Called my job and phone numerous times requesting to speak to my attorney. I told him not to call my job and continually threatened to do so. Changed his number and pretended that he was from my job firing me and I was a fraud and will presented with papers the next day. When asked who was I speaking with, hung up the phone. I don't like anyone threatening my job.

I just started a petition on the White House petitions site, We the  
People.  Will you sign it to stop these calls!    sign here:  http://wh.gov/lRtmu

I have been getting calls from the same number 334 8191716.....you can't understand the guy and he threatened me....gave last four of a ss# which was not mine.....routing number which is not to my checking acct and place of employment which I don't work at and have never heard of.  He told me I would be served tomorrow and I would have to prove I did not take out the loan.....when I started arguing with him he hung up on me.

Ok, thank you.

Pat them NOTHING! Your caller was just a scummy, smoke-blowing FRAUD! No one is going to show up at your door. We regulars here know these scams from the inside out. Your caller was nothing more than a bogus and/or fraudulent collector trying to use intimidation tactics in the hope that you'll hand over some money. Ignore him or block his calls.
Legitimate debt collectors are required to mail (NOT e-mail or fax.) you a notice of validation within 5 business days after initial contact with you. Legitimate collectors almost invariably mail you notices BEFORE phone calls are made. Needless to say, you will receive nothing from the clowns at this number. They are nothing!
Be Safe. Be Aware.

I received same calls yesterday. They guy told me Good Luck at the end of the message. Have these people came to anyone's work or home? I know I did not take a loan out anywhere. So I am wondering if someone did take something out in my name. I have a new baby and can not have someone show up at my house Because my husband works a lot and we are home alone. Do I just pay this so they will leave me alone?

They called me at work.  Couldn't understand person voice.  Wouldn't tell me what it was all about. Gave me a number 338-819-1716 of attorney with case.  He said,  Last day before filling to state of Texas.  Read me the last four letters on Social security.  He said that I had appied for loan on internet. $5000.00.  I responded immediately NO i didn't.      Somehow I got out of him $93.00- processing fee.   I asked him is this what the call is for?   And he said I did the process 9 times.    He said to me: That how could he get my social.   I mentioned Idenity thelf.   He said I would be arrested and have a nice day.

Idiots call me at work and tell me i am going to get arrested.

Uhmm yeah I just got a call from these idiots and i was on my way to school, just getting off of work. i hung up the first time and then they called back, the guy (with a very strong accent) answered and stated "Why did you hang up?" and that i would be arrested at 11am tomorrow morning at my residence. read off all of my personal info so i immediately called the non emergency number to see how i can stop them from calling but they were no help to me either.

They called my phone 3 times in a row.  I did not answer and they left a voicemail.  Then they called my extension at work, I answered was told I needed to contact an attorney due to a fraudulent loan.  Then they tried to shake me down, told them I wasn't giving them anything and it was a scam, the Indian guy then responded that I'll see what kind of scam it is when I get arrested at my place of work tomorrow and then he hung up

I was contacted today from the same number ,telling me exactly the same thing , that I owed them money, and I will be arrested tomorrow if I do not pay today......I will report them to to the police department, at least to keep a record.

Indian-sounding voice, male caller, stating that he will send the sheriff to my place of employment and arrest me tomorrow for a debt I owed. Said he was Officer Smith with Dawson Law Firm. Stated he had my social security number, d/o/b, and my bank account information.

The same thing is happening to me right now! and this is about the 4 time I have received the same exact threatening message you received  . calls come in 4-5 calls in a row and when i check my voice mail its a foreign man stating the same exact thing they said to you. I look up the number in instant check mate and here is the phone carrier for this crazy number! PAETEC

I received the same phone call today and for many years I honestly thought my name was easy to say until today.  They stated that they were from some law firm ( could not understand her) and basically with the broken english stated that I had an outstanding debt that needed to be paid.  At that point I informed her that I had already contacted my bank and that they needed to remove me from their list.  she attempted to contact me two more times at which time I hung up and she hasn't contact me again today!  You are correct, they do utilize different numbers and different individuals but if you are unable to say a common name correctly then there is a problem right off the bat.

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.

My husband got a phone call today ay 3:15pm. He was told that he would be arrested and put in jail for 30 days and lose his job. They knew his name and his place of work. He told them no he didn't. When I heard this I put the call on speaker and said you have got to be kidding me and he said no I'm not. I asked him for his name and he gave me that it was Jason Dean. I asked where was I suppose to of taken a loan out from and he said from American Cash and I asked when did he do this he  said Feb of 2013. So I asked for a date and I was told that he couldn't give me that information and would receive it tomorrow when they come to arrest my husband.

Great thank you very much!

Scammers trying to scare people into paying bogus debts.  And most likely calling from overseas too.  You can report the callers to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.  More info here:

I was called today they told me I had taken a loan and had to pay $632.26 today to keep it out of court when I told them I have a lawyer the man got mad raised his voice and said if I contacted my lawyer they would arrest me from my job tomorrow. Who are these idiots?,,

I got a call on ma way home frm work stating that I took a loan for $8000 and I need to pay $200. Took keep it out of court..I never received no loan n ma name..also Tht i was going to b locked up for 21 days for investigation.. This is crazy they playing wit peoples lives n that ain't funny..

Called my phone 5 times in 4 mins.  Left one message stating his name, which I couldn't understand (just like all the other calls that these people make), stated that I needed to call back now or have my attorney call and if they don't hear back then Good Luck to me!!  These people will changes #'s all the time with the same foreign speaking people and call repeatedly.  They will get to a point of threatening your family.  I had to get the police involved before and the calls stopped for about 2 months. Not sure why our government won't do anything to stop these people, I have tried by contacting the FBI and am told its a local police matter.  How can that be when the calls are coming from over my state line or another country???
