So I just talked to "David" from this place (don't know if that's his real name but he finally broke down when I called him on every imaginable number that I could find on the internet for this scam). And he told me what the gig is.  This is a SCAM, they admit it, they harass people and eventually people give in with their checking account information, credit card information, more personal information, you name it.  He broke down and told me this after I used 3 phones and called every number that I could locate for them repeatedly until they wanted ME to leave them alone.

But it's like what normal collection calls do, they provide lots of harassment to put pressure on you to make it so you leave them alone.  We have laws in this country though that you can't make up claims that aren't true when doing a collection.  Clearly, these people do, so it's quick to figure out that this is off-shore.

For me?  I have time on my hands so I kept calling them back.  They claim they are in the UK.  I was honest with him that collection companies in the US usually aren't even this harsh with their harassment, so I thought their scam quickly unravels.  But their initial claim to me is that they are from a payday loan place.  I have applied and used online payday loans in the past, and now I won't because clearly that's how they got my information.  But it's interesting... he's very offended when I called him "Indian" but ended up laughing when I called every number I could find to call them.  This would be a great 20/20 story or newsmedia story if someone had a blog.

At the end of the call, this "David" invited me to call him back so that he could explain more.  I doubt I'll call him back at this point, as he leveled with me that it's a scam.

Here's how to unravel them for the reader who is reading this:
- call them on every number you can find for them on the internet.  They are at:
714.441.8691
213-995-3041
914-373-7038
(at least).  You can find even more numbers to call them by looking further online.

When you get a call from them (or anyone claiming they represent an attorney) demand to get their BAR number.  If the attorney's office won't give it to you, they probably aren't an attorney.

If they hangup on you, do what I did.  Keep calling them back with every number you can and be relentless.  Unfortunately, since this is some offshore place, there's not much that the local or state police can do.  The Federal authorities can do something if it's a country where extradition is possible, and it's easy to get a US number with a vonage box these days, so it's not hard for offshore people to do this scam.  I recommend to warn your friends and relatives but also BE RELENTLESS BACK.  Keep calling every number you can find for them.  When they hang up on you, call them back.  Spend a 1/2 hour of your life making their life miserable until they tell you what's going on. By pressuring them in return, my hope is that they will find that it's not worth doing this scam and go onto other criminal things that they do.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE.

Lastly, this "David" said he was doing this (when I simply asked him "why?" -- he retorted quickly that he hated Americans.  I asked him "why?" but he couldn't give me a good answer. He used some strong language about Americans I won't do justice here to repeat.  Just be vigilant everyone, be very vigilant.

Claims I owe money

A John Robinson with a very heavy Indian accent from Legal Services left a message on my Voicemail from this number 2133302341 stating that a lawsuit had been filed against me under section 9 and chapter 19 and that I needed to call him back at this number before this lawsuit is delivered to my home and they will visit me at my place of employment (I don't have a job). He said I should call back before this case goes to "courthouse", then he said, "don't force me to take legal action against you. Thank you have a safe day."
So I have a friend call the number from a different phone and now it's a "non-working number." What the heck is going on? They also said something about their company being called ACS.

Claimed a lawsuite was being filed against me section 9,19 and that it would be executed tomorrow. They knew my address and my bosses name. They said I owed money and needed to call them back at this number. What do I do?? They also called my work place and harrassed my employer!

They called all week and when I finally picked they accused me of going online for a payday loan of $400 and then saying that i would be put into custody over this weekend and go to court on monday. They wish to settle this out of court. I never did a payday loan. im good with my money. Scammers!!
She also said that she was an officer calling from a law firm. She wouldnt sy what lawfirm.

They've been calling me too for months. Im so sick of it and I have no idea who they are!

They left a message at my job on a Friday evening at around 6:47 pm making all kinds threats and accusations. I have no clue who or what this is about!

Claims I owe money also. Taking me to court.

Claiming I owe money.

This person called threathening me saying I owed him money.  That I will be sued.

I responded to a call recently, 02/16/2011, regarding the same number you guys have been getting calls from.  They were calling a doctor's office and saying sexually vulgar things to them.  I attempted to call but it says it is disconnected.  After about the 10th try someone (with a think Indian accent) answered the phone and hung up when I advised them they were facing telephone harassment charges.  Still trying to figure out who they are.... DON'T GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!!  I know it goes without saying but you would be surprised how trusting some people are.

I just got an irate message on my voicemail from probably the same indian accent gentleman.  He was sort of threatening too.  Thank god I did a search to find others like yourself that have gotten the same sort of treatment.  Yikes!

The same thing happen to me on 02/14/ 2011 who is this people that have some of my information. What can we do about it?

Received the call 2/14/2011 same thing except was a female claiming to be an officer telling me to call back or legal actions would be taken and was told that they would come and arrest my manager and I.

I received a call from this number today.  A man with a heavy indian accent advised me he was an officer calling re: criminal matter.  I was at work, and had the call transferred to my desk.  I was then transferred to his supervisor, who stated that he was from CashNet and that I owed money.  I responded that I had never borrowed any money and didn't know what he was talking about & asked who he was. He stated an officer. The scary part of this is that he had my name, address, last 4 of my ss# and was trying to get me to confirm his information!   I asked what jurisdiction he weas in?  He didn't understand, or chose not to answer, but did say he was calling from Dallas, TX.  He began to argue with me and insisted that I owed money, and that a lawsuit had been filed and I would have to appear in Court and talk to the Judge.  I work at a law office, and informed him of that and asked for some type of documentation of the allegations.  He raised his voice and began telling me that I had to listen to him, and that I had to pay.... he would not answer any of my questions. I hung up on him.    Later in the afternoon, a lady called asking for me - advising that she was an Officer of the Law Dept.  She also stated I owed money, when I said I did not and had not borrow any money, she became irate and insisted that I listen to her.  She also would not answer any questions I had, so I hung up on her also.  She called back no less than 20 times insisting that I agree to pay funds... my employer, an attorney, actually got on the phone with her and stated she was harassing us and she would call the authorities.  The lady called back twice more than finally quit.

i received a call on sunday (super bowl sunday) stating i needed to go to court with $20,000 dollars because I owed someone money. would not give any info.
