(206) 204-4835

Received a call from 510-227-1809 at my job from Gary Jones (Arabaic accent) stating he was calling from State Investigative Service in reference to having three criminal charges a***nst me from a payday loan and I had to pay it today.  He stated that the loan was taken out in May or June 2010.  He asked for my banking info and cell number. He told me that I had to make the payment today through Western Union and fax him the information, but he also stated that I can go to Walmart to purchase a Green Dot Visa Debit card. He was contradicting himself.  This is not the first time t his has happened to me.  What can I do?

i got a similar call from an arabic man about a pay day loan from the number 510 227 1809 he told me he could give no dates or details but wanted me to make an offer to settle out of court he also said he was from bci

hey what did you do after this i am having the same exact thing happen to me right now! same info same loan business and same guy. should i call the cops to get this guy to stop because i dont know what to do

these people have been doing the same thing to my husband and me. The guy clams to be michael joans and he has a very heavy accent. He is extreamly rude. Will be going tonight to the police station to report this because they know our ss# address phone number , ect. Any1 have any suggestions on what else we can do?

They called me 10 times in a row on my cell phone yes****ay and didn't leave a message until yes****ay evening.I was told by the company they stole the information from not to respond and ignore the calls and that is what I have been doing.I was suppose to arrested yes****ay and no one showed up.  this is a scam and trying to get you to pay money you don't owe.

Someone called me and left a message in a heavy accent claiming to be Officer Neal Stevens of the BCI. He said that somebody I knew was involved in a fraud and had used my name as a reference (I've never ever given him my consent to anything). I just so happen to know this person. He left this number and extension(2062044835 ext 207) and urged me to call back immediately. When I called back, all I got was some message in a foreign language. Things s****ed to get a little su****ious and then I s****ed putting the pieces together. I believe the person I knew was scammed into so****ing (not sure what kind of Nigerian scam) and ended up giving my name and number to scammers. I'm so ****ed.

I received several calls and a text message from someone claiming to be Officer Neal Stephens (or could be Neil Stevens) with the BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigations). He asked for me, and I told him that I wasn't available, but would take a message. At this point, he proceeded to give me his name, the above-mentioned company, and a telephone number (206-204-4835 ext 207). That's where he should have stopped considering I was only taking a message. However, he went further by saying that it was important that I contacted him back b/c of criminal allegations being filed a***nst my Social Security number. This person has a heavy accent that was difficult to understand, and I had him repeat this message several times just to make sure it was correct. At the time he called my cell & another number, I also received a text message that only said to "call 2062044835." I guess they think that I don't know so****ing about the collection laws and that I can be bullied. I will be filing a report with the appropriate authorities for their abusive collection practices.

REc'd 4 calls back to back on my cell phone - Even had the nerve to call my office. I talked to a "Mr. Neal Stevens" Claims there's a case a***nst me & that if I don't talk to him it will be downloaded tonight. Informed him that I didn't believe him & ***g up. He then called back & said that if I don't call him within 30 minutes that he will call my mgr & tell them what i did. GO RIGHT AHEAD & let's see what happens to him then.

I have recieved several calls from this number saying that I owe money for united cash loans and that if i dont give them a call back to settle this dispute they are filing papers and i will have to appear at court and have to spend up to 10,000 dollars for court costs. Also they have threatened me of imprisonment. This needs to be taken care of cause they really try everything they can to scare you into giving them what you supposedly owe.

He told me my account number and said it was deposited in 2010.he couldn't give me a phone # or what date the transaction was done. He gave me my email and I was like I have not gotten a loan from no ez cash.usa-he talked about an affidavit num and that they had to download the information. If u r and officer why would u download it.

From Lamet's post: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.w***o.gov5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=enIf 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 a***n -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-771-9249   Scammer posting here as GARY and GARRY JONEShttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-866-860-4509   Scammer posting here as Mike Hendersonhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-212-500-0839   Scammer posting here as Rickyhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-201-244-7722   Scammer posting as Carole, David Brown and Amandahttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-626-200-4646   Scammer false postings at this new number as silshan kanniue and Tina – preparing a new number to use.http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-424-354-4270   Scammer false postings as Rosehttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-785-4479   Scammer posting as Roberthttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-909-327-4870   Scammer false postings as Marryhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-646-274-1143   Scammer false postings as Karen Miller, Chichi and Tom Littlehttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-561-300-8018   Scammer false postings as Marco Polo (real original)http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-877-226-7488   Scammer false postings as SAM, David Shttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-706-7463   Scammer false postings as Georgehttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-209-349-7382   Scammer false postings as Towanda Robinson, Shannon Walsh, Jack Dawson and Cynthiahttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-760-514-0132   scammer false postings as Suzy01, Johanna Hall, Cindie McMellon, Michael Dublin, Mark Williams, Carol and Rio   (800notes removed some of the scammers posts because the all came from the SAME IP ADDRESS)http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-209-797-2212   scammer false posting as Jaison Connarhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-707-401-4056   Scammer false posting as John Carner, KSRhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-650-241-4604   Scammer false postings as jhon and Kevinhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-708-401-0535   Scammer false posting here as JHONhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-518-212-0219  Scammer false posting************************************************************************************************************************Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scamJanuary 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are “s****ed” numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer’s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer’s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer’s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fic***ious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fic***ious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as “We’re filing an affidavit a***nst you” or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed a***nst the consumer.A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General’s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee’s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was a***n contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an “officer”. “I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ‘If that’s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming’,” stated the employee.“It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,” Attorney General Six said. “If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.”Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer’s arrest, or using the threat of violence.More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.

I keep get calls from the same people but they are calling for a friend of mine who may have got a loan but they are trying to say that because he used me as a reference that they are coming after me now. Is there anyway we can get the police after them, it's a crime to act like a police officer. He's called Officer Alan Clark BCI beaura of crime identification. Sorry can't spell, this is rediclous that they can call so much. 2062044835 ext 212 or 201, he has the guts to tell me god bless you at the end of the message.

This is a scam, called FBI on this and they confirmed it................................SAID HE WAS FROM BCI/ OFFICER DAVID ***T..............amazing how people like this make these calls, and never show up or state what the charges are, But yet make ignorant statements and threats, and 2ndly, why would a law enforcement agency call you to tell you there are charges a***nst you, when it comes from an attorneys office or a clerk of the court?????????

I just got one yes****ay afternnon at work from a david ***t, said  he had 5 criminal charges on me, i called the FBI, said it was a scam, and also where i work at on the railroad I told the police and said if he calls a***n tell them to come on over and will be glad to meet him at the entrance with handcuffs.................

These people are calling me now threatning the same day. What did you end up doing and what was the outcome? Did you catch up with the crooks?

I received a call from these same people from this same number. They said they had an affidavit and had four criminal counts a***nst me and that I would be arrested and or sued. I reported them to the local police and to the Washington State Attorney General office. Who are these people and can someone stop them?

I am having a similar situation with this same guy. What end of happening with you or him?

I got the same call from 206-204-4385  stating that  they were officers of CBI   its a scam  threatening to have my husband arrested within 3 hrs!! I called they rogers pd and they called them!!!  What a scam!!

I work at a Law Firm and one of our clients called and was very upset because "Officer" Allen Clark said he was going to have her arrested if she did not make a payment. I called this person myself and he is NOT a police officer, but uses this term to try to scare people THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION AND **** UP THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY!

Someone called from this # stating he was coming to my job to arrest me and take me out in handcuffsand transport me to Washington. Name that was left was toa sk for  Officer Allan Clark ext. 4884

Someone from this number called left a message, was speaking in a foreign language, I do not know wha they were saying. Then a message was left by my employer where I work on the weekends saying that someone called from this number regarding the investigation of a crime "from Sylvia's office"? They left a number  206-204-4835  ext 5666. When I called there was no answer. Since I have never been in the state of Washingiton I'm wondering who is calling from this number ahd how did they get all of my number home, work and cell. I did some information on the internet for a loan, is that how this person got all of my information?
