If the number 210-893-5644 is calling you, IT IS A SCAM.  They called me this morning stating I owed money. Stated I would be arrested withi in a few hrs if I didn't pay them $310.  They are stating that I got a loan from them and defaulted.  ITS A SCAM!  If you get calls from this number, Report them to your local Attorney Generals Office.

WHO IS CALLING ME FROM THIS NUMBER AND HARRASSING ME AT WORK 5X WHEN THEY KNOW ITS ILLEGAL TO CALL A WORK PLACE.... DOESNT MAKE SINCE... HELP!?

On Feb 1, 2011 and a couple of other dates.  I received a phone call from a Mr. Alvin Russell and along with Andrew Booker.  He spoke with what it sounded as a middle eastern accent.  He was very hard to understand, do to he English being so broken up.  Stating that if I did not pay the amount of $1800.00 for an unpaid cash advance loan. If I did not pay by the end of the day I would be arrested the next morning.  You are committing fraud by not paying and that it would be a $8K for court costs.  I would be arrested at workor at home  in front of my children.  They had all of my information such at my home address, phone numbers, social security number. I said that I did not have that kind of money at this time. He wanted me to write a letter stating the I have good interntions to take care of this matter.  I am willing to make a payment of $1800.00 at of the date above.  He was wanting my VISA number, exp. Date, and the last 3 numbers on the back.  Then I had to authorize a payment and that I will NOT take legal actions.  I assure that I will not dipute this transaction.  I was scared I told him that he WOULD be contacted by my ATTORNEY he hung up and has not called back.   I was freaking out the rest of the afternoon.  Went to our attorney and he said that it was a scam.  I had been scammed once and it was not going to happen again.  He had gotten an email from the attorney generals office of the state of OREGON.   I just want to let everyone know that it is NOT very nice to SCARE the H.LL out of people.  This could cause someone to have a nerveous breakdown or worse have a heart attack and pass.  In doing research on the F..KING person took the IDENTIY of a person that had just pass away.  I feel very sorry for that persons family.

I got a call that  man call  Officer Danny Foster aand he threaten me to pay 1312.12 as outside court settlement and to send 500.00 right away or I will be arrested within 24 hrs and pay a fine of 6500.00 and I tried asking him with company he represented he would't say and he just say it was result of a online payday load, but I call my attorney and he told me it is a scam and don't send any money and she said they don't put in jail for debt of any kind. I was told not to talk with him and just hung up the phone on him.

this is FRAUDsters using Caller ID spoofing and not really calling from this number..

The SCAMMERS love to post their FALSE information claiming this scam is legit using all CAPS.

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.

KNS is a SCAM Company.  IT IS FAKE. Mid-eastern guy by name of Danny Foster posing as an officer and threating people of arrest for a defaulted loan.  I have reported this company to Tex-Link and my local attorney generals office in IOWA.  These people are calling people all over the US and trying to use scare tactics to give them money for FAKE transactions.  DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING, BUT DO GIVE THEM THIS INFO: THEY ARE SCAMMERS. THEY CANNOT HAVE YOU ARRESTED, AND TO GO JUMP IN THE RIVER NEAR THEM!  LOL.

I have been harrasing them back!  :)  they don't want to play anymore.  abandoning my calls.

Report these guys to the local attorney generals office. they are a scam. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO OR CASH TO THEM. IT IS A SCAM!

They are a scam.  Tell your mom to report them to the attorney generals office. Also, she can try to get her social security number changed by reporting them as fraud, if they have her social security number.

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!  THEY ARE TRYING TO DEFRAUD PEOPLE OF CASH.  DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEM.  CONTACT YOUR LOCAL ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. IF THEY THREATEN YOU TO BE ARRESTED, IT IS NOT TRUE.  YOU CAN NOT BE ARRESTED.

This is fraud these people called my mother from 210-893-5644 and had her all upset for nothing telling her that I will be arrested if I didn't handle the debt! A lady with a heavy middle eastern accent called and stated that her name was officer nancy williams I could barely understand her she said that if I didn't contact her and pay the debt I will be going to jail! So I google the number and got this site!!! So thanks for this site it really helps and I will most definitely tell everyone about it!!!!

I?ve been getting these harassing calls all day today the number that is calling me shows up on my caller ID as 000-000-0000, but when I ask this person what their number is he gave me 210-893-5644 this number belongs to Tex-Links communications a sister company of Pac-West telecom located in Stockton CA.  I sent a e-mail to Pac-West Telecom (pwnoc@pacwest.com)  Advising them to contact their end-user and to have them add me to the "do not call list".  I suggest that anyone getting these types of calls to do the same.  This person did not realize that I work as a Systems Engineer for a phone company and that I have access to several databases.  This is a scam and they should be stopped, they are asking for information......

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A UNAVAILABLE NUMBER AND HAD 6 MISSED CALLS FROM A UNAVAILABLE NUMBER BEFORE 9 AM TODAY. SPOKE TO THE PERSON THIS AFTERNOON AND THEY SOUNDED AS IF THEY HAD A MIDDLE EASTERN ACCENT. BARELY COULD UNDERSTAND THEM. ANYWAYS, THEY TOLD ME I OWED ALMOST $760 FROM A UNPAID LOAN FROM US CASH ADVANCE. THEY STATED IF I DIDNT PAY THEM THAT DAY I WOULD BE ARRESTED THE NEXT MORNING. THEY SAID THEY WERE WORKING AS A NOTIFICATION COMPANY. THEY READ ME AN AFFIDAVIT THEY HAD SAYING I COMMITED SUCH CRIMES AS FRAUD ETC. WHEN I ASKED FOR MORE DETAILS AND HOW COME THEY HAVENT CONTACTED ME PREVIOUS TO THIS CALL THEY SAID THEY HAD EMAILED ME 3X AND WARNED ME. THEY HAD ALL MY INFORMATION SUCH AS MY HOME ADD., PHONE NUMBER AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. THEY THREATENED ME AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE ME ARRESTED IF I DIDNT PAY THEM RIGHT THEN AND THERE. I TOLD THEM I DIDNT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AT THE MOMENT AND WOULDNT BE ABLE TO PAY ANYTHING UNTIL MY NEXT PAYDAY. SO THEY WANTED ME TO WRITE OUT A LETTER STATING I WOULD PAY THEM $500 ON THAT DAY AND WANTED ME TO SIGN AND PROVIDE MY ID AND FAX THEM IT TO THIS FAX NUMBERS 206-309-3660 AND 206-202-5171. I HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY TO FAX THIS. THE MAN SAID HIS NAME WAS OFFICER BRIAN JONES AND GAVE ME HIS CONTACT NUMBER AS 210-893-5644 TO CALL HIM AND LET HIM KNOW WHEN I WAS FAXING THIS. I HAVE BEEN FREAKING OUT ON THIS PHONE CALL ALL DAY.

you do not have a debt against you this is a scam i arrived at work this morning with a message from a zack rogers with a heavy middle eastern accent telling me they are calling from a law office to not disregard the message and to call him at 210-893-5644 but the caller id said 916-395-000 if you search the later numebr there is alot of complaints. i recieved the same type of a call a few months with threats that if i didnt 968.55 right then and there with a cc then the police would show up to my work and arrest me for a check loan i never repaid (which was a lie) they are just trying to get you for money. the police would never arrest you for a debt. they would never even get involved.

You have a debt against you
