They are still at ,it will njeve end

For at least the last four years, possibly longer, a group has been calling former payday loan applicants advising them that they have defrauded a bank and are now being sued for non-payment of a loan.  The callers will claim to be calling on behalf of an attorney's office (name varies), the Dept. of Law and Investigation, ACS, or other similar combinations below:United Legal Processing DivisionMidline MarketingCrime Monitoring ServicesMonetary Crime DivisionU.S. National Bank Attorney General’s Office (usually in California)American Legal ServicesAffidavit Consolidation Services (ACS)You will be threatened with arrest, a costly trial and possibly worse.  In no shape, way or form can you be arrested for non-payment on a consumer debt.  Do not believe these threats, as they are without merit and cannot be carried out in the manner they allege.  Who are they? In the past when pressed by law enforcement for an address, the callers have provided the following information:David Morgan and****ociatesMorgan &****ociatesMorgan****ociates954-727-8481 1155 Northwest 85th Street Wintergarden, Florida  33150 (Address is likely invalid)The collector's MO matches a once legit collections agency called Ellis Crosby &****ociates.  Here are some links on them:http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/ellis_crosby_and_associates.htmhttp://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/EllisCrosbyJudgment.pdfThey have been previously fined over $1.3 million for various violations.  They have been known to use phone banks in India to make their calls, which more or less coincides with the difficult to understand accent many of us detect when we are contacted.   The last time this group went by any "official" name was back in 2008:Ellis Crosby &****ociates / Douglas & Morgan****ociates4494 Southside Boulevard Suite #200Jacksonville Florida 32216Phone:  800-928-3536 / (904) 928-3536(Address is likely invalid)There are NUMEROUS consumer alerts out a***nst this group of individuals:Florida:http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/061107/met_176207561.shtmlKansas:  http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.htmlColorado:  http://www.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/press/ ... lls_likely_origRhode Island:  http://www.collectionscreditrisk.com/news/rho ... -3002135-1.htmlWest ******ia:http://www.w***o.gov/internetloanscam.cfmMissouri:On July 15th, 2010 a Public Awareness Bulletin was sent out by Missouri Information ****ysis Center.  "..received reports from individuals in Ohio and Illinois reference su****ious telephone calls they received. In both instances, the callers are reporting that a voicemail is received from a man, with a Middle Eastern accent, identifying himself as an officer working with the Financial Crimes Unit.  The message indicates that the reason for the call concerns a loan made by the receiver or someone in the receiver's family. The voicemail requests that a return call be made and a telephone number is provided. When a return call is made, the caller is asked to provide personal identifying information such as their date of birth and social security number.Reports indicate that the calls are frequent and persistent and that they even threaten arrest or legal action if information or money is not provided. It appears that the individuals making these calls may have access to some records connecting individuals and their relatives.  Missouri does not have a Financial Crimes Unit and all indications are that this is a fic***ious agency. If you receive a similar phone call, please be advised that it is a scam and please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Missouri Information ****ysis Center at 866-362-6422."Bottom line:Do not supply the callers with any additional information.  Inform them you have reported them to law enforcement and **** up.  If you haven't already, go ahead and report the calls to local law enforcement, your state's Attorney General and beyond.  Look up the local Secret Service ***nch's information in your area and get in contact with an agent there.  If you ever applied for a cash advance online, your information is out there.   Possible sources for the breach of your privacy are:* The scammers obtained your information from Teletrack - a reporting agency used by many cash advance lenders to determine their risk lending to you.  The service is able to tell cash advance lenders if you have existing loans with other companies, for example.  Many state laws prohibit borrowers from having more than two cash advances out at the same time. * The scammers created their own fake payday loan application site.  People looking for a cash advance went to the site and applied, thus freely providing the scammers with their information for malicious use at a later time.  * The scammers were able to get into the database(s) of cash advance lenders - probable targets being Sonic Payday and Cashnet USA.   How to protect yourself:* Inform your employer.  You are likely getting calls at home and/or at work, so make sure your employer is aware the calls are part of a scam and to not take them seriously.  Advise the callers that they are no longer allowed to call you at work.  If they continue to call, do***ent the date and time of the calls you received.  Save voice mails left if at all possible.  * C****e your number(s).  For some this may not be an option, for others a one-time number c****e can be done free of charge.Be advised - any references you listed on your payday loan application will be contacted.  Let those people know that this is a scam, and they can disregard. * Use Google Voice.  Google Voice is a great replacement voice mail system for just about any phone number you use.  Messages can be transcribed and voice mail recordings can be saved as mp3 files.  Pro Tip - call the scammers with a Google Voice number before turning off your old phone numbers.  Make sure when you call you identify yourself so they can s**** up their script.  At any point after they have your information pulled up just **** up.  They will then s**** religiously calling your Google Voice number.  At this point, you are free to c****e your regular phone number(s) and enjoy not having these people ever call you a***n.  (And laugh at the fact these people are basically talking to a brick wall several times a day)The scammers c****e their numbers frequently.  Law enforcement used to think it was because the callers ran out of minutes on their prepaid wireless accounts or they were shuttered due to fraud, but now they understand it's simply to evade detection by savvy consumers online.  With the proliferation of VoIP, it's even easier for the crooks to stay a couple of steps ahead of law enforcement.  Below is just a sampling of the 30+ numbers that have been used in recent memory.1-201-244-77221-209-349-73821-209-797-22121-212-500-08391-213-256-04081-213-995-30391-281-763-04331-347-289-39021-347-844-68171-347-844-68311-424-354-42701-516-232-89051-516-232-89351-518-212-02191-561-300-80181-561-210-41851-626-200-46461-631-456-40411-646-274-11431-646-810-86351-650-241-46041-707-401-40561-707-633-27891-708-401-05351-716-442-28241-***-862-40801-718-705-86691-760-514-01321-760-563-53841-772-318-49381-850-201-11111-858-777-19771-859-908-22811-866-860-45091-877-226-74881-888-706-74631-888-771-92491-888-785-44791-909-327-4870So can they really do anything to you?It's not a simple yes or no answer.  Logic dictates that, if they really wanted to take you for a ride and drain your bank accounts, they already would have.  So, why haven't they?  Authorization.  Why do you think you are being called so much?  Perhaps it is because they like the sound of your voice?  No, they have to have your authorization to take any form of payment from you, period.  The callers know their audience, and that audience is typically a bunch of people that have applied for payday loans in the past.  Most of those people they call couldn't afford an attorney if they wanted one, and are so used to receiving collections calls that so long as they sound like a real collector, they will likely be perceived as one.Furthermore, they don't even really want to talk to your attorney - that just sounds official and scary enough.  A real attorney would take the callers to task and write them off as two-bit con artists.  The callers need you, in writing, to authorize payment a***nst the fic***ious debt they claim you owe.  Go ahead, ask them for proof you owe the debt - more commonly known as verification of debt.  See what they say.  A phone authorization carries very little weight, so if they have so****ing signed by you on file, you are done for - and the callers know that.  That authorization is the only thing these callers are doing by the book, and for good reason.  If they just went all ***** nilly and made an ACH debit from your checking account, without your written approval, you could in turn report the transaction as fraudulent to your financial ins***ution.  In about 7-10 business days, you would get the funds returned to your account.  Then the scammers would be up a***nst a bank and their team of lawyers and investigators.  Bottom line:If you haven't paid the callers a dime, don't.  If you planned on paying them to shut them up, just don't.  Remember - you are not being contacted by a legally licensed, ethically owned and operated collector.  Read up on the FDCPA - http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf - and know your rights.http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-646-274-1143/3

I have  more then 10  voice mails from this Janet smith First State Attorney Service. Every other word is a c threats to me n my family. I don't know what to do.  I got to know that they are calling from  India Mumbai  Dahisar and  its a call center by the name of  E-SPECTRUM

First I was lefted a very rude message telling me tht he me tht I had a legal case a***nst me for an unpaid payday loan.  I have never applied for a loan using my email adress. The guy was clearly not from here sounded like he was over seas. They ***g up on me over 5 times becasue I kept asking questions and wounldnt give them my infomation. After a male told me tht I needed to turn myself to the police and have someone with me to bail me out. I let them have it and told them not to call me anymore. I called my bank and was able to verify tht INSTANT CASH never wired money into my account. I think its in best intrest for everyone tht this has happened to, to get fraud protection on your ssn. No telling what these ****s are capble of doing ! I must say they did have me shaking up for the two days I dealt with them.

They are still at it,They cursed me out in Indian on Friday. can someone help me get thos number shut down

Does anyone here know how I can get this awful number shut down.I called the Washington and delaware Attourney general. That stinkin woman knows she isnt an attourney

I received a phone call regarding money he said I owed.He said his name was Alan and he was with a investigative office.  He wished me luck if I did not return his call.  He had a foreign accent and the call was upsetting.

these people just keep callin me i have taken it to the police department its a scam the officer even told me so .  he even tried it with the police officer when i just handed him the phone.  its just frustrating. they repeated my email and my social be careful. going to c****e my accounts. they are calling my work saying they are my friend and demand to talk to me

Every day, every week I get this call at my work and it is always the same exact text they say.  Now they have females calling.  In a weeks time these are the #'s they have left to call back.  253-242-8924, 303-747-5932, 213-286-0298.  I have been dealing with these as****** since January.  I have c****ed my home # and my cell #.  I had a payday loan and I paid them off.  I am fortunate - I don't have to answer my phone at work since I have a caller ID and can allow these to go into voice mail.  I have kept all of their messages and have reported them to our public safety division.  It is annoying, but remember that this is a scam - **** up on them, **** an air horn into the phone or simply ignore the call when it comes in if you can.  They are not calling from within the US and the #'s they use c****e constantly so piining them down is hard, but I am sure at some point it will come back to them.  Karma works both ways......

They told me that i owed over $8000. I have never taken out a payday loan, therefore i know that this is a scam. they called me stating they would come to my home and my place of business and that i should be very scared. does anyone know how to prosecute these people in India or where ever the***** they are calling from?? they call me from several different numbers telling me that they needed me to give them my SS# so they could send an affidavit to me. There is no way in***** i would just give someone my SS#.....they called a***n after i ***gup and i told them look, calling from a different phone # is not going to make me give you any information so you people can rip me off, then they ***gup. i tried to call back and that phone line had immediately been disconnected. i called back a previous # that they had called from earlier and once i s****ed saying how i dont appreciate them calling me and i want them to remove my # from their call list, they ***g up on me a***n. i tried to call back and it was busy. these people should not have the right to harrass us like this....this is getting beyong ridiculous. more ironic is that over the weekend i found out that i had fraud on my account and online transactions that had occured. i had to cancel my account immediately and then the next day i s****ed receiving these calls. im going to be getting in contact with an attorney.

I laughed at them when they informed me that they were coming to arrest me, by the way my cousin is a D.A. and my roomate is a sheriff. I envited them to come over and attempt to kidnap me but they declined. I am a 6 ft 3 285 lb. executive security officer"body guard"with a permit to carry a fire arm. P.S. I havn't had a payday loan in 4 years. This is a scam for sure and they must be challenged without fear when they call.Verbally kick their a#@. Posts: n/aCredits: 33,675[Check] bdw330 Replied on 08-30-2010, 12:25 PM  Sub: #53 Not to be repe***ive, but this same thing happened to me last week. I was freaked out for about 1 min, but the more the person talked, the more BS i knew he was throwing at me. I took out a $200 payday loan 5 years ago, paid it off quickly, and resumed my life. This was before I setup my current email and cell phone number. I am going to not only contact every law enforcement agency I can, but I am also going to contact the company that originally gave me the loan those long years ago. This ****es me off! Here is another hint for them to leave you alone: Have fun with them. I know it sounds crazy, but the more they realize they can do nothing, the more they will not try. I received two phone calls last week. The first I just ***g up on... The second... I had such fun *****ing with this guy, that he ***g up on me! It has been 10 days, and I have not received a phone call yet. Maybe the FCC already took my complaint seriously, and shut these *****s down. Here is the number they "called" me from - 805-500-4567. Ask for Andy Mayo... That is the guy who has been threatening me.

This went on for a week and when i finally talked to them, they tried to convince me to get a prepaid "walmart" card and fax it to them with authorization to take $700 owed and that it should be notarized but as long as i sent my photo id it was fine. He actually gave me a word for word statement to fax. When i didnt fax it, they called a***n at which point i told them they are a scam. They threatened me with court proceedings to the tune of $8000 and told my husband that id be crying all the way to jail. He a***n screamed fraud and we havent heard from them in a week now Posts: n/aCredits: 33,675[Check] cosmo Replied on 09-25-2010, 08:03 PM  Sub: #55 Instacash, "Morris", called me Friday and stated much the same. Except that I owed him $8,954.00 and he would have an investigator at my door today to collect. He said all of the same things as everybody else has heard; he has a judgement here in my county, it was from a payday loan, yadi, yada. He gave me his number and his manager. Strangely, he ***g up when I told him that everything was recorded and was sent to the Atty. Gen. in Co. after his second call. I had a little time, so I called him back for the next two hours and hammered him that I traced his phone, got his location and reiterated that not only was the A.G. after him but also the phone company and the police dept., here and that there would be an investigator there today. It turns out that what they are doing is not only a crime by itself but also by virtue of doing it on the phone and doing it in a large way to many others in my area. Sorry, the guy called me when my blood sugar was down. But, yes, they are vermin and rat poison is too good for them.

He told my gf that she took a loan out on Feb 2 2010 and she never paid it back. Which is TOTALLY untrue! We have never even heard of " Instacash"! Then once she was trying to ask questions this guy "Peter" kept inturupting her to c****e the question around and back on to her. He then got loud and rude. Saying he was going to tell her work and every other employer i try to get and that a federal officer would be here to pick her up the day before and hold her in a jail cell until the following day when she had court and that if she didnt pay 450 dollars today then she would go to jail after her court time. But when she tried to ask what court and where he would just say that someone would be here to pick her up. Anyways this guy is a a**hole and its pathetic that he creeps on people like that. I feel bad for anyone who has gone through this and i hope ppl are smarter than to shed there money out to this LOSER!! I also went to the police department and they told me to tell him to " DELETED...PM sorry no profanity allowed per the TOS.i know how you feel,but talking to them at all is not advised.file the report then ignore them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Last edited by paulmergel; Yes****ay at 12:03 PM.  Posts: n/aCredits: 33,675[Check] willje1 Replied on Today, 08:16 AM  Sub: #57 I

The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references."The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can s**** Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.The BBB offers these tips:•    Ask the debt collector to provide official do***entation 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. •    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. •    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

what law firm do you know won't give you the name of their law firm? when you ask for the name of the company they will tell you that they can't give it to you because they will get fired. its a SCAM!!!

calling me at work and home, saying he is ivan from state attorney office.  who are these people?

I wish we could find a way to shut down this number.They answer 1st state attourneys.They arnt attourneys

they do threatened you with legal action. they cannot send you to jail it's a scare tactic they use inscaring you for you will give them money. if they haven't send you any correspondence in the mail but they are only calling. won't give you any information about their company. eiither they hacked your info off the internet or trying to take your idenity from you.  if you ask for someone who is american citizen & speak English they will not give them the phone. it is a SCAM!!!

i called my state attorney general office this morning. they told me do not send them anything. especially if they will not give you any information about there company.

This is a big scam!!!!!!!!!!! We need to shut them down

I contacted the Attoueney General in Washington State. We need to get all thier numbers shut down

This is a new phone number in the same payday loan scam,where they threaten you with legal action on fake payday loans

SCAMMERS!!!!  Tried to tell me I had a legal case a***nst me for an unpaid payday loan.  I have no loans and the guy I spoke to was from over seas and on a cell phone.  Not who he said he was nor is then a First State Attorney's Service, which is where he stated he was from.
