They call me at least three times a month. I can't understand a thing any of them are saying. I've told them to contact my bankruptcy attorney and they don't. They say things like, may God protect you, have mercy on you, etc. It's weird and it's freaking me out.

I work for the Federal Government and I received a call from First State Attorneys office as well.  Told them I have no idea what they are talking about and assumed they have the wrong person but they read off the last four of my SS number which really freaked me out!  Tried to do a reverse look up on the phone number which is 209-580-6062 and it came up unpublished but eventually brought me to this site.  After reading this I called them over and over and hung up, pushed buttons on my phone to be annoying,  and finally some foreign guy answered and said he could not believe I am doing this, then started to answer the phone "hello" which you know would not be allowed at any reputable business.  Said they wish me luck because there are bad things to come to me for not taking care of my debts.  Creepy to say the least.

I recevied a call from First States Attorneys office stating that officers were coming to my job to arrest me on charges of fraud. They call my job back to back everyday my supervisor had to get on the phone to ask them not to call back

I keep getting calls from this office -a Michael Carter like many other are getting. He almost had me and I was ready to send the money. I don't have any outstanding loans and definitely never received anything from Cashadvance.com. I will report this to the authorities. The number they are calling from is 209-580-6062. He asking for $548.20 today. Stated charges for 3 accounts. One being check fraud and I would receive papers at my home and job. I am glad I went on line to look up this First State Attorney office. They said I need to fax a letter stating I wanted to settle the debt and that I needed to pay with a credit card today. First he said all of it today, then he check with someone and said if I paid $200 down and remaining balance over time, then and only then will I learn who the parent company was that was filing this suite and a receipt showing I paid it. But he couldn't tell me who was filing (what payday loan company) until I paid the debt. This just didn't sound right, as a consumer we have the right to know, who we are paying right and what company their representing.?

I am doing the same as you and then the next thing I know the number is no longer available, but they call from a different number the next time.

I received a call from this number saying they are a law office. I went off on them and they started cussing me. They keep changing there number also.

I was getting harassing calls from 209-580-6062. I called a collection agency I was dealing with they told me that these people get the information from collection agencies. They look at what is being collected on and make up bogus criminal charges to scare you into giving them money. They called called themselves "Federal Legislation department of justice". Most calls have Indian accents or middle eastern. I called the Attorney General in Utah and reported them. T-mobile blocked their number from my cell phone. The attorney general confirmed that they were definitely a scam group. Luckily they only have my direct extension to my work so I just let it go to v-mail. Ask for the case number and the jurisdiction in what court the case was filed challenge them with everything you have. Eventually they figure out you are on to them and delete your number.

I received the call from these idiots.  They couldn't even tell me what address they were sending the court notice to.  The best way to stop the calls is to engage them in a hostile conversation, and keep calling their office incessantly for the next hour, then repeat the next day.  It is obvious to me that this is a scam because they are quick to curse at you and hang up.  They are very emotional, and succeptible to any type of pressure.  Just ask them to verify your info...  Try not to laugh. I am personally going to commit to calling them everyday for the next month or two.

I feel that civil legal action should be taken for poisoning your husbands workplace especially being scammed by these people.  I have never done business with cashadvance.com and they said I took out an e-loan which I can prove through my bank I didn't make and by the way cashadvance.com doesn;t leave a phone number on their website.  Maybe they are both a scam.

I got a call from these people too.  I got one call from 209-580-6062 at home, work, & on my cellphone.  I got a call from 646-918-8890 at my work number.  Both calls claim I recieved a payday loan in my checking account in the amount of 300.00.  I spoke to several different people.  These scammers are GOOD in that they could possibly fool people in too paying these fees. Both numbers are supposedly sending me a copy of the lawsuit that's been filed against me because of the unpaid debt.  They were VERY rude.  When talking to one of the people from the 209 number and disputing the debt he replied "whatever" when I repeatedly requested verification of the loan.  After I continued talking over him, requesting the verification be sent to me he yelled "f*** you" and hung up on me.  They must have caller id because I kept calling back and they kept hanging up the line.  By the 7th time of me calling someone picked up and asked why I keep calling because they are just going to file the lawsuit and press charges against me for fraud.  They named 3 different charges.  I asked to speak to a supervisor.  I got hung up again SO I kept calling (lol).  I think I was pissing him off.  When I called back again he whistled and hummed in the phone for atleast a full minute SO I continued to ask for a supervisor or manager of whatever lead attorney was supposed to be handling the case. I could hear other folks in the background swindling other folks.  They've got a smooth set up.  I informed them of my right to request verification of the debt in writing and told them not to call my house or job again.  Any further communication was to be done in writing.  I dont know how they got my information, but they have it.  He wanted to verify my address and got mad b/c I wouldn't give it to him.  I told him you apparently have my info so send it to whatever is on your records and file.  This was just the call placed at my home.  The call place at my job was just as eventful!

THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL SCAM I WORK FOR A ATTORNEY AND N DEBT COLLECTIONS THEY TRY TO SCARE YOU TO PAY WILL NOT GIVE OR FAX ANY INFO ON THEIR SO CALLED COMPANY I HAVE A V.M SAVED AND REALLY NOTHING U CAN DO.. I RECENTLY GOT MY CREDIT REPORT AND I BELIVE THIS IS WHERE THEY GOT MY # AND INFO

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):
1.    The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2.    Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.
3.    File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4.    File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.wvago.gov
5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

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.

i just got a call from this number too and i got scared.  I didn't want to have to go to court or have a letter sent to my home or work.  They called me at work and left a message with my co-worker with someone name Marvin Morris.  I called back and never got a hold of this person because he was in court, but I talked to a guy name Michael Carter and he said cash advance wired me a loan for $300 and tried to get it back, but couldn't so now I'm being charged for check fraud and theft.  I got scared and did what he told me and paid $548 for the $300 plus interest.  Then I called my bank and they told me that I never had anything wired in for $300 anytime from Jan of 2010 to Jun 2010.  That guy Michael Carter told me that I can faxed him my bank statements to prove myself and I will get my money back.  What should I do?  He also said that he's from First State Attorney's Office in Los Angeles of California.  He gave me a fax number of (206) 309-4893.

I received call from this # stating that I was being charged in with 3 counts of fraud and they needed my attorney information; each time I return the call they would give out a different name for company-- I never had money transferred into my account from anytime of cash advance which is what I am being charged with. They knew a lot of personal information. It is very freaky!

I had a voicemail from a man wanting my lawyer information as I was being investigated for fraud. He said if I did not return the call, he wished me the best of luck on whatever happens. I called him back at 209-580-6062, he indicated his name was Jason O'Conner from the Law Office of James Parker in California which works for Cash Advance and the U.S. government and in 2 days I will
be getting information on my court case because a local Sheriff office will go to my job or home. He says I am being charged with 3 counts of fraud because I had 3 payday loans in 2009 and 1 was still unpaid in the balance of $1,245.75. He claimed Cash Advance attempted to remove the money from my bank account in January 2010 and was unable to do so. He continued to say that my SS # would be blacked out for more that two years and I would lose my job and not be able to apply for any credit cards, loans, employment, etc because of this. What really scared me was that he had ALL my personal information! He told me my full social security #, bank name and information, and even names of personal references I have used in previous loans (which he said would also be affected by this and charged with the same counts)...

Last, he said if I wanted he would try and talk to the head attorney to see if my charges would be dismissed if I were to pay the entire amount of $1,245.75 over the phone right then and there. At that instant I hung up the phone...

This is ALL A LIE because I was not even working in 2009 and DID NOT take out any loans.

I will be calling my local Sherriff's Dept and FBI.

Thanks!

209-580-6062 called me, Jake, saying he wanted my lawyer information as I was being investigated for fraud. He said if I did not return the call He wished me the best of luck on whatever happens.

I recieved a message from the number 209-580-6062 telling me to call them ASAP the man had a heavy accent and I couldnt really understand him. He threaten me  on the message saying "I feel bad for you and your lawyer"  I called the number back and a operator said the extension could be reach right now.

I got a call from RAY CARTOR AND ASSOCIATES from 209-580-6062 today. The alleged attorney does not know when i took a 300 dollar loan out but said I did anyway and now I owe $5,000. He claims his law firm cannot be googled and works for Cash Advance and the U.S. government and in 2 days I will
be getting information on my court case. He says i am being charged with 3 counts of fraud.

These scammers are using this number too.  They have been calling my husband's cell phone and employer.  I have reported them to the police, the FBI, the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General but there seems to be no way to stop their nagging calls.... If someone knows of any, please share it!
