well i got this call today tried to reason and tell them to send me the info they wouldn't do so i recorded them and sent it on tp the local sheriff;s dept they are a scam!!!  well they said would get me monday we will see!

I received a call from Scott Johnson from 3477538183. He too was saying I have a payday loan that I did not pay. They said I'm being sued and my family will have to go to court and so will my employers. It was a false statement so don't send these guts any money.

I received a call from "Alex Dawson" he couldn't even speak well. The only words he said clearly were "you crazy". After I vented (great for stress) he told me that he was not going to tell me what I owed or any info regarding the call. The fool was so scrambled all he could say was f-you numerous times. He told me in 15-20 days I will get "what's coming to me".

I am receiving calls from a man with a very thick accent saying it is very important i call him back at (347)753-8183 but the number that came up on caller ID was (212)601-9268 which is a disconnected number.  He says that if i do not return his call, then ...all he can do is wish me good luck...
these are SCAM artists!
yesterday i received a call from a different thick accented man saying I had court today at 11am with 3 allegations against me and that i had better get a lawyer.  All for a loan i took out on the internet which I NEVER have!  I told him that this was a scam and hung up on him.
How can these people get away with this??

Called today at my job but I knew it was a scam when he gave me the number I looked it up online his name was Mark Miller how stupid they think I am really going to tell them anything

I recevied a message a my work tellng me to call him or have my attorney call him he has a very thick accent he told me to god help me if i do not call. how do you stop these messages.

I recently got a message on my voice mail at work from someone named MARK MILLER @ 347-753-8183 with a very thick accent. He indicated that I should return the call regarding a very urgent and important matter against my social security number. I get them every other month  I don't know what this is about and haven't brothered to return the call.  I believe this is a SCAM. I have been checking my credit report and have signed up for credit monitoring services with the various credit agencies just in case.  This has to stop.

The number that they call on is a "magic jack" line that is totally untraceable.  Same story-total scam. I had fun listening to the whole story and then when he asked me for a fax with my ID, my card #, a written authorization to run a payment, and blah blah blah, i FINALLY called him out on it. I threatened to report it, he said he didn't care. I told him to go F himself, and when he realized he wasn't getting any money from me, he started engaging me in a bunch of profanities.  Good times.  Be cautious, but have your fun. Funny thing is, I work in debt collection-and they didn't even come CLOSE to following the laws. BEWARE :) Refused to give me a docket #, didn't understand when i asked what COUNTRY he was calling from-kept saying NYC but didn't know the word country.  I also asked if his building was a tall building with a lot of windows he could throw himself out-he didn't understatnd.  I had a lot of fun.

I got the same call today. I first asked the guy for an alternate number to call back and speak to someone else. Which he could not do. I knew it was a scam because the guy could barely speak English. I sent off an e-mail to the REAL Dept. Of Justice informing them and included the phone number. I believe it is illegal to impersonate an officer which a US Marshall is.

They just called me a jack cobb saying something about a loan that was not paid off i know this is a scam because the company he told me about i never ewven heard  of them i think they buy there list off the loan people and start harrasing you well they picked a smart cookie to mess with bring it

Do not call this number again.  I do not have a loan out that I haven't paid off.  This is a scam and I don't owe any money to anyone.  If  you call me again, I will press charges against you.

I received a at work from a Jack Scott whome left a VM message only that their is a legal matter he wants to discuss and wants my attorneys number and stated the amount.  have nothing better to do and most embarrassing the nerve of them calling me at work when I have a lot of WORK

You should record any future conversations.  They would be great on YouTube!

I just recieved a call like this from a "Jack Scott" at the Justice Department who sounds middle eastern .  I told him I am not allowed to receive personal calls at work and that I have told them before.  He said there is a lawsuit being filed against me tomorrow and gave me his number to give to my attorney.  I asked him why they refuse to send me the information so I can forward it to my attorney...he hung up on me.  I already have filed complaints with the FBI and everytime they call me they say that a police officer si going to come to my residence or work and arrest me....that was 6 months ago....I am still waiting

Just have lots of fun with these guys, could not stop laughing the whole time we spoke. I kept asking for a docket number for the case "being file tomorrow morning."  Caller kept getting angry and really showed broken English every time I replied that I needed the docket number.  I then just replied if the case is bing filed tomorrow then there is no case.  The caller became very angry and started mixing up his scipted lines.  I then repeated "You already said that,  but you did not give me the docket number."  The term docket number definetly makes them upset, he then repeatedly asked me to let him finish.  "The sooner you give me the docket number, the sooner you can finish," made his supervisor very upset.  Reply to "Only God can save you now" with "Unless God gives me a docket number, God can't save me." It really upset him and he had to pause for a few moments between the BS scripted lines.

I get the same call about 2-3 months, with the same message as all of the above, I took a cash loan and did not pay back their client so pay up if I do not want to go behind bars. I got one last evening on my way home, I still have the message on my cell, said his name was Christian Slatter, thick foreign accent. I told him for the last time if he could not give me proof of this transaction he can go F@# himself, then I tried calling back to tell him he would hear from my lawyers but the call does not go through. I cam in to work this morning and got a message on my job phone same number same name, I tried calling back the number but the line seems dead.

So I keep getting calls from this number saying that I owe money for a loan I supposedly got. Do I contact my local police to file a complaint or what do I do to stop them from calling me????

Total Scam. Everything written in different report is done with me also. Today they said I am calling from BCI and they will put me behind the bars. When I said my attorney will talk to you then they said what you can do to get out of the this. Its total fraud. He call himself american and from accent its clear he is from middle east. These calls comes from 0000 or 052573584 INTL. Just be aware of these people.

I too received a call from this number from a man saying his name was Fred Wilson. He had the worst accent ever! He claimed I owed him $1200 but that he would reduce it to $835 if I made mayment today. I asked him what the collection was for and he claimed it was a payday loan. I did take out an payday loan with a company but it was long paid in full. I asked "Fred" to send me the statement of what I owe so I can look at it. He told me he is unable to do that and began yelling at me saying I need to just send payment now to avoid a lawsuit. When I asked how to make a payment, he instructed me to go to Western Union. I told him I was not comfortable with paying that way and instead told him I will pay with a credit card. (I had no real intention of paying his anything). He told me the ONLY form of payment he can accept is wire transfer. I asked for the mailing address and he refused to give it to me. Then he started yelling that he is a police officer with the Justice Dept of America and will come and lock me up if I refuse to pay. I could not beleive this conversation was actually taking place. The guy was impersonating an officer and threatening me. I told him I was going to report him to the BBB. He had no clue what I was talking about. I then told him that the whole call was being recorded and he quickly hung up on me. I came to find out that I was receiving these calls because my identy had been stolen and sold to this fake collection company by the payday loan folks. They had my SS#, all of my credit card numbers, my drivers license number, my home and work phone numbers and addresses, my signature, my birth date and my bank account numbers to 2 different banks. There people had opened credit accounts all over the United States in my name. They had wiped out my bank accounts and charged up my credit cards. I had to fight to close everything and not be held liable for the fraudgelent charges. My credit is destroyed and red flaged and I am still trying to rebuild my life. I continue to get calls everyday from these people. They always threaten to send a lawsuit but never do. I would welcome one. Moral of this story, do not ever sign up for a payday loan.

I receive calls EVERY DAY numerous times at work for a lady named Ronda. There is no such person here and this man will even leave a message if you do not pick up. He says his name is Frank Hunt. He pauses before he says his name (probably because he has to read his made up script). He has a very strong Indian/Jamaican accent. It is almost not even understandable. He calls from what sounds like a telethon taking place in the background. He goes on to say that Ronda needs to call him back immediately and that if he does ot hear back from her then it is out of his hands he can not help her to avoid the law suit she will receive. He ends the message with May God bless your soul. I'm sorry, but is that not a threat? How is this able to occur? Where are the laws to protect people from these kinds of scams? Obviously he got this number mistakenly or these scammers are just pulling numbers out of a phone book and harrasing them. It needs to stop!

I get a call from these people at least 3-4 times daily.  They call at home, at work, even on my cell.  Each time they call, they tell me the same story - that i am being sued for money owed and a lawsuit is pending.  Meanwhile, I have never received any notification of money owed or a lawsuit filed.  I call the number back and it is busy.  Complete total scam.  I reported it to a number of authorities but nothing ever happens.  The only solution to the number seems to be changing your telephone number.  Do not fall for this scam.

These people are CRAZY they called my job and left message with a co-worker to have me call GARY THOMPSON  because it was very important! Yeah right! They told her that there was a case against me and I was being sued tomorrow morning for money owed. These people called once before ( foreign accent - very hard to understand ) and when questioned got irate and started yelling at me! When I told him my attorney advised me to have him send me notification in writing of who and what I owed, he just continued to yell and demand I give him payment and provide my bank information ! Like that was really going to happen, in any event I never received written notification, imagine that. This is a big scam and unfortunately some people fall for it, however don't give in, and go online and file a complaint with FTC.gov.

Beth,

I believe its the same guy that keep calling me. he has a very thck accent can't understand half the stuff he is saying.

I've been receiving harassing phone calls on my job from 347-7538183 from a guy saying he is with the USA Justice Department.  I want to know how can I or what do i need to do to make him stop calling my job.

I have been harassing phone calls on my job from this number.  How do I make them stop?

this is a huge Scam......somebody needs to stop them, they somehow get your information and then try and act like you owe them money. I know it's false and try and never let you speak......it's annoying and harassing.

they tried to get me too the callers name was scott johnson with a strong middle eastern accent saying i owed money to a federal bank called advance america cash advance beware of these people

THEY CALLED ME TALKING ABOUT HIS NAME WASD MICHAEL FROM SOME COMPANY THERE. WITH A STRONG ACCENT YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

They called my office looking for somone named Richard Connor, I have no idea who that is.  I got a few other calls for Richard Connor from insurance companies wanting to give him a quote, it seems that this person filled out a bunch of online applications.  That's probably how these scam artists get your information.  They keep calling threatening lawsuits and criminal charges.  I told them that I am an attorney (which I am) and that I was reporting them to the FTC for violating the Fair Debt Collections Act.  They immediately hung up, and I reported them.  Everyone who is getting calls from these people needs to report them to the FTC on their website at FTC.gov as well as to your state Attorney General.

once again the scammers strike.  this time with a mark miller.  the caller id says "052573584 INTL" but the call back is 347-753-8183.  i tested this 347 number and it is d/c!!!
