We had a VM on our phone from this number, When my wife called back, person at the other end (called himself John Shoemaker) identified as an IRS person demanded to pay thousands of dollars immediately through a credit card. Of course his thick accent and threatening to send Police to arrest us immediately did not fool us.

I kept getting called to my Supervisors office because Officer Jack Hoffman kept call him to get in contact with me while I am at work. Don't these people know that they can cause people that don't even own them or any one money fired and lose their job behind stupid stuff like this or is it that they just don't care the only thing that they are after is get money from hard working people that's trying to provide for their family. I call officer Hoffman up and asked him to get rid of my Phone and contact number and not to call again. But as soon as I hung up with him he called my Supervisors number. So now I am going to look farther in to getting him and his group arrested for scamming and harrassment.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SCAM ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(1) Call comes from caller id 911 (!): WOW! This got to be really good! People, please note: We call 911. That 911 number does not call anybody. It is the first bait to make you pick up the phone. If that call id said "123 456 7890" would you have picked up the phone in the first place?

(2) Let us say you have taken payday loans in the past, so it makes you worry. Geneuine worry, yes. BUT - think of this: Why would a payday loan lender go to 911 (so that 911 can call you back) to collect your money back? 911 is a emergency toll free number that sometimes works even from a service disconnected cell phones. It is for EMERGENCY only. A loan collector trying to collect your loan back is NOT AN EMERGENCY!!

(3) When people are in dire need for money - to the extent that they go to payday loans agreeing to pay extra ridiculus interests, it means they do not have any credit cards. Otherwise, they would have used the credit cards to buy food or whatever was the emergency need. But these scammers would accept "ONLY CREDIT CARDS". Hmmm... is there a missing piece in this puzzle?

(4) Finally, if you want to have some fun with these "John Shumaker" type of guys (there are many names these days - Steve Williams, Tony Garza, Jack Hoffman, the list goes on), call that 347 number back. And tell them that you dont have any credit cards or bank accounts and you can send only money order to a name and address (put some plead into it and try to sound humble and try not to laugh!). Then hear the guy trying to jump through hoops to get your money! I had one such fun for 15 minutes one day - finally he figured out I am smarter than him and disconnected the phone! :-)

All in all, it is a bloody extortion scam and dont fall for it!

I have received call from the same number asking to call back or face a case will be filed against me. I called the local PD and they called the number and we got the person on the other end. Once he learned that its a Police Officer, and he started asking which company / PD he is calling from, the person acted as if he can not hear anything and kept rambling. The officer told him that if he calls again, the sheriff will initiate procedures against them. Then he told the officer do whatever.

This is a scam and we need to find a way to get these people to waste our time.

The scam continues. Is there is no way in this world of high tech advancements , to stop these phone calls ? The guys calling are so dumb, they use the same name John Schumaker. I knew the moment he said there is an arrest warrant and asked me to call 347-627-0474. I asked him his name and he said it was Andrew Jones. I knew the moment he called that he was not Andrew Jones and someone from India with a thick accent. I told him he did not sound like Andrew Jones, and he immediately tried to change his speech and his accent even became thicker. In the end it all sounded very funny.

I got two identical calls to my answering machine from a heavily Indian accented male today within an hour of each - the first one was targeting me and the second one was an hour later targeting my spouse.  Both calls had the same male voice and same script. Both messages warned that investigators would be at my doorstep to arrest us if we did not call John Shoemaker on 347-627-0474.  I googled this number and it is registered to a Rocky Williams in New York.

I do not have caller ID so do not know the caller's telephone number.

Similar scams have been reported in IndiaWest magazine:

Prank Call
A guy with heavy accent, named Steve Williams called today on 9/9/2013, pretending to be from Maricopa Sherrif's office.  He called from telephone #602-876-1801. He asked for my wife and said he has a complaint against her from a Federal agent for her arrest but he was calling to notify and she must call back to John Shumaker at 347-627-0474 to sort the things out or she may have an arrest warrants against her if she did not call him today.  

We started asking more questions about his identitity and about the Sherrif's department's phone numbers, it  made him upset and angry.   Soon after the call, I went online and found out he has been calling/emailing other pople too.  I called the sherrif's office about the call right away but they told me to call the local police.  I called the police department and they told me to call FCC to stop further calls.  The FCC local number is 602-364-8414.  

Sometimes a proper help is not available.  We have to be careful to handle these situations without getting panic.

Debt collectors are exempt from the DNC list but this one has taken several actions that are violations of both state and federal law the least of which is threatening to arrest you, the gravest is impersonating a Federal Officer.  Debt is a civil not criminal matter and you can only be sued provided the statute of limitations for suing has not expired.  Even if the debt is older than the SoL, they can still try and collect just not sue you.

A male professing to be a kevin watson agent is calling on behalf of Detective John Shumaker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Dept. Agent Watson tells me to call this Jonn Shumaker of crimes and something division. He tells me that they have a warrant for my arrest or I can turn myself in to them at their local office. Not sure if he meant sheriff office or his agent office. He said he will send his investigators to my home and work to stop me from running. Then he tells me God bless you at the end of the call. They called a lot today. Call my job too . If you filled out a payday loan app or loan app or bought something on line your a target. The call I got last week was so real the Moreno Valkey Police Dept took a report and have revered to scam artist division. That call came from New Mexico and their words were so filthy on what they called me when I challenged them. They were beyond abusive.

I have posted about a law firm problem with these ignorant people. I even filed a police report for extortion and threats of bodily harm to my family and myself with a local law enforcement agency. Now they are calling as detectives from the Los Angeles Sheriff dept. I am not worried about these small minded people. I would be in jail right this very minute if today's phone call was accurate. Fool me once shame on you, sent me to the hospital with a mild heart attack. So there won't be a fool me twice. If you have filled out applications for payday loans, personal loans , home loans or purchases from questionable sites. In desperation for money and went online. That's how they targeted you. I will just keep you all abreast of changes. Please don't get sick like I did. LASO does not use a 347 prefix nor would they call you by phone in said manner as these people have.

I received a call from 911 and. Guy with an accent said he was calling from mobile county sherriffs dept. I asked immediately for phone number of his dept., address and badge number he gave me the name of gene Watson and a 6 digit badge number and the number to the semmes county sherriffs office and the address from Dothan Alabama sherriffs dept. I asked for his superior officers info and he would not give it. He told me to call a second number 347 627 0474 ext 711 for a John shoemaker. I called knowing already it was a scam. At this time a second guy with foreign accent gets on the line. I ask for same info, phone number name, supervisor and address. He said he was with FDIC. But did not give me the correct meaning of he initials and then read me a complaint which said I had a 10,000 payday loan through america cash advance and that I would be arrested without payment. I had just had the same kind of call last week and hav already brought it to he local authorities so I advised him that I had the call traced and the police listening and that I knew it was scam and he said he would see me in jail and hung up. I changed all my contact info as of yesterday. I have no had a payday loan in five years or more so I knew this was scam.

Yes i received a call today saying i need to pay 921 dollars by today or else i was gonna have an arrest warrant and picked up at my job tomorrow morning and or at my house, and John Shoemaker told me i need to pay or they will pick me up any time kinda scared for my life and he said he was with the FBI and is going to issue me a warrant. And then Kevin Watson called me from a 661 number in my area telling me i need to pay or he going to come and pick me up. Well the number he called from is Kern County city jail. It is a scam and my mom almost paid him the money but im glad i said wait and did a further investigation.

Today I received a call that had the red emergency cross symbol and 911 as the number calling.  When I answered they said they were from the local sheriff's office and I needed urgently to call 347-627-0474 ASAP to avoid arrest.  they are a bill collector so they say without much information.  I am going to report to local law enforcement.

I've received calls from this number too, calling himself Officer Jack Hoffman, and told me I owe back $1000 from a payday loan I had taken out. So we set up an arrangement of $215 each Wednesday... unfortunately, that doesn't leave me enough for the necessities and when I tried to convince him to take it down, he refused.

This has happened to me twice (this being the third time) and I really thought I was in trouble. Only now, it has clicked after searching up about this scam and realizing that I had never taken out another payday loan after the first time.

He speaks in a heavy Indian accent and is very rude, only acting nice once you're complacent. He has called my mother's phone and my work place (after I specifically told him NOT to). The next payment is next Wednesday... I'm not answering the phone as I have other bills to take care of.

I received a call from 347-627-0474. The person states his name as Jack Huffman, but has a heavy Indian Accent.  Stated that his NC Identification number is 29610, gave me a case file number, threatened to arrest me and used Fast Cash America as the company he represents.  He also stated that he is an officer of the US Government.  He called my sister and threatened her if I did not call him back.  I have listed my number on the do no call registry but it doesn't seem to do any good.
