these guys are sick. and need to be stopped. they've called me and my husband several times this month. always the same spew....please do not disregard the call...as soon as you get this message call us back. etc, etc, etc. and they always end the message with god bless. when i finally did call someone back i was told that i was going to be arrested because of charges that were being filed a***nst me. they said they were going to down load this information that day. and if i didn't pay them within 24 hours i wouldhave to appear in court on monday. i said, pay you for what? a payday loan you defaulted on they said. i said you are crazy and don't i have to have this in writing or some do***entation from the original debtor before you can do what you are saying. to make a long story short, i finally told them to go ***** themselves. no debt collection agency can have you arrested for owing someone. this is a civil matter. my husband is a law enforcement officer, and he just told me to ignore them.

trying to scam money and said the are putting charges a***nst me and threating me

This man who called himself Jack Johnson called my moms cell, left message making it seem as if it was extremely important she called back. The guy, who speaks bad English wants her or her attorney to call him back. And if they didn't the only thing he can do for her is wish her good luck and May God bless her. He then called my mother at her work, and asked her if she was ready to be briefed. She said if this is a personal matter it can wait until she is not at work but would not say why he was calling. He even knew the last 4 numbers of her social security and her full name. And said he would contact her employer and garnish her wages, but wouldn't tell her why if she didnt agree to be briefed.I then called the number trying to figure out who these ppl were. The first time I (They only answered w/Hello never the name of there organization) called and said the number was on my caller ID and I wanted to know the name of the organization. He then said he couldn't brief me at this time and ***g up on me. This was the same man who left the msg on my moms ma****e. I called back a second time and a women answered, w/ an accent that sounded not of American. I said I wanted to know what agency she was w/. She said she cound't tell me unless I gave her my name. I asked repeatedly tell me who u r with. She said a Law firm. I asked to speak with her manager/supervisor. She said she was some kinda Attorney. After having to submit and give her a fake name is when she said the name of the Firm, which I forgot, and said that they specialize w/ so****ing about the legislative sumtin sumtin loan.So I decided I was going to call back and call their bluff. I said I found out who you were and I have all ready reported them and they were going down. The man who claims to be Jack Johnson begged for my name, and when I said it was "YOUR *****ED" He said repe***ively " I'll F*CK like any H*e"REPORT! REPORT! REPORT!DONT FALL FOR THERE SCAM!

I got a call from this number stating his name was Kevin Anderson, it sounded like that u can barely understand anything he was saying, he had told me he was a an Attorney that i was wanted for fraud and money laundering and that i was going to prison, and also better get an attorney and i did, but i haven't heard from them since.

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-310-598-1752This scam has been going on for well over a year, now and has been recognized as such by the BBB:Chicago, IL – August 5, 2009 – The Better Business Bureau is issuing an alert about phony debt collectors that are calling consumers nationwide and claiming that they have defaulted on a payday loan and will be arrested if they don’t pay immediately. Claiming to be lawyers, the scammers say they are with the “Financial Accountability****ociation” or the “Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans” and are equipped with a disconcerting amount of personal information about their****ential victims. “Because the scammers have so much information about****ential victims, the BBB is concerned that this may be the result of a data breach,” said Steve J. Bernas, president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. “Thousands of people may have had their personal information compromised, and given the scammers’ tactics, it appears that those who have previously used payday loan services could be particularly at risk.”According to reports received by the BBB and posted online, the scammers accuse the victim of defaulting on a payday loan and claim they are being sued. The phony debt collector threatens that, if the victim doesn’t pay as much as $1,000 immediately via wire or by providing bank account or credit card numbers, he or she will be arrested and extradited to California within the hour to stand trial. The scammers often may have the victim’s Social Security, old bank account numbers or driver’s license numbers as well as home addresses, employer information and even the names of personal friends and professional references. The BBB offers the following advice to consumers if they receive a su****ious telephone call about an outstanding debt: * Ask the debt collector to provide official do***entation in writing 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. * Review recent copies of your credit reports to ensure that the alleged debt is not affecting your credit. Consumers can do this for free once every 12 months, and can find more information here: http://www.ftc.gov/freereports * Under the Federal Trade Commission's Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse any person while attempting to collect a debt. * A debtor may be contacted between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. only and can be contacted at work unless instructed not to. * File a complaint with the FTC online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws. * File a complaint with BBB online at www.bbb.org if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you. http://www.thinkglink.com/article/2009/08/06/ ... eading-says-bbbhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-618-5897This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobbly**** phrases like "We are downloading warrants a***nst you" or "We are filing an affidavit a***nst you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with so****ing like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan****ociates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id s****ing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is****ociated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offs**** scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby &****oc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment a***nst Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:IntellisOurzE BPO701, Sapphier, Nr.

And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement, lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, or if they threatened you with arrest, be sure to include that information in your report.2) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en3) 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) The caller placed the call under a Texas area code. Even though the caller ID was probably s****ed or they're using VoIP technology to hide the fact that they're really calling from overseas, you should also file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General at http://www.oag.state.tx.us/consumer/complain.shtml 5) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org6) 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.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 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/1-925-262-1327http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-678-954-6346http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-341-4004http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-856-831-0640http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-949-743-1140http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-410-505-8128http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-917-464-2534http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-210-858-6602http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-775-2121http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-949-743-1156http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-245-1402http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-245-0922http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-723-5572http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-904-425-2863http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-904-425-2857http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-858-244-0444http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-954-678-9724http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-610-571-3252http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-310-909-8245...and, many, MANY more.

call saying i am being sued and charged for 3 allegations.... violation federal banking; check fraud;debt by deception.... my husband had this indian man tell him he wanted to have *** with me, his mother, our dog, our daughter... i am calling the police....

I received a similar call at my place of business this people called 5-6 times a day and called my home the same amount. So I called back since it's interferring with my job. The messages stated it was john samuelson (with a strong Indian accent)and call or the only thing he could say is best wishes and god bless as the situation came to me. I called and got a lady(with Indian accent) stating I owed a payday company 980.35 with all the fees for a non-payment from 11/08. this is 9/09. She said she was an attorney. I instructed the caller I could only communicate through written do***ents and she said there would only be phone conversation. She said I had to pay this money to settle out of court, or have 2 days to travel to a California sopenas court. She could not give me a name of the court just in Los Angelos, No district name or anything. She also threatened me by saying she would fax all the information to my employer and I would be fired, for not repaying my loan. I have enough financial issues at the moment, this kind of harassment and fraudelent charges need to be stopped. Thanks for listening.

this guy call me on 9/2/09 saying that i own money and the nerves that this guy got my personal information which was very upsetting. I just somebody tracks that person down and send him to jail where this person belongs

I got this call and he is saying his name is Ben Johnson an attorney from California saying that I have received a Deposit in my accountand which I have not. he is saying I have to pay 783.00 By tommorrow or a Legal team will come to my work from califonia to the east coast to serve me papers. I have Ben Johnson of me doing so but continues to call. How ****** can you be?? His caller Id say  810676161 Which is an invalid number and he is telling me to call him back at 215-279-5915. He says he is in california but the number traces back to a cell phone out of PA.. He says he is with the company Financial Account****ociation. I googled the number and it doesnt come up.

My husband and I both received phone calls from this number.  What is scary is that the person had all of our information, including my daughter's name, my bank info and ss#'s.  When I called the number back, and asked for a mailing address, fax#, website or email address, "KevinJones" would not give me any information.  He told me he was tracing my call and gave me a name of someone I did not even know.  When my husband called, they told him we made a payday loan in 12/08 for $300 and that if he was not in court in California on Monday, 9/7/09 he would go to jail for 8 months and have to pay more than $4000 for court cost and fees.  I have flagged all credit report and my bank account.  Who do I go to, to make them aware of this scam.  Anyone with information, please let me know.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Alexander today. He stated he was with the Law Offices of the FAA. He stated told me my roommate, owes some money on a pay day loan. After talking with my roommate, I called Alexander back telling him where to stick it, so he tried to tell me he was an officer of the law and now is going to be sewing me, for interfering with his law suit a***nst my roommate. This guy is a real j*** off, the FAA is Federal Aviation, Dumb A**... Don't answer this number, total scam.

I got the same call just now.  This time he said his name was Alan Smith, but its the same Indian guy

I received a phone call today, just as I walked into work.  The gentlemand stated that he was with the  Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans and I was being sued by them for fraud, money laundering and some other things.  He had a very heavy india accent and I could barely understand what he was saying.  He stated that if I had no attorney that I needed to get one because I was going to prison. Iasked him what it was in reference to and he aske me to verify my ss# that he had and had names of other relatives that I had used to get this so call on line payday loan $1027.58 was the amount that he said I owed.  He gave bank information that had my name on it.  He stated that my employer would be notified and that I would lose my job.  He said for me to wait for the supena in the mail in 2 days and here at my employer also.  The date he gave me as to when the deposite for this loan was made is what got me to thinking it was a scam.  The date he gave me was a date that did not corespond to the time frame in which I have had my account.  I beleive that this is a scam and I did report to my attorney generals office here in Texas.

This person called saying he was a lawyer in California and I was charged with check fraud a**** other charges which I knew nothing about. Kept saying that I received a deposit on a prepaid debit card which after checking I did not. They keep calling and harassing me and scaring me. The name he used is Victor Brown and gave the number 215-279-5915 as his direct line. Caller ID comes up with unknown caller.

I received a phone call that had unknown caller on caller ID, So I let it go to my answering ma****e.  After the third call today I answered the phone. He said his name was Victor Brown and wanted me or my attorney. When I asked for what, he transferred the call to his supervisor, a name I could not understand. He stated that he had downloaded the case and I had to be in court in California Thursday morning. I live in Iowa. He proceeded to read me a list of charges and it dealt with a payday loan I supposedly got last year on my prepaid debit card. When they tried to get money from the card there was insufficient funds.  He had me really upset and told me that the company had sent me 9 emails that I owed them money. I check all my emails and when I told him that, he said I had deleted them.  He was wanting $898 or it would go to court.  When I got off the phone with him, I checked on that debit card account and the only deposit that was on there was one that I put on there. And it wasn't a direct deposit.  This is a total scam.

Same here. They got my information from the internet I guess the last time I was trying to get a loan online. The guy kept saying "then how did I get your information", I told him I'm gonna do a reverse phone check up and get some information on you. He ***g up after I called him a few names. Kept insisting that I pay his company 831.00 dollars or the lien would go a***nst me. ****** freaks.

I checked the number. It is a cell phone active in Philadelphia.

I got the same call today.....and it went the exact same way...it must be a scam.

Got a call today pertaining to charges a***nst me from Alexander Davenport who could barely speak English, hard to understand.  This is a total scam and I wish this idiot would stop calling and harrassing me!!  Said he was an attorney with the Federal Regulation of unsecured debt.
