My number was a completely different number. It was 309-200-0522. And Al Smith called my job about a loan with USCASHNET, which is a company i have yet to hear about. I am 19 years old and i have never taken or received any loans for as long as i have lived. When i called back a SAM answered the phone and stated, "law firm." ----He did not stated the name of the law firm, that bothered me but i continued with the call. He went on to say thatn he couldn't give may any information and he transferred me to someone who was suppose to help me but instead they person was extremely dsirespectful and i couldn't understand most of the things he was saying.

They told me i owed $349, and that was with the late fee and interest rate. They also stated that the loan was for $200. I asked for the name of their company and the stated Dodds Law Firm and Legal Associates.

When searching on google, using the false inforamtion they gave me, i cam across the The Dodds Law Firm, PLS which is in AZ, and the number above is a IL number. So i call them, they then directed me to Terry Dodds, an IL law firm. So of course i contacted him and we dicussed the matter. He stated that he has had two calls already and that the actually filled a report witht the bloomington il police department. He advised that i call them as well and i did. They directed me to my local police department and asked they file an assist other agency report.


They numbers aren't the same but i am damn sure these are the same damn ppl with that THICK a** accent that nobody understands.

Today I received a call from an "attorney" stating I had taken out a loan in 2008, and had not paid it back.  He stated that since he was kind hearted and wanted to help me settle this matter out of court.  He said he had my name and social, but wouldn't confirm social.  He then tried to get me to tell him information to pay this amount that I didn't owe.  Does anyone know who this is, and how they get our information?

Got v-mail from 215-586-3579 - same as the rest of the folks - officer blah, blah, blah with a seriously foreign accent - criminal charges, call back immediately etc. - total fraud - will call my local police dept if it happens again and play the vmail this jack*** left.

My partner has been getting threatening phone calls from a bunch of yayhoo's obviously from Africa (their accents), since June 2009.  It's the same theme that most of you are reporting.  They claim he got a direct deposit to his account in November 2007 or was it December 2007 or was it January 2008 (they can't get their story straight, it changed each time they called) for some amount of money, anywhere from $250 to $500.  He has checked his bank statements and no such deposit was ever made, other than the ones he made personally.
When asked to provide proof that the loan was made, they tried to intimidate him by calling him a deadbeat and a liar and asking: "Don't you want to do the right thing and pay this debt back?"  To date, they have never provided any proof of any loan.
At first he thought these were legitimate calls and after I got involved, I pointed out that this was clearly a scam and stop answering or returning their calls. They continue to call and e-mail him; but the quantities have diminished considerably, since he doesn't respond to them anymore.
They had his bank account number, so immediately I had him close that account and open a new one, a hassle for sure; but worth the effort.  Thank God they never got a chance to "drain his account"!!  I also had him subscribe to one of the ID protection services, just in case they tried to do something evil in that respect.
They also have the phone number where he works and yesterday he got a phone call from 215-586-3579 from an officer identifying himself as: Officer Black (how appropriate) Thompson and to call him back immediately.
Now he knows not to respond to any calls that he doesn't recognize either the person's name or phone number. When he comes home we "Google" the number to see if it's legit or not (thank God for Google!!) That's how we found this forum.
I hope somebody can set up a "reverse sting" on these jackals and shut down their operation once and for all!!  They are terrorists of the mental sort!!

Officer Harris just called me from Pa. saying if someone didnt call them back by 5:30 today them and I will be arrested LOL I tell ya they never learn

The same thing is happening to me. "Officer Ben Davis" with the Bureau of Criminal Identification or the Pennyslvania Department of Justice, called my job and told my boss he needed to speak with me regarding a leagal matter. When I got on the phone I told him I would not speak with him at work but that he could give me his number and I would call him back shortly. He told me I had to call within an hour as the file was set to go to court at that time. When I called back he explained to me that I had received funds from uscashnet in the amount of $200.00 and did not pay back. He told me since he believed I was a "genuine" woman he would give me the opportunity to pay these funds back if I did so right at that time. He was asking for $487.00. When I told him I would mail a check he said that the funds had to be paid by a credit or debit card. When I told him I didn't have either he told me to go to Western Union on Moneygram to pay the funds back. This is a scam. They are incredibly unprofessional and their accents make it very hard to understand them. When you call them they do not answer the phone as if they are a business of any sort. This is not how creditors would come to you if their case was legit and these people are unwilling to send you any documentation to verify what they are saying. I have gone to the police and been told that unfortunately they cannot do anything because no actual crime has been committed. These people are threatening and will continue to call you. I told him our calls at work are recorded and I was taking the recording to the police department since I explcitly told him not to call me anymore.

some1 called me on friday says calling from i, alady called Anjela,she is just a PIM,A f***er

Hey guys, I received the same phone calls, a african or Indian guy with a heavy thick accent, threatening me, blah blah, report the numbers to the police dept., BBB, FTC, and secret service, also go to ripoffreports and google US Bant National or legal affidavit office and you will plainly see its ALL A SCAM. Don't send them any money, they will try to scare you into wiring them money but just tell them you know they are fake and they will be shut down by Interpol.  They use several different names and numbers and they will call them selves police offiers and give you phony badge numbers.  Don't believe a word that comes out of their crappy mouths. They need to get a job or get out of their little tents and grow some food to feed their hungry country.

I Knw dis is fake so stop calling me and harrising me.

I have been getting calls at work and my husband has on his cell phone it comes up at out of area. They are very hard to understand they say they are from BCI Bureau of Crime Indentification saying that I received a payday loan in February and that if i dont pay it back i will be arrested when i asked them to send me proof that i received a loan and told them i would send them proof that i did not receive a loan they told me they could not send me anything in black and white i hung up on them. They called my work again today they cant say my name correctly nor can you understand what they say, my co worker pretended to be my lawyer after they passed me off to someone else, that made them mad they hung up on him after giving us a phone number of 941-548-1520 which is a Florida number, and called me back immediately yelling at me threatening to arrest me. They have my social security number address and they even had my debit card information from my work, which i had turned off. They gave me the names of Officer Frank Harris and Officer Mike Black and since they can hardly speak english its really fishy. I am reporting this to the police.

I just got the same sort of thing but my number came from 707-278-4083.  I didn't talk to them as I just don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.  A person calling himself "Neil"  said I was being called about an outstanding debt and that I should call back immediately or have my attorney call as I was soon going to be arrested.  If I choose not to call back then he wished me good luck in jail.  What bogus stuff is this?
I would guess that call originated in India from the accent,

Same calls with new numbers, 315-496-1322 or 315-452-1799 from Paul Smith. Very thick accent regarding US CASH NET OF $350.00 which was never received.Supposedly, US CASH NET is under the PAYDAY PLUS umbrella. These calls are threatening prosecution for fraud in the courts. Paul Smith claims that he works for Clyde Legal Associates in Brooklyn, NY, and can be reached at 315-452-1799, when we spoke on 1/6/2011. He uses 315-496-1322 for his threatening messages. Whenever you press them for information that they should have, they take any information that you give to dispute their claim to use when they call again. Their must be some law that is being violoated.

Someone from this number called my sister saying he was officer Harris and left a message that he was calling regarding a legal matter and that she  needed to call officer Frank Harris for legal counsel Ron & Cosman (could not understand name of counsel for sure due to thick accent)

Call officer Frank Harris at (215) 586-3579

If she did not call there would legal ramifications for her personally and her job!

She called him back within a couple of hours and asked for Frank Harris (not officer Harris) He got on the phone and asked why she was calling.
She said "I am returning your call"
He asked again why se was calling.
She suggested that he should check his records as he had called her.
He went to "pull file"
He said that she was a reference for me -she said OK I asked why he was calling her and she said that she was aware of his false claims against me and that he should proceed with caution as I am seeking legal counsel.   she also suggested that he better never call me her with any type of threats to her personally or her job (as he indicated on his voice mail)   He was trying to scream over her...  Then he just hung up.

This is the number used by a guy with what I would have considered a Cuban assent, not Indian.  Said they were part of Secret Shopper, Perfect Choice Ltd, CO.   Long story short, HUGE scam around paying you to shop for them and send in reports on different companies.  What they are really doing is issuing FAKE POST OFFICE MONEY ORDERS, which you cash and one of your tasks is to wire money to other people.  The problem is that your bank eventually figures out that the Money Orders are fake and you owe ALL the  money back to the bank.  We got burnt by this, but less than we could have been -- only because we have been super conservative.  I have submitted police reports.....

please tell me what to do i submitted a comment about a man calling himself officer frank harris and saying that i owed money to a payday loan advance that i know nothing about.  my email address is donny6171@cox.net.  please help. thank you

someone named officer frank harris called my phone saying that i had taken a loan out to a company that i know nothing about.  He said that i had until 5:30 p.m. to come up with $375.00 or that i would be arrested.  He also said that the company had filed three charges against me.  He said that he was calling from the City of Dallas, Texas with the Department of Justice.  He also said that he wanted me to go to a Moneygram and send him $150.00 by 09/01/2009 and $150.00 in the next fifteen days.  Like I mentioned before, I do not remember any money being deposited in my account from a barnone Cash advance .  He also said because of my age he would just forget $45.00.  I do not know what to do

Identified themselves as a Federal Investigator and stated one of my employees had warrants pending on three charges so in order to prevent my employee from being arrested I gave out the phone number.

received a call from a person referring to himself as "Officer James Brown with the Department of Justice." and was told that i owed money from a payday advance but they would give me no additional information on who received the money.  I was told that this call was a warning and if I did not pay them money the police would be picking me up tomorrow at 11:30 a.m.

215-586-3579, sokme one from this number called my job and said they where from the US Crimer suspect Department, and that it was a very serious matter to call them back.  They left this message with a fellow employee.

I received a call from Tina Walker. When I called back she had me talk to a officer Gray. They gave me a case number and then said I owed money. They used a lot of legal terms but when I wound not give my debit over the phone he said I would have to go to court. They had a strong accent and were upset when I would not give my information. I Do think it is a scam. The said the company was FIE I had a hard time understanding them.

Got a call saying this was Officer Syndey.  Thick accent.  Left a message that there were about to be 3 things added to a police record and this was a legal matter that I should call them back.  When I got the receptionist on the phone she said whose calling, I said, McDonald, give me ext 336 I need to speak to Officer Syndey.  She came on the line, this is Syndey.  I said no you said you were Officer Syndey are you impersonating an officer because that is a felony offense.  She asked me for a case number, I told her I do not have a case number you called me and I am returning your call due to you said I had several things about to be added to a record that I had no ideal about.  She hung up.

I have received several calls from 215-586-3579 also identifying themselves with 347-756-4063. They have threatened my family or any one who has answered the phone where I reside, even my children. How cold is that? They always leave insulting remarks at the end of their messages, and sometimes call back multiple times a day. I can never get the name of the law firm they are supossedly calling from, the accent is always very thick, and they seem to be able to bypass the do not call list. So far, they have not indicated what agency the are calling about, just that it is a legal matter and I have to call them back with my attorney's information. I have heard from Nancy, Peter, and Frank. I am actually considering seeking legal counsel as well as contacting my local police department.

husband and i keep recieveing threating calls from theses people wanting money for a loan we never took out they are saying they are federal agents and if we don't give them money they are taking us to federal court we are tired of getting harrassing phone calls from them what do i do my e mail is buchananracing355@yahoo.com thanks

Received call from Tina Walker identifying herself with Federal Investigation Authority.  She said I needed to contact her immediately regarding a legal matter or have my attorney contact her.  The call came through the call intercept feature I have with Verizon, but the number to contact her was 215-586-3579.  She even contacted two friends that I have, in the past, listed as references on loan applications.  This is fraud.

I received a call from 239-362-9617 and the person left a message identifying themselves as Nancy Jones from either FIT or FIA.  It was hard to understand parts of her message due to her very thick accent.  She was looking for my friend who had apparently put me down as a reference on something.  The number she left for my friend to call back was 215-586-3579.  At the end of her message she told me to have a lowsy day!  And that my friend can not ignore this phone call.  Who ever these people are they are unprofessional.  I called the number and spoke to the woman and told her I would be contacting my local police regarding her message and reporting her to the appropriate federal authorities as well.  Of course she was very polite at that point.  Whoever they are if they call you, be careful and record what they say to you.
