, etc. the numbers they call from are all spoofed and faked using online methods like Skype, Magic Jack, Google Talk, etc.  Nothing that appears on your caller id is really from them. Thats why they always leave a call back number that is DIFFERENT than the one on the id.  Do not believe these guys, do not verify or give ANY info. and if you do talk to them tell them to drop dead they arent getting a dime. that really pisses them off... lol  they are not in california, they are not even in the United States thats why the FBI, BBB, Police, FTC and others can not trace or do anything to them. They been doing this for years and getting away with it. Scumbags. Just do not give them any money!!!

paydaylonedepot.com took money from my account and never even gave me any

I am certain this is how these scammers stay in business.......... i have been getting the same calls and when they could not give me any info about who i owed i told the only way they would get any money from me was to send me information via us mail. After i told him that he was VERY rude and threating so i hung up. I am afraid that untill we get more information out about this scam this will keep happening over and over and over...... any advice on how to handle this would be great..... my local fbi office told me dont give them any money and that there is nothing they can do.

I was contacted today by a lady stating she was a server hired by global mediation firm to serve me with lawsuit documents concerning an unpaid payday loan from 2006, and that I was being charged with unpaid debt, and fraud.  I was told to contact the firm at 480-269-9571 before being served to avoid a lawsuit.  I called and spoke to a man named "Donovan" at ext. 316 who explained that I owed a debt of $725, but if I were to pay immediately, they would waive a $200 "locators fee", and that any actions against me would be immediately haulted.  I asked to confirm that if I paid, there would be no court action, or any further action in the matter, and he said there would not be.  I also asked for the original payday loan company name, and what the original debt was, and he explained that they do not get much information, and that he could only tell me it was a company called "Advanced payday loans" in Virginia.  Although I did not recall a non-payment for any previous loans, due to the fact that I remember getting a couple different payday loans during that time frame, and in an attempt to keep my credit as clean as possible, I agreed to pay the $575 immediately, which I did with my debit card.  I than asked that a paid in full receipt be emailed to me, which he said it would be; after about 3 hours, I contacted him back to advise him that I never received an email, and he put me on hold, than came back and said he spoke with his supervisor, and an email would be sent by the end of the day.  I never recieved any email receipt, and attempted to contact him again 3 times more, with no answer.  After this, I went to the internet, and noticed numerous alerts and discussion boards explaining virtually this exact same scenario, and accusing this "company" as being nothing more than a scam.  

I HAVE ALREADY PAID THESE JERKS $575, AND MY BANK TELLS ME ALL THEY CAN DO IS DISPUTE IT ON MY BEHALF, BUT ONCE THE MONEY IS RELEASED TO THE MERCHANT, IT CANNOT BE REVERSED....  CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY ASSISTANCE ON WHAT TO DO HERE?  I HAVE REPORTED TO THE BBB, AND THE FTC.  ALSO, ANY CHANCE THIS COULD BE A REAL COMPANY?????  THANK YOU!

the 707-574-8531 # has a message from keith "Rodriguez," worst espanol accent I've ever heard.

If you look up the number it comes up as:
PIA-K Enterprises, LLC
P.O. Box 845
Buckingham, PA 18912
877-834-2813

These people called my job asking for a Manager so they could see about how to start the process for wage garnishment. they told me they were a 3rd party debt collector for Ace Cash and that I owed $429.20. they told me I could stop this from happening if I made "payment arrangements."  They took my money. Of course the number is no longer in service If anyone else has had this problem please let me know.

CONTINENTAL 877-8342813 NC

I did the repeat call thing with one company at least 5 times before they told me to NOT call them back or else they would file harassment charges on me and I would need a good lawyer.  I laughed at them because I work for one of the top 10 defense attorneys in my state, told them, and told them that I did not think fee would be an issue. I then asked if I was not allowed to call back how was I supposed to repay all this money that I owed. They hung up on me.  Way to go for your hubby to harass them like that, think that might be my few favorite past time too.

We have had lots of calls from several "attorneys" which are Pakistani or India native calling from a call center with names like Attorney Bruce Richards and so forth.  I have reported them to the FBI, and the MN state police because they have a reporting page where you can send your saved voicemails and telephone numbers to.  We do not owe any money to any payday type loan company.  I posed as my husband and tried to get the information the first few times they called.  I said I did not take out any loans, and they claimed I did.  I said then if I am going to court (as their messages say "see you in court"), then why have you not sent me anything in writing.  I dont know what the law is in the country you are in because you are not the person you are claiming to be, so I know this is a scam, but if you have something on me, send it to me in writing, because my country and state requires written notice served upon my person either the sherriffs office or registered mail.  If you do not do this, then stop calling, I have informed my state police and the FBI, they know who you are- and if you call here again I will take legal action on you.
The problem is, they use a random number generator, so the numbers they call from are generally only in service for a limited time, making it hard for law enforcement to track, and they keep calling from other numbers, I currently have 5 saved voicemails from these idiots.  They are hard to trace, track down and nail.  I just hope that no one is gullible enough to actually deal with these people in fear that they could do something.  
One guy told me he sent me written notice in an e-mail that is meant only for junk mail, and another email that was hacked into and abandoned just prior to the calls starting

Does anyone have any info about 1-866-448-8175. Said they were a Consolidation Mediator Firm in CA. Would not give me an address or website. Said I owed a payday loan from 2007. I spoke to a "GM" named Gary Jones. Any one hear of this agency?

Here is another one  347-380-8980

Be aware of the number 401-229-6393 also, they are running a scam out of Rhode Island. I advise everyone to stop giving out your information online, when filling out forms without doing research on a company first that request your inf. God bless you guys. Amy

Here's another number, 7075748531, I called the guy like a hundred times lol pissed him off. He tried calling and passing himself off as an emergency number saying there was a complaint on my number of harassing calls , isn't that the pot calling the kettle black! Lmao!! His indian accent gave him away, I just kept telling him, what? Speak english I don't understand you're he got even more pissed and said he was gonna call my work like I was calling him. I told him go ahead they all know about it and will just put him on speaker phone to laugh. He's stopped answering my calls hmmm wonder why.
