I received a call from Officer Jack Austin and Attorney Michael Wright with the California Federal Crime Bureau state pending charges for pay day loa 2009-2010 and if I didn't give them $2,550.00 file would be downloaded and a warrant would be issued for my arrest.  I asked for documentation as proof that I had taken out a loan with SJM Marketing.  They just became beligerent and ridicolous. Both gentlemen had heavy indian accents very difficult to understand.  It is disturing because they have my banking information, obviously my information has been hacked.  HOW IRONIC THIS PHONE NUMBER IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE NOW.  ONE WOULD SAY THAT IS THERE MOTTO CONSTANTLY CHANGING NUMBERS AND ON THE RUN.  GOD DOESN'T LIKE UGLY THEY WILL BE CAUGHT EVENTUALLY AND DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY.  BEWARE

Someone keeps callin my phone and job by the name of steve rogers. He is harassing me terribly!!!! I know its a scam. Who is he????

I am gettting harrassing phones calls from an officer he claims to be by the name of Steve Rogers.
He has called numerous times talking about he has issued a warrant and will be sending the polices to my job.  It has gotten so bad that the secretary had to hang up on him. Something needs to be done immediately about this.

I received a call this morning from a guy with a bad accent claiming to be Greg Johnson. The number he called from was 510-256-0361 but the number he told me to call back was this 818-337-3040. It seems they have many different numbers...He said he was with the Federal Leg. of Customer Repair Center. He left a message on my cell phone stating that he had premission from my attorney ( I do no have an attorney) to contact me, then he went so far as to tell me he knew my ssn and that I have 3 criminal charges against my name and ssn. I pulled up my court records and there are no such charges, which I knew there wasn't. When I tried to find out information on these numbers and his name, nothing was available. I just happened to pull these numbers up on google and found all these complaints against this guy/company. Does anyone know how to put a stop to this. Any help would be greatly apperciated.

please beware of these scammers and con-artists ! the phone calls had stop for awhile but now I just recieved this one . yea a heavy Indian accent with a phony name like Jack, Logan or James Brown acking for my lawyer's info for a law suite that doesn't exist .

I was on my lunch break and came back to a voicemail from an Indian guy named "Johnny Walker". I dont even know if he was directly asking for me, but he said that it was a very time sensitive issue and that I need to call back immediately. Finally, he ends the message, "If you do not call back, then all I can do is wish you good luck" like it was a life and death matter. The only thing that upsets me is that it makes me wonder how he got my name and work phone number. I hope this scammer gets caught and gets deported.

This placed called my sister which the number showed up on her caller ID as 911.  That is the only reason why she answered.  She was then informed that she is going to be arrested because there is a warrant out for her arrest (which I told her was impossible) and mine because of a cash advance from 2009.  I have asked "Mike" ...with a very heavy accent...numerous times to simply send me something in writing.  Today he informed me that the "company" has sent me numerous emails and they only correspond via email.  I proceeded to inform him that legal matters are not send via email.  Seriously...there is a process...its called an intent to collect wages (or something similar).  I told my sister not to worry about the calls.  We are both trying to figure out how to report this number as they call my job often but recently started calling my sister.

FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!!!! STOP CALLING MY JOB YOUR NUMBER HAS BEEN REPORTED (408) 216-8931 JADE LOGAN.... YOU ARE A SCAM AND THE POLICE ARE INVESTAGATING YOUR CALLS TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This person called my place of employment stating his is from the Federal Trade Commission.  Upon looking up the phone number and reading the comments, clearly he is not.  BEWARE.  Look up phone numbers and report them.

^^^^ AGREED !

The number 408-216-8931
Name: "Officer" Steve Rogers
Company: Federal Commission Buerau

He starts the message smoothe and when he begins to say that if i do not call back within 10-15 minutes
he will have his colleague Dominique at my place of employment AND my mailing address to take me AND my manager into contempt. SCAM SCAM SCAM ! DO NOT BE THREATENED BY THIS INDIAN WANNABE !! -____-

They call me today said I owed 15,000 on a loan I told them i could prove I didn't get any such loan he started yelling at me saying I was going to go to jail if I didn't pay ... I told him again I can prove this is not true I didn't get a loan the guy then hangs up on me I called back the same guy picks up and tells me to never call them again he didn't want to talk to me.......... weird....Right?

Got two harrassing phone calls saying if I didnt pay $243 I was going to jail. They got defensive when questioned and they couldnt tell me how the loan was through that I supposedly had and I could only pay by prepaid visa card. Not to mention the heavy India accent you could barely understand.

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.

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

I got the same msg.even of someone owes a payday loan company, they can't take u to jail.they file s motion for a judgement and have ur wages garnished. They can't take u to jail
I told him he's going to hear from my states attorney for harassing and threatening me.its a scam. They go online and find people that had payday loans and wants to try to get u to send him money. Meanwhile the company u do owe will never get the money. To all put there tell him your going to give hos info to your states attorney

I have been getting calls from this and other numbers stating the same thing.  I am filing a formal complaint with the police department as every time I have ever called these people back it goes to some recording stating that the mailbox is full.  These people are just hoping that someone freaks out and gives them permission to use your bank info.  I did not receive these calls until I got an online payday loan, then some company took 40 bucks from my account that I didn't authorize, and after I notified my bank of this and disputed the charges, the phone calls started.  I think it has something to do with online pay day loans, so please, just don't get them, even if you need the cash that quick, it is just not worth it.

I just got two messages from this guy today saying the same thing about he is from a law firm, how do i stop this?

They said i took out a pay day loan and never paid it back and that my credit history was going to have a bal of $17,000 and that i was going to jail

This person called my place of employment stating his is from the Federal Trade Commission.  Upon looking up the phone number and reading the comments, clearly he is not.  BEWARE.  Look up phone numbers and report them.

I have been receiving these harassing phone calls from this guy saying his name is attorney Brad Delsym for the past 4 months now, the guy sounds like a foreigner. He says he is from a law firm but fails to mention the name of the law firm. He leaves messages on my work phone saying that he was going to take me and into contempt and my manager. When I receive the messages on my cell phone now he is now threatening to come to my place of employment and take me and my manager into contempt. I don't know what is going on!!

I have been recieving these harassing phone calls from this guy saying his name is attorney Brad Delsym for the past 4 months now, but the phone call sounds like a scam I can barely understand what the guy is saying because he sounds like he is from india! He says hes from a law firm but fails to mention the name of the law firm. When he was calling my mothers phone looking for me he would leave messages to her saying that he was going to take me and her into contempt. Now that I am recieving the messages on my phone now he is now treatening to come to my place of employment and take me and my manager into contempt. I dont know what is going on but I feel there is a lot more to this phone call then what this guy is mentioning. And for being a professional he is really unprofessional with the way he talks!

This guys states he is with a law firm and I am being sued for a payday loan of 200 dollars that was taken out on December 2 which is tottally false and now the account is at 4000 at the end of the voice mails he always says good luck right there I know its a scam. I have filled numerous police reports and just recently started a report with the secret service I suggest everyone do the same so we can stop these people from hurting others

Ever since I got a payday loan I have had so many harrasing calls with people sounding like they were from India claiming to be lawyers threatening to sue me. Since I am on disability and have not done anything wrong I know its a scam. I have had about 15 different calls over the past 4 months. Every number but this one has other posts about people going through the same harrasement.
