    You do it when you're foolish enough to take out a payday loan. Try reading stuff before you agree to it in the future.

    If you paid your bills like the vast majority of American society you would never be on these lists in the first place. The only person you have to blame is yourself.

    Unfortunately this is never ending, unless they apprehend the people and put in jail for 40 yrs. or more.  One boiler room is closed and another at another location is opened.  And now with Google phone numbers, the only way is to give them long jail time from the first offence.

    Forget it.  My husband and I get those by email, on cell phone all the time, late here and there. FBI is looking for you for a late payment, you name it.  If its not on the spam, send it to spam.  More than two of the same emails, you send those emails to the FBI, they have a special unit for that.   Some even tell you they are coming for you to arrest you. If its on the phone, tell them you will be waiting with your 47.  Emails just send to spam.

    They call me day and night, always different numbers and area codes.  Now they are threatening me with "Fraud" and they are going to serve me either at my home or place of business.  Well, I am waiting for them.  And, so is my local Police Department.  So, come on "Darlings, here I am!"  Hopefully, someone will be nice and post your bail!!

    Re: "I have paid them 4 times already and they still call me every year, and if I don't pay them again they call my job."

    There's your first mistake. A scammer finds a sucker like you and sees you as the gift that keeps on giving. Dumb.

    Find Your Warrant Copy:-
    Attorney: - Steve Hawkins

    Bureau of Defaulters Agency - FTC Incorporation.
    This is to inform you, that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a couple of days. Your SSN is put on hold by the US Federal Government, so before the case if filed we would like to notify you about this matter.
    It seems apparent that you have chosen to ignore all our efforts to contact you in order to resolve your debt with the Bureau of Defaulters Agency. At this point you have made your intentions clear and have left us no choice but to protect our interest in this matter. Now this means a few things for you, if you are under any state probation or payroll we need you to inform your manager/Concerned HR department about what you have done in the past and what would be the consequences once the case has been downloaded and executed in your name.

    Now, FTC is pressing charges against you regarding 3 serious allegations:

    1. Violation of federal banking regulation act 1983 (C)
    2. Collateral check fraud
    3. Theft by deception (ACC ACT 21A)

    If we do not hear from you within 24 hours of the date on this letter, we will be compelled to seek legal representation from our company Attorney. We reserve the right to commence litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a debt committed to, by use of the internet. In addition we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court cost incurred.

    WE CARRY ALL THE RIGHTS RESERVED TO INFORM TO FBI, FTC, AND HOME LANDS SECURITY YOUR EMPLOYER AND BANK ABOUT FRAUD.

    And once you are found guilty in the court house, then you have to bear the entire cost of this lawsuit which totals to $13,271.15, excluding loan amount, attorney's fee & the interest charges. You have the right to hire an attorney. If you don't have/can't afford one then the court will appoint one for you.

    Steve Hawkins
    Senior Attorney

    Keep getting calls from 207- 710- 0712 Biddeford Maine comes up on caller ID. Something about 2 fraudulent activity attached to my SSN and I will be served a summons.  Was worried at first as had these calls about 4 years ago. But they were more threatening, Filed 2 reports with the police department where I live. They then became more aggressive and I paid them as I got scared.  Not that naïve anymore researched the phone number and saw all scam as the people on the website messages were word for word.  I have filed complaints with the police department in Biddeford Maine, the FCC as well as the FTC as I am also on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. Not that the could find the A** Holes. They stopped calling for about two weeks but then today they left another message, my fiancé jokingly said something the other day your friends having called in awhile. My credit score must have went up. Just want the calls to stop as they are still upsetting even though I know its a scam. My elderly mother just becomes very upset. Anybody have any ideas how to get the calls to stop. Maybe a call blocking device, but they can be expensive.

    I was getting lots of unwanted scammer calls.  Then I remembered what a Real Live Telephone Operator told me to do, (this was 35 years ago).   Get yourself a really shrill Whistle.  Lay it by the phone, then went the harasser calls you, Blow that Whistle as hard as you can into the phone.
    It worked just like she said.  No more calls from that dude.  I hope I broke his eardrum.
    I don't think it will work on robo calls though, but if you can leave a message I guess it's worth a try.
    We must fight back and make these scumbags suffer!!!!!
