they call me like 4 times a day......

This is a scam number trying to get you to pay on a fake pay day online loan and try to scare you into paying. don't give any information out and report it to your bank and attorney general for your state.

Asking for payment on Cash Advance Loan which I did not take out.

They called a friend of mine last week, then yesterday they called me, and today several times, i called them back from a land line and they stated they are a payday loan place and are trying to collect from someone who used me as a reference and threatened me. I just reported them to the police and am having a dispatch sent out to take my report.

This company called me several times , I sopke with them and they said that they were charging me with  check fraud due to un unpaid pay day loan. It scared me though because they had all of my info including my social I am reporting them to the credit bureaus. The better business bureua and the state attorney general. Please do not fall for this scam. protect yourself!!

They are calling me about a dozen times a day on my cell phone that I already don't have alot of minutes on to begin with, so I told them to stop calling me on that number and hung up. So now they are leaving me threatening voicemails saying that since I hung up on them and not returning their messages, they are going to file a lawsuit against me and make sure I lose my job.  I'm glad I read the comments on this website before I got scared enough to call them back and give them my bank info.

This # called me several times.

some body is calling to my friend and they are telling to pay 1000 $$ and they are telling if u will not pay then u will be in legal matter,,,,,,,so now i m sure that this is SCAM............

Yeah okay "Brenda" I got news for you..the whole world knows you're a criminal. The Better business bureau has just issued an alert about phony debt collectors. Let's see if you fit the bill: bogus company with fake address, check. Spoofed phone number routed through a call center in India, check. Stolen information used to terrorize consumers into paying fake debts, check.  Fake American name, yep. Form b***s*** "response" to posters on 800 notes matches those from "Gary","Dean", and "Mike", among others.   Please, turn yourself in.  Oh yeah, they don't serve samosas in American prisons..especially not the supermax one you belong in.

The legal way is for you to send written notice by mail.

This is a scam! I have never taken a payday loan from any company nor has any money been deposited from his company tom y acct! That is what they told me. I asked numerous times for the info to be mailed to me and they said that the courts will send me the info, but they could not even tell me my county!I am taking necessary steps and reporting them. I am upset bc they had all of my personal information which is being changed. Please take necessary steps and report this company. I know not this many people on several websites can  not have the same opinion about a company and it true.Its amazing how they say many peopel took loans out several months almosta year ago and they are just now contacting you. THIS IS A SCAM! Once again people this is a scam do what you have to do and report this company and protect yourselves. If you put your foot down they will leave you alone. And Brenda I dont know if you work for this comoany or not but Im sure you are a scam artist as well.

Hello Everyone,

This is Brenda,We understand your concern where you are coming from.give us your number and your mailing address with your file number so that we can send you each & every documentation which you are looking for.

Getting call plenty of times in couple of minutes,Yes why? Because its very panicky if a person is taking a loan & not paying back moreover blaming the loan company cant even resist, if you guys are so sure that you haven't taken any loan,why you all are afraid to deal this in Legal way.

With Regards

Brenda

These a***s call me at work 2-3 times a day.  Finally i sat there for 2 days straight and called them.  I would do stupid crap like try and have phone sex with them.  Then i would impersonate them and say the same crap there messages they leave say.  and I would just hit Redial it really was some funny s***.  These are dumb a***s and if you fall for it you are one to.  Just call them and harass them the same they do for you.  I would give them my work phone number so they new WHO they were talking to.  But that is it.  I called my bank and filed a police report and also did a fraud alert on my credit report.  Just in case to protect myself.  Finally the last time I called I gave them my number and the lady said oh s*** and hung up.  LOL

These people are calling about an unpaid payday loan. I have done payday loans over the internet. I did have trouble paying, but I did get it resolved. They have been paid.
These people identifies them as something Smith. He is very hard to understand. He said that if I don't take care of this, there will be an affidaved filled. I have recordings on my phone and 2 phone numbers, 310-421-2005, 213-784-2046 and a male something Smith calling. I received a call on Friday (6-24-09) and called back wondering what this was. The lady told me I was being recorded. She proceeded to tell me that it an atemp to collect a debt. I asked who the company was, then she wanted to agure about me not taking care of my debts. Everything went so fast, she gave me an 1 hr to get a hold of my lawyer to take care of this business. That was at 5:00pm, then if I didn't call her back, there would be a affadavit file and I would owe $5500.00 or my wages would be garnessed. Then I received two calls today 6-27-09. She wouldn't give me an address either. I don't know what to do. This is scarey for me.

I got the same harrassing phone calls this morning and at first said I could not talk, then that if they could please remove this number since it was my work number. Then they started calling and harrassing my best friend and they told her it was a legal matter against me. So later this afternoon I called and spoke with the Famous ROSY Yant. That I have three charges against me like check fruad and theft by deseption and another. That I can settle this out of court and pay $900.00 or get an attorney and pay over $5500.00 I kept asking questions and for her to repeat things since I couldn't understand her. She then started getting mad when I ask for mailed copies or if she can fax this to me. Rosy said no only an attorney. Then I asked where this was being filed she told me in Missouri but couldn't tell me the county. Then I told her that was public information that's when Rosy said that if I asked another question she would file for them to procecute me and I would have to pay over $5500.00 plus four other fees. Plus they she also told me this money of $400.00 was deposited into my account in December of 2008. From a payday online loan from Cash Advanced and it was from US National Bank in California in Las Angelos County. One, I called my bank because I knew I didn't do this in December of 2008. They verifed that I had no such deposits of $400.00 or Cash Advance from US National Bank. They have a lot of my personal information. I am reporting this to the US Attorney General and my state and one else I need to report this too.My best friend told them to quit harrassing her and her boyfriend was a cop which is true,plus that she was going to the better business Bueruer however you spell it. they they quit calling her but now she's mad at me. I'll never so online again,plus I need to make it up to my best friend who did help me in getting a number and looked it up on google which lead me to this that it was a scam.

Fake Debt Collectors ? Terrorizing Consumers

Attorney General Darrell McGraw took the extraordinary step today of warning the public about a band of scam artists making threats to consumers who allegedly obtained Internet payday loans in West Virginia and across the nation. The consumers they threaten never obtained a loan at all or paid it off years ago.

Internet payday loans are short-term loans or cash advances, usually for 14 days, made over the Internet via interactive web sites and secured by an agreement authorizing debits of the loan and all fees owed from the consumer?s checking account. These loans typically charge interest rates ranging from 600-800 APR and are unlawful in West Virginia.

The scam artists, who speak English with a foreign accent, call themselves ?U.S. National Bank,? ?Federal Investigation Bureau,? ?United Legal Processing? and numerous other phony names. They refuse to disclose real names and addresses and are believed to be operating ?off the grid? from homes, automobiles, or from off shore locations or foreign countries, including India. Since the scammers have kept themselves purposely well hidden, thus far no law enforcement agencies have succeeded in locating or shutting them down.

The scammers typically pose as law enforcement officers, investigators, lawyers, and bankers and threaten consumers that they will be arrested for ?bank fraud? or other fictitious crimes unless money is wired immediately. They simultaneously scare and confuse consumers by using meaningless legalese gobbledygook phrases such as, ?We are downloading warrants against you? or ?We are filing an affidavit against you.? Consumers who don?t immediately fall for the scam are warned, ?Only God can help you now.?

The scammers almost always call consumers at work several times a day, and tell their supervisors, ?Your employee has committed fraud and is about to be arrested.? Such threats have proven unsettling even to the most savvy consumers and employers who suspect the calls are fraudulent.

Attorney General McGraw stated, ?Ordinarily my office protects consumers from fraudulent activities by seeking injunctions in court. But legal action cannot be taken until the scam artists can be located. Even then, it is unlikely that the persons behind the fraudulent calls and extortionist threats would obey a court order. In this case, the consumer?s best defense is to be armed with the knowledge of the scam so that all demands for money can be resisted, despite the false but scarey threats of arrest.?

McGraw added, ?Because the fraudsters make a special point of calling consumers repeatedly at work, employers must understand that the consumers are innocent victims of a criminal enterprise and cannot stop the calls from coming. I also wish to assure the citizens of West Virginia that my office will continue to do everything possible to locate and shut down the outlaw debt collectors.?

More information about this fraudulent debt collection scheme is available at the Attorney General?s website, www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam. Any consumers who have been threatened by these persons or wish to file a complaint about another consumer matter may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 1-800-368-8808, or by obtaining a complaint form from the Attorney General?s web site.

It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.
A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.
This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.
Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )
Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.
This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.
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:

These folk called my place of employment.  An oriental person left a message saying that I owed money and needed to return this call to them, and if I did not they would be sending me to court.  The gentleman then bidded me good luck and said after today he could not help me.  When I called the number, I was asked to leave a message and then told that the mailbox was full.  I would appreciate never having to hear from this person again....especially at my workplace.

My coworker is getting called from these people too! They told her that she owes money too!  Same name, Rosey. Told her she had to go to court in CA too!  When asking for info, they stated that they were on recorded line.  then I heard a beep. When I asked if they had just begun the recorded line, she said yes and became more polite.  Moments earlier she was yelling at me and telling me to get an attorney or I was going to be picked up by the police at work.  DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO... DO NOT CONFIRM IT.. Who do I report it to???? Please help!  They said that they will call me every minute from now on.

Received call from 213 784 2046 with very much the same detail, confirmed that they had my information (all of which was out of sequence...my wk number was my Social Security number.  Rosy claimed that I received and owed $$ to CashUSA (a payday loan) she insisted that I give her a credit or debit card number and that she could not talk any longer unless I gave her the information. (they are only allowed to spend up to 1 hr on phone with you in regards to the claim) She also stated that I needed to contact my lawyer or have him call her direct.  She could not spend any more time or detail in regards to claim against me other than It will cost me over $5,000 if it were to go to court in CA. Was Willing to settle for less than $1000 If I did not settle, I would also be arrested for a criminal act.

They are criminals and there is NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO YOU. Get a whistle and blow it in their ear EVERY TIME.

They called my number 3x a day going on the 3rd week. I reported them. Is there anything else I can do. They have started calling from unavailable numbers now.

got a call saying the same thing and that i owe them money but would give me and proof of why i owe them money and that they could only give me info if it went to a lawyer and not to "waiste my hard earned money" and to sellte out of court cause "Hudson and Associates Law Firm" has lots of money and i will lose and that id have to go to court in California!! ITS A SCAM dont fall for it just contact the federal trades comission and your local da's office and do a fraud alert on your credit!!!

This number is being used by a group saying they are from Hudson & Associates Law Firm.  This same group was using 213-995-3052 in April.  Do not confirm or give this group any information.
