Don't give them any your personal info!

I got a call from a "David Jones" with US Fast Cash claiming that I could pay the legal fees of 5000 or just send them $600 by tomorrow. They all had Indian accents and sounded legit, but his story definitely didn't add up.

I had the same thing happen to me from an Officer Scott Mason who claims I owe money and if I go to court will have the pay 9200.00. He calls my work , my cell and is harassing. Beware,,,

I got the same calls and, they said their from the FBI, Debt collections you name it they want to scare you. Two month ago I changed my bank account so I do not have any more money electronicly taken out they are just losers and need a life. GET A REAL JOB SCAMERS!!!!!.

I received a call from "Lee Chang" with a very thick Indian accent. Claimed I owed them $300 from a loan that was deposited into my account on March 9, 2010. I argued wiht him and he told me to call a "Ricky Williams @ 707-501-9614". Both of these guys represent "us cash advance". Seems they are working this scam together. When I told him I never had that loan he asked for me to send my bank statement showing the loan was never deposited. I told him "do you think I am that stupid". I ask him the name of the company he works for and he gave me a couple:

Federal Bureau of Crime Prevention
Crime Prevention Division

I asked Lee for the main number to us cash advance and he did not have it, told me to ask Ricky. I asked Ricky and he did not have it.

I then told both of them that the only US Cash Advance on the website is in KY and they have a warning on their website about this scam. They said it was "another" us cash advance they represent.


Also - they have another person involved by the name of Scott Mason and he called me from a 646-558-2014. When you call the number you get a message stating "All circuits are busy. This guy told me he was "Officer Scott Mason" and I have a lawsuit against me and I better pay it or I will be arrested.

We recieved a call from 360-305-3227 saying they were Google.  They just asked for information like address, phone, website, and if our Google map position was correct.  It was odd enough for us to Google the number and found this.  This the same scam or something else?  Should we be contacting someone?

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.
