Within 2 mins I had 4 missed calls from a unknown number. Then "911" called me twice I answered the second time they said that they where with the Federal Fraud of the United States and that I was under investagation for fraud for cash advanced and that I was to not speak or use negitive tones with them or the cops would be hear to arrest me. So i let the guy proceed. He didnt say his name but said I had taken a loan out for paydayloans and I did and that when they went to collect the payment it was denied due to insignificant funds. The loan was taken out last december I paid the loan back so I knew it was a scam. He then read my SS # to me and my email and said that under the American Loan Rules I needed to inform my employer or he would, I stoped him right there and told him he was going against fair debt collection and said I needed a validated letter stating the excat amount I owe mailed to me and they have no rights to use my SS# and they are to not contact any family, friend or employer of mine. The guy then said that he will make sure of it that I go prison and never get out and that his atternoy will call me. I told him that they better be ready for mine for False information, fraud, saying they are law inforcement and he then hung up on me. I have yet to receive any calls back....DO NOT LET these people intimidate you!

I got a to call this afternoon from a Deputy/Sheriff James Murphy.  Caller ID came up as Police Dept.  Of course I answered since I was afraid it was an actual call about my children or some type of an emergency.  Immediately, I was told to surrender myself at the Sheriff Department because I owed money, but I could call a Thomas O'Brien with a number of 215-302-3662.  I called Thomas who could speak English just about as poorly as Sheriff Murphy.  He carried on and on and on giving me all of my information from checking account number, address, my place of employment, social security, etc.  I asked him who he represented and what the amount of the debt was for.  He told me I would find out when I went to court.  Again, I asked him for specifics, but he told me he didn't have to tell me when or what amount.  Actually gave me a file number.  He then said, "Are you f****ng dumb?"  I hung up and called 911 and then the non police department along with the Attorney General Office in Oregon.  I was told to ignore and hang up on them because them are scams.  I again, was concerned because of the original number being a police department.  I still had it on caller ID and it went to Umitilla, Oregon Courthouse.  I spoke to their records department and District Attorney who said, they would absolutely not do this and had no idea how their number could be used.  They referred me to their local police department.  They were great!  They took all information and called back twice wanting the names and numbers of these idiots.  If I can find out who is doing this, I will take them to court.  I now have to change my banking information, change my direct deposit to paper, change my phone number, etc.  Any advice?  They are calling over and over and over.  Thanks

These people did the same to me and I was afraid to death because I had actually applied for a loan but had not gotten it they called and it wasn't till after the first call I realized it was complete bs because he rushed me off the phone hung up on me the foreign accents with regional names and how they would change their caller ID to 911 or match mine or even my bosses office line people like this get information by hacking into company billing systems thru calls centers (ex: AT&T call center) shows ur employer address and name

I received a call from(215-606-3428) this dirty Hindus telling me they were FBI agent letting me know that they were going to press charges against me in the Federal Court of New Jersey for an "unpaid cash advanced loan" (loan that i NEVER even applied for) he kept pressuring me to settle for $500 before 10:30am or ill have  FBI agents knocking on my door to take me away.I told em i didnt know FBI agents where collecting debts for companies so he got really angry and told me to watch my tone or he'll have Cops (now cops b4 FBI agents) knocking on my door so i told him to SUCK MY D*CK and he said the cop will be there in 30 i told him to SUCK IT AGAIN then he hung up. Then his partner called me from this number 482-391-2239
againg telling me his name was John Smith from the FBI he had a Hindu accent like the one the called before so i told him i didnt know that the FBI was hiring a bunch of Hindus and that John Smith was a Hindu name so i told him to Suck MY D**ck too and if they called me again i was going to call the real FBI to lock em the F*ck up and that was the last time they called. Bottom Line is a SCAM however i am a little concerned on how they had my name my address and my ssn i guess i gotta get Lifelock or something before this motherf***ers do something with my ssn .

Do not pay anything, they are pure fraud. They like harassing people so you can pay, for you to make it stop do the same to them, start calling them at least 60 times/day and hung up on there face. Do that over and over, do not take anything personal and do not listen to none of there threat and they will sto. I was in your shoe but i am free now

They did the same, I called them back like 60 times a day. Everytime they picked up I will start laughing and tell them they started it and I will finish it for them. They started getting mad, start cursing, everytime they open there mouth I will hung the phone and call them back the next minutes. At the end they stop putting it directly to voicemails and they never called me since. I told them that I will call them at least 50 times/ day so they leave me alone

i know what you are going thru..they have called me several times witth the exact names..david jones..using 911 and even my own work phone number. do you pay them or what. i am afraid i will get fired after so many years of working there..what do we do..

SAYS HIS NAME IS oFFICER jACOB mATHEWS FROM CASHADVANCE USA
HE GIVES YOU A NUMBER SAYING ITS YOUR CASE NUMBER FROM  BUREAU OF CRIME INVESTIGATION.  DONT RESPOND A CASE WILL BE CHARGED AGAINST YOU

Exactly what happened to me yesterday.  A man named Tim Obrien with a heavy African accent called me saying the same thing.  I then called the FBI and my local police department and informed them what was going on.  They said it was a scam and that the police will not arrest yo on a loan.  They also told me to call crimestoppers to inform them of what is going on.  So they are looking into it.  I just cannot believe what people will do to get money out of you.  He was very convincing but noticing how they all had accents and names that did not fit gave me a warning sign.  Do not believe what they are saying and no one will come to your door to put you in jail.

"Officer" Tom O'Brien called me and said he was with the U.S. Government telling me about a fraud with my Social Security number....Said he couldn't give me any details at this time, but if I didn't call him back I would be reported and would either lose my job or maybe even lose the priveledge of my Social Security number or even be put in jail.  O'Brien isn't that Irish....he certainly didn't sound American let alone Irish, very Indian or Chinese, so.......just leave me alone....

Caller ID showed "911" as calling and an "Officer Jones" stated he was going to put me in jail for two years if I did not call him back right away! He called twice in 20 minutes.

Receiving these calls at work, called about 15 times, John Michael and Deputy Paul Harber, total fraud.

there doing the same thing to me . there called payday loans . i never have taken out a loan ever . and im also tring to press charges aginst them

I got received a phone call from this number stating that I was being sued Check Cash USA, and I must settle my account balance by noon to keep my case out of Federal Court. I was first called from another number and asked to call the number listed here. I was given a case number for clarification. These people have my SS number, my name and address. It is obviously a scam intended to scare the hell out of unsuspecting people and make them pay on a loan they do not have. Obviously the money will go into an account over seas where it can't be touched. How can these people be stopped?

if they got imfor by getting into the pay day loan co. they have ALL YOUR INFORMATION because the Information is shared by all pay day companies.dont take it lighty i did . i had to changr all my personally infprmation it get them to stop.

I just received a call from the same "officer".  The call came through on my cell phone as the number "911". He told me that he will have an officer at my house in 20 minutes if I do not pay $658 today! So I asked him what do I owe this money for and he stated for a payday loan for $300. I said first of all, I never took out a payday loan for $300 and second, if the loan was $300, how the heck do I owe $658. He asked me did I have a lawyer and I said can I have your number because I'm on the elevator and if I lose the call I need to call u back. He gave me 215-606-3428. I then said, I will have my lawyer call you in the morning and hung up. Do you know he had the nerve to call back! And the number this time came for my local police station (I called the number back when I hung up). This time he said you just hung up on me, do you know how much trouble you are in. I said officer Obrien, MY LAWYER WILL CALL YOU IN THE MORNING!!!!!!

This person keeps calling saying he is a federal agent name tom o Brian and he has a arrest warrent for my husband.... don't know who this person is but it also came up as a emergency number??????

is the company legit

calls constantly saying his name is Michael or Jacob or Robert .... always a very american name... but clearly his english is lacking..... says is with some crime bureau... from what i can figure it is some payday loan company... and the number can even come up as 911 calling you back....

This person constantly calls me at my job and threating me about getting me fired and  going to jail .He will not stop,no matter what I say to him. Please tell me how I can stop this aggravating person.From his voice he sounds like he is from India ,I can barely understand him.

has any one figured out who this is. they keep calling me over and over saying they are the police and they r goin to put me in jail. i am currently trying to press charges.

I have this creditor that has been calling me at work leaving messages on my phone and threatening me that they will send me to jail also make me lose my job. Asking substantial amount of money being very persistent asking are u sure u have the money. First time his name was frank Harris now he is Brett Jim

They say I'm getting arrested for taking money out of my own account.  what is this about and how do they have all my cell phone, banking and work information?

These impersonaors have been harrassing me since april,they have scammed me out of over 13,000,using scare tactics and still wanting money,wouldn't give me info on the case file,wuld not speak to an attorney,be careful,they have my info.,they should be ashammed,all of what I have read on here has happened to me,they used many different names and numbers such as tom o'brian,james brown,jack brown,etc.

left message on my phone that he was James Brown Dept of Justice and how i could contact him at 215 606 3428 x147 and this is a criminal offense and if i dont respond immediately i will suffer the consequences and i quit listening cuz i already know i didnt commit any type of fraud or a crime so looked on the net to see if anyone else is having problems like this and sure enough

I've been hounded by these people off and on for 5 mos. This week it's gotten ugly. They threatened my life. I've filed a police report, called the FBI and given them all the info, and now have been told to call the Attorney General's office of each state I have a phone number for.

Each time I get a call from these people, all East Indian men with aliases like Jason Bourne, Robert Smith, Franklin Squat (my favorite), I go thru the same spiel. Please send me proof of the debt, tell me who you work for, what is a call back number, etc. They always tell me they work for the Dept of Crimes, or the Infraction Division, and that they don't have to send proof of anything! They also claim they've never called before!!

I've called Cashnet and CashnetUSA. I don't have a loan with them, and they have told me that it's a scam and not to pay these people.

Since Wednesday this week, it's been out of control. They bombarded our switchboard with call after call. The Plant Mgr got on the phone, and the guy still went off. We've contacted our Corporate Security and they're investigating now.

I do urge people to call the FTC, and Attorney General's office in every state they have a phone number for. Also, you can contact your local branch of the FBI and give their Fraud Division the info; phone numbers, etc...

These men are crazy!!!

US National Bank Scammers Still Extorting Hapless Consumers

"US National Bank" is still at it, calling up people and threatening them with jail time unless they pay up for debts they never took out and USNB doesn't own. Here's K's story of how "Harry Wilson" called him up screaming and yelling. But after speaking to a consumer lawyer, K learned what he needed to say to get the extortionist to stop phone-harassing him. You'll learn too after you read the story inside...

first became aware of this company when my sister called to tell me she had been contacted by "Harry Wilson" from the phone number 951-200-3254. He yelled at her on the phone, demanded that she pay him the money I owed immediately or he would use her Social Security Number to take all the money from her bank account and ruin her credit. He would not tell her what her Social Security Number was when she asked. She hung up on him.

I called and spoke to "Ryan Smith", a man with an extremely heavy Indian accent and was told I was going to jail on Saturday if I did not pay immediately. When I asked for verification of this debt in writing, he told me he was not required to provide that and I would go to jail. He gave me a fax number 914-462-3657 to fax my bank account number, debit card number, social security number and mailing address to so he could get payment.

The loan in question was supposedly taken out on 4/13/2007, a full 7 months before I even opened an account with the bank he claimed the deposit was made to. Then he changed his mind and said the deposit was made on 12/04/2007. I checked my bank account statements and no deposits were made to my account on or near that date.

My sister again received 2 calls yesterday from "Harry Wilson" threatening her with jail time if she didn't make me pay them.

I can deal with the threats to myself, as I am well aware they are bogus, but my young nephew took one of the threatening calls yesterday and was understandably shaken and upset over the incident.

I filed complaints with the FTC and with ic3.gov. I talked to a consumer lawyer to find out my rights in this matter. I was terrified at first, as I'm sure many other victims are, but I knew none of this sounded right. I've not always been the most financially responsible person in the world, but I have always repaid my debts. I took notes on everything this man told me, even making him repeat himself to be sure I had the correct information.

Then the bottom-feeder called me at work yesterday to tell me I was going to jail in an hour if I didn't give him my debit card number immediately. I told him in no uncertain terms that this was a scam and I knew it. I detailed for him every step I had taken and the fact that if his harassment of my family and me continued he would cost his company $1000, which is the amount the lawyer I spoke with told me I would be able to get in judgment against USNB.

He started off trying to talk over me and resorted to yelling at several points, but I continued to speak in a calm, forceful voice and eventually he was silent. I told him one more call to my home, my sister or my place of employment would result in my telling the lawyer the law suit was on. He hung up on me.

My sister spoke with my nephew and explained that there are people out there who steal information they have no right to have and this was a case of that happening. She also told him again that when she is not home he is not to answer the phone unless he knows the person calling (they have caller ID).

http://consumerist.com/5086468/us-national-ba ... pless-consumers

I have told them I have reported them to the FBI. They stop for awhile and then call again on a different number and they forget they have already called me. I let them have it again and again. The numbers they use I have been told cannot be traced, due to they call from overseas using a american number and american names. Its ridulous and I am really sick of them. what i have done is find out what company -payday loan- they say are suing me and then call the payday company and let them know. they want the number who called and the name.

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.
