This stuff is very scarry

Call from William Blair saying that I owes 1000 dollar in payday loans. He said he was from MCI Debit Collection and that there was 3 federal warrants for me. I needed to pat 739 dollar by this afternoon or he'll the sheriff in my county to pick me up.

Got a call from William Blair...representing himself as "The Law Offices of William Blair" out of Atlanta Georgia. He called my home number this afternoon looking for my husband. Indicated he was calling to collect on a debt and that the call was being recorded for evidence. He stated the debt was for a payday loan that my husband had defaulted on in 2013. This is a crock...he or I have never taken out a payday loan. Now, we have applied for several car loans over the course of the past 3 months but no payday or advance loan. I would not cooperate with him and his questions and asked that he provide his company information (more than just his name and telephone number) and the company in which he is calling for to collect this debt, he refused and stated that all the information was in an "evidence file" and he could not disclose it to me. I hung up on him, I felt it was a scam. My inlaws then called me a half hour after this call and told me this same William Blair called their home phone number looking for my husband and my inlaws told them that he did not live there and asked him what the call was about and he told them that he was with the United States Immigration and that he was a police officer for them. He told my inlaws that if they didnt tell him where my husband was and how to reach him immediately that he would send immigration officers to come and arrest them and find my husband and arrest him too. Mind you, my inlaws and husband are of hispanic decent and this "William Blair" placed assumption that just because of the common latin last name they have carried from generation to generation that they must be "illegals" so he tried the "Immigration" card and get info on my husband that way. WOW~ didnt work! But this agency is definately a piece of work.....how can this even be legal to do to people. cant we do something about this?

I think you were scammed.

I heard from Ms. Marshall. Said I got $500 from the Loan Jar (which I've never heard of) in 2011,and I could pay now or go to court. Asked for details and she said they couldn't release as it was "evidence". Of course if this was real they're required by law to provide the Information. My response to them is I'll see you in court. Then they magically go away until they develop the next scam. I'm going to gather as much as possible information as possible and turn it over to the California attorney General.

People, do not be intimidated. this is a scam, and one of the foulest I've dealt with. They threaten you with court/jail which is absolutely awful. These people deserve to go to a jail themselves. What happened is somewhere you have submitted an application/personal info, it was sold (not very cool)


Report these people and if possible call them back and record the conversation for evidence to give to the authority's. It appears the are targeting indiscriminately so call your friends and relatives and warn them. It appears their M.O. is the same. Bounced checks on payday loans.

Real pieces of crap they are. I will write more if I can figure out exactly how our personal info and social security numbers were "purchased" sickening..

Got a phone call from this number stating they were issuing a warrant for my arrest for a $600 cash advance I took out in 2009. They had my name old address and last 4 digits of my social! The woman's name was Ms. Marshall. When I asked for more information she told me it was in the "evidence packet"! She then transferred me to another jerk that insisted on calling me "sweetheart" which only fueled my anger more. They told me I needed to pay a total of $1384 to get myself out of jail. I got off the phone and called the Sherriff's office in which they stated they were issuing a warrant and there was no record. The detective I spoke with said it was a common scam where they purchase my info from an online website. This call had me FURIOUS yesterday!

Released from where? Leave a check?? Leave a check where? Not liable for paying back what? This makes no sense....

You were jailed for a non-payment of a check??

what do you mean by to be released?

I had the same call from a Patricia McLeod 2 months ago and she stated something about a loan I did 4years ago I thought nothing of it at the time but I ended up having to pay over 1300 to be released not to mention the court cost it turns out if you leave a check you are liable for not paying back

got a call from this robin today and she wanted to talk to me or my atty had case # and everything sounded very formal. but that is all I got from her

Received a voicemail from Robin Marshall. She stated that she is from CES regarding a pending claim in Virginia. She stated that myself or my attorney needs to call them back otherwise, my claim will be submitted to a Virginia State Judge. She ended the message with "Govern yourself accordingly".

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

Same s*** they can't issue a warrant and i wont give a crap till i see proof. I want documentation that is real she said my last chance was last week. And then i get called again this week lol...Its a payday place that is trying to get a penny!!!! Scam

Received a call from a lady by the name of Patricia McCloud at 404-937-3180. She said she was issuing a warrant for my arrest because i didn't pay a pay day loan i took out in 2007. I asked her to email or mail me proof of debt and she said she didn't have to. I then asked for her information on her company (license #, Full name and address) to make sure she was legit and she said "have fun in jail" and hung up.
What's funny is that last Thursday I received a call at work from 877-690-4915 and a lady that didn't ID herself started saying the same thing, but i didn't question her because I was at work.
Until i get some proof of the debt and company information, I will not pay anything and I highly believe this is a scam.

Scam company trying to threaten with a warrant for arrest about a debt that doesn't exist.
