I am trying to compile complaints on these cases.  I have contact information i am local law enforcement they keep identifying themselves as one of our deputies.

Trying to make sure everyone is aware of this scam.  There are several numbers out there being utilized.  the newest one is 818-408-8943.  Just hang up and do not send any money at all.  They are claiming to be Law Enforcement but they are not.  Do not give them any information either that they can keep using.

The number 407-777-0876 is a phone scam originating in India. They are utilizing VoIP to contact potential victims.  They have moved into utilizing 818-408-8943 as well.  They are stating that Scott Masson or Scott Miller is a detective with the Orange County Sheriff in Orlando.  This is not true.  Be aware and do not give them any information or money.  If you have any questions about phone scams contact your local law enforcement agency.

I've seen complaints on another thread about a Ricky Clark posing as a sheriff. Pretty much the same story...."you owe money on a payday loan".

Has anyone else received calls from this 407 number from a man by the name of Ricky Clark saying that took a payday loan out from Cash USA and claim to be from the American Law Enforcement Department.

This people are calling from India and doing telephone scam.Don't give them s***.They are harnessing people for payday loans. Have you ever heard about this funny thing that an American Law Enforcement can call people and recovering payday loan payments?????????????
I am sorry but we are fool it doesn't mean that they are brilliants because we have to think and search that there is no such enforcement is working in our country to collect the debt..
Wake up and please don't throw your money to these scam people.
just contact your local police department.
Ask them about their website of their department or agency.
Ask for their address and search it in Google.
Ask for lander company's name, website, agreement copy,date and in which bank account the loan was deposited.Check your bank statement.
THEY ARE INDIAN SCAM ARTIST WHO CANT SPEAK AND SPELL THEIR OWN WORDS..
POOR THIRD NATION LOW IQ PEOPLE.
DON'T GIVE THEM ANYTHING AND MAKE THEM FOOL.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C. December 07, 2010     

   FBI National Press Office (202) 324-3691

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.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller?s instructions. Rather, you should:

   Notify your banking institutions.
   Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
   Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
   File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

   Never give your Social Security number?or personal information of any kind?over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
   Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
   Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
   Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
   Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
   When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

How often can a debt collector call me?

That depends.  Under the FDCPA, a debt collector may not call any person repeatedly or continuously with the intent to annoy, abuse, or harass them.  In practice, though, it can be difficult to determine whether and when a debt collector has crossed this line.  According to the Federal Trade Commission, a debt collector may almost certainly call you more than once, but six calls per day is probably too many.  Between these extremes, it depends on the facts of your particular case.




Know Your Rights!

Debt collectors violate the FDCPA when they make harassing, threatening, or misleading statements in order to trick you into making payments.  Don't be fooled!  Learn to recognize when debt collectors cross the line, and stand up for your rights!
Harassing and/or Abusive Statements violate the FDCPA:

   Threatening to have you arrested or jailed
   Threatening to take your SSI or other protected income
   Threatening to take your household furniture
   Threatening to cause physical injury to you or your property
   Threatening to send false information about you to the credit reporting agencies
   Using obscene or profane language

False and/or Misleading Statements violate the FDCPA:

   Misrepresenting the character, amount, or legal status of the debt
   Making empty threats to scare you
   Pretending to work for a credit reporting agency
   Pretending to work for a government agency
   Falsely claiming to be an attorney or to work with attorneys
   Sending you fake legal papers to confuse you, or telling you to ignore real legal papers.

Abusive and/or Unfair Practices violate the FDCPA:

   Calling you or any other person repeatedly with intent to annoy, harass, or abuse you, or any person at that number
   Calling you after you have sent a cease letter.
   Calling or contacting you without disclosing that they are debt collectors trying to collect a debt
   Collecting interest, fees, collection expenses, or other charges that are not authorized by your original payment agreement
   Soliciting postdated checks with the intent to threaten to expose you to criminal charges, or soliciting postdated checks and then threatening to deposit them early.
   Contacting you by postcard, or contacting you in any way that would disclose to a third party that they are debt collectors.

I was placed on hold and an other man with a accent came on.  He told me I have legal charges against me from some Pay day USA loan company. He told me I had to go to Walmart and get a Green Dot Money Pack, had to make sure it had no experation date, or CV code etc and I had to put $371 dollars on it.. and that he would call me back to get the Money Pac number and this could all be settled.

This is an extortion scam operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:

I recieved a call from this same number claiming to be Sherif Officer Steve Cooper with the Orange County Florida Sherif Department State. He has a heavy Indian accent with a background that sounds like he calling from a warehouse somewhere out there reading off this message is intended for __________. reads a civil case number off of my ss# and that i need to call him back at 407-777-0876 something to do with arrest warrant. I called the Orange County Florida Sherif Department and i was told that it is a SCAM! they did not have anyone logged on by this name.  She told me not to worry do not call that number back. I've filed a police report with the city i live in, and also the city that i work in.

Have been getting calls from this number for over a year, usually an Indian accent, asking for an employee that has not worked for our agency in over seven years!!! Will not quit calling, even though we have explained the employee can not be reached at our number. They threatened legal action, saying a police officer is coming to arrest me, called our receptionist horrible names, have even called 6 or 8 times in one day. This is definitely a scam... some sort of second party bill collector. I just put them on hold now until they hang up. Looking for ways to permanently block the number.
