Received a text message to my mobile number from 213-260-9143 with the following text:
"Msg sent to provider. Save yourself time and a trip to my office. You now have personal access to me for just $20 per call by simply calling (855-348-0623)."
I added it to the spam number list (an option on my mobile phone).
HATE they can get to me!

I received a phone call as well stating i am being investigated for fraud and two police officers would be at my work the next afternoon to arrest me.  I demanded for them to Cease and Desist calling me at that number ever again and stated I wanted in writing the complaint against me and also stated I wanted the wet ink signature of the loan I am suppose to have taken out.  The person stated he would not call again and has not.

I got a call from thsi number at my work. It was an indian guiy stating hisname was "Ricky Jordan" and he needed me or my atty to call for a large issue?? I dont knwo couldnt understadn him very well, but I get one voice mail and it said not to ignore and if i choose not to call all he could do was wish me good luck.

I tried to call the number back and I received a message stating "this number is temporarily out of service"

i too received a call from david cooper claiming to be a us marshal. He said I was to be arrested and sent to jail.  Boy this guy is something else.  So I though to myself lets have a little fun with this guy, since i knew it was a scam.  I had this guy on the phone for 10 minutes and laughed so hard i nearly peed my pants.  The next three days, i keep calling him and asking him when i will be arrested.  He hung on me, so I called him back, which i think he did not like.  I then called the Los Angles us marshals office to let them know what was going, on.  I think I might call the scam guy back in about a week and so more fun.

Everybody needs to request for him to send a letter thru the mail with the company letter head name at the top and n the letter explain to them what charges or whatever hes accusing u of n the letter and when he wants to e-mail it to you u tell him that that is unacceptable this information i got from the BBB i told him this when he called me back and he hung up on me and i havent received the call no more calls but iv tried to call him to ask why hes hanging up on me n he wont answer!!!! What an A#s

This man has been calling me for months. He always has gotten my answering machine but tonight I decided to answer the phone. A man with a middle eastern accent was on the phone line. He said he was a paralegal working for a law firm. He said his name was John and it was very important I get in touch with him. He was not professional at all (demanding I talk to him NOW, literally his word "now). When I asked about the information he acted surprised that I haven't been served yet. He wouldn't tell me any information about a supposed lawsuit against me. Finally, he gave me the same number to call with an extension 346 to speak with a Mr. David Cooper. He said to keep calling if I did not get in touch with Mr. Cooper.

So, I did just that. Finally, after about ten times, someone answered the phone. He asked for my phone number to see my reference. Finally he came up with my name and said I had taken out a pay day loan in March of 2011. When I informed him I didn't he wouldn't give me a specific date. He stated it had been placed in my account but I never paid, which I didn't do. When I demanded paper work or some form stating what I owed and which company was suing me he stated I would be arrested tomorrow and expedited to California. He noted I was disabled and I said "yes, I am" and then promptly informed me my social security check would not be coming next month. Then I informed him I am not on social security. He said "but we have you as disabled" and I explained I was on private disability as a teacher. When I asked for the paper work, again, he said he could e-mail it to me. So, I accepted that and he placed me on hold and then hung up on me. This is a huge scam!

This Caller has been calling me non stop and harrasing me saying inapropriate things about me and threatning me that i must be present with a lawer.

I have just received a call from this # 2 times an my cell and 1 time at work this man called his self Mark Jones and hes got my SS# my address and when i answered his call he said that there was a lawsuit against me but wouldnt tell me nothing other than the Lawyer was Robin Ross if i understood him correctly n i asked him for the # to them n it was the same exact # he called from n told me it was extension 346 n when u call that # as u all know it doesnt allow u to enter an extension im so glad that i decided to enter this # n found ur alls comments thanks so much!!!! Im gonna see if i cant report this to the BBB and see what they tell me try to let you all know!!!

Got a call from this number and also another call just like it from another individual from a blocked number.  I have had a Internet pay day loan in the past and is probably how they obtain my information.  Best bet is to close my checking account and re-open another one seeing how the loan is paid and it is very possible that when obtaining that short-term loan that my information was sold to a mass amount of companies legitimate and fraudulent alike.  Beware; this is a scam.  They may have pieces of your information or in some cases ALL of your information that you may have provided to the Internet loan querey used to obtain the short-term loan.

I just received a call from some foreign guy telling me I was going to be arrested either at work or at my home, and he said he was calling from the Attorney Generals office or Federal office, I couldn't make it out too  well, about fraud. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, he said you didn't know you were being sued, no.He wanted to know if I had an attorney and I said no.  He told me to hang up right then and call Robin Ross or David Cooper, and don't stop calling until I reach someone. I thought I would look the number up first, and I am glad I did. Just putting my 2 cents worth in.

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A MAN NAMED JOHN WALTER AT MY JOB STATING HE WAS FROM THE DEPT OF CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND RELATIONS IN CALIFORNIA AND IT WAS AN URGENT LEGAL MATTER AND I SHOULD CALL HIM IMMEDIATELY. BEING THE OUTSTANDING AMERICAN I AM I CALLED RIGHT AWAY TO BE TOLD THAT MR. WALTER WAS UNAVIAILBLE AND THIS MAN NAMED DAVID GRUBER OR GUBER...WHATEVER WAS HIS SUPERVISOR. THE MAN WAS NASTY AND RUDE AND REPEATEDLY HUNG UP,ON ME WHEN THE CONVERSATION WASNT GOING HIS WAY. I HAD MY BOSS CALL BACK IN MY BEHLAF AND SPEAK FOR ME BECAUSE THE HINDI ACCENT WAS SOOOOOO THICK I COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND HIM. HE TOLD ME IF I DIDNT PAY HIM $769 BY 11:30 AM YESTERDAY HE WOULD FORWARD MY INFO TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA AT WHICH POINT I PANICKED BECAUSE IM A SINGLE MOTHER AND THIS GUY KEPT SPITTING OUT MY SS# AND HOME ADDRESS AND MY WORK INFORMATION. THEY THREATENEDTO HAVE ME EXTRADITED TO CA AND TO PUT MY CHILD INTO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM OF CA. I CONTACTED THE CREDIT REPORT AGENCIES TO FIND OUT THIS IS A SUPER SCAM! DONT FALL FOR IT.....DONT PAY THEM....HELL IF YOU DONT HAVE TO ANSWER UR PHONE DONT! AND IF YOU DO ANSWER ALLOW THEM TO STAY ON THE PHONE A FEW SECONDS...HANG UP AND DIAL *57 TO AUTOMATICALLY REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE AND THE PHONE COMPANIES. NOONE SHOUD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF HARASSMENT!

Called me at my work. Same story as everyone else.
SCAM SCAM SCAM!!

I received calls from these people three weeks ago and cussed the guy out because I had already turned one into a fraud agency and the lady warned me that they would call saying I was being sued. The man hung up on me and didn't call back. Again today I started recieving phone calls from this number again. The guy told me the same thing he has told everyone else about bein turned in to ur local police having 3 counts against me. blah blah blah. I told him this was b***s*** and he hung up on me. I called back and he told me he wasn't gonna listen to me talk to him that way I called him a stupid b*stard. He hung up again. I've been trying to call back just to mess with them since they want to mess with me, but now my call won't go through.

Got two calls from this number on my cell phone today left to very nasty messages - a Ricky Jordan said I must return the call as soon as I received the message, there were three lawsuits against me.  He wanted to verify my attorney's information etc.  Crazy especially since today was the first time the number has called me at all.  Then the same number left a message with my place of employment saying it was a legal matter.  NUT CASE!!!  I will be reporting the number and situation to my local athorities and anyone else who needs to be contacted.

The caller keeps callin my cell phone with the same;"You have three criminal charges aginst you,The police is comin too arrest you at my "(address) which he give me with also my last 4 ss#. He left messages with his name as Marshall, So when I answered he replied I needed to talk to Attorney Robert Ross.Which I knew he was a fraud. BUT HOW DID HE GET MY INFORMATION? IT SHOULD BE AGINST THE LAW....!!!!!!!!

I just received the same type of call. I NEVER applied for nor received funds from any Payday company. It's a scam. I've already filed a complaint with www.ftc.gov. I advise everyone to do this. It's a big old scam.

Yep, got the same phone call about a debt that I don't even owe. My bank has absolutely no information about some "payday loan", im thinking that is is a scam.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller?s instructions. Rather, you should:

Notify your banking institutions.
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

Never give your Social Security number?or personal information of any kind?over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

I just got a call from this number from a man named David Cooper and he said that I needed to pay over $700 in 30 minutes or I was going to be arrested today for 3 counts of fraud and I would be sent to prison in California. I was freaked out until I called an lawyer and I found this website with all this information on it. That was crazy but I am glad that I found it that it wasn't real. Be careful everyone!

It's a complete and total fake!!! These people are calling my sister saying the very same thing. So I decided to google the number and it lead me to here. She says its an Indian guy posing as the name of Ryan Davis (that's a joke within itself) who is stating she owes money and that she will be arrested if she does not pay. Such a scam to cause panic and make you pay for something you don't owe! Call this number and ask for Ryan Davis and give chew him out!! Lol.

Same as I did this morning on my work phone number from 213.260.9143 telling me his name was Nathan Rice he is lawyer and I was accused of 3 counts of fraud SCAM SCAM SCAM.  I never received a PayDay Loan - they also said if I did not pay I would be arrested.  I have reported them to FTC www.ftc.gov.

I have been getting similar calls in previous weeks, but with different motives. the last call was telling me that I qualified for a government loan. Some accents.

I think it's the same call center.

Do they really think I'm that dumb?

I'd advise for people to reset their phones if they answered this call on their cell phones. If they are that desperate they might be siphoning information from your cell phone, or tracking you...

They called me saying that I was being sued by a pay day loan company. Say they are federal attorney based in California. They asked me for my social security number.

They sounded East Indian (no offense to anyone)

this f**got is telling me to resolve this situation within 30min and to go to cvs to get a pay card with the amount of 500.00....before he file lawsuit paperwork and get me arrested at my work.....can he do that? At first i was scared untill i called my lawyers and he told me he can't, its a scam...but i'm still nervous...about to delete my email address and make a new one....he have my last four digit of my social security number.....stupid abu!!!!!

yea its a friggin indian guy posing as a lawyer, stating your being sued, i just had them call me here in pa, and that number is located in LA

This just happened to me 5 min ago and they kept saying i was going to be arrested and taken to court for fraud and sent to prison... IT IS A SCAM. He called himself David Cooper.
