just called my job 5 minutes ago as Richard Brown left a threating message on my voicemail indicating they are with a law enforcement agency and I am in alot of trouble with the law. They gave me address and social on the voicemail, but I have received calls like this before and I have reported it to the police, so I have a police report out on this and will add this number to their list. I was also told by the police that these types of calls are scams.

What legal firm do I call in reference to this number 2014789593? I want these people to stop harassing me and my neighbor stating that there from US LAW INFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION of BMG.That I'm to pay this company out of court $1100 or will be sent papers or my neighbor papers to be sued or jailed.
A Mr.John McCain and who's number is this 8564049593? If you know of legal help place it now.

i got a call from officer JOHN MCCAIN,i thought it might be a scam but i was wrong,i payed the debts back to the company through the UNITED STATES LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT and i recieved a PAYED-IN-FULL CERTIFICATE from the company itself..

I have been receiving harassing calls from officer John McCain threatening to take legal action against me or my family telling me something terrible may happen to me and that he has my home address which he verified...I have taken our a police report and reported this to the local GBI for further investigation. This same man was calling me a few months back from a different number asking that I wire $700 to him. He could not give a mailing address or further information saying I owe him money I do not owe.

These people have been calling me on and off for 2 years.  Everytime I ask them to facts me information to verify who they are, they do not do it.  I have informed them that I do have a lawyer and that if they send me some information to prove that I owe them money, which I know I do not, I would be glad to pass the information to my attorney so that he can talk with them.  They never do, the calls will stop for a few months, then they call back again and act as if we never spoke before.

These people are nothing but scammers. This has been going on for ages, they switch phone numbers all the time. Read this:

They will tell you all kinds of BS about how they are recording your call for the Attorney General, they are going to arrest you, they are going to freeze your SSN and credit report, deny you government benefits. I have been told the sheriff will be at my office in 20 minutes to arrest me. They make all kinds of stuff up, none of it true. They are a scammer agency trying to collect money on debts that either do not exist or are past statute of limitations. I have filed complaints with every agency known to man including Interpol and the FBI and the bottom line is that nobody can do anything. just ignore these idiots but DO NOT PAY THEM. THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO YOU!!!!

I just got a call from that number from a man with an heavy accent calling himself "Andy Cooper".  He said I committed some illegal money transfer via email and warned me that he'd report me to the authorities if I didn't cooperate.  While I was listening to his diatribe, I looked up the 201 number on the intranet and saw the list of complaints.  So I repeated back to him some of the comments in the intranet complaints, and he started yelling about turning me over to the federal authorities, etc.  I started laughing, called him a few choice names, and hung up.  I've received similar calls before, but this one was the worst.

called my wife's cell phone and told her she would have to verify her identity and that were police were on the way to verify. My wife gave her name to the caller. They stated they were from the office of Patrick Williams. It's a scam but I am not sure what they are trying to acheive.

These nuts claim to have an office in jersey city. What loosers! They are offshore and don't know enough (or care) to know how many laws they're breaking. Hate to say it but change ur number.
Go after the origila PD loan company with the FTC, AG and police complaints for harassement. The "you're in very big trouble" is a standard threat they use. Tell the police they threatened you with physical violence and impersonate cops and say its the PDl co. At least the police might find the PD co who will tell the terrorists to get away from you! Just an idea I'm going to try!

This is the same guy who is now calling me from 772-409-6570.
"Officer John McCain or Chief Investigation Officer John Black"-calling from "United States Law Enforcement Office". (DO they NOT understand that impersonation of a Law Enforcement agent is a crime??)
Anyway, I guess he decided to leave NJ and move to sunny S. FL.....
Just more proof that these yahoos are scammers.  I have an article about these guys-they originate from India (I believe) and have somehow set up a way to make calls appear they are coming from US numbers.  Here is some info about it.

""Unfortunately, a scam related to payday lending has emerged in the past few months.  This is not merely lenders overcharging for their product.  Instead a series of companies is using information they obtained about payday loan customers to ROB people.

The Players:

In addition to making loans itself, Bahamas Marketing Group (5700 Broadmoor St., Mission, KS 66202-2402, 913-432-7444) controls the lending of approximately thirty-five other companies, known as the ?disciples.?  Bahamas provides completed loan applications or ?leads? to the disciples, who process the applications on software Bahamas controls.  The disciples fund the loans and collect the payments.  Eventually the loans go into default and the return code their ACH provider gives determines the next step.  In most cases, the loan is automatically returned to Bahamas for collection.  

At this point, ?i-Collect,? a division of Bahamas (Phone ? 866-856-1024; Fax ? 866-856-1041.) enters the picture.  I-Collect negotiates sales of the debts to third parties.  Some go to legitimate debt buyers that operate responsible businesses.  But the rest are sent to United Pay Services for collection.  On several occasions, i-Collects manager both admitted and demonstrated to me that even after a ?sale? she exercises control over whether and to what extent United Pay pursues a particular debt.

United Pay (4494 Southside Ave., Apt. 203, Jacksonville, FL 32216-5484; 904-565-1924 (among others), FEIN - 223443840) or ?TUPS? is the focal point of the collection process.  The company is owned by Piyush and Shreya Patel who use the Jacksonville address as their home address.  However, the collectors all work for a subcontracted call center in Ahderabad, India, call Innovations Infocom.   The call centers are connect through VOIP technology that (a) causes a U.S. phone number to appear in their victims? caller ID?s and (b) allows them to leave U.S. call-back numbers (including toll-free numbers) that automatically forward to India.  Payments made go to a Western Union account in Florida which we believe is controlled by the Patels.

How the Scam Works:

Originally, this was a straight, if obscenely unprofessional, collections effort regarding loans made by one or more of the following:

Access Processing
Antilles Ventures
Apollo Funding
Arrowhead Investments
Astro Lending
Bahamas Marketing Group
Bahamas Marketing Group (a/k/a Integrated and/or I-TJF) Crown Lending edollarsdirect (a/k/a MW Marketing) Electronic Payment Processing EME Marketing (a/k/a Dollars Direct) Fox Enterprises, Ltd.

Oasis Marketing Group
OSL Marketing (a/k/a CMG, FSM, SSM and/or DJR) Paragon Processing, LLC Platinum B Services Plaza Processing Power Funding Premier Processing Sagamore SGQ Processing SJM Marketing Summit Group Total Lending VC Funding Vince Enterprises

Callers would pretend to be federal agents, bank examiners and other powerful people and threaten immediate arrest unless the borrower immediately paid somewhere between 3 and 4 times the original loan amount.   Payments had to be made by Western Union Quick Collect to a location in Florida (presumably to be collected by the Patels).   Calls would be made 20 or more times per day to the same borrower, along with his/her employer, co-workers and references.  Profanity was commonplace and even physical threats unheard of.  Rarely would the caller identify which loan was in default.  

For the most part these collection efforts were unsuccessful.  Most people realize that the FBI does not collect $300 loans.  Even if they did, the educational requirements and oral assessments necessary for entry into the Bureau would have barred nearly all of the collectors involved in this scam from entry.  In fact, the collection effort continued only because that one person in twenty that fell for the scam paid so much more than was actually owed that it was worth it to Mr. Tucker, Ms. Kent and the Patels to keep it in play.

But the scam has mutated further.  By purchasing delinquent loans, United Pay and Innovations Infocom come into possession of the confidential information of tens of thousands of Americans.  Because these consumers ?owe? on at least one loan, collectors are able to convince borrowers they are in serious civil and criminal trouble over the delinquent account.  Collectors call and pretend to represent the ?Financial Crimes Investigation Unit? (though many still lapse and claim to be FBI agents and/or employees of the ?Ministry of Justice.?)   Although they occasionally identify the original lender, more often they claim the debt in question is from 2005 or earlier and that the lender was ?U.S. Federal Bank,? or "U.S. National Bank - neither of which exists.  Invariably, they claim ?an affidavit has been filed? and demand immediate payment of hundreds or even thousands of dollars to avoid arrest and imprisonment.  

In one recent variation of the scam, they claimed to be acting on behalf of a California attorney.  However, they refuse to give the name and the "Bar ID" number they will give does not correspond to any attorney listed with the California Board of Bar Examiners.  Even more ridiculous, the number they give for the "attorney" is one we KNOW connects to the Indian call center and they even answer it "U.S. National Bank" rather than as a law office.

But the worst is yet to come.  The person that gets scared and pays will be contacted again within weeks with more demands.  Why?  Because this is no longer about resolving debts.  It is about ?plucking a pigeon? to borrow an old-fashioned phrase.  Payment only encourages them to continue the scam.  At least one person we know of has been bilked of over $4000.  

In another case, we settled two loans for a customer with a legitimate collection agency ? only to see the settlement fail when these people called the client.  When she didn?t recognize the name ?U.S. Federal Bank? she asked if they meant the two loans she was scheduled to pay later that week.  Of course, the collector, said they were. He then kept calling her office until reaching her boss and telling him that ? as the owner of the computer she used to make her application ? he was legally responsible for the debt.  Incredibly, her boss accept this outrageous, highly illegal claim and threatened to fire our client.  In the end, the client sent these thieves nearly triple what she had legitimately settled her debts at and still owes the actual creditors!

What you should do:
1) If a caller cannot speak English properly, he or she is not an FBI or other law enforcement agent.  But pretending to be one is a serious crime.   Hang up and call the REAL police.  Feel free to share any and all of this information with the appropriate law enforcement agency.

2) There is no U.S. Federal Bank or U.S. National Bank, so you cannot owe money to these "institutions."  Threatening imprisonment to recover an unlawful debt is extortion.  This felony should be reported to the REAL police.

3) Unless you used someone else?s identity to obtain a payday loan on the internet, YOU CANNOT BE IMPRISONED FOR NOT PAYING ONE.  We do not have debtors prisons in America and the FBI has better things to do than act as a private collection agency.  Again, this is harassment and should be reported to the REAL police.

4) Making outlandish threats like these is automatically a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  While Bahamas management has tried to claim that iCollect is a debt broker, neither the FDCPA nor the Federal Trade Commission?s regulations recognize the distinction they wish to make.  Bahamas Marketing Group, iCollect and United Pay are all ?debt collectors.?  Consumer lawyers will take FDCPA cases on a contingency fee so you need not worry about having money to pay a lawyer.  If you are harassed ? SUE THEM!  If everyone did that, they would be out of business in a heartbeat.""

I myself have contacted an attorney for further handling.
Good Luck.
Caller Type: Collection Agency

I recently had a conversation with Officer McCain. I asked him if he was from India. He denied it and slipped that he was in Teaneck, NJ. I called the Township police over there but they didnt seem to be interested. Perhaps some call recipients in Bergen Co. or those with friends in Law enforcement out there can get to the bottom of this annoying extortion ring.

He tried calling me  back in january and i didnt fully listen to the VM so all i got was some lady, Emily Shelbre or something like that was in legal trouble so i called and left a message to whoever and said they had the wrong number and should really try to get hold of her cause i didnt want her in trouble you know. well i got a call today and actually listened this time. He said his name was JOHN MCCAIN! yeah right! so knew it was a scam right off the bat this time so i just deleted the message. he called again a few hours later and i yelled at him. and he kept saying "Im going to send police" blah blah more threats. so i kept yelling at him and my father in law took the phone and started talking. asing his badge number and where he was from and email and fax. well the guy hung up. so we called back and said " we can send you a billing statement that says this isnt who you think" just to get a fax or address out off him. he told us we would need to send in a hundred dollar statement few or something like that. He is one determed little man. but such an obvious scam artist. number was (201)478-7912

This and the other fake post use the British spelling "neighbourhood" - that's how they spell it in India too ... HMMMMM...

Thanks for that information "Officer McCain" we will use it wisely. Next time please dont forget the extra side of Won Ton Soup.

Just got a call from this number claiming that i was in trouble with the law. He claims i made a loan with a company called BMG or B N G. He has a strong indian accent. He threaten me that the sheriffs office was going to contact me. Get this, he advised if i wanted to solve this i can make a payment over the phone. This guy is crazy. So now i am worried that he has my information and he also mentioned my brother in laws name.

This Andy Cooper from United States Law Enforcement started calling me at work last week threatening I would go to prison unless I paid; this same JERK was Mike Williams from United National Legal Dept last November.  I filed a local police report and they got the calls to stop back then!  I guess this guy thinks that I am an idiot and would not recognize his terrible attempt at English and thought I would fall for his act this time!  I filed another report and the police were told that I owe to a Bahama Loan Company..Looked that up and it doesn't exist as far as I can tell. GET A REAL JOB D****EED!!!

This jack @$$ by the name of officer richard brown called and asked for somebody other than myself. I can't even understand him. I told him to take my number off his list just like I have asked him to do about 3 months ago. He wanted to play dumb with me like he didn't have record of my number. I was using foul language towards him and he said don't abuse him and to watch my language because I'm talking to an officer. I told him he is the officer of jokes and needs to get a clue and I will be filing harassment charges against him. He had the nerve to say that this is not harassment. I said 3 calls in 10 minutes is harassment and that he needed to learn what the word meant if he had any further questions. Before I hung up on him I told him that if he had anything further to say to me tell my attorney and no further communication was needed between the 2 of us. So far it has been 30 minutes and no call back from him.

Ronnie,
Who do you think you are fooling, at least try to get the words spelled correctly and put them in the correct context.  Terrorist CLOWNS.

Well Andy Cooper, I suppose you found our website complaining about you, and decided to have your brainless monkeys start posting that its true, well, let me tell you something you terrorist clowns - WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE WILL NOT BE PUT OFF BY YOUR SILLY SCAMS TO TRY TO TAKE OUR MONEY.  The gig is up dummy!  By the way, why don't you go ahead and tell us where you are hiding Osama B!!!!

You & these people are a JOKE!!! Get a "REAL" Job & stop harrassing people!!!

Officer McCain has called me 89 times and threatened the police for coming to get me. They are asking for a man named Daniel Hilburn who I have no idea who he is. I have filed complaints with my local sherrifs office and with the FTC I think it would help if everyone were to file with the FTC. Their number is 877-382-4357 does anyone have the address for this bogus law enforcement agency?

If he calls again, tell him you would like to talk but you are about out of minutes, and why is the milk in his fridge expired?

a man saying he is officer Patrick Willams from the U S Law Enforcement Agency has been calling me on and off for the past year. the past few months he has been calling a least once a week if not more and wants to find a friend of mine who put me down as a ref on a loan.he says that she has not paid it back and that i have to do so. i ask him to give me my personel info but he cant do so. he is getting more and more pushy and is saying that he is going to get a hold of the police in my area i told him to go ahead and do so that im not worried about it and to stop calling me! but he hasnt stoped! i looked up the number 2014787912 and have found a lot of info about this number!Today I got a voice mail saying I was in VERY BIG TROUBLE" interesting since I'm not even who he's looking for.he said he filled a report and to call him back with in 2 hrs cause he wanted to give me a case number. The man had a Heavy accent; did not speak english very coherently, As of March 31, the number is still live.  try several extensions, like 1041, 1040,1044 they all worked, and were answered in what sounded like a boiler room operation, with other guys in the background, badgering other callers. i just want him to stop calling and i dont think it right that i would have to change my number for him to do so!

clearly a gang of criminals.  Pretending to be with US Government, law enforcement, claim not to be collection agent; wanted payment by prepaid credit card or debit card or from a bank account. Refused to give address or even website.  Spoke of sending sheriff to arrest people.   Heavy accent; did not speak english very coherently, just poured out sentences with scary words in them like "arrest."  As of March 31, the number is still live.  try several extensions, like 1041, 1040, they all worked, and were answered in what sounded like a boiler room operation, with other guys in the background, badgering other callers.

Calls at least 3x a week saying a friend of my husbands (whom we haven't seen in 20 years) put him down as a guaranteer on a loan and that there is a legal case file against him. The guy calls himself John McCain. We have told him everytime we talk to him that we have no idea where the guy is and to quit calling us.

This scammer called us at work with the worst acent I have ever heard. Informed us that he was from a law enforcement agency and damanded to speak to one of our employees. We work for a Fed Agency and picked up that this was a scam. We just ignored him.
Hopefully he does not call back.
