I just received a call from a James Watson from the investigation department that was very unsettling.  He claim that I have a legal matter that he can help me out of and left the above number.  When i tried to call back the number rung about four times and just went silent.  I would not have called but they had my last for digits of my social.  I recieved a similar call last week from the same Indian accent man for another legal matter.  These are definitely scams.

http://consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/09/fdic_debt_collector_scam.html  9/7/2010 -NEWEST CONSUMER ALERT ?SCAMMERS NOW CLAIMING TO BE WITH FDIC

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.

I was left a voicemail from this number and his name was Daniel.  He says he was calling from the Dept of Finance Investigations and that someone I knew had done a fraudelant thing.  My name was listed and I should call back to take care of it or they will come and arrest me.  I was shocked and stunned at what they said.  I had to hear the voicemail several times to just get the number right for his accent.  I wish there was some way to put these people away for good.

OK...I just got a call from these people too.  These are people trying to scam American's out of money.  I decided after this being my 5x by different agencies trying to do this to try a different approach.  I called the 248-289 number back.  I got this foreign woman.  When she started talking I told her that this phone call was being recorded and being sent to the FBI.  I told her that the FBI has already been notified.  She asked me if I was threatening her.  I told her I didn't know what she was talking about.  I just wanted a recorded message of this conversation.  She hung up on me!  So, I decided, screw this, I'm calling her back.  She answered the phone and said, What do you want!  I was like, well we didn't finish our conversation and also to please remember that the phone call was being recorded.  She hung up on me again.  So I called back.  She hung up on me again.  So I called back.  Some man answered the phone.  I stated to him that the call was being recorded.  I asked him where in India they were calling from?  He said my bedroom and hung up on me.  Hmmmmmm...not a wonderful way of talking to someone who owes them money?  In other words people, don't fall for these scams and don't let these idiots walk all over you either.  I had a major crisis and had to take get money fast from these online sources.  Apparently what I found out was that some of these companies sell your information.  THESE ARE SCAMS!  Let them know you know it's a SCAM and whatever you do...DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY!  It really is a shame that we as Americans have to get scammed by these out of the country a***oles.

I received a call from a Richard Hamilton with a thick Indian accent threating me with losing my job and reputation and I will be put behind bars.  I tried calling the number several times and no response, the mailbox is full.  This person even called my job but I had already left for the day.  I do not know who this person is or what company he works for but I am furious that he called my job and then my home and left a threating message.

This happened to me as well, the guy told me I took a payday loan advance for an amount that I didn't, he read me my bank account number!  Scary stuff.  I called the place that I do have a loan with (cash net) and they said that this is happening a lot.  There is a big investigation on them.  I called my local police department and filed a report.  I also told my boss about it because they called my job, too, talking about how I am involved in a criminal investigation. My boss said he hopes the guy calls back because he really wants to let him have it!  I hope the calls stop, but the nice officer said if they don't then he will call them and have a nice chat with them.  He tried to call them while we were on the phone but the number was busy.  DONT GIVE THEM MONEY!  Or any information.  its a national scam that is under investigation.

I to was contacted for a relative on how to reach said person once I started to ask question the person hung up on me.  When  tried to return the call the line seem to continuously be busy so I called from another number and asked to speak to a Manager the man named Daniel Fox stated that he was a manager I said his behavior was rude, unprofessional and I wanted to speak to another supervisor and he hung up the phone on me once again.  When I stated I would call the proper athorites the phone was hung up in my face for the final time scam is key when dealing with these people if you cannot even stay on the phone and verify public knowledge information.

I have received several calls from these people.  Very broken English.  All East Indian. One claimed they were from the Department of Law in California, the most recent (yesterday) from Naomi Brooks of American _____ Investigations (I could not understand the full name).  They were trying to collect a debt from a friend of mine and wanted to know how to get in touch with her.  I asked several questions, got no answer and asked if they were based in the United States. They said, of course, they were.  I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that I WAS speaking to a supervisor. I gave no information to them and told them I would report them to proper authorities and advised them not to call me again. The last call was asking me to have my friend return their call, as they were trying to reach her. This is simply a scam that turns into harrassment......

a fake call back number? if, indeed, they are a collection agency?

this Daniel whatever-his-last-name with a thick indian accent who was obviously reading from a script called me and said he was calling on behalf of the Financial Crimes Investigation (fake company) and gave me the number above as a contact number. I told him I'd have my attorney return a call to him once i got all the info (by mail). I called the number just to make sure I could get back to him and it goes straight to dead tone (dials, goes quiets, cuts off). I asked him while on the call if he was representing a law firm, he said yes, so i asked him which one? he said it was Financial Crimes Investigation...i told him that is not a legitimate "law firm". Asked him what state he was calling from, he said Michigan (which the 248 area code matches) so i asked him why was he bothering to call me in Florida? When i argued to get the "real" name of this "law firm" and their true, verifiable, contact info, he just hung up.

I have received calls from this number. I was stupid the first time and did as they said. What clued me in was when they took money from my account after the date that I arranged. I called the number again to get the address and that didn't work. The lady that answered wanted my name, I gave just my first name and still got no answer to my question about name and address of the business. I have done some research on the internet and found the number to in Auburn Heights, MI. Still trying to find the address. I called my local police dept and filed a report.

I just received a call from an individual claiming to be Daniel Rogers. Over a month a go I got threatening phone calls from a gentleman claiming to be an attorney for a Law firm with the name of John Peterson, Alex Wheeler, and several different alias. This gentleman by the name of John Peterson harrassed me at work, threatened my job and told me that the case was going to court that next week and that they were going to garnish my wages and make sure I lost my job. My administration where I work is aware of the phone calls as this individual has continously harrassed the receptionist where I work. The numbers all have been unlisted and if this was a repitable company I would have been allowed to have the name and number of the business. I spoke with an attorney and in order to file harrasment charges I needed a name and address and when I asked this individual for the name and address of the business he would not give me the information. he refused to allow me to pay by money order (although i do not owe them any money for a payday loan on line as I have never taken one out over the internet) he refused and told me they need my name, ssn, and debit/credit card number faxed to a number. I refused and then he gave me a routing number and checking account number to a bank. the number they gave me was based out of california, the fax was based out of washington and the bank account was out of new york. I am by far not a private investigator but this gentleman has messed with the wrong person. i have filed a police report with my local agency, i went to the local check cashing places and received information to call a 800 number to report payday loan fraud. I have called the better business bureau in my local area and I will not stop if they continue. My suggestion to all individuals who get a call from someone ASK QUESTION? Such as when the loan was taken out? who the original creditor was? what a phone number and address of the original creditor is? what is the name, number and address of the individual who is contacting you is? A creditor has to provide you with certain information and give you time to respond. No creditor has the right to harrass, threaten, use force to collect. If suspect you have been the victim of fraud NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY.

I was given this phone number to contact.

Nancy Ken from American Credit Services Legal Department gave me this number.
I believe its supposedly a number for "US CASH NET" who is filing a claim for hundreds of thousands of dollars that I owe them. Also for some violation with my local bank.

I have not tried to call it yet due to it seems to be a scam!
