DON"T GIVE THEM MONEY SCAM, it is all over the internet research before you pay anything.  They are from INDIA and working with crooks from US.  This is a big time scam and everyone one needs to report it to the United States Secret Service and their local FBI.  They will get shut down eventually.  I read that there was a scam that did the same thing with a number out of Florida and they got shut down, now it is a number out of Faraway New York, called the police department there, they said to report it with your local police, then i researched on the internet and from so much stuff on this number 347-246-5201 and it is a BIG SCAM, PLEASE do NOT give them your MONEY>  STOP

I recieved a disturbing call from a man that I could not understand with an accent and he was threatening me and saying they are pressing charges if I don't send them money from western union. How do they know me? They won't give me their address or anything!!

they called and said the United States Treasury was calling to give me a grant of $7000. I work for government in US, there is not such thing.

my dad just 3 minutes ago got a call from this fool saying he wanted to delilver a package to him - I plead the blood of Jesus against these clowns and decree that they will turn against one another to their own destruction! Further more, they will do no harm to anyone starting right now so don't be in fear.

OKAY EVERYONE getting calls from 347-246-5201 or unknown and they say that they are Officer Neal Johnson,Officer Peter Davis, or they are from the Investigative Department of the United States.  FRAUD BIG TIME FRAUD, they might have all your info and tell you that a judgement will go in your name for a payday loan or something you owe and that you have to pay now by debit. STOP tell them to STOP calling and that you will file a complaint against them with the United States Secret Service and the FBI and if you keep calling your lawyer will call.  They will yell and get upset because you know they are FRAUD and it is a scam.  Report it to the United States Secret Service and your local FBI.  Lots of people are getting scamed and the UNITED STATES does not operate like this with threats and when I ask why i didn't receive anything in the mail, I said send it to me in writting and I will have my lawyers look at it, I have filed for Chapter 7 and so creditors are not suspose to contact me and so when I told them this they got very rude and mean.  When I got there number I calle dthem back and was very brunt with them, no calls since, wonder why, SCAM, I have never experience this in my life.  My mom got a call from an unknown number saying they were from the gas company and they could lower her Rate HA they didn't even have her name or address, they ask her for that information.  Excuse me, SCAMMERS, She stop them before they could get anything and they were like oh I thought this was a company, HA yea right Scammers.  I am sick of this and you will get caught eventually.

I have voice to text on my phone, which means that if the computer can't understand the caller i have to call my voice mail.  Not something I like to do.  I had to listen to the call several times to get information down. I called at 930 centeral time.  The man said he was a sr. officer for the Investigative Department Of the United states.  He said that I had a (word unknown) against me and that if I did not call back only God could help me.  He knew my address though couldn't say it correctly at all.  I do plan on calling back and telling him what I found.  Also, had no idea how to say my last name.  I googled the numbr and found this sight plus others that have had calls from this number.  He said Sr. Officer Sean Michles was out and that his name was Scott Bale.

its best to just ignore these childish remarks.

I just shows that person's level of intelligence and majority is about age 5.

I too have seen unwarranted comments to some of my posts, where I explained how a certain scam worked.

i dont appreciate those kind of remarks---i was asking what that said about that company not me---

It says that you're a SUCKER.  Get a backbone.  Don't be gullible.  Why would you let anyone intimidate you over the phone?

UPDATING MY MISTAKE FROM ABOVE----I DID GIVE THEM MY DEBIT CARD INFO---BUT THEN FOUND THIS SITE AND FOUND OUT THEY ARE A FRAUD--I SENT A FAX TELLIN THEM THEY CANT TAKE $ OUT OF MY ACCT---CALLED AND CANCELED MY DEBIT CARD ON MONDAY ALSO---AND BLOCKED THERE CALLS---AND GUESS WHAT NO EMAILS OR CALLS AT ALL---WHAT DOES THAT SAY----

This company called claiming I own them $300 and must pay it now.  They had my address and name.  The guy had such a thick accent I could hardly understand what he was telling me.  At one point, he threaten I will be arrested in 7 to 8 business days if I do not pay the money back.  However, thanks to the post from PayDay2Go, I was able to verify it was a scam.

The names the guy gave me was BJF Corporations as the parent company.  He wanted me to authorize AMG-LLC to debit my account.  He also said he represent United treasury and investors department.  Last, the email address he gave me to send him the information to debit my account was paydayloan7@usa.com.

i have the same call on my phone----and i got scared when they threated me to go to jail and loose my family and everything i got----i gave them my debit card info to have it taken out of my account----and now they wont return my calls----or they wont answer the phone----i dk what to do now

"US National Bank" is a dead giveaway for this scam:

From: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-949-528-2406

It's a scam. And all their threats are false and illegal. ABC News and the West Virginia Attorney General have warned consumers about this scam; here are the links:

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1
http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm

This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."

Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Legal Affidavit, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.

The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)

The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.

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:

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:

(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. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.

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://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

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:

I am highly upset and worried that my information that was submitted to your site has been fraudulently accessed by this person calling himself Louis Martin and Robert Foster from the FBI. I received this call today Thursday June 11th.

This person seemed to have alot of details regarding the information I submitted to your website including the date and IP address. He gave me a badge number of 5732 and a case number of: IP87620 and told me my social security number was being suspended by my state (correctly stated). I would be arrested and have to get a lawyer for council.

They told me that Payday loans was in the process of filing a lawsuit against me because I submitted my Social Security number online for a payday loan which was the same as signing a contract, that $200.00 was transferred to my bank account ( exact date that I submitted my application). Payday loans attempted to debit my bank account 3 times and recieved insufficient funds and that I was to be served and arrested at my home in a few hours for not honoring my loan agreement.

He also referred to US National Bank as part of this suit against me. I have this information saved in my voice mail. I wish that I had recorded the conversation with this man.

Payday2go is not associated with them, they are a suspected criminal front. I am from payday2go (online loan company) I keep on receiving lots of call complaining about this fraud collectors and callers experienced harassment and asking them immediate payment and they are verbally threatening consumers by using nefarious fraud tactics (like threatening jail time). I even check our database but the callers don't have existing account with us, they are just using our company name to collect money. please visit our website at www.payday2go.com
If you received call from them and claiming that they are calling on behalf of payday2go. Please don't believe them and report it to us at (866)742-0413. It's just a scam call from a suspected location ( India ) which is using different company name and call out number almost everyday. They are using specific U.S.A telephone number which their gateway for their calls from a remote location, that's the reason why the number that is appearing to our caller ID still a U.S number.

If would like your debt verified, or if you can provide any additional information about TNT Telemarketing, please call us at 866-742-0413 and ask for "Ryan" in our collections department. 866-742-0413 is the only valid phone number for PayDay2Go. No other phone number should be used when contacting PayDay2Go.

PayDay2Go takes your privacy very seriously. In a vast majority of these cases, the consumers being contacted never applied with PayDay2Go. We are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.

Sincerely,

Management

This number called me and I spoke to a man with a middle eastern accent who told me they were suing me for fraud. I told him I would wait for the letter in the mail and to take me off of their call list. He transfered me to his "Senior Officer" and when I told him the same thing the man said "Shut up, oh my god, just listen." I told him I was calling the better buisness bureau and he angrily said "The better buisness bureau has nothing to do with us!"

Is this a scam or this for real,  this man he goes by Robert.  he is threating me with legal and telling me i am going to have to pay and that he is from the united federal bureau investigations he wont send me no paper work.

HE SAID THAT HE WAS CALLING BECAUSE I OWED HIM A LOAN FOR MY DEAD SISTER

THIS NUMBER POSED AS A FEDERAL INVESTIGATOR AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO COME TO MY WORK AND FIND ME AND CALLED ME A STUPID LADY
