Received phone call. Did not answer.

This guy is a scam artist. Speaks in a heavy Indian accent and says that you owe an online payday loan company money and that they will be coming to arrest you at your home or place of employment. Then says that your DL will be revoked and that you are going to lose your job.
I have called this guy back every day for the last week to see when these people are coming to arrest me since he said they would be here on the following Monday. He just hangs up after that question.
What disturbs me is that they have my full SS # and my address. I have filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and the FBI websites.
I know that the # is out of Washington State and the guy, Mike David, says that he is calling from Washington DC. I just want to know where he is exactly so I can go kick his a**.
Good luck and don't fall for his s**t.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim 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.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller?s instructions. Rather, you should:

Notify your banking institutions.
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.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

Never give your Social Security number?or personal information of any kind?over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

I got a call from them this weekend.  When I called them back they told me I was being arrested on Monday.  When I asked him to explain to my Attorney (boyfriend is an attorney) he hung up on him. They called on my work number.  Very wierd and scary.  Let me know if there is any way to stop these frauds.

Get any information you can - address, phone number, contact names, etc.  (I do this under the guise of "...in case we get disconnected.")  After you have the information, generate and mail (certified, return receipt) a Cease And Desist Letter; then file complaint with the FTC and your local law enforcement agency.  If they persist in demands for your information, just tell them that you prefer to see something in writing before you provide them with any information.

I just got a call from these people today and they knew my bank name, ss# address etc... Saying i owe for a patday loan, heavy accents , everything everyone is on here saying.. I dont know what to do..

DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY BANK INFO, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BY LAW GIVE YOU ANY INFORMATION YOU REQUEST,. I'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL CALL FROM THESE PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE FORM CYBER CRIMES. NOT TRUE, YOU SHOULD REPORT THEM TO YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL AND  MAKE A POLICE REPORT, THAT THEY ARE TREATING YOU AND PRETENDING TO BE AN OFFICER OF THE LAW.  THEY ARE FRAUDS...........  SAME ACCENTS AND KEEP LEAVING DIFFERENT NUMBERS. ALOS CHECK YOUR CREDIT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT TRING TO USE ANYTHING IN YOUR NAME... BE CAREFUL.....

OMG! This people have been calling me for 3wks, telling me that i am going to get arrested for fraud due to a payday loan, that my SSN is going to be "blacklisted" and I will lose my driving privledges.  The number is 206.309.2340----They all have heavy accents, very hard to understand and they say they are the LAW?? What??? but they will not send any documentation via email, they are req my routing and acct# to send the info too.  .  They address themselves as "officer" so and so, all names are very common, Brown, Smith, etc. . . What is this?????

Called me, from a non working number on caller id, caller had a heavy accent.  Said they were Officer something, with Dept of [garbled] cybercrimes division and they received some sort of complaint and left this number  as a callback.  I'm very suspicious
