Apparently this is a recruiting office now. They call about jobs and things. Couldn't understand a word he said other than he mentioned a job opportunity.

Got a call again today from Jack Martin, with United processing legal dept. I'm done talking with these people. This is the biggest scam in america. This guy is definately indian, and says all the same stuff as all the scam calls I get. Especially the ending "I wish you good Luck"

This number is a scam, some indian guy saying his name is Jack Martin from united processing legal dept. Just like all the others telling you that you owe money and if you dont pay them your going to be arrested, ya, ya heard it all before.
| cleveland 2011-06-06 20:48:16 Unknown |
got a call from the number 408-693-3158 he has said that his name is Jack martin, and today his name is Richard. Richard told me to call him back on his hotline 410-807-4506. He has a foreign accent, and tells me that I am up on all kinds of charges and if i dont call him he wishes me good luck. These are all scams from pay day loan operations. They try to scare you into giving them money. They will claim that they are going to arrest you and bring you up on charges. First it is illegal for them to even say this over the phone. Dont give them any info, even though they have all of yours. Beware they will not stop, they will call your place of employment and tell your boss that you are going to arrested, they will change their numbers and change names. I speak first hand to all of this. I have reported them to every law enforcement agency out there. Please be very careful...

I have received calls from various 'foreign accent' males. Today was Richard advising I had 3 allegations against me. I cut him off stating his phone call was a scam and that I had previously reported him etc and hung up. He called right back, I let it go to voicemail and the voicemail message was in mid sentence but stated that my case decision number was 8062315216 and the only way to save myself was to call back to the hotline number 408-693-3158 by 6pm tomorrow or no one could save me and he wished me good luck.
How do you get rid of these people or who do you report them to?

These guys were featured on 60 Minutes. They got their information by hacking into Internet sites, and they threaten lawsuits against the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. They speak with an Indian accent, and they claim you will face "harsh legal action" unless you send them between $500 and $1,000. They are total idiots because their name does not even make sense: United Investigation Bureau Department.
They use names like Roger Smith and Jack Jones, but their real names are probably something like Mahamanda Yogananda. They can barely speak English.
They use various call back numbers including 347-844-6701 and 718-766-7916.
The best idea so far was what Paybackisabeatch suggested. Turn the tables on them. Call them back, ask for Habib, waste their time so that they cannot make money with scam calls to extort money from honest people who may get frightened or confused.

Well today yet another call, this time from Richard, telling me to call them right away regarding a legal matter, and if I didnt call he wishes me "Good Luck" Also, he told me to call his hotline at 410-807-4506.

ABC News just did a report on this particular scam. Here's the link to the report: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1
| Fa 2008-08-20 13:46:27 Unknown |
A caller who claimed his name is Jack. Called and said he was from some legal company. He asked for me but I said that I was not in.

You're right; it's a scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of overseas scammers who attempt to extort money from Americans with a myriad of false and illegal threats. They alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, White Collar Crime Unit and many more. These crooks often use caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location and to make it appear that they are calling from American area codes.
(By the way, there are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida. (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 )
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) have the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection. (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money. I suggest you do all the following (most of which you can do online):
1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone.
3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone. Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org
5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
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:

States his name is Jack Martin, from United Processing legal Dept. He has a thick indian accent. Said if I did not call him back legal action would be taken and is going to be taken. Of coarse I did not call him back. This is a scam operation. i have already been hit by these people, from number 678-954-6346. They just keep changing numbers.
| cleveland 2008-08-08 16:20:31 Unknown |
No idea who this is, they call many times in the day, dont leave a message. I called them back, and the guy sounded foreign, and would not identify himself. Then he proceeded to be a jerk and call me three times back to back.
