There was a message left by rachel  valentine looking for my wife that she was list as an emercency
Contact, gave a name that we due not even know. They wrer looking for this person to please contact,
We are in california. How they got our number dont know. Our number just was given to us. The number they called from was  317-412-9725.  What a joke, i tried calling there number and it says doesnt receive in coming calls .  What a scam

My daughter got a call at work stating if she didn't pay $600 within the hour she would be arrested at work.  I am her boss there, but had that afternoon off.  She called me at home very upset, and asked if I would call them.  I did so, and was told the same thing.  They said they knew she was on probation, and were sure we didn't want to add to her charges.  I sure didn't want her arrested at work!!  So I gave them my debit card info...well I gave it to Vantage Point Svcs.  When it was all said and done, I looked up illegal collection practices on my states Attorney General's website, and found it is illegal to threaten arrest.  Tried to stop the payment, but it had already gone through.  I feel really stupid for doing it, but they only gave us an hour from the first call, and knew somehow that she was already on probation.  I am sick to my stomach over this, and have had to cancel my bank accounts and card.  I hope they can find these people.  I learned the expensive way, but I learned, and am passing it on to EVERYONE I know.  The Attorney General from my state is sending me a bunch of papers this week...hopefully something will come of it!  I've kissed the money goodbye, but want these creeps caught and punished!!

My husband and I received calls from Brenda Cross at Unifide Processing (a legal firm) 317-456-0526 which is her direct line. That my SIL listed us as ER contacts and there is a felony fraud in the state of MN against her. After reading all the threads, I've realized this is a scam for them to get her to call. Brenda never probed me for information about my SIL just wanted me to call her ASAP!

I too just received a call from Rachael Valentine and Brenda Cross, they informed me I had some past due payday loan and told me that I didn't seem like the kind of person who committed felonies like check fraud and that they would give me the opportunity to fix the situation by giving them $775.00. either that or I would spend 90 days in jail and pay $4000 in fines. I am a criminal justice student on the deans list and I told these ladies this and that I have never heard of any case being handled like this, they became very angry and were stating that they didn't care if I paid or not because they would just have the cops at my door in two hours if I didn't give them payment information or go to a walmart and wire money. my wife and I didn't think things were legit when I simply asked if they could fax the documentation from the "victim" and the other paperwork to me and they refused and said you will see the documentation when the police show up at you place of employment or home. my wife then took the phone and I decided to google their company name and only found this site, at that point I told them to do what they needed to do,ut I wasn't giving them any money. I never applied for any payday loan anyway. I researched a bit and whats happening is that companies like this are buying accounts from collection agencies that are past statue of limitations and using the information from those to commit these scams.

I received a call from Brenda Cross and Rachel Valentine. They called my brother in Mississippi and a sister in Indiana. They told that there will be a warrant out for my arrest unless I call them immediately. I called them and was told that I own Big Sky Loan $800.00 and if I did not pay they will issue a warrant for my arrest. They could make arrangement for me to pay in four payment of $205.00 for the next four pay periods. The sad part about this is that I was scammed by them once before for $500.00. They used the name County Check System. They called from 317 412-9725. They did not ask for my account this  time I quess because after County Check System scam I change by bank information. So they ask that i do a money gram through Walmart or prepaid card (which I suggested when they used the County Check System scam). I asked for the code to wire the money by money gram. Rachel could not provide that information so she had me to talk with Brenda. Brenda instructed me to call them when I went to Walmart to complete the money gram and they would give me the information at that time. The reason for them handling the transaction in that matter is due to a lady making the pay and she was one number off. They did not receive the payment and she was arrested. That threw me, what ?then I begin to question it. I was not afraid for myself but I did not want them calling my brother who lives in Mississippi. Although I should not worry about him or my sister because if they call them on a day when they have gotton their drunk on, they will give them a lovely and long conversation. They called me back at 6pm to see if I was making the payment. I told them I need the account information and low and behold is the same account number County Check System used. I told them I was going to the police department and see if I had a warrant for my arrest. Rachel tells me there is no warrant for my arrest. I ask her for proof of the  amount owned and to fax it to me before I make the payment. They went into the line about all paperwork is for legal purpose and I can not have any copies. After I was told it could not be faxed which I replied I would come to their office and pick it up. No address was given. I would have the police to call and they can provide the information to them. I have not received any more calls today.  I will see what tommorrow brings. Also,  I contact State Attorney the last time and the problem with catching them is that they change their name and location often which makes tracking them hard. They will not provide any documentation or anything. The one time they did sent something when I requested it. It was a flyer that was printed out on a computer by any John Doe. I wish I could catch them so we all could have a chance at tormenting them. I hate these people. I paid the loan when they got my $500.00. They think I am going to give them a total of $1400.00 . I know I am all over the place with this comment but that is how the scam people are talking to you when they call, all over the place.(smile)

Received a message from my sister that a Brenda Cross had called my parent's house using my emergency contacts, and they told her that there were charges being pressed against me for fraud, which is a class 1 felony in the state of georgia.  there is no such thing as a class 1 felony in georgia, its either felony or misdemeanor....I called the number back and told them who i was and was informed to hold on, that they were looking up my information, I asked what this was about, and she told me to hold on for a compliance officer in the legal department.  A guy named joe got on the phone, telling me that I owed 1500 dollars for this past due loan, and that i had 30 min to pay at least 500 dollars or i would be getting a visit from the sheriff.  I told him i didnt have the money, and he told me that he would just tell them to handle their business and issue the arrest warrant, its been an hour, im still here.....I asked him to give me a phone number to call and resolve the issue, and he stated that it was my problem not his, then he said i have 30 min, and hung up, so i googled the number and found this site, glad i didnt pay them

they hav called me 3 times today rather idiots as fbi would never want to know if owned my own home -obvious scammers

I am so glad I found this post.  These people called me from 317-412-9738 and left me a voicemail that they were in the process of filing a bench warrant for my arrest.  They stated that I needed to call them back immediately.  I am at work and FREAKED OUT!!!  When I called back they told me I had 30 minutes to come up with the money or the state would pay my bill and I would be forced to complete 90 days in jail.  He told me if I did not want to be shamed at work to pay the bill or just wait out side for the cops to pick me up.  Once I found this site and quote the requirements of Section 809 of FDCPA they went crazy and hung up on me.  I called back and they decided to no longer answer my call.  This is bullcrap that people actually have nothing better to do than!!!  I hope someone puts a stop to them

this is very true they threw my uncle in jail for this same thing .. we thought it was a scam til we didnt pay because we read online and listed to them and we found out they were serious we also got our mail on our case ib our mail box

Hi this Unified Processing Group contacted my sister in law in Florid and said that they were looking for me and this was the last number they had for me. They told her that I have charges in Wisconsin of a bad pay day loan amd said i needed to contact them asap or ai would be charged a felony and be arrested. At first it scared the heck out of me but I do feel that their trying to scam me and just get money. They are rude people. How many more people are they going to try to victimize before they get caught????

New Twists to Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
February 21, 2012  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

 


The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) continues to receive complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. As previously reported in December 2010, the typical payday loan scam involves a caller who claims the victim is delinquent on a payday loan and must make payment to avoid legal consequences.

Callers pose as representatives of the FBI, ?Federal Legislative Department,? various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies and claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, or other Internet check-cashing services. The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment in attempts to obtain payment. The callers refuse to provide information regarding the alleged payday loan or any documentation and become verbally abusive when questioned.

The IC3 has observed variations of this scam in which the caller tells the victim that there are outstanding warrants for the victim?s arrest. The caller claims that the basis of the warrants is non-payment of the underlying loan and/or hacking. If it?s the latter, the caller tells the victim that he or she is wanted for hacking into a business? computer system to steal customer information. The caller will then demand payment via debit/credit card; in other cases, the caller further instructs victims to obtain a prepaid card to cover the payment.

The high-pressure collection tactics used by the fraudsters have also evolved. In one recent complaint, a person posed as a process server and appeared at the victim?s job. In another instance, a phony process server came to a victim?s home. In both cases, after claiming to be serving a court summons, the alleged process server said the victim could avoid going to court if he or she provided a debit card number for repayment of the loan.

If you are contacted by someone who is trying to collect a debt that you do not owe, you should:

?Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
?Contact your bank(s) and credit card companies;
?Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
?If you have received a legitimate loan and want to verify that you do not have any outstanding obligation, contact the loan company directly;
?File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Maybe we should all start calling her and her relatives and harassing them and see how they like it.  Time to fight back!!!!!

I also received a call from these scumbags this morning.  Before I called them back I printed myself a copy of the Fair Debt Collections Practice Laws.  When I brought that up to them and said they were violating several laws, his response was "You might as well stop right there, we're not a legitimate business that doesn't pertain to us".  YEAH, YA THINK!!!!  I told him that obviously they aren't, all I had to do was google their phone # and you can find out what they are all about.  Obviously he didn't like what I said because he then said "This converstaion is pointless, good luck" - and hung up!!!  It's time to make these scumbags pay for harassing people!!!!

I have connections in their state, I'll get to the bottom of this and have it taken care of. I can have the number tracked to a location, and I'm only a couple states away and I will visit to see if they are a real company. My company conducts investigations and I'm sure it will be very easy to stop this. They messed with the wrong person.

A Mr, Jerry Strikers 317-412-9728 called my father today and screamming at this 71 yr old man telling him he would have him arrested if he did not give him information about me and my where abouts. Of course my did hung up on him and then called back 2 times harrassing him,
This Mr. Striker called my office leaving a nasty message, I called him back and he continued to call me name, said I was a peice of s*** of a person etc. Everytime I would ask for the name of the company he would hang up on me. He claims that I wrote a bad ck in 2010, which I explained I never did and he told that he will have me arrested today and that I was a peice of s*** and went on and on...My assistant  tried to speak with him and he hung up on her but not before calling her name and threatening her, Again, everytime I asked to speak or every try and ask a question he would talk over and then hang up.
I contacted my attorney who tried calling him and of course he would not answer,
My attorney will be contacting the attorities tomorrow as I will be pressing charges for the violation of Federal Debt Collectors.

I got a call from 317-456-0527 Sabrina Peterson - about allegations and a formal complaint being filed against me by the State of California. She stated that she assumes I did not get the 10 day notice because there is no Response on file.  I work for a law firm and I checked with the court and there is nothing on file against me. On top of the fact that there is nothing filed against me, the State of California would not have some place out of Indiana call me, I would have received something by mail, and they would not be allowed to leave that kind of information on a voice mail without verifying that the number belongs to me.

robert singleton, and ryan stokes have accussed me of writing hot checks and called my parents home totell them they will issue a warrant for my arrest. they want me to pay them while on the phone. and if i dont have the money i will be arrested within the hour.

i recieved a phone call today from these people. more like a few phone calls, i ignored the first 2 but they called 3 times in a row so i answered the last one. they told me they were looking for my sister in-law and that we were down as her emergency contact which is a lie we have never been used as an emrgency contact by her for anything, so i knew right away something was not right. i played along with  mr. robert singleton as he was threatening to have my sister in-law thrown in jail for the people who were pressing charges on her and after he was done i got his info. hung up and googled the so called company which is where i found this page. the phone number i recieved the call from was 317-412-9734. so i decided to call this number back and i asked for people by the names listed on other reports on here, supposedly mr.bernstein no longer works there  robert singleton was no longer available even though he had just called me 15 min. earlier i dont recall the name that the guy that originally answered my call gave but when i asked for mark bryant he put me on hold for about 5 min. and then got back on saying he was mark bryant, and i know it was the same guy, then he said to me why are u calling me and i replied i looked up your company and i know this is a scam and i want y'all to quit calling my home and to stop trying to scam people. so he says well if thats why you called then i'll be sending the sherriffs department to your home and he hung up on me. needless to say these people are idiots and i just hope anybody who gets wierd phone calls like this are smart enough to do a little research. it took me less than 10 min. to find this.

"Unified Processing" called my mother's home looking for me yesterday... asked for my father - who passed away 20 years ago when I was 15! - stating that I had him down as a contact in their file. My mother told them sorry, he was no longer with us, & they asked if she knew me & how she could contact me. She was leary, & stated she hasn't heard from me in a long time, & the woman started screaming at her that  she wanted to know where I was NOW & that I would have a felony warrant issued if I didn't pay them $460.00 within the next 2 hours, & she would be arrested as well for harboring me!! She hung up on them and called me right away with their number. I no more than hung up with her, & my son's father called me upset, because he & HIS parents had just gotten the same exact call looking for me! To get his information, they actually looked up my court records, found the paternity case, & got his name off of there - and his father's since they share the same name! So now I have everyone in my life being threatened & thinking I'm some big felon! I called them back, & asked them what the hell they thought they were doing, they stated "Just trying to get what you owe us!!" I told them to F* off & called my local police department & filed a complaint. Funniest thing is - I have only ever had 1 debt, and it was paid off over 7 years ago!! These people make me sick.

I have been recieveing calls from 317-456-0527 (Brownsburg, IN) for over a week or so but I did answer because I though they were telermarketers.  Until they called my moms house asking for me.  I answered there call when they called me back yesterday only to be scared half to death because they said that they were issueing a warrent for my arrest for Class 1 Felony Fraud and if I didn't pay $952.60 within 30 mins. I would be picked up and would serve 90 days in jail.  They caught be totally off guard.  I told them I needed for time to look into this and they were very upset at me.  Debra Shaw and Carla Smith were the agents that I talked to from the "compliance Department".  The bad thing about this is they had all of my information including my entire SSN.  Later in the day Christine from Vantae Point Services 716-239-4330 NY, USA called me to "help me resolve the issues" and when she called she quoted me a totally different about that I supposively owed.  I went online and found this website with very similar stories I called the Sheriff's Dept.  When I told Christina that I was on to them and that I had reported them, I have not gotten anymore calls.  BE CAREFUL EVERYONE.

Relative received a call from these guys stating that they were the police and I was suspected in identity fraud.  When I called back the guy on the other end tried to act like a tough guy and wouldn't give me his name.  The number they used was 317.395.7147, registered to level 3 communication.

I also just received a call from this number this morning (originating from Browsburg, IN).  The caller indicated that my number was listed as an emergency contact number for a gentleman and that he had "gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble" and the State of Colorado is pressing charges against him.  She also indicated that they had mailed out a letter to the gentleman requesting a response within 10 days, to which they received no response.  They were utilizing the emergency contact number to make him aware of the issue.  I have had my phone number since 2009 and have received calls for this individual over the years.  When I called the lady back I told her that she had the wrong number and she promptly hung up on me.  Jerk

we had the same thing happen the number they are calling from now is 3173957153 giving the name chuck walker the police need to do something about this after they called all day yesterday i called today first of all the answered the phone before business hours i hung up called back again then got chuck walker voice mail if its a valid company thats been in business 39 years as they told us why am i getting one mans voice mail then i called back again a women answered asking how she could help me i ask the name of the business she ask who i was and i said if u were legit why would it matter and she said good luck in jail first of all they threatned my husband with jail not me and she hung up PLEASE people be careful

I received a call from 317-412-9641. Jane Conner left me a nasty voice mail stating that I was in "a lot of trouble" and if I didn't call her back in the next 9 minutes that I would receive a knock on the door from the county sheriffs department and be arrested with felony charges. As someone who had prior debts and felt with bill collectors, many of them, I knew this had to be a scam. I have no debt and haven't done ANYTHIG warranting a felony charge or any other legal issue. I immediately looked up the name of the company she gave "unified processing" and the phone number she called from and found this website. With the knowledge now that this was indeed a scam I decided to call the number back. "Jane" answered right away and told me I needed to pay her for an outstanding debt or I would be charged with a felony. I asked her what debt and she stated that 'the physical file for this is upstairs with processing'. I told her I would need to know what I was paying for before I send any money. Duh. I also told her i KNOW i havent done anythig wrong and she was in fact wrong. She then got angry and told me that I needed to pay her immediately or she would 'push her filing button' and notify the county and  have a sheriff out to my house immeditly. I then asked her "what county?" Haha she said "I don't have that information". I asked her how she was going to send a sheriff out to have me arrested if she didn't even know what county I was living in! Hahaha she said some 'legal-ish' catchphrases and told me she was transferring me 'upstairs' to the claim processing center. At that point a woman picked up the phone who sounded older than 'Jane' who immediately said 'I'm from the claim processing center do u understand the charges against you today?" I said that there are no charges against me because they don't even know where I live or what exactly the debt is from. She then laughed and screamed, "oh Jessica you're going to be very sorry when that sheriff knocks on your door in nine minutes!" I told her to go ahead and send a sheriff and that I knew what they are doing is a huge scam and she is the one who is in more trouble than anyone for doing this to innocent people. She then, of course, hung up on me. I think these people need to be stopped. Wonder if everyone who has been scammed by them can bring forth a class action law suit or something? I just feel TERRIBLE for the people out there that have sent them money. I have to say if I hadn't been through the debt industry and if I were a little younger and more naive I probably would've been scared into paying them! Please don't send these people money!!!! Good luck!!!

I keep getting calls from these two numbers by a person by the name of Casey. 317 204 3614 and 317 456 0526. He states I have a lien against my social security in my home state and that I have a felony with a warrant for my arrest. Am not sure who they are calling but am under age and never had a credit card or checking account. These mongrels are calling at 7am and past 9pm. Who are these people from Unified Processing? Any one has suggestions of what to do. Am not who they are looking for and can care less of all the information they have revealed to me about this man hunt. I asked them to stop calling me, they got the wrong guy, and they just keep calling.

Today January 24, 2013 my parents was contacted by Unified Processing Group with a call back # of
(317)395-7153 a man identified himself as Chuck Walker. He told my Dad I had an outstanding check of $640 @ a  payday loan in Washington, D.C. If I didn't contact him before the day ended an arrest warrant would be issued for my arrest. I contact the man Chuck Walker He identified the company as Unified Processing Group, ask for my name. He than stated first he needed to retrieve my file..placed me on hold than continue the conversation stating that in 2005 I wrote a bad check in the amount of $640.00, I had ten days to reply to prior letters that was mailed through U.S. Postal  mail (not certified to me),. Therefore, according to his affaividit I will serve 90 days in jail according to the state of Maryland law; and pay triple the amount of the check. He stated I had two options to moneygram to him Group, or pay directly to the payday loan. I repeated back to him what he stated he than tells me the victim which was the payday loan company, ask that I not contact them directly to resolve the matter. He goes on to state that he would give me a website to setup an email and pay by credit card or a debit card. The man informs me this is a serious matter which is a felony and he will give me until tomorrow (January 25, 2013) or I will be arrested. I told my friend about the man contacting me, he assure me I was being scammed, I looked this company up to find another person was contacted by the same Unified Processing Group in the state of Indianapolis. Also, I contacted the District  Court Commissioner in the state I live in. The commissioner informed me if i did write a dishonested check contact the business to resolve it. However, I must be served by the plaintiff and the case would be heard in front of a judge, and I would have the rights to an attornery prior to being arrested. Our personal privacy is being invaded by people who live off hard working citizens...and I find as a nation we need to contact our congress well as local government to get changes made of what can be revealed over the world wide web or court records! Take action we never know when our families will be vicitimized again!!!!

just wanted to say thanks to all for telling your experiences. Just had my number changed a few days ago and got a call from these people this morning. Googled the number and found out all this "interesting" info. Will be prepared if they try to call again. Especially thanks to "anonymous" for all the FDCPA info.
