They have been calling me for months I have reported them to the Kentucky American General Fraud Dept and they stopped then now they are calling again from a different number using different names but same people you can't understand, threatening calling me at work. They are about to get me in trouble but I have reported them AGAIN so hopefully they will leave me alone.  Just reading some of your post a word of wisdom if somebody has a warrant for your arrest they are NOT going to call and tell you they are coming to get you they will just come and get you!! It is quite aggravating and can be scary but call the company in question that they are using and find out if you owe them money. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY MORE INFORMATION!!!   IT IS A SCAM !!!

I received calls like this last summer/fall.  The descriptions that have been given thus far about these phone calls are very much like the ones I experienced last year.  The calls went on for almost a week straight (3 - 5 times a day) at my place of employment.  Oddly enough, these calls were never made to my home phone.  They started again yesterday morning at my place of employment.  I received two calls yesterday.  The number left on my voicemail was 213.992.0684.  I could not make out any name of an agency . . . something about an law office . . . and all of the rest of the same kinds threats.  Today, the message included more threats, and it even mentioned the names of other people and threats they too would be responsible for paying this "so-called" debt.  The number left this morning was 213.210.2407.  Last summer, I filed complaints with the FTC, BBB, and my Attorney Generals office about these calls . . . last year they were calling themselves Reed & Associates, it didn't exist.

I received a month worth of calls from this agency, he has an accent. He says his name is Ryan & Jason. He told me 2/3/2010 he will drive to my work today, kidnap me, rape me & kill me. I had the Sheriff Dept come out and file for a stalking charge. Since they are a Scammer group and there is no way to get the real guys nothing will be done. Lets ban together and all of us share info we should all have enough to get a lawyer and hit them where it hurts. I thought my life was in danger and now I am mad and I want justice. E-Mail me backcom any one who wants to get your peace and mind back and see that something gets done. When we are alone they can do this if we ban together and share info we could actually have enough info to get them arrested or go after the owner of the Company also.....I want my life back, the one I had before he started terrorizing me.... Thanks

Called to threaten me about a loan I never made!  Wanted me to retain an attorney, or they were going to file a fraud charge on me.  They even called me at work!!  How do we get these people to stop??  They finally just hung up on me after I asked them to send me the documentation to prove it.

I got the call saying the cyber crime officer was coming to get me to take me to court, and they even read a fake affidavid.  Once I figured out they were trying to scam me, I went with it and called them over and over again, saying I was waiting for them, and the person laughed and said ok, we are not coming, he said we don't want to be arrested. I bugged and bugged them until they couldnt stand it.  And gave up saying what do you want.  Then they even tryed to become my friend and said he wanted to see my pic and would look me up on facebook.  And asked if I wanted him to call me tomorrow.  I said sure....I am gonna get a real name and location by deceiving them the way they do others.  And have more info to supply to the Federal website I turned them in on.

I got a call from telephone number 2132102407 (he also called me from 7140066000) saying that I owed their company money for a payday loan that I took out last year, and that they would be sending someone to come arrest me at my home or job. I have no idea who they are, but they have my address and they know where I work, and I haven't taken out any payday loans. When I asked him where they were located and who the loan company was, he hung up on me.

Fake Debt Collectors ? Terrorizing Consumers

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.html   latest release of information on this scam

http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
Attorney General Darrell McGraw took the extraordinary step today of warning the public about a band of scam artists making threats to consumers who allegedly obtained Internet payday loans in West Virginia and across the nation. The consumers they threaten never obtained a loan at all or paid it off years ago.

Internet payday loans are short-term loans or cash advances, usually for 14 days, made over the Internet via interactive web sites and secured by an agreement authorizing debits of the loan and all fees owed from the consumer?s checking account. These loans typically charge interest rates ranging from 600-800 APR and are unlawful in West Virginia.

The scam artists, who speak English with a foreign accent, call themselves ?U.S. National Bank,? ?Federal Investigation Bureau,? ?United Legal Processing? and numerous other phony names. They refuse to disclose real names and addresses and are believed to be operating ?off the grid? from homes, automobiles, or from off shore locations or foreign countries, including India. Since the scammers have kept themselves purposely well hidden, thus far no law enforcement agencies have succeeded in locating or shutting them down.

The scammers typically pose as law enforcement officers, investigators, lawyers, and bankers and threaten consumers that they will be arrested for ?bank fraud? or other fictitious crimes unless money is wired immediately. They simultaneously scare and confuse consumers by using meaningless legalese gobbledygook phrases such as, ?We are downloading warrants against you? or ?We are filing an affidavit against you.? Consumers who don?t immediately fall for the scam are warned, ?Only God can help you now.?

The scammers almost always call consumers at work several times a day, and tell their supervisors, ?Your employee has committed fraud and is about to be arrested.? Such threats have proven unsettling even to the most savvy consumers and employers who suspect the calls are fraudulent.

Attorney General McGraw stated, ?Ordinarily my office protects consumers from fraudulent activities by seeking injunctions in court. But legal action cannot be taken until the scam artists can be located. Even then, it is unlikely that the persons behind the fraudulent calls and extortionist threats would obey a court order. In this case, the consumer?s best defense is to be armed with the knowledge of the scam so that all demands for money can be resisted, despite the false but scarey threats of arrest.?

McGraw added, ?Because the fraudsters make a special point of calling consumers repeatedly at work, employers must understand that the consumers are innocent victims of a criminal enterprise and cannot stop the calls from coming. I also wish to assure the citizens of West Virginia that my office will continue to do everything possible to locate and shut down the outlaw debt collectors.?

More information about this fraudulent debt collection scheme is available at the Attorney General?s website, www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam. Any consumers who have been threatened by these persons or wish to file a complaint about another consumer matter may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 1-800-368-8808, or by obtaining a complaint form from the Attorney General?s web site.

It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.
A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.
This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.
Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )
Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.
This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

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.

Some useless punk called my husband's job, and asked him for is attorney's info. That some cash loan deposited money in our account and we never paid. He said he was a attorney, and he was giving it over to the prosecutor, that we could either pay the 5,000 or settle for 500. My husband ask for more info on this and he hung up.

Did you ever get them to stop? They called me today and were very rude. I called the place they said they were from and they said it was a complete fraud. Which I figured anyways. I don't want them calling my house threatening me when I know that they are fraud. I contacted my local police department and they said if they call back let them know, but I don't know what they can do I'm from MN and these people are from CA. If they got my phone number and information I hope they don't have my social security number too!

My wife and I have been getting calls from them for about 6 months, they're always changing the call back number because the athorities finaly call them at some point. all of the different call back numbers originate from Torrence CA.
