i have received these calls from this number 315-294-9475, and this is not the only time they  have called, they also have called from a number on my cell phone its only 6 digits, it is 441-198, thats the only number that comes up. They have a very strong indian accent for where you can hardly understand them demanding money etc... this number and the one I posted have been adverstised on MSNBC news, I am going to block these numbers and report them to the authorities.
They are really getting on my last nerve, and needless to say they have one more time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another new number they left is 202-595-5363

THIS IS A SCAM! SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL THESE PEOPLE, & TELL THEM WHATS UP! THEY GIVE U AMERICAN NAMES BUT U CAN CLEARLY TELL THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN! THEN U TRY TO CALL FROM THE NUMBERS THEY GIVE U & THEY DONT WORK! HOW CAN THAT BE A LAWYERS OFFICE....

I had the same thing happen as many of you!  I had someone call from this number 315-294-9475 and threaten me with jail time if I didn't pay the $780 that I owe.  I was scared and thought maybe I had an old debt that I forgot about and almost gave out my check card information.  Thank god I found this website with all of your experiences so I wasnt scammed!

A man name Kevin from phone number 315-294-9475 called me and said that I owed Ace American Cash Advantage $680.00 and that a a law suite has been filled against me and I need to pay that amount up front or make payment arrangements and send them a type letter with my payment arrangements on it with my bank informatioin well I was scared not thinking and I sent them a payment arrangement and not my bank but I have a Rush card and I sent them that number but all weekend long sone thing  just didn't feel write so I look this number up and I see all these same messages and frauds that I had my Rush Card cancelled so they wouldn't be able to get any thing out. Thank you all for the tips on these people because I almost paid them and I know that I didn't borrow this amount of money from any one and if I did the people would contaact oyu first to make payment arrangements before they press chareges. Some thing needs to be done about this. It is scaring a lot of people and time is to hard to just give up money you dont have I call Kevin after reading this and told him I was going to report him he said go ahead and good luck.

recived call from the same scammers as before. this time I called them back and pretended to be really scared of going to jail and how can I stop it.  They then asked me to verify the address and bank info and two people they named off.  I told them all that info was wrong and the guy got very angry and said that I was lying to him. asked him why I would lie since I don't want to go to jail. Mr said that his lawyer was sitting behind him so I asked to speak to the lawyer and they then hung up on me.  Called right back and acted like I was surprised that they hung up on me and all I wanted to do was talk to the lawyer.  Once lawyer got on the phone I explained to him what my rights were and that I had also googled their phone numbers and all the info that was found on their scam and the ABC News report that also listed their scam and part of their conversation. Advised mr that he should just give up on calling me because I could go on all day and each time the conversations would be even more outrageous.  Lets see if this finally works as this has been going on for to many years.

Guy calls himself Attorney Alan Johnson. Landline owner is Paetec Communications, Inc.  Based out of Cayuga NY.  He has a heavy accent!  This is the same guy who also cals himself William Walter at 732-456-6328 who called a couple of months ago.   These guys are the boiler room idiots scamming or preying innocent people.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM, DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY!

Yup, this is a scam!  I got a couple of calls on my cellphone.  They even called my good friend!  These are the same people who will try every 3-4 months, so don't fall for their scare tactics.  How do we get these crooks?

A man with a foreighn accent keeps calling my home number and leaving threating messages saying that it is important that I call him back at this 315-294-9475 number, his name was John. He said that he suggested that I have my attorney take care of this matter for me and if I didn't then he hoped that God have mercy on my soul because it would be nothing that he could do. Not only did he call me but he also call a friend of mine and said that I used him for a reference and to give me the message that he was looking for me. I call the number back today and it just rang for a long time  a long time then a automated recording came on an suggested that I call back later an disconnected me.

Then I receive another message from a guy with an accent stating that he was from the Office of Criminal Identification and his name was Charles Green, his number was 615-671-9943

I got about 3 different phone calls from someone saying there was a lawsuit against my husband and I needed to call to prevent the lawsuit. They also called my friend asking for my husband and gave her the same information. She believed them. Normally a lawsuit in done by mail and in person. The person gave the name of Christina Jones. The person spoke very loudl & very fast and has an accent, possibly New York.

It is actually the County of Cayuga, not the country of Cagura.  Definitely in NY state.

This is a place of business. Do not call this number again.

they called me today at work! saying i had a cash advance and owed over 5000! Also said someone will pick me up from home or work and arrest me!

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.

Hey I just received a call from a co with the number 315 294 9475 and they said they are representing Advance Cash America and I have a outstanding loan with them since February 2009, which ISN'T True..the lady called with a sharp accent then a guy with the same SHARP accent said that he needed me to go walmart and send 400.00 to a pre-paid card this Friday and and until the balance is paid in full of 785.00...I know for a FACT I don't have any payday loans and then the guy said " oh we don't have your original agreement" since it was last year 2009 and our Limited Liabilty Corporation said that ACA has over 300 payloans companies they used...  This is a SCARE TATIC to get you to wire/money gram/western union and even used your personal checking account information.

I did a reverse phone number lookup and they are a " lan line" in Albany, NY and a Country of Cagura????????
