I received a call on 8/26/2011 from 415-251-8004 (Alex Christopher representing the Consumer Fraud and Business Administration) claiming that legal actions would be taken against because I owed a payday loan and advised me that I needed to get an attorney if I did not have one. The caller advised that once I get an attorney to call 818-863-9751 regarding this issue.  The caller later called me place of employment and asked if I had an attorney I repeatedly asked the caller not to call my job anymore but to no avail he keep taling about my needing to get an attorney. I have asked that they send me something in writing and to this day I still have not received anything, I have report them to the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trades Commission, local law enforcement, etc.

They are scammers also, there is no way that you are in trouble. DO NOT TAKE it seriously. The truth is, you could easily get references just by opening a phone book. They are scammers. I would suggest letting your boss(es) know the situation so that they too can ignore the bogus calls. Also, if you do happen to answer the phone, tell them that you are monitoring and recording the call and that it will be used in your defense and that if they call again, it is harrassment, and you will report them to the police, the BBB and possibly go all the way to the FBI. May God Bless you, and may these liars be brought to justice.

I have been getting calls from foreign people, they sound as if they are middle eastern, and they claim that they are calling me before they put 3 charges against my SSN. They claim they are from investigations. Talk about giving vague info. They called me at 4 in the morning and stated that unless I fax a letter stating that a Jeff Mackenzie could remove nearly $800 using my Debit card and cv code. In a panic, I did as asked, but later that day, after careful consideration, I decided to call back, and ask them for some credentials, and information regarding the matter. They told me that it was confidential and that after they remove the money, then I would recieve proof. At this point, I faxed another letter stating that I am NOT going to be releasing any funds until I recieve these 'confidential' items. Then I went to my bank, changed my card and cut up the card. They have continued to call me, threatening my job and that I would go to court and have to pay 5000 in fees and fines. They have even called my mother in law and told her that since I used her as a reference, she will be in trouble also. I am prepared to turn in all that I have to hopefully get these guys in serious trouble, and once they call me again, it is them that will have the lawsuit against them. I wanted to mention this in the hopes that they don't trick someone else. If your gut feeling is telling you that this sounds fake, listen to it. God Bless. May these scammers get whats coming to them.

I received the same call today. I didn't get the missed call but than I checked my voicemail an he said he was working for the government and their was a lawsuit against me for 3 counts and to call the number back by tomorrow. So initially it didn't click but he mentioned me personal info in the call so I called when the guy came on I told him I didnt wanna hear s*** press charges, and and arrest me because it didn't make any sense. The called me two times right after that like they were retarded or something. Anyways being that they had my info I alerted my banks and placed fraud alerts on all of my credit reports. I think they are done bothering after the rough time I gave them but if they contact me again I will call the cops.

recieved the same call...and he keeps calling and at the end of every message he says "may GOD protect you and your family"  like he's threatening us.  The caller says he's FBI and that there are criminal charges against me...what a joke.  The scariest thing is he says my social security number on the message....not calling him back ..reporting him to FBI and local law enforcement...if anyone else recieves a call from this number, I would do the same

Scammers - extortion racketeers from India (or at least the Indian Subcontinent) - this time, they didn't leave a message on my cellphone, which, now, has a long message about me report each extortion call to the authorities.  Sadly, everyone who calls now gets the same message (can't change my number - I use phone for work, but it may come to that...)  This time, no message left.

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

A person claiming to be Jim Crawford left a voicemail and told me 3 cases have been filed against my social security number.  They also told me I would be arrested if I didn't call.  Typical mud eating pigs.  Don't give them any information.  This is 100% scam and they change the number and names.  This jerk told me he was representing the US government.  He refused to identify who was filing the case unless I verified my personal information and when I refused and asked him for the name of the person or company filing he hung up.
