These people are harassing me Officer Zack Freeman. I just called him back and told him that he isn't an officer and he hung up on me. He keeps calling saying that he is going to send officer to arrest me. So pack my bags. He is an idiot. He wants my debit card info. I just called him back. These people are crazy. He hung up on me agian. I am getting a lawyer.

I got a call today from 2064515071 and he said he was a shariff to claim money from a loan i did. He kept telling me he was going to put me in jail if i didn't pay today. I told him i already had it took in care of,then hung up on him. He called back and said he was going to have me arrested today and then he went on saying i was going to die.

These people call constantly from somewhere in asia. They claim to be with "the federal government department of law and investigation" obviously a scam of some sort.I have reported them, several times, but get told that they are outside the jurisdiction of the US so not alot can happen.  So have fun with it. They claim to be someone by the name of Ronnie, or Randy, or John, and have a very thick accent and very little grasp of the English language. So tell them they have mispronounced your name and its actually pronounced Apu, or Habib, or something to that effect. Ask them for what department of the govt they work for and tell them you know them, you work in the same dept, and where is the $20 you loaned them last week? Have a friend or your spouse, or your teenager, or a guy on the street, be your "lawyer" and quote fake laws to them (they do it so why not you?). Tell them you know where the govt is hiding the aliens and thats the real reason they called, then start talking in pig latin. They get bored after a minute, tell you to go do something either physically impossible to yourself, or your mother, and hang up.  Of course, I have no life, so I call back and claim to get disconnected. they stop calling after about 10 calls from me. Its just fun for the whole family!

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden ? Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
?    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
?    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
?    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
?    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

got a call from an Officier James Austin from Financial Crimes...calling from 0000 so I didnt answer the call let it go to voice...they called my home and work leaving messages...I didnt call back the # 206 451 5071 that they asked me to call back at...they left a very threatening message in an Indian accent...I could hear like he was calling from a call center or something due to the background noise...glad i didnt pickup or return their calls after reading the above...how can we stop these ppl???  It's harrassement and false business practices especially when calling our employers for no valid reason...a court judgement would have to have been rendered...where's the documentation?

These are Pakistani scam artists, or so they think. There is no branch of Gov't with their name. This Mike Edwards is a fool. They already have my phone number, so I make it a point to call them everyday for the last two weeks to let them know what I think of Pakistan. They get fired up and make threats, say Bin Laden is coming to get me, etc. They really like it when you call them and ask if they were in "Slum Dog Millionaire". Total group of dumbasses. Sad thing is when innocent folks get worried about these goons. Follow the sage advice from the above poster and call the FTC, and local authorities. All of the numbers they tell you to call are from the Seattle area, and are linked to Pakistani phone lines.

Don't sweat these farksticks at all. Just tell them to come get you, no one shows up.

some guy called with a foreign accent, said his name was officer mike edwards, when the phone rang the number showed up as 0000, i never picked up and he left a message to dial the 206 number back and as soon as i get the msg, and said he was calling from the federal crime investiation.... I know i don't owe anyone anything, and i'm far from any type of crime! These people need to be dealt with for calling trying to run scams on people! Im glad i didnt waste my time answering this jack***!

Individual call and stated they needed to speak with an employee of our company. Individual was informed that the person worked in an area that could not received direct calls from outside the plant. The individuals stated that he knew the employee was here and wanted to speak with them. At this time the individual became very belligerent and disprespectful. The individual continued to call our operator for the next three hours over 51 phone call received.

From Lamet's post:

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 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 ?spoofed? 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 fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as ?We?re filing an affidavit against you? or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against 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 again 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.

Caller w/ a foreign accent called my cell phone and work phone, posed as an officer from the Federal Crimes and Investigation Department (there isn't such a thing) and said I defaulted on a loan with a company called Fast Cash, who was pressing criminal charges. I've never even heard of the company. But they would settle with me outside of court for 10% if I gave him my bank account information right then and there. It was not convincing. When I asked for written confirmation he became very rude and insulting and hung up the phone on me.

These people are idiots trying to get you to send them money and say its for fraud a some stupid claim against you.
#1. If you didn't recieve a judgment by mail - There is no legal ground
#2. Don't give them any information.
#3. Always ask for their information (boy does it piss them off I was called a f--ing b-----d today I laughed in his face)

Office Mike Walker has been calling and leaving me message for the past two weeks about fraud on loans. He told me I was required to pay money ASAP or legal actions would be taken against me! I dont understand why he is calling me nor have I made any loans! WHO IS THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!
