If you're being harassed by these guys I suggest you check out a this book. I realized these bill collectors are mostly lying about everything just to get their hands on your money. If you want to make them go away it's really easy. I actually used the settlement strategy in the book and it worked perfectly, but I wanted to clear up my credit. Even if you don't owe any bills it tells you how to get everyone off your back.

I keep getting these same calls with the number on my caller ID as 4152595024. They refuse to identify the name of the company they are, and they have called my employer to get a hold of me. I have changed my cellphone number so they don t bother me anymore. This is a scam.

I received a call from someone who was either from India or somewhere over there and he said that I took out a loan with American Cash Loan , which I never have and he insisted that they were going to sue me and I said for what? I told him I never took out any loan with this company and I don't owe them any money! He still insisted and then I got really mad and started screaming at him so he hung up, I guess I scared the scam out of him, lol!!

plz take a action against this no . Harassing me ...

They called my grandma reporting they are from the CIA and that he was a US Marshall please return have me return his call?

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks

Received a call today from a guy with a indian accent or something with the name Brandon Jackson saying he was calling from Law Group of California could find nothing on this so called company.  He said that I owe $921.49 on a payday loan from March 4, 2010 that I received from US Cash and that he has proof that it was deposited into my account and that they tried to take the money out for payment but it was rejected and now there are all these charges against for fraud, etc...I was told that I better hire a lawyer to represent me in court and to have my lawyer call him.  He said I could be arrested for fraud and he knew all my personal information even my friends name and said because of you, your friend is in trouble.  I never heard of US Cash before that phone call and I have bank records showing no deposit from them.  I asked this guy what the amount of the original loan was and he said he did not know.  I told him that I have proof that US Cash only does business face to face and they are located in Kentucky so I was calling the police on his a**.  He did not say anything after that.  I filed a complaint with the FBI, my local police department, the FTC and the attorney general.  I also called my bank.  The number this idiot called me from is 530-463-1643.  I hope they stop this scam artists and put them behind bars.  This jerk totally ruined my day.

this people calling from india and do not trust that people and his aim to collect the money from u and her company name is in arabia is near by gulbai tekra off cz road in ahemdabad in india

yes

they r debt collector

yes

This is a complete scam.  The scammer that calls does not represent the payday loan company.  They will take your credit card or pre-paid card information and take your money.  Remember, collectors have to follow FDCPA guidelines and can not threaten immediate arrest or use profane language.  If you receive such a call contact the payday loan company directly.  

I did and it was not the loan company that called me.  I was notified that this was a well know scam.

These people are complete idiots!  I've gotten a minimum of 40 of these phone calls over the last few months.  They use American sounding names, but ALL have heavy Indian accents.  You would think after a couple of times they would realize that they are constantly calling the same person and not getting anywhere, but they just continue.  Don't waste your breath with them - they love to argue!  If I spoke their language I would have cursed them out by now.

It is definitely time to turn this over to an investigator because this male person with an foreign that you cannot understand and he speaks so fast that you can't keep up.  He called my daughter saying she owes for cash advance and she never has done this before.  He gave several different names:  Jack Jenkins, Mike, Brian O'Conner, James Robinson from Anderson Law & Associates; phone #s 818-746-3566, 209-916-2212.  My daughter & I were on conference call w/the fraudulent person and he refused to mail documents of his claim, started yelling & hung up 4 times because I stated by law he is required to send the info by mail and to speak slowly because I was writing all the information down.  He stated he had 3 counts against my daughter & she will be going to jail and to advise the two references and her job that he's sending an investigator.  At the beginning of the call he states "this call may be monitored or recorded & I inturn told him the same.  In total he has call my daughter's cell more than 10 times.  It's time for the Feds to lock this sucka up!!!  We are documenting every calls!!! He better give it up calling her #...he's most def messing with the wrong one.  Channel 6 Call for help will be notified....

I received a call from this number this morning .... the guy asked if I had a lawyer and I said no and he said then who is going to represent you in court?  I said I didn't know what he was talking about and he said "you don't know about this case?".  I said no and he transferred me to a woman that said her name was Angela Anderson to tell me about the cae.  They both had heavy accents and I was also threatened with court and then they threatened to arrest me.  They said that I owed $839.42 (on a loan that was originally $250) and that if I go to court I'll have to pay $8000.  She told me that to settle this for 250, I had to pay 100 today and 250 tomorrow and that I had to sent a notarized letter and told me what to write.  She said to include my name, address, social security number, a copy of my driver's license, my debit card information and security code and have it notarized and faxed to them.  She told me I had two hours to get that faxed to them.  That was an hour and a half ago ... glad I got on here and researched what was going on.  Also, when I tried to reverse look up the phone number, it is unlisted.  She wouldn't tell me the company information of the loan company and told me that they didn't want to talk to me.  Glad I know not to give them anything else now.  Thanks everyone for sharing your stories so the rest of us can avoid it!

THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAM ARTISTS!!! DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY OR VERIFY ANY PERSONAL DATA.  THEY ALSO USE THE # 626-768-2899.

I HAD THIS GUY CALL ME AT WORK AS WELL. IT SCARED ME, BUT LITTLE DID THEY KNOW THAT I WORK FOR A LAW FIRM OFFICE. I HAS ONE OF THE ATTY'S I WORK WITH CALL THEM. HE IS FULL OF S**T. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!!!!

It seems like by reading all the posts that this guy has nothing better to do with  his time other than trying to scam people to get some money.  I got a call from an Officer Alan Donald about a month ago and told me that I was being investigated for fraud and that he works for Financial Crime and Enforcement Division.  He also told me that if i don't comply and don't pay $500 by 5pm, I would have officers at my door to take me to jail.  Well, that didn't happen.  I put him on hold and looked up his number and if it wasn't for this website, I would have been shittin in my pants.  He called again today and this time, though, he called himself Mark, but with the same accent as before, go figure.  I didn't answer but i found it very weird that the number that came up was a local number.  When I called it just kept ringing.  So, I star67 his number so he would'nt know it was me.  When someone answered, I first asked who he was and he told me he was Mark.  I asked if there was an Allan Donald and he told me that he could help me.  I demanded to talk to Allan and he finally told me that there was nobody by that name.  CAN YOU SAY SCAMM ARTIST?  PLEASE I WARN ANYBODY TO NOT GIVE OUT A SINGLE CLUE OF WHO YOU ARE.  THESE ARE HACKERS THAT CAN RETRIEVE YOUR INFO EITHER BY YOUR IP ADDRESS OR BY PERSONAL INFO THAT YOU GIVE ONLINE.  BE VERY CAREFUL.  AND DON'T TRY TO GO FURTHER BY TALKING TO THE FBI OR THE POLICE.  THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRACK THEM BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS CHANGE THEIR NUMBER AND THEIR LOCATION.  IT WILL BE A WASTE OF TIME ON YOUR PART

The same thing happened to me today. A man called me from a 212-500-0839 # saying how i owe money and if i don't pay i will be arrested. He told me that I had a pay day loan put into an account i don't even have. Then he told me there was a law suit against me for 10, 000 so I told him to take it from my azz.

In the even that you actually paid money to these scammer you should contact local law enforcement first. They can put you in touch with someone to help. It's a grey area now that you paid but there should be something that can be done to retrieve your money and if not, at least have the scammers arrested. Another good idea would be to contact the Secret Service as they investigate financial scams, as well as the attorney general in your state. Good luck with everything, I hope you get some justice.

Just received a message from a foreign individual stating that his name was Alan Donald and that was with the Financial Claims Enforcement Network and that I need to contact him as soon as possible before legal actions were taken. The telephone number is 212-500-0839. He also stated that he has my SSN and Residential Address.

I KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM 212-500-0839 SAME FOREIGNER BUT SOMEDAYS HE CALLS HIMSELF JEFFREY SCOTT OTHER DAYS STEVE WALKER.  THIS IS A SCAM. I TOLD HIM I WAS HAVING HIM INVESTIGATED FOR FRAUD AND HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM SINCE.

Thank you so much for these posts! I got a call 2 days ago from an officer Peter Thompson with the financial crimes enforcement network. Didn't think anything of it at the time until I looked up the name on line. I never spoke to the guy but he left a message on my cell phone. He had a very heavy accent and very hard to understand saying before i get into trouble I needed to call him immediately. the #was 2125000839. I never called back but after searching the web I found that the financial crimes enforcement network is associated with the U.S Treasury department and investigate money laundering, mortgage fraud and terrorist plots.So.....my conclusion is that officer peter thompson is a phony! If someone is investigating me for any reason I can assure you it would not be by phone!

do u have the numbmber for us cash advance

iI recently got a payday cash advance online for 300.00 and am currently paying that back and am in good standing with the loan co..  This week I started recieving calls at work by some joker by the name of officer Alan Donald whose accent does not match his name might I add. Telling me I owe for that loan and he will be turning me over to the prosecutor if it is not paid back by 1:00pm today.  I contacted the co that I got the loan from and they informed me that this was a fraud and not to give them any of my info.  What a rude sob I called him back and the idiot wanted to talk to my supervisor at work. I gave him a piece of my mind and told him I was recording this call and reporting him to the states attorney's office.  He only got beligerant and started calling me names. I laughed at him and said get ready.  He also said he was collecting for us cash advance.  I never got a loan from them and have my bank records to prove it.  Do not give them any of your info!  It's too bad that someone from India or wherever has access to all of our info.

I've even tried calling the numbers on the "Finanacial Crimes Enforcement Network" just to find out if this was a scam from them.  Guess what, no body answers a single call.  Until someone actually serves me with papers I'm not going to believe these people have a pot to p*ss in.  I just find it absurd that they continuously keep harrassing people.  Apparently someone somewhere told them that this was an easy scam.  
Also numbers you should be concerned with: 7039053965; 7039053557,7039053591.

got the call today from this rude guy would not tell me the name of his company and said i owed 500.00 to some bull crap company he to told me that he was going to have me arrested. bull...he would not tell me who he worked for or represented. i told him a few things.

the thing that concerns me was the info he had on me and my ss number. where in the hell do these people get this info

IF YOU EVER TOOK OUT A PAYDAY LOAN OR APPLIED FOR ANY LOAN OVER THE INTERNET..THAT IS WHERE THESE GUYS GET YOUR INFORMATION.I MISTAKENLY APPLIED FOR A PAYDAY LOAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO ONLINE AND NOW 3 YEARS LATER EVERY FEW MONTHS THEY CALL ME TO TELL ME I OWE SOME NON-EXIXSTENT COMPANY MONEY, A LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST ME AND I WILL BE ARRESTED IF I OR MY LAYWER DOESN'T CALL THEM BACK. I ONCE ASKED IF PAPERWORK WAS SENT TO ME AND THEY TOLD ME I CAN STOP THE LAWSUIT IF I PAID.-IN AMERICA ONCE THE PAPERS HAVE BEEN DRAWN UP YOU CAN ONLY ANSWER A LAWSUIT BY GOING TO COURT-THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!!!!! THEY CHANGE THEIR NUMBER EVERY FEW MONTHS

The man calls repeatedly, middle eastern accent (indian/pakistan) threatening a lawsuit for a debt that I know doesn't exist.  Word to the wise; if there IS a case against anyone, that case will show on the docket for whatever court they say they work for.  Those dockets are online, and can be pulled by the case number (docket number), the plaintiff (collection agency), or the defendent (you or your acquaintance).  Until such time as any of those pan out, consider it a scam, plain & simple.Caller ID: 7528391604

Some azn retard that has an american sounding name tells me he is an officer of some type and to have my lawyer call his. I think he's having a trip with LSD ...
