Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans 12/01/2010—The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check cashing services.One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The ****od by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim’s relatives, friends, and employers. Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt. These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller. If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:■Contact your banking ins***utions;■Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;■Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger; ■File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

If this #------» +000000000 calls me 1 more f***ing time HOUSTON we're going to have some MAJOR issues! The only people I owe are Sallie Mae & they get there payments! These **** NON english speaking a**holes make me sic****!

I receive calls as mentioned above to other people, yes he has a heavy accent and cannot understand him with plain american names.  They are crazy and always c****e the name and supervisor must speak to me immediatelly.  When you keep asking questions about who they are collecting for and how much and why, he gets all upset and will **** up at times or keep asking can you hear me.BIG TIME SCAM

Just got a call from this guy, said he was from Brooklyn NY. Said I owed a loan and legal action would be taken.

This is totally a SCAM, they keep calling work, cell phone, and anyone else they can get. Its all about a 300.00 payday loan, and that I was going to jail.......they continue to call how do you stop them??????

My BF got a call just like this.  I freaked out and tried calling the number back only to find an unknown full voicebox.  Same as all the other comments.  Indian-accent David Brown from ACS.  Said there was a lawsuit a***nst the SS number and to call back immediately.  Glad I saw all these comments and didn't fall for it.

too have gotten calls from this number. I pleased them on my call reject list on my cell phone. this man with an indian accent has alot of compliants. i've noticed out of all the numbers i've research and found to have been made from fraudent companies there is bound to be at lest one indian male with a british sr name. to me he sounds like all the other indian male callers from anywere from advance cash with american legal services (fraudulant names they are not affiliatated with advance cash-and what american legal service????), to state investagater (but he will not give you what state and for what company he is representing), to strait out you owe use money and if we don't get $250.00 in two hours the police will be there to arrest you. Well with that last one i told him tht how long will they take to get here because i'll be waiting for them outside. Oh yah, almost forgot to tell you another thing he will use is that he is a lawyer and is filling a law suite a***nst you for fradulant use of your own ss# and tries to gett your info. If they can't get it from you , they'll call your job and beginn toask for your personal info from them. fourtunatly, the line of work that I do is highly confadentual and no one can even say who is here or not, let alone any personal info. Just thought I give you heads up on this guy. Once a***n he sounds the same with no veration in his actual voice or indian accent. He will c****e his name and business name, but he will always use a british sr name. Yah that's not going to happen for a male of his indian background to take the sr name of his wife, and I doubt verymuch that his ***her is an english man. lol!!!!!!!!  I like to **** him off because it is easy to do. just simply keep asking him what the name of his company is and ask him to speak clearly because you don't understand. That really gets under his skin to the point that he will s**** acting unbecoming of a telamarkter. Have fun and I hope this info helps you.

Just received a call from a 000-000-000 number and I let i go to voicmail.  It was from a heavy Indian accent man whose name was supposedly David Brown from ACS and he stated that I owed him money for some payday loan that i never took out.  I called the number back that he left 347-416-5090 and I told him that I had already turned him in to the police and the FBI and he laughed and ***g up.  These people are scammers.

I just wanted to let you know that I s****ed receiving calls from this Scammer about a month ago and a few weeks after the first call, a random withdrawl was made out of my checking account for $29.86. Luckily I don't use that account and was able to see it immediately. I had to close the account and they continue to call now and a***n. We found that there was a connection between the call and the withdrawl so watch your bank accounts! But I like the idea of pretending to be my own lawyer and see what they have to say to that!

Man who called had an indian accent said he was joseph anderson of acs legal dept thaat i failed to pay a loan. He kept callin g walk no. thraating court action.

Very funny - these scammers have been calling me for months. Now when I'm having a bad and I see them calling, I use it as an opportunity to vent some steam. :)DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MORE OR ANY INFORMATION. Use this phone call as an opportunity to curse someone off. :)

I actually called him back and said i was the lawyer of the person he called and that i was calling because he had requested her lawyer to call. and he put me on hold and never came back...lol! **** a loser.

Hi this guy calls my work, threatens me and is an !!!@#@$.  Once I called a different number and it was some sort of "publications". Each time this guy calls with the heavy accent, he gives a different number, threatens with being arrested by him :officer I do not know what.  I am scared of him, he says that he wishes me good luck because so****ing bad is going to happen to me.  We all should call the police!

I have been receiving calls from this number for some time now. The number shows up as "unknown" or +000000 on my cell phone. The man who is supposedly named David Brown is calling both my cell phone and my place of employment. This number calls several times a day and all messages and the one time I did speak to him I was told that there was a legal issue filed a***nst me and my social security number and that he was on my behalf so that I needed to speak with him ASAP before legal action was taken a***nst me. It is super frustrating already!

These guys tried telling me I took out a $300.00 dollar loan and they deposited it into my checking account. It never happened. They ended the call by saying I was going to jail if I didn't give them my credit card number. Haha I laughed at him and told him I'd see him there

I just received a call from the same people.  The number was "Private" on my caller ID.  However, when I asked for a number to call him back, I was given 347-416-5090.  I am about to call back Mr. "Louis Vincent" (a man who barely speaks English) and let him know that I am aware of his scam and have reported him to the authorities.  Thanks guys for posting this out here so I could access this information quickly.  I sincerely hope that no one falls for this scam!!

I work for a police department and just got a complaint regarding the same type of call from the Indian male. IT IS 100% a SCAM. If you get the call a***n just tell him you will be contacting the police and I doubt they will call back. Or you can **** him off in any way you'd like.

I just got a call from this number - it shows up as 000-000-000 on my phone, but the caller left a voicemail message. I was told that his name was Chris Brown (keep in mind, I could barely understand his english, and he was clearly an Indian caller) and that he was calling from ACS. He told me that there was a lawsuit a***nst my name and my social security number and that I needed to call back immediately. He also said so****ing about my employer and references? So****ing to that effect, I could barely understand the message, and I listened 3 times! It was was super odd. Mentioned the number 3 times, so of course, the first thing I did was to Google it. I'm not a c****, and I think I know a scam when I hear one...

Just got a call from 347-416-5090 saying he had a legal issue and that if I didn't call him back I will be arrested. This guy said his name was Steve - right, I couldn't understand half of what he said!!! No don't fall for it!

Just got a call from some guy who can hardly speak english saying he has a court action a***nst me. I asked for his phone number and he gave me 347-416-5090. I argued with him for a little while and ***g up on him. I turned in some info on a payday loan not to long ago and have gotten a couple of calls of this type. Don't fall for it people!!! btw- He said his name was Jack Thomas. HAHAHA what a joke.
