these are the no#'s I'm getting calls from threating me with jail on a payday loan I owe on from years ago, not!  they wouldn't give me any info when I asked.  did not know what they were talking about. they had a thick india accent claiming to be an Adam wood. i've blocked the no#'s on my cell but they've called my work too.

323-473-4849
775-996-0239
563-549-7935
305-507-8549
323-973-2500

Your money is gone. You've (hopefully) learned a rather expensive lesson.

Called and told my husband that he was going to go to jail if he didn't pay and he sent 500 and on a debit card how can I get my money back

Harrasing and threatening imprisonment. Really scary.

Please read Shill Kills, Elspeth's and my posts below..  Do not call them back!

I got a call today from the same people saying I'm being sued. I was transferred to an Indian accent guy name Frank Lewis. I got his information and told him that I will call him back. He asked be what time to expect my call. I told this jerk that I will call him back when I call him back. I'm going to tell them the same thing you told them, lol, when THEY call me back!!!

These people called me too and said the same thing to me. I asked them who where they referring to as to the company and they said US Cash Lending. I have no knowledge as to who they were talking about and gave me the amount of how much they suing me for. I got the guy name and number and told him that I will call him back. I don't understand.

I have been receiving phone calls from a Indian guy named Ray Allen from Hale and Coleman associates stating I need to have my lawyer call him about some criminal charges against me. He told me if I didn't call back I'd be arrested Jan. 2. Well it's my day of arrest and I'm still being called, lol. I eventually answered and informed him that I knew it was a scam and he proceeded to challenge me by asking me how I knew. I simply replied by telling him my neighbor is a criminal detective and when i allowed him to listen to the messages he left he recognized the name, voice, and number from other local reports. He quickly said he'd remove my number from his "LIST". I don't have a neighbor that's a detective, lol. I'm reporting the number to my local authorities because I don't know how much of my information they have.

Its a scam.. Please see my post on page one and read the articles as well as Elspeth's posts.  This is a extortion Scam..  it is meant to scare you into paying money you actually do not owe.  Debt is a civil matter, no one is going to jail and the threats are illegal..

I received a phone call yesterday from this number n he said I took out a loan last month n that I am gonna be arrested Thursday!! I never took out a loan but he has my information.  He said i have fraud charges against me!! How do we stop him??

Print up this forum thread and give it to your HR Dept and/or manager - you should not be getting in trouble at work for being harassed by overseas scammers!  And relax - there is NO lawsuit against you.  Please also do report the caller to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.

Shill and Elspeth are correct, it is a scam..

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

Please do report the caller to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.  Since your caller has your girlfriend's SSN, she should contact her financial institution(s) and also at least one of the three credit agencies - Experian, Equifax, TransUnion - and ask them to put fraud alerts on all her accounts.  She doesn't have to worry about being arrested - your caller is a scammer, so no one is going to show up.  If the scammer calls back, just let the calls go to voicemail.

Debt is civil, not criminal, so no one is going to be arrested and jailed.  You're being called by scammers.  They spoof the numbers to make it look like they're calling from the county courthouse or from law enforcement.  Also, law enforcement is not in the business of debt collection, so they're NOT going to be calling you asking you to make payment arrangements.  

Please DO report your callers to the FTC, FBI, Dept of Justice and your state's Attorney General.  And also please do let your local police department know that these scammers are posing as law enforcement.  Since he has personal information (maybe including partial or complete SSN) you should alert your financial institution and at least one of the three credit agencies - Experian, Equifax, TransUnion - and ask for fraud alerts to be placed on all your accounts.  

If the scammers call back, please do tell them you know they're scammers, you're not going to be paying them anything, and they've been reported to the appropriate authorities.  Let their calls go to voicemail from now on - you already know they're fraudsters, so there's no point in talking to them..

Take a deep breath, its a scam.  Scary as h*ll, but a scam.  This is a fraudulent debt collector.  They are using software to "spoof" the number 911.  They someone came across stolen financial information and are using it to try to steal money off of you.  Debt is a civil matter, not a criminal mater.  You won't be arrested for it.  Also, no one ever calls to tell you you will be arrested ---- trust me, I know a few things about law enforcement;)

They just want to intimidate people and confuse them so they panic and give them money.  To put you mind at easy, please call the non-emergency number of your local police department or Sheriff's office.  They get dozens of complaints a week about this type of scam.

I received a call this evening from 323-473-4849 from an attorney office stating I was behind on a PAY DAY loan, and I will be going to jail tomorrow if I do not pay $790.23, I was then called by 911. YOU HEARD correct 911, from a officer Roy stating they have been notified by an attorney office about a pay day loan I owed. I proceed to ask him what company he is making reference to he stated Cash Advance USA, and I proceeded to ask him why am I being notified about this about this information is FALSE and he threatened me with my address, and personal information saying he was going to come to my house and arrest me if I don't cooperate.. I need some guidance.

This man with an Indian accent called my cell phone and my place of employment telling me there was a lawsuit against me and that I needed an attorney. He said I would be going to jail if I didn't get an attorney but he would not tell me who filed the lawsuit. This man is going to get me in trouble at work if he doesn't stop calling.

That number called my girlfriend today, and the guy said he was a paralegal n that she would be going to jail in two days for loan, check, and bank fraud. When I got on the phone and asked questions, he became very defensive and said he did his job and hung up. When I called back he said we both would be going to jail n hung up lol. Its a scam and they need to be shut down! Scary part, they have her ss# .who do I report them to?

I had the same foreign guy call me. It was hilarious. He also said the name of the law firm. Since I'm already aware of this scam, I told him that he could call my attorney and gave him the information of one of my attorney friends. I asked them for their physical address and he stated that he could not provide that information to me because I will be going to jail.
The last time they called was a hoot! I acted as if I were being handcuffed and arrested and told him that I should have listened to him. The guy was speechless and never called back! lol

My husband received a call from them today as well, asking if he had legal counsel, saying he was reported to Department of Transportation, saying they had an arrest warrant for unpaid payday loan, and receiving money falsely.  When he asked who they were, they replied US Cash Lending, and that they would be sending paperwork in the mail.  I told him it was a scam and hang up.

I received a call on my cell phone from 323-473-4849 which said it was a CA number, so I didn't answer.  He left a voicemail saying his name was Jordan Miller.  He then called my place of business and left a message with one of my coworkers telling me it was very important that I return his call.  I did return the call and it was a guy with an Indian accent telling me that I had some criminal charges against me and that I would be served papers tomorrow morning if I didn't let him know who my attorney is.  When I told him that I found it ironic that I applied for a payday loan and now I'm getting weird phone calls he became VERY defensive saying "fine, wait until the morning when you get served"   hmmmmmmm

Receive a call from this number stating that they were taking legal action against me for a loan that I did not take out.  I applied for a loan online which I decided against since the interest rates were 41% (against the law) and never received any money from any of these companies..  This is a scam the guy had an india accsent.

This phone number call left message that they were pressing charges for a loan that I did not take out.

Keep receiving calls from a man with an Indian accent stating that he is going to sue me for some unknown debt.  I just ignore his calls as I know this is a scam, however this type of harassment needs to stop!

same guy called my husband, same guy that called me a bi***

Yeah Danny Morrison Called Me I'm getting arrested on Monday!! Haha. I don't have a payday loan thru any of those companies he listed I told him I was suing for harassment. I never met and Indian with an America name.

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
