do u have a phone number to call?

I receive a call from someone that I can't really understand his name due to a very thick accent and threatens me with being arrested and such and does end his call by saying "I wish you luck."  I could not figure out what he was trying to say except about my lawyer calling in my behalf.  Thank goodness I found this thread of information on this person/company.  Also, a man named Jemes Harrris, phone number 865-293-4363, called me and told me that he was with the The Department of Crime Prevention and i had a warrent pending for an outstanding loan that he stated was "Natoinal Assistant Funds" and I can't find it any where on any websites using Google and Yahoo.  He threatend me stateing that if I did not pay they were comeing with pretty silver bracelets at my work.  Does anyone know this company and the man?  I did give my info for payments because he really sounded legal and stated that the police would be at my work, even gave me a case number.  I am and was really scared.  Please help me find out about this one.

I just got the same call today. They had all of my information.

I got this same call like everyone else who is reporting this.  I did get an attorney and told them to call my attorney with information they had about whatever they are suing me for.  
They said it was for a debt I never heard of!

FRAUD all over

This is a great forum for sharing "phone spam"... Did I just coin that phrase?
Thank you all for taking the time to post these reports. I hope someone can stop this.

This is one of those scams where they call you and advise you that you have a legal case pending against you.  The guys name was Martin and you could barely understand what he was saying because of his heavy accent.  He said the papers would be sent to my home, work and bank.  I have no such legal case pending against me so beware of these calls.

Paul Martin left an unintelligable message for me today saying I need to call him back regarding a legal lissue. I tried to call him but no one was there.

I keep getting calls from an Indian lady saying I need to get an attorney..I don't know who this is and she will not give me any additional  info..can anyone help please?

I just got the call today, i could not understand him at all... He was saying that i had a law suite against me for 5484 dollars. He had all of my information except that of my credit cards. He said he would transfer me to some other guy and it was the same guy. Dont buy into this. GL

This has happened to me as well.  I finally contacted a lawyer friend.  Everyone...THIS IS A SCAM!!!  They can't hurt you.  Yes they can harass you, but just hang up on them.  They will eventually leave you alone.  These are the Indian fellows that have called me.  Robert Taylor, John Smith, Kathy Smith, Robert johnson, etc.   please, are you serious?  My lawyer said there is no company to go after, best thing to do is say, I know this is a scam, and hang up!  I did call them back and harass them one time, and they hung up on me!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you. The more ludicrous a debt collection call seems - the more likely that it may be fraud or a scam.


A few of our clients have received calls from companies, such as The Department of Crime Prevention, U.S. National Bank, Affidavit Collection Services (ACS), Federal Investigation Bureau and United Legal Processing, who claim to be collecting payment on behalf of their lenders.  Many of these fraudulent companies acquire personal information through the internet and use fear based tactics and false threats to force people to pay them.  It is important to know that you cannot be arrested or taken to jail for not paying your payday loans.

Some of the clues to know that these calls are not legit are as follows:
The call comes from untraceable phone numbers (000 for example)
Refuse to provide pertinent information about their company.

Refuse to provide a statement confirming your loan or information about the loan.
The Loan is probably one you don't ever remember getting.
The representatives speak with very foreign accents.
The representatives speak very broken English and sound like they are reading a script.
They threaten "Legal" prosecution and "Arrest"... also make similar threats to family and friends.
They typically end the call with a "Good luck" or "I wish you well"

They will call obsessively and well beyond the point of harassment at your home or your work.

Nothing that they say is true.  They will claim that you will go to jail, that they will come to arrest you at your work or your home, and other such viscious nonsense if you do not pay them money by a certain time.  If what they say seems really outrageous and exceptionally scary - chances are they are the scam company.  A lot of times you'll hear the foreign accent with a very "normal" name like John Smith or Michael Jordan and there will be many voices in the background like they are calling from a call center.

Under no circumstances should you provide these companies with your payment information.

If you are suspicious about a call you receive do not hesitate to request the companies information and a statement confirming your loan.  All companies running a legitimate operation will not hesitate to provide you with their information and a statement confirming your loan.

You may be asking what we can do to stop these calls.  Unfortunately, the answer is basically nothing.  We have called these numbers many times for our clients and it has not stopped the calls. They are just trying to steal money from you and they will not stop until they get you to give in.

The best advice that I can give you regarding that is you talk to the person on the phone and just tell them that you know they are a fraud company, they will not get any money from you, that you are recording this conversation and will use anything that they say against them so they might as well stop calling you.  This has been going on for months and the callers are calling from India - there is nothing that the FBI can even do to stop it.  What I've discovered from talking to clients who interact with these people is that, if they know they are getting to you, they'll continue to call you.  Most clients who speak calmly to them and just tell them that they won't be giving them any money have had the calls decrease or stop completely.

Below are some articles related to these scams. This is especially helpful to share with your supervisors at work if these calls begin to happen on the job.

stopm calling my damn number this is a private home, that means donot call this  is a private number unless u know this person

I got 3 calls from this # today. Same thing - thick, foreign accent using an american name.  I checked with my niece because she is an attorney for the state we live in.  She said this is a scam & is already being investigated by the PA Attorney General's office. She told me the next time he called to tell him I know it is a scam & not to call back.  They did call back this afternoon & I told him that I had spoken with  her & that I was filing a complaint with the attorney general's office & he hung up on me.  He hasnt called back & I hope he doesnt, but I am still filing the complaint. She said the more complaints to your state's attorney general's office, the better the chances of catching them.  She also said to notify your banks so they can put a watch on your accounts.  Hope this helps.

This number left a message on my office phone. I was instructed to return the call myself or via an attorney. The guy was foreign and used the name Marvin. I am a subscriber to Life Lock so I called them and upgraded to the premium internet protection as they stated that my information was shared through a marketing site. I do currently have a loan out with Plain Green Loans and prior to that I had a loan through Think Cash, but think cash went out of business and transferred my info to Plain Green. This is how my info was stolen. I called Plain Green and they said I was not the first caller today. Updating my Life Lock membership for the internet monitoring and protection was all I can think of doing at this time since the phone number is an outgoing line only and the message was just in regards to returning the call. The number is a northern California number, but aside from a false name and a request to return a call I am not sure there is much more I can do at this point. Your info was obtained from an online form though and most likely a loan (payday) app so yes, they do have all of your info including mine... There is a complaint dept for internet crimes on the FBI's web site and the Federal Trade Commission's site as well because local authorities do not deal with crimes of this sort, but you can have a police report filed for your records.

I get the same calls from this guy.  Except i like f***ing with him so i try to keep him on the phone as long as possible.  I like to aggravate him when he tells me whatever fake name he uses, i laugh and say come on man really your name is "Habeb."  Then right when i can tell he knows im on to him and he is about to hang up i tell him that the phone call has been recorded and traced and that the FTC and the FBI will be incontact with him.  Then he usually gets all pissed off, sometimes he even cusses at me which is even more fun.  I always make sure to ask him if he is even has a green card or if he just a boarder jumper.  It usually takes him a few months to get the courage to call me back, but he always does.

i have been receiving the same damn messages for over a month from 2094422612 some guy that speaks like he is from India or maybe he has a speach impairment i dont know but i added that number to my Reject List on my cell phone.  Then he calls again back to back within minutes of the phone call i really wish it was something that can be done because this is harassment the next time he call i will proably tell him to find my foot up his a** if he dont stop hell i have not gotten a payday loan and they had my damn SSN# that was the scariest part about it. I contacted my bank and they said not to give out any information and next time they call to tell them that we can take them to court and have proof that i didnt get any money from the so called company.

Same number has been calling me for weeks..I don't answer..they finally left me a message saying I need to contact a lawyer that I'm being suit..there is some really brave people probably in India trying to scam us here in the US...so beware guys..

i just received the same phone call they keep calling in calling in they have my social security number in keep telling me i owe them money from a loan i check my bank account in there no money or information stated that no money was wired in to my account where them people come from

i have also recieved many of these calls i have hung up an they just call right back my daughter told me that it more then likely was a scam. the man that called me name was robert he had a very heavy indain accent he told me not to interupt him while he read the affadavid. I then put my daughter on the phone an she got rude right back an told the guy that we had all the proof we needed that there was no money ever put in the account an hung up they called back she told then good luck with suing me an told them if they called the phone again she would have them for harrasment an they havent called back yet...

Just got a call from sam something( couldn't make out his heavy Indian accent for the last name) as I have received several calls from other numbers all with Indian accents and all using the exact same script that I need to return the call the very second I receive it and if they do not hear from me or my attorney they can only wish me luck as the situation unfolds on me. Other names used that have called are Nancy Smith from310-359-0424, Jack Thomas, Kevin Black.  They call many times a day,plus have started calling my job.  These people need to be stopped!!  They claim they are from American Law Division... think I''ll  give the Attorney General a call..

hey guys i just received the same harassing message from a guy named curt novak on my voice mail, after i spoke to some crazy Indian accent guy by the name of samuel grey and a marcus smith over the phone telling me too about a pay day loan i never took out. And the number that called me was 347-332-2431 but told me to call back that 209 number. the funny thing was he had my social security number and an account number that had never had any transactions since opening it and he threatened me also with police coming to my door if i didn't call back to resolve this issue of debt that was never incurred.and how to settle this out of court by making a payment today of almost a thousand dollars. As crazy as it sounds i wish i knew were i could find him so i can put this guy away in a place that doesn't sound nice being in. what can we do?

I really feel some kind of way about this harrasment and i feel we all need to get together and file charges cause this is bull s*** as hard as x's r i dont have money for noone and im tired of these fake ppl calling me

I just got a call from this number trying to contact my girlfriends deceased father. The same speech all of you got, to the sound of it. Saying he'd better return the call or have his attorney call or "all I can say is good luck to you on whatever unfolds". Heavy Indian accent. This time his name was Mark White lol.

I just received a call from this number (209-442-2612) name Robert Thompson. This person threatens to attack my bank account, job and social security. I have never heard of anyone suing you and when no notice was ever sent to your house concerning this matter. Who can we report this matter to because I have received a call from this person in the pass and now this person is back?

Received this call on my answering machine at work. Person has a heavy Indian accent claimimg to be from "American Law Division" with a claim against me.  Threatened with being arrested etc. for fraud. Received another call on 4/11/2011-same person. When asked questions he could not answer.  Reading from script.  When told that he was a fraud and that I had received calls like this in the past he became agitated and hung up.  The name given was Gary Jones.

I received 3 calls from an unknown number and each time leaving the same 209-442-2612 number his name was Jack Marshall (is that an Indian name) and that if I didn't call back or they didn't hear from my attorney then they wish me good luck. He told me the same thing and when I called back they told me I was a suspect. I abide by all laws so I knew that was a lie. Then told me I had a payday loan that was outstanding, which I too knew was a lie. They told me that their client is paying thousands of dollars for them and they don't have time for games. That's when I hung up.

I received a call 3 times today two of them were from log number of 52946605, the other call was from unknown number. which came back to back.  From the first call they left a message.  I just finally listen to it and it was from someone with a Indian accent,  just like the others and he was tellin me "that I better contact my attorney if i got one this is a time sensative matter that I need to handle, i cant not ignore, and if I do, i would have to deal with whatever falls."   The name he left was Robert Thomas  then he left that number 209 442-2612.  I didnt call it back.  just found out the number was from California.  So anyways thanks for all your post.  Next time I will answer the phone and cuss his a** out in a indian accent.  In fact I think I will call him block my number and harrass the hell out of him.

I got the same call this morning at my work - I do have a payday loan, but it is being paid on time and correctly... so I'm not sure what he is all about - he said his name was Brian Martin... same heavy Indian accent guy! Not calling him back!!!

Got the same call at 8:55 a.m. at work - didn't give me his name just the name of the "attorney in charge" Scott Nicholson - couldn't give me any info as to why he was calling.
