I too just received the same rude call with very threatening information.  I asked for details, where they were located, who they represent, who was this loan for, etc. My questions enraged the caller who then told me that he will not provide me any additional information that he would see me in court and that I would be arrested at my job today!!!  Who are these people and how do we get them STOPPED!!!!!

We receive calls from this number at work asking for specific employees by name. The caller tells us he (name he gave me was Jay Wilson) is from a Law Firm and it is very important the he speaks to this employee. We do not allow personal calls at work so we have to tell the caller we can take a message, but the caller gets very rude!

These people keep calling my work saying that they are from a law firm.  They call 10 times a day.  They are very rude and I don't know who they represent because all they say is that they are the law firm.

These crooks use caller ID spoofing and/or VoIP accounts to disguise their real location. Most of the calls originate in India, but the caller ID  incorrectly shows the call as coming from an American area code. So doing a reverse search on these numbers won't do much good.  For example, a reverse search shows that 310-499-9984 is a land line located in Beverly Hills, CA. But the call, as I said, really came from a sweatshop phone back in India.  But these Indian creeps are making these calls on behalf of scammers based in the United States.

See my message above from June 20 for information on who these crooks are and how to report them to federal and state law enforcement.

I received a call on my answering machine on 7-11 also from (310) 499-9984 from someone that spoke with a heavy Asain or middle eastern accent telling me to call them and if I ignored the message that they wished me good luck.

But the way they said it was in a threatening manner. They never Identified themselves. Also I have tried looking up this phone number to find out who it belongs to but have been unable to.

Does anyone have any means of looking it up without having to subscribe to one of the reverse phone listing companies?

Thanks

Ok so I am seeing that you all are getting the same thing just from another number that is close to the one that showed up on my caller id. The number there is 310-499-9984. So I guess they got hip to everyone realizing it was a scam and changed the number by one digit! Ha!

Anyways, really simple for me. I just don't answer the phone anymore. Everyone who knows me knows that they must leave a message if it's that important. If they don't then I don't think twice about who called.

Update:

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:

C.G. Road Navrangpura,
Ahmedabad - 9. (Guj.) INDIA.
E-Mail: info@intellisourze.com
Website: www.intellisourze.com

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

Expiration Date: 08-May-2009
Domain servers in listed order: ns5.znetindia.com ns4.znetindia.com
(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 who are posing as federal law enforcement. Be sure to give as many details as you can.

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.naag.org

5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

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:

They have been calling me over the last two days, same M.O. ..claim they are calling from Morgan Associates Law Firm representing US National Bank. I asked them to fax me some details about this supposely debt, they state that they can't it's is attorney client privilegde.  I spoke to them on 2 occasions and received different information about the debt mont when the loan was taken out.  I originally thought it was a case of identity theft and someone opened up an account in my name, because I knwo i didn't owe nobody.  Thank you for this website, this posting.
The number they gave me was 310-499-9983 but caler ID said another number.

Yeah.. I got the same call from those idiots today. They say they are from Morgan Associates and they are a legal Affadavit Unit calling in regards to US National Bank which neither of those exist. They too said my husband had 3 criminal charges. He also asked me if he had any judgements against him. He said that we owed them $1,224.60 and if we didnt pay them we would be downloaded by 4:30pm and we would owe $3,466.00 tomorrow. We would also had a warrant for our arrest and he would be contacting his supervisor. He said that they were located in Orange County but Orange County doesnt even have that area code. I called again and asked what company they were from and he said Morgan Associates,... than I said (after becoming privy to all this information) "Oh, no i must have the wrong company. Im looking for Hopkins Law office." He quickly changed the name of the company. I called the FBI and USSS and they told me not to pay them anything.

A bunch of criminals are attempting to extort money from you and your boss may fire you over it?  Your boss sounds like a jerk.

Rather than threatening to fire you, your boss should call the local police and the phone company and file a complaint.  If your boss won't file a police complaint, you should.

If I were in your position, I'd file a police complaint (and complaints with the other law enforcement agencies listed in my message above) each they time these crooks call. And I would also consult a consumer law attorney (many of whom work on contingency) for advice handling not only the calls but also your boss's threats.  There are many attorneys and consumer advocate organizations that can help. Here are just a few examples:

http://www.naca.net/debt-collection-abuse/
http://www.budhibbs.com/First.htm
http://www.fairdebtlawyers.com/
http://www.myfairdebt.com/
http://attorneysforconsumers.com/
http://www.westcoastlitigation.com/
http://www.theadvocateslaw.com/
http://www.consumercounselgroup.com/
http://www.creditlawnetwork.com/

Keep one thing in mind -- getting these crooks to stop calling you is difficult because, more than likely, they are calling from offshore. The best course of action is reporting them each time they call, convincing your boss to help you and having a chat with a consumer law professional.

These people have called me again, even after the Attorney General's Office had contacted them.  They used the name Morgan Associates.  How can I get them to stop contacting me at work.  I will get fired if they don't stop and I can't afford to loose my job.  I know they are a scam, but now I have to worry about them calling me so much that my boss is going to fire me if they don't stop.  What should I do?

Michelle, be sure to file a complaint with your local police. That way, your employers know that you are being targeted by extortionists and that you didn't do anything wrong. Also, alert the U.S. Secret Service. See my message above from May 28 for details.

These people called my place of work yesterday and told my bosses they were from a law firm and that I had 3 "criminal charges" against me.  Getting a note about this from my boss was very embarrassing.  I called the number back a man with a heavy arabic or indian accent told me that I would be prosecuted for "check fraud" if I didn't pay back payday loans taken out in 2005.  THE MAN HAD MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER.   I told him that I have not received anything in writing about these "charges" against me and he said that they had sent "16 emails" to my email address.  I told him that sending an email isn't within the scope of service of process on a lawsuit, and that he can go to hell and stop harassing me.  My dad is a prosecuting attorney and I had him call the number back to talk to these people, he told them that he was my attorney and gave them his bar number, and told them to stop harassing me.  They have yet to call back - but it was still embarrassing to receive that call at work and have my bosses think that I was involved in some kind of "criminal activity."  I just googled their number and found this website, and decided to report the incident to the FBI.

got a call from a 'Charlie Jones' - actually, several calls over the past few days.  It's laughable.  Firstly, if his name's Charlie Jones, then I am Oprah Winfrey.  Secondly - here's what he told me:

'what's wrong with you?  If you need to take care of yourself returning this call me back at 310.499.9983.  This is my last and final warning.  Good-bye.'

No idea why I am getting these calls.  I'm going to start messing with him just for fun.

Aggravated and Red, if you haven't contacted the U.S. Secret Service yet, you may want to. As a bureau of the Treasury Department, the USSS pursues crooks around the world who counterfeit U.S. currency or use America's financial and payments systems to further a criminal enterprise.

Here's an item of the USSS's website that you may find interesting:

"The Secret Service's ECTF and Electronic Crimes Working Group initiatives prioritize investigative cases that involve electronic crimes. These initiatives provide necessary support and resources to field investigations that meet any one of the following criteria: significant economic or community impact; participation of organized criminal groups involving multiple districts or transnational organizations; use of schemes involving new technology ..."

Note the mention of "organized criminal groups", "transnational organizations" and "schemes involving new technology".  The crooks targeting you most certainly meet those criteria.

So check out http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml and locate the USSS field office closest to you and give them a call with all the details. I've worked with the Secret Service on other matters over the years; they are top-notch.

The only reason crooks like this are eventually put out of business is that people like you refuse to be victims. Keep up the good fight, and good luck.
