I have been getting phone calls from a FRAUD UNIT using the
following #'s:
301-579-4038(female voice)
301-547-3251(male voice),
301-907-3941(same male voice).
I initially freaked out until my fiance
said it was a scam. Sure enough!
Then I found this site.
I called the phone numbers @ 2am
to give them a taste of their own medicine
and said to never call me again.
Basically, I called them on their using phone fraud
to harass people, which is a federal offense
akin to wire fraud and that I have already
notified the attorney general's office, who
by now have a fix on their GPS position.
Then I wished them a good day and hung up.
They can cheerfully rot in their own hell.

they called me again today three times said i need to call them by noon i didnt chris johnson made this call then two more calls from micheal knight then another call from chris johnson telling me it was sent to my county good luck never borrowed money from this place i guess they dont care if the police call them or not

i got a call yesterday telling me the same thing went to my local police department they called them wouldnt answer the officer left a message and told them to call him they didnt officer told me it was a scam he told them not to call me to send me a letter today they left me a message telling me i need to have money and contact them by noon or i was going to be prosecuted didnot call them back 301-830-6076

they keep calling and leaving messages. I just save all of the voicemails to send to the FTC, attorney general, fbo, etc. I saved the number as "scam" on my phone and set the ringer/vibrate to silent.

Now they are calling from 301-830-6076.  Yesterday it showed Unknown Name and today shows as Fraud Unit. I have reported to everyone I can (FTC, etc).  I can only suggest you all do the same.

I just got the same call from these people saying I owe them money from a payday loan. I hung up and waited then called them from a blocked number and gave them a few choice words.

Tell them to take a # and get in line ha ha ha !

some people will go to any length to get money it is crazy !!!

I just got the same call with a threat that an affidavidt was being uploaded and federal charges were being filed against me for borrowing money and not paying it back...and now theft charges were being filed.  I didn't let them get to the point of letting them offer me the chance to pay them because I told them that this was BS and they could file whatever charges they wanted.  What was scary was they knew at least the last 4 digits of my SS and my birthdate.  I googled the number and here I am.  Thankfully...yet sorry at the same time...I see this is happening to a lot of people and it is obviously a scam.

I received a call from a "Veronica Davis" from Financial Litigation services that indicated that federal check fraud charges are being filed against me.  Evidently I received a lawsuit from the State of New York regarding these people and they are being sued.  I have not responded or will i respond to these allegations.  Glad I researched this to see that is is a scam... They are really ridiculous thinking that I am going to respond and send money for something that no one can provide in writing.  Please

Ignore 'em.  Total scam.

Civil debts are not criminal matters.

Wonder if it was Raye Davies, lead singer of the Kinks.

Another message today.....I received a call yesterday and it showed up on the caller id as Fraud Unit. Left a message said her name was Sharon Burrell (not sure due to it was hard to hear) and she was from Financial Litigation Services and to call back at the same number (301-652-6799) with my attorneys contact information for an affidavit that is being downloaded to the county today.
Received another call today from 301-652-6799, from Veronica James, to call back at 301-710-5355. They do not even say who they are calling for in the message.
My lawyer told me this is a scam.

Just got a call from this number saying I owe Everest cash advance from a loan I took out in 2010. They had my name an old email address that I haven't used in 5yrs and the last four on my social. The thing that drew the red flags is not only have I never gotten a loan from these people but the address they had I haven't lived there during the time frame they claim the loan was taking out, the bank info they had I wasn't with tht bank during the time period, then they claim they have the IP address from the computer I didn't have a computer during this time not did I have internet. They said these are fenoly charges and asked me if I was comfy with handling it on my own or do I want a lawyer and it's unfortunate that I was never informed of the charges so I informed them that I will seek an attorney they responded by saying well you know they have sufficient evidence I said ok I will get a lawyer so they ended the call.

I just received a phone call from these same people .. they had me in tears... they had all of my information ... last 4 of my social.. birthday... everything! SCREW THEM!

I got a call today from this number saying that I owe money to Everest Cash Advance. If I don't pay they are going to take me to court for check fraud. I had a fun time ticking Jasmine off since I would not give her any personal information. She told me before she could give me any details as to who THEY were [who was allegedly taking me to court], I had to tell her if I had an attorney. My response was maybe or maybe not, after a few minutes she decided to hang up since she was not getting what she wanted from me. I called directly to Everest Cash since I know I paid them back, sure enough they had it on file that I was fine and my balance was paid in full and the call I got was a scam.  Financial Litigation Services is a SCAM, so do not give them any personal information!! However, please feel free to taunt them and give them a taste of their own medicine!

Received a called from the number of 3016526799 the caller I'd showed Fraud Unit. Stated that I need to call this number because of affidavit that is  being downloaded to the county today. Got the same call on last week. The person had a different name, saying that she was calling for financial ligation service. I plan to call the attorney general because I get a least one call a week, I guess that's because I don't respond but I getting alittle fed up with them.

lady called me back, I asked for address and it was wrong and she could not tell me where this paper was going to be sent at 3pm.  All she could say was my county and could not give me the wright one.  She got mad and hung up.

"Veronica James" just left me a voice mail too. Wtf. Glad I searched online before I really panicked

I just got a call from these people saying I got a pay day loan and didn't pay it back..they have the last 4 of my ss# and the bank I banked with..I never hot a payday loan with these people and I are saying there is an alfadavid being downloaded..what the hell..I ask him not to call me again!!! What should I if they call again

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Just got a call from 301-652-6799 lady said her name was Killiey and that I browed money from Everest 2 yrs ago and wants me to pin full today or 3 pmts of 578.00 Plus 16.00 today or at 3 pm they were filling check fraud on me.  

Recieved a call but no  message. Caller ID said "Fraud Unit". I knew better than to answer. Going right to the
attorney general's website to file a complaint.

I verified with my attorney that this is a scam.  I forgot to mention...they did not even state who the message was for!

I received a call today and it showed up on the caller id as Fraud Unit. Left a message said her name was Sharon Burrell (not sure due to it was hard to hear) and she was from Financial Litigation Services and to call back at the same number (301-652-6799) with my attorneys contact information for an affidavit that is being downloaded to the county today.

They have called several times threatening me that I had to pay 500 to 800 dollars by end of the day or clerk would be forwarding warrant to my county. I asked for more information also asked which county she couldn't answer either question. I told them to please send me something in writing they refused.
Then two weeks later the calls started again.
It's scary to think they scam people every single day

They wanted money or they said the were going to file a affidavit on behalf of a victim.... They are In Maryland...... I have never been anywhere near Maryland!!!! I told the to go ahead and file it.

I got a call from this number saying that I borrowed money in 2010 from Everest. They want 1,120 from me. If I don't pay they are going to make an example of me for collateral check fraud. She tried to make me say that I will take care of the charges today. It is getting irritating to me because I work at night and they call waking me up out of my sleep. This time her name is Kiley Rivers. May be spelled wrong but this is what she said.

I was informed to call the attorney generals office on them.
