called my work said I have a leagel thing with them and to call him back at 201-234-4602 Ext 1049

Ha. Wacky scammers. 'Eagle Eye' indeed. Just tell them you saw the flick and it wasn;t that good.

Correct they are using Eagle Eye and Associates. They called me and told me that I owed 987+ dollars and needed to send them a promissary note immediately or else I will be prosecuted for un-paid payday loans. I though about it and they said I received the payday loan back in May of 2008 which I don't remember having one. They said that the lenders have been trying to call me with no answer and now they have placed a "case file in your name" i didn't find much info over the weekend due to them stressing them out, but I thought it had to be some type of scam. They also said my outstanding payday lenders filed a case file against me but when I called them they had never heard of them and stated that i was current. COMPLETE SCAM DO NOT PAY!!! oh by the was the person who called me was Rose Jackson with ext. 1016

they are now useing Eagle Eye & Associates and call from 888-472-7949

Another false message posted by someone associated with this laughable scam.  Hey "jim", you fake messages would be more believeable if you didn't type in broken English. lololol!!!

i got a call and the guy said that he was from a legal dep and that when i gone to the web site found a lot of things about a scam, but the very next day i had to face legal charges.

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal. See my message below for more details and for information about reporting these criminals to federal and state law enforcement.

It's a scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.

ABC News recently did a report on this particular scam. Here's the link to the report:  http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1

And the West Virginia Attorney General recently issued a press release warning consumers about this scam. Here's the link:  http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm

This 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 gobbylgook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something 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, US Federal Bank, Sonic Bank, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, 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 spoofing 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 associated 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 offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./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 against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (
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:

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.

This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):

1) 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.

2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov  Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.

3) 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) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

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 again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Received the same call and the ideian guy said he was a officer for the company. He said I owed my for a unknown loan. I told him that I contacted my lawyer and filed a police report.

It isn't...it's a bunch of scammers. You all should be concerned about what website you put your personal financial information on as it is a corrupt site.

A Guy named Shawn / Sean called and left a message from "United Legal Investigation Bureau for a different name on my WORK vm (but I don't leave both first and last names on my greeting).  He said I needed to call him back about an investigation, and that he couldn't leave details for me on the vm.  He said my calling him back would help me out.  Strong accent.  Now I know not to call him back, and will alert the rest in my company incase other are getting this type of call.  PS - he gave ext 1048 as his extension.

Just recieved a second call from the same Middle eastern male that called me on the 2nd, this time his name was Max Carter, he called from 213-992-3512 which is an los Angeles number but left a message to call him back at the New jersey number.

Please go online and report this to the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov/ .  They helped me deal with this.  Also call all of your credit cards and bank accounts and put them on fraudulant alert.

Have any of you all noticed this man has contacted everyone after Oct. 2nd?  Also my husband did a reverse trace, he's in New Jersey, so it's a Federal situation because Mr. Andersen has called us in California.  This needs to be reported to the FBI

I just received a call from this number today saying the same thing and when I called back they hung up on me. When I called back from my home phone it went busy and I never got back through. My husband called and was put on hold forever. He called back and let them know he was calling the police.

The same thing happened to me did you owe one? I dont think I did but I am un-sure because of my recent divorce.

I received the same call. I am sure that I dont owe any Cash advances

i got call from 201 257 4210 they ring ones than did said any thing.

I just received the same call.  I reported it to my bank.

I received a call from this Jeff Ansderson at this same number with my ss#, bank information and relatives names saying i owe a payday loan and it defaulted. I want to know who and why I received this call.

Got a call from this number from a middle eastern male saying I had taken out a payday loan and defaulted payment, he didn;t/wouldn't give me his name. Guy had my name, SSN and phone number....don't know what was going on but he hung up in a hurry when I old him I was calling the police.
