The man who called said his name was Daniel (He spoke with an Indian accent).  He spewed on and on about a warrant being issued for my arrest due to a bad check.  Of course, I had nor have any idea what he's talking about. I basically ignored his repeated calls because I know that he's a SCAM ARTIST.  I believe that these SCAMMERS called me about 2 years ago with same old BS.  I am planning to file a complaint with the FTC and my State's Attorney General Office.    Soon or later they will be shut down.  Unfortunately, they will just change their name and telephone number and start all over again.

this # keeps showing on my phone & i'm not able to block it..you aren't able to call it back..i want them to stop calling me!!!

I got the same message from Sam. These people actually knew my Name, address, ss# and Dob. Scary! They said I took a loan from them and never paid them and that I now owe $2000 in fees. And if I want to save myself from court costs that I need to take care of it now and settle out of court. I asked for proof in writing and they wouldn't give it to me, said it was unpublished and would be considered defamation of character. I asked to speak to a supervisor - had the same conversation. He ended up hanging up on me because I demanded proof of their documents stating I had defaulted on a loan I never took out. Their phone# is 336-553-0130. When I demanded them to send me something in writing they hung up on me.

ABC News just did an investigative piece on this particular scam operation. Here's the report:  http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1

Update:

A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.

This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. 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* April 7, 2008 when 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 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.

Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )

Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.

This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

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 who are posing as federal law enforcement. Be sure to give as many details as you can.

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:

It's a scam; be sure not to pay them anything else.

There is no US National Bank and, most likely, this is the same group of foreign scammers who use caller ID spoofing software or VoIP to disguise where they're really located.  One 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.) These same scammers also routinely impersonate FBI agents, police and other law enforcement officials, which, obviously, is illegal as well. (Besides, law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.)

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 and give them all the details.

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

You may also want to consult a consumer law professional regarding what, if anything, can be done about the money that these criminals have stolen from you already. There are plenty of attorneys who work on contigency in this particular field, so don't worry about being unable to afford a lawyer. Here are links to such law firms and to consumer advocate organizations which can refer you to such an attorney:

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.)

Hope this helps.

i was called on 4/10/2008 by investigator patricia hill who alleges that committed bank fraud and I owe u.s. national bank for a payday loan from april 2006.  She gave me her direct line. It is 888-688-3848.  She alleges that i must repay 3189 dollars as restitution for two payday loans that total 500 or else i will be arrested.  I have paid her 500 dollars and i am trying to get my money back.

Those recorded calls come in so handy. Good job!

Just got a letter from my AG office and they are researching this fake company. They will contact me for more information. So far they contacted the company and they would not provide any info to the AG office. Good thing I recorded my conversation with the them. Can't wait to see them get shut down. These low life a**

I Have just got this phone call from 410-807-4506 and that phone number saying I have investigators coming I am reporting it to BBB and have filed with police also voice recorded any conversation with them. Scary thing and I am not sure if it is the same for you but they had my SS#. What a bunch of crap.

AW, funny you state that the search came from 904-207-7618 from Jacksonville Florida I believe this is ARM of Florida. They handle payday loans and are truly scam artist. Watch yourself they are all cons.

P.S.  A search indicated that the number they called me from was 904-207-7618 - from Jacksonville, Florida.  They operate under a name called Xspedius Management Serv.

A message was left on my voicemail stating the same blurb about court, etc.  I called the number back.  An answering machine came on.  I left a message that people were on to them, and that we know that they are scam artists. They should realize that there is an internet network out here and that the scams they try and pull off, will not be tolerated.

I was called at work today -- same drill as others -- Payday Loan.  Would not send any documentation proving same.  Threatened to take me to court, etc.  Would not give their address.  A reverse phone number check showed the number to belong to Xspedius Management Services.

I have these ppl are insane. They don't even state who they are. They just say my name ( don't even pronounce it correctly) He goes and says This call is important if you don't call me back immediately God knows what will happen have your attorney be ready to represent me. Umm first who are you and why are you calling me. So I called them back and all I get a a answering machine to leave a msg.......

These crooks are probably calling from overseas and are no different than the email scammers from Nigeria.

In order for their scam to succeed, their intended victim must believe that they are a legitimate operation; if they realize that you know that they're trying to scam you, then there's a chance they'll stop calling you. So if they call again, you may want to tell them that you know they're a criminal operation, that you're not going to send them any money and that you've reported them to law enforcement.

Judging from the reports of other consumers who called their bluff, they'll probably respond with moronic comments like, "Only God can help you now" or "May God have mercy on you" or some such similar crap. Just ignore it and report them again to law enforcement.

Hope this helps.

This a** called again. I answered and just screamed and hung up. This is b***s*** I contacted my lawyer and Sate Attorney General office this has to stop. This is crazy. They need a life.

There are lots of other numbers from which these same crooks call...it's always some foreigner who uses meaningless phrases like "downloading warrants against you", etc.

Just remember:  anytime someone calls you and demands money to prevent you from being arrested, it is ALWAYS a scam.

So don't pay these crooks a penny. Ignore their threats and report their attempts to extort money from you to these federal and state law enforcement agencies:

1) The FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov

2) Your local police

3) Maryland Attorney General  http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/complaint.htm  (Litigation Consulting claims to be in Maryland)

4) Your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

5) Federal Trade Commission  https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

If they call back, tell them that they aren't getting any money from you and that you've reported their scam to federal and state authorities. They will react with the usual moronic, false threats.  If possible, try to save any voice messages they leave and, if legal in your state, record their calls if you speak with them.(Inexpensive phone recorders are available at Radio Shack-type stores.)

Hope this helps.

Yup that's the scum bucket. They continue to change their name and number. Please file a complaint. I did and already received a letter from my State Attorney General office and they have started a investigation. I will keep you posted.

Meme that was great that you did that. These people are con artist. I left them a very nasty message to stop calling me since they refuse to provide an address for me to send a cease and dismiss letter and refuse to send me anything in writing that it's against the law. I have filed a complaint with my state AG and several other office. Hopefully soon they will stop and be shut the hell down.

I recieved several voice mails from Sam Duncan reguarding an urgent matter and if I do not call him back well then I better have my attorney with me. Ok so I called him. Not only was I placed on hold for a while he then hung up on me. So I called back at least three times guess what they picked up the phone no answer then hung up. Then the 4th time I told him he hung up on me and then asked my name. He spoke with an Indian accent and then very low then put me back on hold and hung up on me. So I called again I told him my name which he asked several times for it I told him what this was reguarding he could not answer. He told me he could not take payments where the hell is that coming from. Then I asked for a letter to be sent to me no I can't do that was his answer. I told him it's the law to send me a letter in writting he stated it's the law not to send anything. He can't send me no letter so I asked for his address to send a letter to cease and dismiss total silent nothing was said. I went on to ask again no it's the law that I can't give you the address. Bull. So he told me he will see me in court. He wont even give me the agency name. Please come on what scam is going on here. He got scared when I told him I was going to report him. We will see what happens again.

ROCKY JOHNSON HAS CALLED ME 3 TIMES AT WORK.  EACH TIME I WAS AWAY FROM MY DESK AND HE LEFT MESSAGES.  I'M ALSO GETTING CALLS ON MY CELL THAT ARE SHOWING UP AS UNKNOWN

This is the same number that called me at work. I was told that they were downloading my unformation and I have three accounts against me. It was regarding some pay day loan with US National Bank in 2005. First of all I did not have a pay day loan with US National Bank. Then I proceed to ask them several question. What is the name of your law firm. Give me the information regarding US National Bank so that I can past this on to my Lawyer. Finally they hung up.

These same people called me on my job today and stated that they were downloading my case to my local authorities at 12n today and that I would be arrested for fraud, bad checks, etc, when I tried to ask the lady what this was about she did not understand English, I think she was Indian, I asked her what I owed and she could not tell me, I asked for a phone number and she put her "supervisor" on the phone, Investigator something, he said you will be picked up and arrested, I again asked for a phone number, he gave 410-807-4510, I called back and it goes straight to a voicemail, this is a scam,they also call from 856-831-0640,don't give them any information or money...IT IS A SCAM...obviously I wasn't arrested.They claim it is for some payday loan from 2005?

This is the same number that called me at work and threatened me that they were going to have me jailed for a Payday Loan that I never got.  They said they were going to pick me up in 15 minutes.  Yeah, Like Law Enforcement would actually do that and they are doing illegal collections.  I think it is a scam. They sound very foreign.

My sister keeps getting calls saying that I need to call or my attorney of record 410-807-4510.  Called back left a message, no call back;however, my sister does and the messages are a bit much.  Also states that if I don't call back immediately, heaven knows what would happen.  

Has anyone had a call like this?  First, I can't even understand what the person is saying and last, I know I don't have a debt with anyone.
