This caller calls and says they are from the Crime investifation Bureau, and my file has been given to them
and he gets very upset, because I probably sounded non-shelon and he saud he was sending the police
to arrest me.

I kept getting calls from this number and couldn't find out who it was they were calling my place of employment and bothering them about me.Finally I decided to google it and this what pops up.Today I was about 3 seconds away from sending them a payment of $345.00 and I luckily i googled it and got answers

Unfortunately I sent these people thousands of dollars an they are still callingan harrasing me ...... the only reason j sent it was because they said if I don't send it I would go to jail! Well I finally go the police involved an they are going to.investigate this issue
Sucks cause I almost lost my job. House an car

They called claiming u owe some debt and to go to Walmart order money order to pay them it's a scam

this company called my home and was very nasty on the phone and had made a threat that if we did not pay the money  $1484.56 in late fees that they would have us put in jail.  the idiot who called was named troy martin and said he was from cashnet usa and I want him stopped from calling and harrassing me

they always call and when we pick up no one is ever there.

Just got call from this number asking for my husband.  I asked what it was in reference to and he said that there was a lawsuit against him and that he'd have to call back.  He gave me this number and when I asked, said he'd be there for another hour.  The background noise -lots of other people on phones- made me suspicious; however, I was also very nervous, wondering if I should call my husband who was getting an MRI.  Instead, I tried to look up the number, then googled it.  Bingo, found this site.  Needless to say, I'm going to see how if and how I can report this. Other than that, I am just going to pretend it never happened.

So glad for this, and other similar sites for quickly calming me down.

If they call you again, inform them that you have notified the authorities and hang up or, better yet, contact your local police department or your state's Attorney General's office.  If you can, supply the police or the Attorney General's office a copy of your phone bill if it contains the phone number they have used to call you and/or that you have called them on.

Do NOT send them any money!!  Do NOT answer any questions they ask and do NOT supply these thieves with any personal information.  Simply hang up!  It is a scam, they are thieves!

Yeah, I sent them 491.00! I'd like to know how to get that back too if any one can help us here.

Yes, This all has just started for me. I too fell for their scam once. They called me again today 3 times by the number 1-347-757-5146. I didn't answer, I called the number back to see who it was and a lady answers the phone and it sounded like she said she was with the FBI. This is getting crazy! How did they get information on me like this??? Don't know how much more of this I can take!

This appears to be part of a two-pronged scam.  First, calls are made offering to settle past due debt(s), although the creditor is never identified.  There is no paper trail, no correspondence, simply repeated calls which include threats of lawsuits and even arrest..  A friend, unfortunately, fell for the scheme and, as instructed used Green Dot to send in a total of $456.00.  When further demands for more money were made and the money not forthcoming, calls began coming from 347 757-5146.  A male using the name "Jeremy" began demanding $756.00 and threatened arrest if the amount was not paid within 2hrs.  When the money was not forthcoming, the calls increased in frequency and the threats of a lawsuit and arrest escalated.  These people had obtained my friend's full name, work and personal phone numbers, birth date and social security number, made repeated calls to both his work and personal number, sometimes three, four, five times a day, each time demanding payment and stating that, should payment not be made, the "authorities" would arrive at my friend's work place to make an arrest.

When my friend finally informed me of what was happening, I called the 347 757-5146 number.  A female, using the name "Jessica Anderson", answered.  After I repeatedly asked the name of the company, this "Jessica Anderson" claimed she was an attorney of 20years experience  with Latham Watkins and denied, initially, that there was a "debt collections" department.  When asked if there was an employee by name "Jeremy", she suddenly changed her tune and said that "Jeremy" was in debt collections.  When asked if she was aware that "Jeremy" was in violation of both state and Federal laws and statutes with regard to debt collection practices, she be extremely defensive not to mention belligerent.  She did, however, disclose the payment history made by my friend via Green Dot, which confirmed to me that she and "Jeremy" were part and parcel of this two-pronged scheme.

I have, so far, notified my state Attorney General, Criminal Fraud Division,  the local police, the New York State Attorney General, spoken with representatives at Latham Watkins who are aware that their company name is being used by these thieves.  In addition, I have notified the FBI and will be corresponding with Green Dot as well as the cell phone carriers which service the various phone numbers being used by these thieves.  

DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!  Your first hint should be that, in the United States, one cannot be arrested nor imprisoned for debt with very few exceptions!  Legitimate debt collection agencies do not deal with a client strictly by phone and are subject to both state and federal laws and statutes and must comply or face legal penalties for non-compliance.

first i got calls from 217-960-2710, then 217-960-0689 then 818-485-1880 these were all the same person names of kevin smith or steve morgan claiming that I defaulted on a payday loan that I did not take out ... i asked to be mailed proof and was told they couldnt do that ... whatever .. also stating that they are going to bring a civil lawsuit against me if I don't pay ... good luck with that ... so I called my local pd and had them talk to this guy ... ever since the police talked to them they called but will now not leave threatening messages like they had been lol ... so after ignoring 2 more calls from 217-960-2710 this morning I get a call from 347-757-5146 ... did not answer and the msg that was left was that he was officer so and so from the FTC and that he has a subpoena with my name on it and I need to call him back immediately ... yeah I don't see that happening .. just blocked the numbers on my phone ... got to give these people an e for effort .. just wonder how many poor people fall for all their bs ...

After a scammy phone call from another number, this number was given to me to pay my legal fees to avoid going to jail from an alleged payday loan that I never paid back. It's apparently supposed to be the number for a back office of the Federal Credit Bureau. Such a joke!

I got same call saying i have to pay some debt. what does do they say... jessica, sandra????

I got the same call today.

do you have any updtes?

They said the SAME thing to me.  Unfortunately I sent them $525.00.  ANy ideas on how I can get it back?

They kept calling me saying they were from American Cash.  They say I got a payday loan from them but refused to say when and for how much.  They said they contacted an attorney and have already filed a lawsuit against me.  After several back and forth phone calls they then gave me an amount and a date.  When I told them I was looking at my bank statements from that months and I received no such deposit they said that won't hold up in court and I will still go to jail.  I stated that the court could subpoena my bank statements they said that wasn't good enough and wouldn't work in court.  I laughed and said ok.  They say I will be subpoena'd on Monday and possibly arrested.  We'll see!!

calling me saying they police same person that call from a miami fl now calling me from this number same voice call yesterday from 911 that is so stupid they need to get a real job and leave me alone because they ain't getting know monnnnnnnnnnnnney
