The same guy just called me.  Its a bit amusing to me, that is when I have time to play his game. Nick Stevens needs to work on his english.  Thank goodness he doesn't have my work number.  Btw...I too am waiting to be arrested. Two weeks and counting.

My client in California received calls from these scam artists as well. For a good run down of how the scam is worked see:http://www.bbb.org/cincinnati/business-review ... ti-oh-90002652/Everyone out there... NEVER, EVER send these crooks a dime. Don't be scared or intimidated no matter what they say... they are liars, cheats and criminals! DO report them to the authorities. "John Matthews" is a phony. cashnetusa.com is phony, or at least they are allowing their website to be phished for personal info. NEVER, EVER give out your social security number, or your birthdate, or any other personal information over the phone. No legit company would ask you to do so. As a final humorous note, when I called to check on "John Matthews" I was connected to a man with a very thick East Indian accent. He said he was with the "legal department". I said, "Great! Let me talk to a lawyer." He said there were no lawyers. I asked to talk to a supervisor. On came a man with an even thicker accent who promptly told me his name was "Paul Williams". When I questioned why a man with such a very anglo name spoke with a very strong East Indian accent, he ***g up.

I received several calls today from that number. His name was Atty Daniel Cooper from the law offices of Jones M Grants, located on Olive Ave., Burbank, CA. He spoke broken english and when I asked him for the street # of Olive Ave.,he just said the 3rd floor. He said I had an unpaid paycheck loan and I am a suspect in a felony fraud. The lender does not want the money but only was to see me behind bars for 3 months. By 11:00am tomorrow I will get a phone call from 911 and they will be handcuffing my to bring me to jail for w months. He had all my checking info, ss#, etc. way too much personal info.. When I told him I was waiting for my atty to call back, he ***g up on me. Then he called back, demanding the name and number of my atty. I told him I was not going to provide him with anything unless he gave the the street number of his office, along with sending me a copy of the paperwork on the payday loan. He said he was not going to do anything and I will be in jail tomorrow.....

My phone call was from the phone number 760-4833146 he claimed to be a Kevin from Law firm of California.  I was really upset, as I have never had a loan processed through payday loans.  He would not tell me which firm it was or how much I got or even when I got it he wanted me to pay 981.00 or he was arresting me in 2 days charging me with Theft and Fraud.   I was so upset that I s****ed making phone calls and resear****g the internet, to find out that these phone calls where frauds.  Thank you everyone for posting these comments as this guy had me so upset that I almost made payments.

Yes.. I just received a call from a guy name Nick Stevens a Senior Attorney.. He told me he will be sending the sheriff office in my county to come and serve me with papers and arrest and take me down to the court house. If I didn't pay my loan that I have no knowledge of even taking one out... Its just scares me knowing that he has all my information.. thats my life.. my home address, work address my ssn # my bank account #, I will end up having to c****e all my personal information including my number....why would people do this to someone?!?... I don't understand????

I got a phone call from this number informing me that I owe a payday loan and a sheriff will be coming to arrest me.  I never applied for a payday loan and the account that they said that they deposited the account into is not even existing!!!!  They keep calling my job and leaving messages to my co-workers, telling everybody that there's a legal case a***nst me!!!! What the*****!!!!!

Since you said you study law, pleeeeease help me. Cause I believe that they have some of my info, and may have opened up some credit cards or whatever.  I would love to put an end to this outragousness, and file a lawsuit a***nst the payday loan companies that are releasing very important information about hard working citizens. First of all I did get a loan, and gave them my personal information about me, but when it came time to pay them one draft was only pulled.  So I contact the payday loan company and asked them what was going on, to my suprise I was told that my account was sent to a collection agency. So I tried to contact the agency and it was months and Sundays before I spoke with anyone. Secondly I s****ed getting harrassing messages from some people that sound like they had there head underwater, and the connection was soooo bad that I s****ed to get a feeling that these people weren't legit.  So the next thing I know they called my friends and family saying that I was going to be arrested, and other uncouth ****ods... Which by the way scared the***** out of my 67yr old mother, and so my next question is how to we stop this mess!!!

ive been getting these calls as well at work and on my personal cell..i have reported all this info to my local law inforcement the fbi the ftc and bbb...but they keep calling so i decided i might as well have some fun with these ppl..first they called me stating there name was john thomas..then john matthew, alan thomas nick stevens steve george and steve edwards..claiming to be from the law office of jonas m. grant..i did research on this..the address they gave me was 3500 w olive ave burbank ca. 91505..i pulled this address up and it belong to a local seafood restaurant...i then pulled up the law office of jonas m grant..and it does exist just on the other side of california!! i knew this was a scam but i spoke to jonas grant himself and explained the situation he told me i wasnt the first..i call them back everyday to to see how much i info i can get and the end up getting so mad they **** up and then turn their satellite phones off!!!  but bottom line this is such a riduculus scam and maybe by posting this i can ease the mind of someone else that may be just s****ing to recieve these calls..under no cir***stances give these ppl ur info..they will have someinfo already but when they ask you to verify it just tell them you are not goin to verify anything...i just talk to them today and had to call back 4 times...i asked for the steve george i talked to yes****ay and now steve edwards..haha...says he dont know a steve george and has never heard of me before..i then told him i was in cali at the address he gave me and he said come to the 12th floor..i told him it was a 1 florr restaurant and he said oh oh come to the 2nd floor the 1st floor was being rennovated, lol...yeah then went on and told me the 3rd floor the 10th floor and so on...i then ask why he couldnt make up his mind on what floor he worked on and his reply..." i am in the elevator this is why i c****e floors" **** really now? its just a bunch of scammers trying to scare people and they know that they cant do sh*t..which is why they will curse you and threaten you but bottom line is when you get right back in their face and dont coward down..they usually end up ****ing up on you and then disconnecting their phones...hope this helps to any one just recieving one of these scam call.

I received a phone call from "Steve George" who claims he was with the law office fo "Jonathan Graham". He threatened that I was going to be arrested on Monday for a payday loan back in October 2008 that I never took out! I askd him to send me the information and he claims that he wasn't authorized to do so. He told me I would lose the case in court and have to serve 4-5 months in jail and pay $5K. he said that I needed to let my family and friends know that I was going to be arrested on Monday and that someone needed to bail me out of jail. Make sure they were prepared to do so and i will need $5k to get out of jail. He had my brother's name and threatened to put him in jail as well. I refused to verify my social security # with him and he told me that would make things worse. Too bad for him, he called me at work ( I work for a collection agency, a legitimate one) and all of my calls are recorded. I hope he calls a***n. Then he can cut me a check.

This person calls me approximately 8 times for the day on my work phone number. This man keep threathening in my voice mail about taking me to court. The last time I spoke with this individual around 3 weeks ago I told him I have a Bankruptcy Discharge, and if he keep calling my place of employment I am going to sue them. He still continue to call me. I can't even make out this person's name because he cannot speak proper English he has a foreign accent

I also s****ed receiving calls on Friday from this number, but sadly they messed with the wrong person. I already knew this was a scam having received the same call back in April of the year from a diffrent phone number but it was the same people. This s****ed on Friday I was left two messages on Friday first from a Justin Watson atty and then at 8:30 PM from a Aaron Williams atty. (please note it is illeagle for a debt collector to leave more than one message in a day which is why most call but don't leave messages untill later calls because they can keep calling you as long as they have not left a message) The weekend was quite but then Monday I get a call from Justin Watson and a***n on Tues from Justin Watson. I kept trying to call them back because I love messing with these people the more time they are on the phone with me the less time they have to call someone else. at first I couldn't get through it kept telling me all circuts are busyI finally got ahold of someone last night. I swear at first he said his name was john then later in the call he was Charley. I asked him to quit calling my number I knew that they were scammers and I had reported them to the FBI and my local police. He tells me "You do what you want to do and I will do what I want to do" And I said "No quit calling my phone" He then goes on to tell me "you people are di****able you take out payday loans and then do not pay them back this is why we must call you" Okay I never told this guy who I was so how did he know what my "case" was about? I informed this guy that in "America" you can not be arrested for non payment on a loan it is not a criminal matter and that perhaps they should learn our laws before they s**** trying to scam people. They guy goes on to tell me I will push to personally see your f-ing a** behing bars"  I said no lawyer would use the F word and to send the police over as I was home. Now "Charley" was frusterated telling me not to call back to this number a***n.Bottom line DO NOT Give these *****s any personal info and for god sakes do not give them Money. You can try to report to the FBI, FTC and local law enforcement but they use a s**** for there numbers so it's pretty impossible to find them and stop them more than likely they are out of the country. Just **** up on them, block their number or ignore the calls. YOU WILL NOT BE ARRESTED. Even if you did default on a payday loan you can not be arrested for that. I am posting a link about this phone number and if you google it it will bring up even more.http://californiabusinesslaw.blo*****.com/201 ... number-760.html

A man named Simon with a heavy Indian accent called me and told me that I was being sued and that I needed an attorney and that if I didn't call them back that all he could do was " wish me luck while the situation unfolded " he had ALOT of my personal info

I've received a call this morning also, 3rd day in the row.  About a loan I supposedly took out in October of 2008. (Which I never did~I didn't even have my current phone number in 2008) I told them I was at home this morning waiting for the officer to arrest me, he said someone will be there in an hour.  I told him I've been waiting for 3 days arrest me or stop calling already!  This last call I told them I was going to report this number to FTC and he ***g up on me.  I wish someone would at least teach them how to speak english properly!

yes i just recieved another call from these people this mrng at 936 am.  It went straight to my voice mail, but they did not leave a message. I informned them i have never recieved any legal do***entation about this supposedly loan  back in oct of 2008. they keep calling me and harrasing me saying the local sherrifs department is coming down now and i will be in court

I been getting harassed by these guys for some time now. Like all of you they won't give me any information, also the name of the loan company keeps c****ing. Today I spoke with one of them and he told me I was going to be arrested tomorrow if I didn't pay him the money.... I informed him that if this was true then it was a civil case, not criminal. His responce to me was " To go back to Africa".... The funny thing is, I'm not black and I don't even sound like I would be... Guess I upset him and that was the only thing he could come up with.... I really wish these people would stop calling cause they have even s****ed calling my family members and threatening them as well. If anyone has any ideas please let me know....

I got another call from a Marry Thomas from this number....they would not tell who they were, the foreigner just said she was from the legals department, she told the receptionist that there was legal issues a***nst me and my social security number...they are giving private and personal information out to w***ver answers the phone....that is not only harrassment but also is a privacy issue.  My company does not stand for such calls, they are reporting this to the local FBI office.....

I have been receiving phone calls from these people for close to a year now.  The names they use are hysterical, including Attorney Scott Peterson and office Justin Watson (where is Sherlock Holmes).  Please under no cir***stances send these clowns any money.  They will call you every name in the book, and threaten you with jail time (debt collection is a civil matter for the most part).  Seems they are middle eastern, or possibly from ****stan or India.Having graduated from law school, I knew this was not a legitimate debt collection company.  What is very disturbing is that they have my name, social security number and address.  They also have names and numbers of relatives of mine and have called and harassed them on occassion.  They claim I own a payday loan, but I never took one out (I did inquire into one about two years ago and gave some information).  I contacted the company that I inquired taking the loan from and they of course denied that any information had been stolen.  That is the frustrating part of this situation, these scammers would not have any information but for the company's breakdown in security (or possible inside job).  One these guys even tried to get a car with my credit out in California.We need to hold the scammers responsible, but also the loan company for allowing someone to hack or steal all of this information.  Law enforcement does not consider this top priority, but with enough complaints these people will be caught.  I encourage anyone who these scammers contact to report them to both the AG of your state and the state they called from (They are based on the West Coast - California, Washington, and Oregon).In the meantime I enjoy *****ing with them each time they call.  I figure if they are on the phone with me, then at least some other poor person is not being pursuaded to send them money.  We need to find these guys and deport them.

They called me last week and a***n this week and first told me they were calling from San Jose then Los Angeles.  Gsve me 5311 Stubaker Circle, San Jose, CA  99136 as an address

Yep same thing here... said it was about a payday loan in which I have never in my life got a payday loan.... they told me I was getting arrested tommorow and that I need to be in court at 11am but couldn't tell me where court was at.  RIDICULOUS!  I'm glad I know more people have received this call though.... now I know to ignore for sure!

I have received calls from this number, at home, and at work.  I told them to cease and desist and that if they had some business with me, to send it to me in writing, that I would not "deal" over the phone, an dreminded them that once I inform them to stop calling me, they are bound by federal law to stop......they don't!!!!!!   They pretend that they are officers, or attorneys, but cannot give badge numbers, license numbers, or any other information.   They have thick, middle eastern acccents, yet say their names are such:  John Smith, Charles Smith, etc.   They threaten, they swear, they tell you to go to*****, etc.  This harassment needs to stop, it needs to be punished!  These offices, wherever they are located, should be stormed and everyone there arrested, that would send a message!!!!!

yep.  They called me too.said they were some law firm, and the guy calling (thick middle eastern accent) said he was an attorney....first of all, he wouldn't answer his own phone if he were an attorney, and when I asked for his full name, state, and license number, he finally admitted that he couldn't give it to me.    If he were a real attorney, he wouldn't have called, he would have sent so****ing in writing, and he would give the requested information.   Other blogs state that these people are untrained and simply say anything to make you pay them money.  They harass until you pay to shut them up.  I have turned over all numbers and info to the FBI, The Federal Trade Commission, my state attorney general and the office of Indian affairs, as some of these calls come from Indian reservations.   They can't do anything but will threaten to take people's children away, state that there are warrants out for your arrest, etc etc............if you DO owe money, this is a civil matter ,NOT a criminal one...they cannot arrest you)and they would take you to court............they is a reason they don't..because they are illegal.  **** up.don;t talk to them, don't give out information, just **** up.

Yes, I totally agree!  They threaten and harrass in their messages.  They called me sometime last fall and then s****ed a***n in the spring and here they are a***n, just about 5 minutes ago.  The other times they were a different phone number.  In last fall, I spoke to one of them and they stated I owed a payday loan.  I have never gotten a payday loan.  I did inquire about payday loans online, and decided not to get one.  He threatened I would be arrested.  The messages also state I need to call back or my attorney and that if I do not return the call, they wish me luck on what is about to unfold upon me.  Ridiculous!

These people need taken out of this earth.... I have a restraining order on them stating they are with a law firm based out of California and now New York. The names are ever c****ing, but same people keep calling my office. Today they called four times and a few months earlier they called my office 16 times in a row and cursed my President & Operations Manager both stating they were not who they said they were..etc...
