The scammer who goes by Mark Zetter has also been trying to scam me out of money. It is crazy the means that he goes to to scam - I posted on Craigslist that I could help people watch their pets. He tried to use my post to cheat me out of money. I won't go into details, but basically it was obvious he was a scammer, and the facts didn't add up. I am surprised that he is still using this name. He also began to call my phone as a blocked caller (I had put my number on Craigslist), and text my phone saying he was his own travel agent (he prentended to be a second person). He is not a great scammer, but still gets alot of money out of this I'm sure. Because of him I no longer advertise on Craigslist that I will take care of pets. Maybe later I will again, but right now no way!

When the machine picked up caller hung up.

THIS PERSON BY THE NAME OF OFFICER CHARLES BROWN HAS BEEN CALLING MY CELL PHONE AND REPEATADLY CALLING MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT NONSTOP... ONE CALL AFTER ANOTHER I TOLD HIM THAT IF HE DIDNT STOP CALLING I WOULD REPORT HIM TO THE FBI AND HE FLAT OUT SAID I WAS A CRIMINAL AND TO GO AHEAD AND CALL THE LAW THAT HE WISHES THEY WOULD ARREST ME.  THAT CALLING YOU GUYS WILL NOT HELP ME OUT WHAT SO EVER AND THAT HE WOULD NOT STOP CALLING. PLEASE HELP ME THIS GUY IS TERRORIZING ME AT HOME AND AT WORK AND IS CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE HE IS TYING UP THE BUSINESS PHONE LINES. THE NUMBER HE IS CALLING ME BY IS 347-844-6656.

THANKYOU ,

lol thank you guys..lol now I can live in peace..ha ha but imma call them and let them know about themselves. lol

I got a call from 347-441-4048, Mark "Something" with a message to call back right away, or  face the legal consequences.  They said the message was for a "Lindsay", !. VERY THICK accent, unsure if it was even a man or woman.  I let it go to voicemail, and got the number from the message that they left.  ...............No number or no name, I don't answer..............

This number has been calling me AND one of my employees for a month now.  It's always a male with a heavy non-American accent saying that he is an Officer.  Appears to sound from India or Pakistan.  He has called 24 times in the last few hours.  Almost sounds drunk.  When I ask him what he wants, he just dares me to record the call and call the FBI.  Funny, I actually have a friend that IS in the FBI, so I'm calling him now.  My advice is to block the call or don't answer.  They will eventually move on to another victim.

Ok so check this out.. yesterday... they called my cell phone.. it goes right to voice mail so all i get is the threats.
But they have my work phone # I recognized the number when it popped up on caller ID...I hung up.. immediatly within seconds they called back... from 846 am pacific time until 855 pacific time I received 21 calls from this A hole.... read my previous post to tell u why I call them this...
So I thought HMMM how do I get this to stop... Thank you work for allowing us to have our radios on our desk with eadphones.. I picked up the receiver.... waited for the call to ring.. held the headphones over the receiver and hit answer whil BLASTING my radio...
I hope it hurt you bstrd... well he hung up within seconds then the stupid FOOL called back... DANG... it took him Less time to hang up that time...
Just do crazy crap like that... I have not heard from him on my work phone the rest of yesterday or today... these are not nice people... but my cell phone I receiveng the threats... so Im going to just let them continue to call and not answer that one.. I will set the numbers to ignore and that way I no longer have to deal with these idiots..

For at least the last four years, possibly longer, a group has been calling former payday loan applicants advising them that they have defrauded a bank and are now being sued for non-payment of a loan.  The callers will claim to be calling on behalf of an attorney's office (name varies), the Dept. of Law and Investigation, ACS, or other similar combinations below:

United Legal Processing Division
Midline Marketing
Crime Monitoring Services
Monetary Crime Division
U.S. National Bank
Attorney General?s Office (usually in California)
American Legal Services
Affidavit Consolidation Services (ACS)

You will be threatened with arrest, a costly trial and possibly worse.  In no shape, way or form can you be arrested for non-payment on a consumer debt.  Do not believe these threats, as they are without merit and cannot be carried out in the manner they allege.  

Who are they?

In the past when pressed by law enforcement for an address, the callers have provided the following information:

David Morgan and Associates
Morgan & Associates
Morgan Associates
954-727-8481
1155 Northwest 85th Street
Wintergarden, Florida  33150
(Address is likely invalid)

The collector's MO matches a once legit collections agency called Ellis Crosby & Associates.  Here are some links on them:

http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/ellis_crosby_and_associates.htm
http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/EllisCrosbyJudgment.pdf

They have been previously fined over $1.3 million for various violations.  They have been known to use phone banks in India to make their calls, which more or less coincides with the difficult to understand accent many of us detect when we are contacted.  

The last time this group went by any "official" name was back in 2008:

Ellis Crosby & Associates / Douglas & Morgan Associates
4494 Southside Boulevard Suite #200
Jacksonville Florida 32216
Phone:  800-928-3536 / (904) 928-3536
(Address is likely invalid)

There are NUMEROUS consumer alerts out against this group of individuals:

West Virginia:
http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm

Missouri:
On July 15th, 2010 a Public Awareness Bulletin was sent out by Missouri Information Analysis Center.  

"..received reports from individuals in Ohio and Illinois reference suspicious telephone calls they received. In both instances, the callers are reporting that a voicemail is received from a man, with a Middle Eastern accent, identifying himself as an officer working with the Financial Crimes Unit.  The message indicates that the reason for the call concerns a loan made by the receiver or someone in the receiver's family. The voicemail requests that a return call be made and a telephone number is provided. When a return call is made, the caller is asked to provide personal identifying information such as their date of birth and social security number.

Reports indicate that the calls are frequent and persistent and that they even threaten arrest or legal action if information or money is not provided. It appears that the individuals making these calls may have access to some records connecting individuals and their relatives.  Missouri does not have a Financial Crimes Unit and all indications are that this is a fictitious agency. If you receive a similar phone call, please be advised that it is a scam and please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Missouri Information Analysis Center at 866-362-6422."

Bottom line:

Do not supply the callers with any additional information.  Inform them you have reported them to law enforcement and hang up.  If you haven't already, go ahead and report the calls to local law enforcement, your state's Attorney General and beyond.  Look up the local Secret Service branch's information in your area and get in contact with an agent there.  

If you ever applied for a cash advance online, your information is out there.  
Possible sources for the breach of your privacy are:

* The scammers obtained your information from Teletrack - a reporting agency used by many cash advance lenders to determine their risk lending to you.  The service is able to tell cash advance lenders if you have existing loans with other companies, for example.  Many state laws prohibit borrowers from having more than two cash advances out at the same time.

* The scammers created their own fake payday loan application site.  People looking for a cash advance went to the site and applied, thus freely providing the scammers with their information for malicious use at a later time.  

* The scammers were able to get into the database(s) of cash advance lenders - probable targets being Sonic Payday and Cashnet USA.  


How to protect yourself:

* Inform your employer.  You are likely getting calls at home and/or at work, so make sure your employer is aware the calls are part of a scam and to not take them seriously.  Advise the callers that they are no longer allowed to call you at work.  If they continue to call, document the date and time of the calls you received.  Save voice mails left if at all possible.  

* Change your number(s).  For some this may not be an option, for others a one-time number change can be done free of charge.

Be advised - any references you listed on your payday loan application will be contacted.  Let those people know that this is a scam, and they can disregard.

* Use Google Voice.  Google Voice is a great replacement voice mail system for just about any phone number you use.  Messages can be transcribed and voice mail recordings can be saved as mp3 files.  

Pro Tip - call the scammers with a Google Voice number before turning off your old phone numbers.  Make sure when you call you identify yourself so they can start up their script.  At any point after they have your information pulled up just hang up.  They will then start religiously calling your Google Voice number.  At this point, you are free to change your regular phone number(s) and enjoy not having these people ever call you again.  (And laugh at the fact these people are basically talking to a brick wall several times a day)

The scammers change their numbers frequently.  Law enforcement used to think it was because the callers ran out of minutes on their prepaid wireless accounts or they were shuttered due to fraud, but now they understand it's simply to evade detection by savvy consumers online.  With the proliferation of VoIP, it's even easier for the crooks to stay a couple of steps ahead of law enforcement.  Below is just a sampling of the 30+ numbers that have been used in recent memory.

So can they really do anything to you?

It's not a simple yes or no answer.  Logic dictates that, if they really wanted to take you for a ride and drain your bank accounts, they already would have.  

So, why haven't they?  

Authorization.  

Why do you think you are being called so much?  Perhaps it is because they like the sound of your voice?  No, they have to have your authorization to take any form of payment from you, period.  The callers know their audience, and that audience is typically a bunch of people that have applied for payday loans in the past.  Most of those people they call couldn't afford an attorney if they wanted one, and are so used to receiving collections calls that so long as they sound like a real collector, they will likely be perceived as one.

Furthermore, they don't even really want to talk to your attorney - that just sounds official and scary enough.  A real attorney would take the callers to task and write them off as two-bit con artists.  The callers need you, in writing, to authorize payment against the fictitious debt they claim you owe.  Go ahead, ask them for proof you owe the debt - more commonly known as verification of debt.  See what they say.  A phone authorization carries very little weight, so if they have something signed by you on file, you are done for - and the callers know that.  That authorization is the only thing these callers are doing by the book, and for good reason.  If they just went all willy nilly and made an ACH debit from your checking account, without your written approval, you could in turn report the transaction as fraudulent to your financial institution.  In about 7-10 business days, you would get the funds returned to your account.  Then the scammers would be up against a bank and their team of lawyers and investigators.  

Bottom line:

If you haven't paid the callers a dime, don't.  If you planned on paying them to shut them up, just don't.  Remember - you are not being contacted by a legally licensed, ethically owned and operated collector.  Read up on the FDCPA - http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf - and know your rights.

i have been recieving phone calls from 3478446656 saying he is j and b bramb he has my social he has my bank information he has my citi financial he is saying i owe money and need to pay him immediatly he has cursed me threatened to take me to court i have recorded him it says he is located in new york he calls me everyday 3 or 4 times a day he has my whole families information i dont appreciate it everyday its something new its magazines or loans i am a veteran i dont need this

Hi, Yes, this is a scam. They are located in India but are using ghost numbers in the US. I have talked to the Lisa Madigans office the Illinois Attorney General. Her office informed me that this is a scam and they have been trying to catch these people. They know where they are from but because US has not jursditction in India they are unable to do anything to them at this time. The local policy in IL are aware as well. However, nothing they can do. They informed me that I was told ignore the calls and not answer them. The person calling is saying he is going to come to my job and arrest me. He said he's name was officer Jonh Ryan; using 2 1st names.

I have received the exact same phone calls from office Jack Williams, Lisa Williams  attorney with department of financial investigations (couldn't pronounce my name correctly) and others from 347-441-4048 and other numbers both at work 3-4 times a day and on my cell phone, I reported it to the FBI.  
They are harrassing and very rude.

Please, Please do not let these guys scare you..it is illegal to try to collect money if you owe it or not in a violent way. the police WILL NOT come arrest you... You WILL NOT go to jail for failure to pay a debt.... They are scammers who got your name from one of those cash advance places on line. IT should be illegal for those places to sell your info to them but it is not. Please use caution... you are just going to have to remain calm and ride it out.. they will eventually get tired of trying to contact you I hope.. but read my story please I confronted him... and he got sexually violent with me... telling me things that a MAN should NEVER Tell a lady.....

I remained calm though he laughed and laughed thru most of the phone call I really wanted to scream and yell... but I did not.... It is not worth it.... they are not worth it...

message left by officer andrew fletcher company department of finacial and investigations
I let it go to voice mail.....
I returned the call.. the man said his name was mark williams and the company was department of investigations


here is how it all unfolded...


Those scammers called again.. I let it go to voice mail on my work phone... then I called them back. The man said he is Mark williams when I called him back but the one who left the message is officer andrew fletcher...  oh well...

I asked for the name of his company.. he said department of investigations when I asked for the address they would not give it to me at all... kept asking me why I needed that information and I said why do you need my name if you wont give me your address.

then I advised that he was reported to the FBI he then told me that he was not even in the US so I asked where he was located he said I am in pakastan, I said oh that is a nice country. He said that he is getting hundreds and thousands of dollars from the US stupid people who get scared and send them money. Then I said wait a minute your not scaring me you are not getting anything from me? he said well maybe not you but certainly you stupid american people I told him that is not of my concern, just stop calling me at work he said he will continue to call me until I get FIRED.. I said go ahead it wont matter anyway..... then he said he likes to F american girls and asked how old I was he said he was 23 I told him my age was not important and that was really inappropriate behavior from someone who was making a business call. He then said that he will call me EVERY DAY.. I said that is ok I wont have a job that long anyway.... then I asked if the company was hiring he said the only way he would hire me is to come there and suck on his thing (I didnt think of it at the time but I should have told him it was not long enough)  that is the only way Im going to get a job hello... stupid guy...

He was laughing and saying how stupid the american people are. to give him all the money they have

I finally told him that was inappropriate and he needs to stop calling me...

I hung up on him... JERK....



What a waste of skin on a human being....

That same number has been calling me asking for a person I have no knowledge of... I told him I do not know who that person was and he outright called me a liar. I told him I would report him for harrassment...He called 3 days in a row.   Calls stopped for a few today and again today another phone call.....but from a number that did not show, and again asking for the same person..... I hung up on them.... 5 times in a row they called back and I would not answer. This is so annoying... I have reported their number for the do not call, but what do you do when the number  or name does not show when they call ? Phone is ringing again... same one calling... no number, no name.

This number: 347-844-6656 has called me three times in the past few days. The first time the number came up in all ones on my caller ID. I let the answering machine pick it up. He claimed to be some man (could barely understand him). He brought up my sisters name and said i was involved because i was a reference. he said my sister was being investigated on fraud charges (i know my sister very well, this is complete BULL). I found out he called my other sister and said the same thing!!!!!! When i looked up the number he left yesterday in the voicemail was completely different and from some place in California. This new number that shows up is from New York!

He calls today and now he says he is some police officer....what is wrong with this guy!? clearly this is some scam, i am becoming very annoyed that some ignorant man who i can barely understand is trying to scam me and my family. he needs to be put in jail.

DO NOT BELIEVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!

I called back tried to get a name of businness...I said is this cash advance...They said Yes...BS...They had employer info...very dangerouse group...Have to have law involved searching a way to remove them...Same peeps answr too

I did too...The poor english speak'n dude...started cursing..Trying to find a way to get this resolved...Stated he knew my employer...Spoke w/supervisor...Dont trust the whole thing though...We need to take this Mofo down...I 'm busy hak'n all info I can get on em.. What I do know is there out of Brooklyn Ny..Search the number & ya'll get a physical adddress!

block the number from coming through on your cell phone

ha, my guy said his name was Officer George Brown, this needs to be reported to the FBI

Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG. Buy a whistle or air horn and use it, God will forgive.

Please call this number repeatedly.  The male who will answer claims to be Dave Fletcher.  I spent 45 minutes talking to him.  He admits it is a scam but is proud of his skills.  Feel free to tell him he will burn in hell and is scum

Preditor is what I called them.  They called my place of employment twice today (1st caller left a voice message..I deleted the message; 2nd caller did not leave a message.  I will not answer they call let their message go to voice mail..delete the message.  Ignore the calls

Yes I received calls they called increments 30 minutes to my place of employment.  Announcing themselves as officers of the law.  One in particular announed himself as officer Jones. I need to pay a certain amount at that time if not they will be sending the police to my place of employment also asked to speak to my manager or boss.  Stating that I has committed a crime and that a Fedral office will be coming to my place of employment to arrest me.  I had a choice either payout at that time or I could make payment arrangement.  Fax 347-296-3087 a letter indicated that I agreed to pay the amount they indicated and how I would pay (indicated the credit card or debit visa number or either a Hallmark gift card number and what day it would be paid.  Each person that has call has a foreigh accent.

This is what happen when you apply for pay day loan on line, you get calls from Musabi Get-a-job.

Someone called from 347-844-6647 and left a massage on my work phone stating that his name is Austin McBride and calling to inform me that AVS has filed a lawsuite against me. I think he was calling from India and his accent did not match with the name Austin McBride is more like Musabi Get-a-job.

I have received the same call as texgirl with the same information.  It is very scary and they won't stop.

Thank you lamet for the information, I will be using the information right now to get this situation taken care of. Thanks Again!
Texgirl

http://consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/09/fdic_debt_collector_scam.html  9/7/2010 -NEWEST CONSUMER ALERT ?SCAMMERS NOW CLAIMING TO BE WITH FDIC

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.wvago.gov
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:

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden ? Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
?    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
?    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
?    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
?    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

Ok, Today had another message on my answering machine from the same number 347-844-6656, this time he left his name as Mark Zetter, when calling back he was "Mark Anderson",  when asking him what this matter was about he stated the phone call was being recorded, and that by Friday I would be in jail, due to a loan from Cash Net..I have no idea what Cash Net is, this guy should be arrested for impersonating an officer/lawyer.  I told him the phone call was being recorded 3 way with our local police department lol, he became even madder and said he had nothing to hide and goes "we will never call you again", or something of that nature as before I couldnt understand what he was really saying, when asking him to provide me proof he became very mad, but the bottom line is that this guy needs to be reporeted, I am so tired of the harassing phone calls, even calling me while I am at work! It has to stop some how, some way! What Can I do? Besides confronting  him about it being a scam and telling him off?

This number left a message on my answering machine stating something about fraud and filling a lawsuite against me..I have no idea what the man was even talking about, someone calling me from new york all the way to texas? come on!   if anyone has any information about this or how i can find out if this is a scam please feel free to send me an email at tx_longhorn_20052002@yahoo.com , I do feel this is a scam and I feel i should report this to our local police deparment.  He also had a very thick accent, I think indian, I could barely understand what he was saying.
