This is a fraud harrasing call. This company has been reported to the attorney general in CA and NY.

This person calling himself James connor called said I owed them $4000.00 and if I did not pay today they were going to send the cops to my jopb and arrest me. I laughed as this is not the first time they call they call all the time from different phone numbers IT IS A SCAM DO NOT PAY THEM NOTHING tell them that you are reporting them to the attorney generals office, FBI, FTC and hang up on them this person called me 5 times at my job and the last 3 times all he was doing was calling me a B----, and telling me to suck his C---k What kind of stupid people are these they need to go back to their home land and stop harrasing people....

These people called me said they were the Oakview Law Group located at 332 Fremont Street Stockton City, CA 95323 telephone number 209-623-4683 saying a law suit had been filed against me and that the cops would show up at my place of employment.  I told them to stop calling me.  It showed up on caller id as 101324???? They also call me on my cell phone from that same number.  I am contacting the local autorities, and anyone else I can think of to report these people.

fraud harrising phone calls from this number

Those were the same numbers I received, But his name was James Connor. Go to the website, www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov. There are a lot of people filing with them

I would like information regarding how to sue this harrassing caller and what stepsI cn take to prevent him from harrassing me on my job and main phone line. He goes by the name of Sam Connor at area code 510-972-4922. Also another number that he directed me to was 209-623-4683. Stating that I took a payday loan online and did not pay it back. Company name that he said I owed was QuickCash.Net. As I proceeded to ask for the number for this place , he said he didn't have that information and that te FDCC had it and would take further action that could result in being arrested for fraud check writing and loss of my job. Please Help!

I received a phone call from this number saying that I owe a loan from 12/09 from this internet payday service. He had the voice of a middleeastern man claiming to take me to court and that he would contact my job and I would not be able to work anywhere else nor would i continue to be working at my current job. He was very aggressive and intimidating to the point that i end up calling my back to research my acct. Unfortunately he rpeated my peronal infromation back to me including my routing and account number. I now have to close my banking account and a follow up on my personal contact information. I felt very pset and my blood pressure rising to the point to where I couldn't hardly breathe.

Received a call from this number from a male sounding voice claiming to be "Kevin Marsh" stated Do not disregard this  message. It is very important to return the call or a call from routine lawyer. If I do not return the call I can only wish you the best of luck. I know without a shadow of doubt that I do not owe anyone especially a payday loan.

He's telling you its a scam - WHY ON EARTH would you respond like this?

ITS A SCAM - PLAIN AND SIMPLE

Ok So I got a call from this "company" yesterday 10/25/2010 @ work they left me a voicemail message a guy by the name of James Connor and in his message he did say what everyone is posting at the end of the call all he could do is wish me good luck as the situation unfolds on me and god bless me. Well I called him yesterday from my work phone and @ 1st the phone just kept ringing and ringing and there was nothing well then I got a call back like seconds after that happened and it happened to be another guy by the name of Steve I asked to Speak To James and he advise me that James wasnt there I told him that if they would like to contact me to send me a letter in the mail and since they are claiming to know who I am they should have my address on file and that they arent allowed to call me at work and at the end I let him know that I looked up the number online and that poeple are reporting that this is a scam as soon as I said that he hung up. Well today 10/26/2010 while I was at lunch they called again samething happened when I called James Connor back but this time the person who called me back right away was James Connor I told James that he needed to stop with the phone calls and that I did have a word with Steve and told Steve that he would need to send me a certified letter and that I am going to report any more calls I get at work. He didnt let me finish and he hung up on me so I called them back and asked to have a word with James Connor ( I personally dont think that is away you should ask to speak to someone if anyone has notice they are rude and are like I want to have a word with *******) Well now at this time James was unable to come to the phone so I asked the guy why are you harrasing me at work and that they need to stop and why arent you sending me anything in the mail and he was like huh the mail I was like yes that is what people do here in America and he had let me know that they are located in California now I am not stupid all of them sound like they are from India I asked him dont you have one america person who speaks clear english he advise me that they are all spanish now I speak spanish as well and they are from India I am hoping this is the last of them calling me at work but he wouldnt give me the name of his company but told me that if I didnt believe him I am welcome to come visit him face to face at his job. Until I get something in the mail I will believe this is a real company other then that they can all kiss my booty!! Have a great day people!!!

I was called on 10-23-10 by a person claiming that I had a lawsuit filed against me by Quickcash.  I was told that if I did not make payment today I would be taken to court.  I do have an account with Quickcash. I made a payment but then didn't feel right about the call so called the Quickcash office and they told that they had not authorized this. I then called the person back and told them that I was not authorizing payment and that if they did my bank would prosecute.  He quickly told me that they would not process my card and that I did not need to call my bank which I will do anyway. I told them I knew it was a scam and that I was going to report them. He said again that they would not and hung up. If they try to process, I will contact you again.

That just shows that you are not a responsible individual and cannot keep track of your debts! If they gave you documentation then why cant they provide Official Documentation for Everyone. and why is it not filed in count  Court??? You work for them too..HUH...

Yeah Right!!! You probably work for them.

Your working for the other guy, These are scam artist, the thing is the picture is not clear for me.  I have reported these forks, and apparently so has a lot others.  The FTC knows about them and so does the Attorney's Generals Officer.  They know all about this scam so if you really did give these people money that's your problem and business.  But stop trying to coach others to do the same.

Your working for them.  These guys are fakes and your trying to get something out the deal for them and yourself.  Shut up.

Received two threatening calls on cell phone stating name is Shawn Smith legal case filed on me.  Could barely speak english, lots of noise in background.  Stated he was from Legal Firm time sensitive matter in which he needed to speak to my attorney of record and if didn't hear from me he could only wish me good luck as the case unfolds on me.  BOGUS.

*YAWN*

EVEN I RECEIVED A CALL FROM LEONARD ANTHONY HE TOLD ME TO PAY LOAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ,I PAID HIM AFTER 3 DAYS ON 400$ AND I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS  AND IT WAS TRUE THAT I WAS HOLDING A LOAN

the company is not fake they are realy helpful for customer they helping out to the custome.
if u r having problem to pay ur padloan then contact on this number....

For at least the last four years, possibly longer, a group has been calling former payday loan applicants advising them that they have defrauded a bank and are now being sued for non-payment of a loan.  The callers will claim to be calling on behalf of an attorney's office (name varies), the Dept. of Law and Investigation, ACS, or other similar combinations below:

United Legal Processing Division
Midline Marketing
Crime Monitoring Services
Monetary Crime Division
U.S. National Bank
Attorney General?s Office (usually in California)
American Legal Services
Affidavit Consolidation Services (ACS)

You will be threatened with arrest, a costly trial and possibly worse.  In no shape, way or form can you be arrested for non-payment on a consumer debt.  Do not believe these threats, as they are without merit and cannot be carried out in the manner they allege.  

Who are they?

In the past when pressed by law enforcement for an address, the callers have provided the following information:

David Morgan and Associates
Morgan & Associates
Morgan Associates
954-727-8481
1155 Northwest 85th Street
Wintergarden, Florida  33150
(Address is likely invalid)

The collector's MO matches a once legit collections agency called Ellis Crosby & Associates.  Here are some links on them:

http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/ellis_crosby_and_associates.htm
http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/EllisCrosbyJudgment.pdf

They have been previously fined over $1.3 million for various violations.  They have been known to use phone banks in India to make their calls, which more or less coincides with the difficult to understand accent many of us detect when we are contacted.  

The last time this group went by any "official" name was back in 2008:

Ellis Crosby & Associates / Douglas & Morgan Associates
4494 Southside Boulevard Suite #200
Jacksonville Florida 32216
Phone:  800-928-3536 / (904) 928-3536
(Address is likely invalid)

There are NUMEROUS consumer alerts out against this group of individuals:

Florida:
http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/061107/met_176207561.shtml

Kansas:

Rhode Island:  
http://www.collectionscreditrisk.com/news/rho ... -3002135-1.html

West Virginia:
http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm

Missouri:
On July 15th, 2010 a Public Awareness Bulletin was sent out by Missouri Information Analysis Center.  

"..received reports from individuals in Ohio and Illinois reference suspicious telephone calls they received. In both instances, the callers are reporting that a voicemail is received from a man, with a Middle Eastern accent, identifying himself as an officer working with the Financial Crimes Unit.  The message indicates that the reason for the call concerns a loan made by the receiver or someone in the receiver's family. The voicemail requests that a return call be made and a telephone number is provided. When a return call is made, the caller is asked to provide personal identifying information such as their date of birth and social security number.

Reports indicate that the calls are frequent and persistent and that they even threaten arrest or legal action if information or money is not provided. It appears that the individuals making these calls may have access to some records connecting individuals and their relatives.  Missouri does not have a Financial Crimes Unit and all indications are that this is a fictitious agency. If you receive a similar phone call, please be advised that it is a scam and please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Missouri Information Analysis Center at 866-362-6422."

Bottom line:

Do not supply the callers with any additional information.  Inform them you have reported them to law enforcement and hang up.  If you haven't already, go ahead and report the calls to local law enforcement, your state's Attorney General and beyond.  Look up the local Secret Service branch's information in your area and get in contact with an agent there.  

If you ever applied for a cash advance online, your information is out there.  
Possible sources for the breach of your privacy are:

* The scammers obtained your information from Teletrack - a reporting agency used by many cash advance lenders to determine their risk lending to you.  The service is able to tell cash advance lenders if you have existing loans with other companies, for example.  Many state laws prohibit borrowers from having more than two cash advances out at the same time.

* The scammers created their own fake payday loan application site.  People looking for a cash advance went to the site and applied, thus freely providing the scammers with their information for malicious use at a later time.  

* The scammers were able to get into the database(s) of cash advance lenders - probable targets being Sonic Payday and Cashnet USA.  


How to protect yourself:

* Inform your employer.  You are likely getting calls at home and/or at work, so make sure your employer is aware the calls are part of a scam and to not take them seriously.  Advise the callers that they are no longer allowed to call you at work.  If they continue to call, document the date and time of the calls you received.  Save voice mails left if at all possible.  

* Change your number(s).  For some this may not be an option, for others a one-time number change can be done free of charge.

Be advised - any references you listed on your payday loan application will be contacted.  Let those people know that this is a scam, and they can disregard.

* Use Google Voice.  Google Voice is a great replacement voice mail system for just about any phone number you use.  Messages can be transcribed and voice mail recordings can be saved as mp3 files.  

Pro Tip - call the scammers with a Google Voice number before turning off your old phone numbers.  Make sure when you call you identify yourself so they can start up their script.  At any point after they have your information pulled up just hang up.  They will then start religiously calling your Google Voice number.  At this point, you are free to change your regular phone number(s) and enjoy not having these people ever call you again.  (And laugh at the fact these people are basically talking to a brick wall several times a day)

The scammers change their numbers frequently.  Law enforcement used to think it was because the callers ran out of minutes on their prepaid wireless accounts or they were shuttered due to fraud, but now they understand it's simply to evade detection by savvy consumers online.  With the proliferation of VoIP, it's even easier for the crooks to stay a couple of steps ahead of law enforcement.  Below is just a sampling of the 30+ numbers that have been used in recent memory.

So can they really do anything to you?

It's not a simple yes or no answer.  Logic dictates that, if they really wanted to take you for a ride and drain your bank accounts, they already would have.  

So, why haven't they?  

Authorization.  

Why do you think you are being called so much?  Perhaps it is because they like the sound of your voice?  No, they have to have your authorization to take any form of payment from you, period.  The callers know their audience, and that audience is typically a bunch of people that have applied for payday loans in the past.  Most of those people they call couldn't afford an attorney if they wanted one, and are so used to receiving collections calls that so long as they sound like a real collector, they will likely be perceived as one.

Furthermore, they don't even really want to talk to your attorney - that just sounds official and scary enough.  A real attorney would take the callers to task and write them off as two-bit con artists.  The callers need you, in writing, to authorize payment against the fictitious debt they claim you owe.  Go ahead, ask them for proof you owe the debt - more commonly known as verification of debt.  See what they say.  A phone authorization carries very little weight, so if they have something signed by you on file, you are done for - and the callers know that.  That authorization is the only thing these callers are doing by the book, and for good reason.  If they just went all willy nilly and made an ACH debit from your checking account, without your written approval, you could in turn report the transaction as fraudulent to your financial institution.  In about 7-10 business days, you would get the funds returned to your account.  Then the scammers would be up against a bank and their team of lawyers and investigators.  

Bottom line:

If you haven't paid the callers a dime, don't.  If you planned on paying them to shut them up, just don't.  Remember - you are not being contacted by a legally licensed, ethically owned and operated collector.  Read up on the FDCPA - http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf - and know your rights.

I got a message from these dirtbags today then called back and ripped the scummy b****h that called up one side and down the other. She could barely speak English but she sure didn't want to deal with an angry person fighting back!

Note to scammers: we are on to you, and we don't take kindly to threats and harassment, especially from worthless garbage like you.

I'm telling you folks, don't play their game, come right back at them and give them as much grief as you can. Now they won't answer the phone. Seems they can dish it out but can't take it very well.

kutta...

he Said the same exact thing to me about a "legal matter" and "time sensitive material"  and i as soon as i told him i knew that his company was a scam and that if the "is" a legal matter to file it with my county court and have me served, he hung up and i've not recieved another call, weird that as sson as i mentioned scam and real courts he got scared and hung up! he first said his name was logan smith and that he wanted to talk to my attorney and he wished me "good luck in this matter" don't worry it's not real!

I receive all kind of calls to my job from a man who has a heavy accent. rEquesting a call back to a time sensative material as i will be picked up by the police if i dont return the call. all he can wish me is good luck. I need to know if this is a scam... What is this???

http://consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/09/fdic_debt_collector_scam.html  9/7/2010 -NEWEST CONSUMER ALERT ?SCAMMERS NOW CLAIMING TO BE WITH FDIC

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.

simalir call from number 1-013-24(thats what caller ID said) but he said i was being sued by Attorney office and he needed to talk to me about time sensitive material. the number he left to call back was 209-623-4683 he had a middle eastern accent and said he needed to talk to my lawer. How can i file a case he keeps calling me over and over again and harrassing me!

Received harrassing phone call from this number stating he was Sam Smith and he has to speak to my attorney of record or will proceed with legal case.  Have received numerous phone calls from same person with very thick accent claiming different names for same issues.  Fraudulant calls.  Have filed case with FTC regarding this.
