Nathan Ross works for a pre legal department that handles past due accts. He is calling to offer you a settlement before his company takes you to court. I actually saved over $1300 on an old credit card debt with him.

Got a call from 818-337-3022 eastern accent telling me i needed to call kevin peterson due to some kind of charges against me, kinda weird.  Told me to call this number and got the same guy back, couldn't speak english very well, and he hung up.

This "Kevin Peterson" or as he likes to call himself "Officer Kevin" thinks he is one bad a**.  He likes to threathen people that officers are coming to get them at work.  He also told me and my boss that I had committed fraud againt the company and they would have to defend themself in court.  I am going to file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office.  Thank goodness my boss knew without a doubt that he was full of bull or it could potentially have cost me my job.

kevin peterson called me call him at 5102560377 please he needs to be taught a lesson he messed with the wrong us soldier

I did not recieve calls from this number but recieved one from 3105981661 at 2am for the past 3nights, stating all the same things and his name was Kevin Peterson... after stating not to call (in not a nice way) he left 15 threatning msgs. I finally decided to call back during the day and read him off, i must have gotten under his skin cause' he went as far as saying he "f'd" my mother, sister... so on...  I then stated thanks for staying on the line long enough the FBI now has your address as they have been tracking and recording this phone call... all i heard was "oh s**t" and he hung up... haven't heard from him again... yet anyways... maybe u all can try that =)

call saying i will be pick up from my job, i cant sleep i want to talk to this kevin peterson person

Threaten to arrest me for a loan debt from Total Lending> Accused me of check fraud and criminal activities.  His name is Michael Clarke and threaten to prosecute me for a $390.00 loan.  Wants me to pay over $900.00 as well.  Did not want to send me any validation of debt or at least a breakdown.  He scares me.

A relative of mine received a call from an ***HOLE indicating the same BULL**** he tells everyone else.  The must have received this information from insiders and they are computer hackers!  Hell No! Are they going to get paid and thanks for "GOOGLE", we wouldn't of known about it!  Once they're caught, they must be hung and slottered!!! I couldn't believe how much it scared my cousin, Leo! Anyway, THEY WILL GET CAUGHT! THEY HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.  THAT'S PRETTY SCARY, THEY HAVE INFORMATION ON EVERYTHING YOU WOULDN'T THINK OF!

Ok so today I got a call at work stating that they would be picking me up if I did not pay the debt owed.  I decided to google the number and found this. Be careful everyone...this is truly a scam.  Don't pay anything...report this as soon as possible.

I also got a call from a so called Offiicer Joseph Woody and his supervisor is supposedly Officer Kevin Peterson. The numbers I was called from were 305-748-4717 and 305-600-0215 and a fax number 407-506-0758. He claimed the company he works for, Financial Crime Division is based out of Orlando, FL. They said to pay 804.00 and the 500.00 laon I never even took out would be resolved and I would not be prosecuted for 3 complaints filed against me by a company on line that gave me a alleged loan via Cashnet. This is truly a scam, and I had to close my bank account and make sure they wouldn't do any other thing with my personal information. These crooks even read to me my social security number and other pertinent information I do not want them to have. They threatened me and said the police were coming to my home to pick me up because I did not reply to there demands. I pray that these people or individual is cought and I would love to be there when they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. if any one would like to contact me regarding this incident, please feel free to call me at 757-506-2887.

I am also being harrassed at my job by these folks from this number. It seems to be individuals with an indian accent. They also know my private information such as my ssn, home address, business address. They threaten to come on my job to arrest me for a debt I truly know nothing about. I learned of this site while watching DATELINE tonight.

ststing that my job will be sued for something , told me that i will be picked up from my job and arrested. for what i am not sure, i call back but only get voicemail,i have a recording of the phone conversation , and he changed his reasons once i stated i was recording the call. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS ABOUT.

Got a call from what sounded like an asian woman asking if I knew 'elizabeth'?  She actually first said "Elizabeth?" when I answered and I said 'no'.  She said is this '(my first name)' and I said yes, and she asked if I knew elizabeth arez (or something like that)  which I really don't.  I googled this number to see who it was.  That was all she asked for though.?? weird.

i just got an email saying that my credit card has been deactivated, by a bank i dont have an account with.  the same phone number appears to call in and re-activate it.  this guy is a fraud!!!!

I got a call from "Eric Scott, Sam McCallis, Kevin Johnson, Travis Griffin" who I know are the same person, telling me all the things that are posted.  I am a criminal, the "cops" are coming to get me at work, my ss# is being put into a database to be blocked, and starts shouting and will hane up on me.  He has also called from several different phone numbers, Zebulon, NC; Raeigh, NC; NY City,; Cortland, NY; Decatur, GA.  This guy needs to be put out of business

They are no sooner going to send police to your house than George Bush is likely to be elected to a third term...

The calls are most likely originating from a call center based in either Mumbai or Delhi, India (although the firm also has offices in Ukraine, Macedonia, Indonesia, Guatemala and Taiwan).  

File a complaint with the FTC!  Good luck!

dude he's full of crap. i have the same thing going on with me.. theye are just trying to get you to loose your job or something because you won't just hand them moneye theye clame you owe.. it's bs but mostly harmless as far as i can tell...

I got a call today on my voicemail at work from this number saying that his name was Michael Johnson from the US Legal Investigation Department, and that it was involving some banking fraud on my social security number last four #_ _ _ _ and my address, (which was actually correct info) and that if i did not return the call he didn't know what would happen and that he would have officers at my place of employment and at my house.  He was not american.  I don't know where he'was from but he spoke very broken english.

I got a call also from 210-858-6603, stating the same thing. That I was being investigated and would be arrested within an hour. This is so ridiculous and I would like them to stop calling.

I just recieved a call stating I would be arrested if we did not pay a 730.00 bill.  The caller stated he was from the United Legal dept of San Antiono, Tx.  The caller stated his name was Michael Clark and demanded I Western Union the funds today.  I keep asking him what the bill was and he would not give me much infomation as to what overdue bill I owed.  He had my SS# and Name.  He repeatedly demanded the money and hung up on me.  I called him back to get more information.  Only to have him berate me about the amount owed.  He stated he was going to call my boss, Which he did and left a message on his voicemail as well.  He called back and was givin no real information other than he was being investagated for fraud and we would be served tomorrow with papers.

Again..this guy is still on a roll.  He just called me about lunch time and stated the same information. THIS IS A TRUE SCAM DON'T PAY ANYTHING..CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AG OFFICE.

First and foremost, what this man does is more than a little illegal. He has no ties to law enforcement or any law-associated agency for that matter. He cannot threaten to have you arrested nor demean your character. If he calls you back, demand to know exactly who it is he works for, the original account he is referring to, and the number for the original debtor. By law, he must provide this information.

Should this fail, demand a physical address and send a "cease and desist" letter demanding he end all phone contact and have all future correspondence by mail. By law, if after receiving this letter he contacts you by phone, he is violating many statutes. Of course, upon receiving your letter, he may call you one more time to acknowledge he will not be contacting you by phone any longer.

Hope this helps!

Don't fall for this scam. This is a group of criminals that was originally based in Florida and, after the Florida attorney general began pursuing them, fled for Georgia.  Like many criminals, they go by various names: Bass & Associates/United Legal Investigations Bureau/United Federal Bank/Impact Business Marketing/Ellis Crosby & Associates/States Predisposition Services/Jackson Phillips & Associates and many others.

Though their aliases vary, their method never does. Masquerading as bankers, debt collectors, police, or other government officials, these crooks call consumers and attempt to extort money with a myriad of illegal false threats. These threats are always phony and include arresting you, ruining your credit rating, serving you "papers" for a lawsuit and, yes, taking your children away from you.  In one recent phone call to a consumer, these crooks even pretended to be on a walkie talkie coordinating a police raid of the consumer's home.  Granted, this stuff is laughably ridiculous, but, sadly, some people fall for it.

Fortunately, law enforcement authorities and the press have taken notice of these crooks. Check out this recent article from the Florida Times-Union: http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/120107/met_221875639.shtml

And these links explain more about this criminal operation:

There are a lot of 800Notes reports on the many phone numbers these grifters use. These two are typical: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-918-3844
http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-678-954-0520

Since they've already made an illegal threat against you, I suggest you do all the following:

1) Give them nothing. And tell them nothing other than to "cease all communication" with you.

2) Report all your information to the Federal Trade Commission here: https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

3) File a complaint with your state's attorney general. The contact infor for each state's attorney general is at www.naag.org

4) Report all the same information to Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum at http://myfloridalegal.com/contact.nsf/contact?Open&Section=Attorney_General

5) Report all the same information to the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs at http://consumer.georgia.gov/00/channel_modifi ... 5687815,00.html

6) File a complaint with your local police.

7) Give the FBI a heads-up about this phone call. You can give them the details online at https://tips.fbi.gov

8) Should you want to contact an attorney to defend your rights and pursue these crooks, there are plenty of consumer law professionals who work on contingency in matters like this. Here are links to websites that either provide attorney referrals or are law firms that specialize in suing outlaw debt collectors:

Consumer Advocate Bud Hibbs - http://www.budhibbs.com/First.htm

If someone attempted to break into your home to steal your belongings, you would probably contact law enforcement. This case is no different. Don't let these criminals at United Federal Bank/Bass/Jackson Phillips/States Predisposition victimize you. Contact the authorities and help put this crime syndicate out of business. Good luck.

Received voicemail message from a person by the name of Michael Clark indicating that I was involved in a lawsuit and was being arrested for fraud. He stated that I was a criminal and should not be working at the company which employs me. I indicated to this person that he did not have the legal right to call my place of business and he stated that he would continue to call until he reached my manager.
