I rec'd a call on my cell , leaving a mesg from a Jack...I was going to be sued..so****ing about my social security number...called back this number talked fast ..I call back phone number answered : just a moment please while connect you..mailbox full goodbye....I called twice different days..get same mesg. What are these calls about...?

I just got a call from them at work telling me the exact same thing from a loan debt collection company he was on and named David Jones... who in the world would have a heavy accent middle eastern guy with a name of David Jones??? He then told me some BS about briefing through e-mail that there is a collection lawsuit a***ns me... I was like wouldn't Legal matters be sent to your home address not your e-mail?!? I demanded them to send me the legal do***entation(if there is one)stating all what required of me and what is the lawsuit a***nst and company profiles and such, sent to my home and not through my e-mail and call me to my home phone and not my work number... He was mumbling on and on about I needed to talk to an officer and if I don't talk to him, he then told me good luck? He didn't want to give out any company name or anything he just out of the blue called me on my work number... This is an absolute scam they are doing because my sister in law got the call a couple of months ago and almost fell for it.

WOW!  That is some great information.  I was somewhat concerned as I received a call and nasty, disgusting, threatening, message this morning however after reading the detail provided am no longer worried.  I attempted to callback and after numerous attempts of getting ***g up on and no answers and voicemailbox full messages I did get through to someone who was being very ***ue and unwilling to properly identify themselves their company and their legitimacy.  Then after I returned the nastiness he was unloading on me he ***g up.  I tried to call back and continued to get ***g up on each time until a different person, a female, who answered.  She carried on business with much the same rudeness and proceeded to **** up on me.  I do wonder how this place came up with my information but in today's world of scams and con artists I fail to trust 99.999999% of everyone.  It kind of stinks, but, that is just how it has gotten to be...it is what it is...Be weary my friends...

I received a call yes****ay and today from this same number.  Some Indian speaking man says I owe  money for an online payday loan I received from Instant Cash.  I told him I never received money from an Instant Cash. He said prove it in court and ***g up on me.  He also had personal info of mine, like my employer, relatives, my e-mail address, and the name of my bank.  He said that I will be prosecuted and put in jail. He claimed he was from some law firm. I heard alot of Indian talking people in the background, like a callcenter or so****ing.

May be wrong but my research is that internet cash advance companies are somehow involved.  Either they have hacked their sites or they companies are selling your info to others.  It's scary, I have yet to hear of these people actually getting money out of your account unless you authorize them to take money out.  However the iden***y theft opportunities are scary if they have all this info.  Make sure you contact the Credit Companies and have them put an alert on your name/SSN and notify your bank.  I'm amazed how they have not been tracked down.  They operate out of central California and I can't imagine how many people have paid these scammers.

I got a call forom a Stephanie someting or another today...threatening me to call or I would regret it. She called me on my work phone! I have been harassed like this in the past and it has GOT to stop. The FBI said they could do nothing because these people are out of the country. They seem to know all about me....sketchy.....but they know a lot. They must be selling names to other places. I am so tired of this.  This number goes right to voicemail. She said the "charges will be filed...and it will all come down on you."....then she says Goodbye and Good luck. PLEASE.  But how do you stop these calls?

They called me at work and my cell phone. I told them to never call my work and they ***g up on me. I called them back and told them that they were scamming people and that they were con artist. They kept ****ing up on me.

Thank you so much for posting this....I've been looking everywhere for information about this, and the Consumer Alert pretty much explains it all.

I just hot 3 calls one after the other with the same message but his name was JACK WOOD. I tried to call back but the only thing I got was "the person at Extension what ever it was is unavailable, please leave a message." this BS and it should be illegal to call ppl cell phones. I wish he calls me back then he will be hearing back frokm my attorney. .

This is a scam -- call them and say you want your number removed. Then, I would encourage you to continue to call them over and over, although even this level of annoyance won't begin to repay them for the intimidating and harassing messages they have obviously left you. DO NOT give them any of your information. I repeat, THIS IS A SCAM!!!

They called me on Sa****ay at my job...message was on my desk this morning when got to work.  I called to see who it was and they answered and said it was a law firm for some payday loan company..I said well you must have a wrong number cause I have never got no payday loan off of the internet..he says well you know what you have done and can take care of it in court...  Called back while I was out and just tried calling  the number and it took me to a voicemail like if it was a cell phone. What is up with that....This is the 3rd time I have had this happen to me and do not for any reason know how these people got my information..but I do know that it is fraud...cause I bought fell for it the first time but was warned about them so I they didn't get anything from me!!!!  BECAREFUL DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!

Got call on cell and call today at work.  The person who left the message and gave my intern the name of David Jones.  When I called on my cell to address w***ver it is to not call my work the phone was just answered with "How can I help you"..no name of business.  I asked for David Jones and the guy told me that he was his paralegal and had just left for the courthouse.  I asked for the name of the business.  He refused but I kept asking...He said Anderson Law Firm.  I asked his name...didn't understand first name but Attorney Kotterman.  I demanded to have their address and he would not give it to me.  He eventually ***g up on me as I told him to do not interrupt me.  I tried calling back but they would not answer or ***g up on me.  The message that I got on April 1st was threatening and ended with "If you do nct call me back...good luck"  This is all illegal

I too got the call from the (559-821-2411) today and he mentioned his name to be a Mark Henry and that he needed to receive a call from me or my attorney. I tried to call the number back to find out why he called and the number says that the mailbox is full and their no room to leave a message. But I don't understand what he's calling me for cause I haven't signed up for anything. There's a number for the govt to block telemarketer, but I don't think you can block other number unless you call the phone company.

I got 2 calls from this number (559-821-2411), and the man had such a thick accent I could not understand most of the conversation.     I saved on my voice mail and it went so****ing like this:  This messatge is intended for Susan****.  Susan, the  I need you or your (word I didn't get) attorney to call me.  The issue is a (word or words I didn't get) subs***ute (not sure about this as couldn't understand it even 4th time I listened).  My name is (gave names, one was Juan so****ing) and (missed a lot I couldn't understand but then gave a very long number with lots of 6's).     I heard so****ing about 'you or your lawyer must contact me' and the end was:  Now Susan if you do not call and I do not hear from your attorney either, the only thing I can do is wish you good luck, good by, and take care.     I don't wonder how they got the number, as there is SO MUCH info on the internet, much of which is totally inaccurate.  There is now a website called 'spokeo.com' that has way too much info, and for me, 3/4 of it is totally inaccurate, that gets info from anything you've ever completed in your entire life (surveys, applications, etc.).     What I would like to are 3 things: 1, how to stop people like the 559-821-2411 people from callling; and, 2, how to stop websites from publishing info, particularly inaccurate info; and, 3, how to correct inaccurate info.  For instance, my grand***her died in 1985 and I am STILL getting mail, calls and even e-mails for him!     Thank you very much for any information you can give me.  Sincerely, Susan :)

i found this and wanted to share it with everyone on here. More people than we know have been contacted and threatened this way. Below is what i found on another site .. it mirrored what i went through ...... 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 received this call about 2 hours as well, the guy who left the voice mail was Mike Smith I believe and when I called back I spoke to Mark who read me an affidavit from a payday loan lawsuit. I am still trying to figure it all out the account they are saying the fraudulent activity came from I have had twice once 3 yrs ago in 07 and I had no payday loans on that one and the one just opened end of last year (with the same company). I came to the conclusion that the account I used for payday loans was not that bank and when I did use it, it got denied by the payday loan company. All the ones I took I paid off. I think this is a scam as well. I'm waiting till tomorrow till I'm served by Orange County Sheriff dept like Mark said I would be at work. And if not I know its a scam.

Can someone please tell me what this is about?  Is it an April fools day joke or so****ing?  This guy wouldnt tell me anything but the fact I was being arrested for 3 or 4 different counts of a crime!  I was supposed to talk to David Jones.

I just recieved the same message and I was informed i'll be arrested tomorrow morning!

I received a voice mail on my cell phone about 30 mins ago stating that it is urgent that I call them back regarding so case pending a***nst me. I called back & a person by the name of Mark and the number that initially came up on my voice mail was a 0000 number. So I call him back & he said that I am being sued on April 7th by an online payday loan company. I have had a similiar call end of last year by a Mark Winters and I think it is a sham.

Incomming call from 5598212411, ***g up when I answered.

How are they getting cell numbers?
