I just got call from a 1-213-289-3777 saying that I needed to speak to Kevin Peterson regarding deliquent taxes.  I spoike to Kevin he said that I needed to pay something in good faith. Or I would be arrested and put in jail for  6months with bail . Or liesences be supended. take propety. When I called back he hung up on me twice I asked the operator for physical address. He said that only Kevin could give that. Transferred me but Kevin never picked up.  Any body getting that call from that number ? My husband was getting a call saying that he had reported the wrong information on his taxes and was going to be reported. they called from a415 number. I have been trying to call the treasury department and am on hold so long may have to go to the tax office number.

I Just return to work on Thursday, February 28,2013.  Was out sick from work due to illness.
But upon my return to work there was two voice mails, from a Sarah Woods.  one on Wednesday February 27, 2013 @ 7:27 am., and on Saturday February 23, 2013 @ 9:16 am.  M's Woods stated that I or my attorney need to call her back.  She did not say why.  I do not know who she is or why she is calling me.., But I hope she or any of the people she work with never call me again.

John called for husband 3 weeks from 1-818-925-6536. He called twice, then nothing. Then today he called from 1-415-937-8430, something about a short sell # of husband. My has disabled for past 3 yrs. Until he passed last week. He wanted to know where was. I told him none of bussiness,then I hung up & he's been every couple of hours until 5:30 pm.

I have been receiving calls all day from this number and everytime I answer , the person just hang up on me.  So i decided to call the number back and a person answered by the name John Watson, explaining I am being sued as part of a fraudulent scam with one of those online payday company, however I never accepted any offers and I unscribed name from all emails that were coming from these companies.  The concern I have is the information I gave out when I originally apllied online, will I now be a victim of identity theft.  If anyone have anymore information please let me know.  Thanks

I got the same call,trying to pull the same scam.I have called them more than 50 times today and I think its pissing them off.hahahahaaa

The same idiot called me at 7:30 AM and left me the same message, threatened me, and said if I didn't call him back the only thing he could do was wish me good luck in what was to follow.  But this idiot's name was "Robbie Wilson".  Same almost impossible to understand English,  I'm so tired of it.  I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

My husband has been getting phone calls on his cell and at work from this number; by an Erik Anderson, telling him that if he didn't pay a past due loan amount then an attorney would file charges on him. When the school's secretary told him that my husband was in the middle of class, he told her that a police office would be coming by in 3 hours to arrest my husband. Well, as anyone would do, she and my husband freaked out.

Thankfully, my mother is an attorney and I was able to get to the bottom of all of this. We found the attorney they said were filing charges, and called him. He is a certified attorney in California, but is not related to these scams in any way! His office was very nice, very professional! He has a pending case with the FBI and the FTC about it. What he was able to tell us is that it is steming from an over seas crime gang.

I suggest telling them that you've contacted an attorney, regardless of if you have or haven't, and that they are under investigation with the FBI, BBB, and FTC. I also suggest contacting your bank, your place of employment, and all three credit agencies; telling them what is going on. That way, if something does happen, then yo have it on file that you've made them aware of this.

Just as a piece of mind- the US stopped sentencing people to jail for debts back in the 1930's. They may make your life hell, but the fact remains that they cannot arrest you for it.

Hope this helps!

These people have called me six times today. Someone named John Williams told me to give him attorney's name and all information. When I asked him what this was all about he gave me the same number he was calling from and ask to speak to Kevin Peterson. Called the number back several times, sometimes it rang and had me on hold for up to 3 min or I would get a beep then air. He claimed he was calling from S.F District Attorney's office. I called san francisco and they have no people by those names and no phone numbers that matched the numbers I gave them. Get any name that you can and call the police and file a report you may already be a victim of identity theft. So check your SS# and have them flagged and make the report so you have proof of possible identity theft,

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AJOHN ANDERSON SAYING I RECEIVED A LOAN FROM CASH ADVANCE
I NEED TO KNOW WHEN. HE SAID FOR ME TO CALL KEVIN PETERSON AT 415-937-8430 I DID THEY WON'T ANSWER WHAT CAN I DO I DID NOT GET A LOAN FROM CASH ADVANCE

I recieve d the same call frome the same # and found your post when I looked up the # online under scams! So you are not alone.

I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THIS NUMBER, THEY ARE CALLING ME AT MY WORK! THE LADY IS STATING THAT SHE IS FROM THE STATE ATTORNEYS OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA. SHE SAID SOMEONE IS ON THEIR WAY TO MY OFFICE TO ARREST ME. I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK AND ITS A BEEP! SCAM SCAM! THIS NEEDS TO STOP! THIS IS A FORM OF HARASSMENT!

Jennifer

They cursed at me too. luckily I only have a cell phone so I have blocked their number so that it will go straight to voicemail. However I have turned the tables on them. I have called them so many times today that either they hang up the phone or they answer and say some derogetory then hang up. I told them since they want to harrass me I'm going to harrass them. :-). They just don't know how crazy I can be. I saw on the news a few months ago where some people believed they were really gonna call the cops on them so they sent them money. Ha Ha not me!!!

Jennifer,

This guy is calling and doing pretty much the same thing.  He went as far as to harass me and threaten to come bust my door down.  That made it a criminal matter in my book.  Police have been notified, and I suggest that you call your PD before this jerk starts threatening you as well.

BTW, he has been calling for weeks now.  Sometimes at 3am, which just sucks.

I got a call on my cell and work phone from 415-937-8430 from a John Watson that also said either I or my attorney need to contact them. When I called back and asked to speak with him the person that answered said that John is the paralegal and he was the attorney so I let him know that if they were both from a law office then they knew that its illegal to call someones job. He then cursed at me said F*** you then B***** and then hung up the phone. I called back and the person kept hanging up the phone. After about 5 back to back calls they answered with some more swear words and I let him know that I'm recording this call he continued to curse and said there was nothing I could do.
I have know idea who these people are or what they are calling about.

Received phone call from this number.  Very hard to understand, said he was from Office of Legal Authority.  Message was I needed to call back before end of business day today.  Or there would be legal action taken against me.   SCAM, SCAM, SCAM   Have reported number to FTC.

Get this call today telling me that they are going to file legal matters against me ??? Huh?? what legal matters... this is a scam!!!

I do not believe them and they can do all they want I know i have done no wrong!

*PLUS I CALLED BACK IT RINGS AND THEN YOU GET A BEEP!! TOTAL SCAM...

i just received a call from this number at my job. They stated that chagres have been filed against me and to call the same number back and askfor Kevin Peterson. They said they was from the Attorny's office in California

I received a call from this number today at my work number 678381-0565.  They gave me no specific information, just stated that a lawyer by the name of Mr. Peterson was going to file a lawsuit against me.  I asked for specific informaiton,but was given none.  I don't know what this is regarding.  I advised them that I could NOT receive personal calls at work.

I get the same call about every 4 months but they seem always to call when I am not a round and they leave a message.  However, there is a 2nd group that calls and states they are right outside my door and I will be arrested immediately, needless to say collection personnel can be rude, and they do attempt to scare you but they aren't stupid, just tape the call and report to local authorities.

I have been getting a call from 415-937-8430 for a couple weeks now.  A few weeks back I was looking into debt consolidation loans.  I NEVER ended up getting one because the rates were so outrageous.  I had a message at work over the weekend, a phone call on my cell this morning, and then another call at work this morning.  Per the person on the other end of the phone, she said she was from the district attorney's office and I needed to take down an attorney's name and number. Then she asked if I have a lawyer.  I asked her why I needed one and she said there were 3 outstanding judgments against me.  I told her I had no outstanding loans (just CC stuff).  After I told her that I told her to either take me off her phone list or go to hell.  Hopefully I won't keep getting called...if I do, I will gladly talk to the police myself and file a formal harassment complaint.  These people have absolutely NO RIGHT to call work/cell/etc and harass and threaten people.  One thing I think is really funny is the fact that you can barely understand these people, but they are supposedly from a district attorney's office..yeah right!

The number called me twice today. I called it back and the man claimed he was calling from the district attorney's office. I called him a liar and told him he better not call my number again. He called me an a***ole lol and i hung up. They have the wrong chick!

just got another call from this number who said that i was being sued for check fraud for not paying back a payday loan. i had just gotten the payday loan on the first day they called me and i didn't understand what i was being sued for. i have already had the first amounts deducted from my bank for my legitimate loans and i told the guy that i know this is a scam and to cease and desist calling me and that if this was a legitimate case to send papers to my address on file. i then told him to never call my number again and that i was going to contact the ftc on him.

GOT CALL FROM THESE PEOPLE AT 5.0 0 CLAIMING THEY WERE LAW OFFICE ANF I HUNG UP BECAUSE I HAVE A TWO BABY AND IT EOKE ME AND MY BABY UP. MY HUSBAND SAYS WHO DOES THAT

Update:  Still getting the calls, but I contacted the CA State Attorney's Office to report it.

I suggest anyone who gets a similar call do the same--as the 415 area code is San Fran, they are the ones being misrepresented, and the ones best in a position to do something about it.

John Anderson telling me that I or my attorney needs to call him about a legal matter and if I don't then good luck.

I've been getting the same calls.  Idiot doesn't seem to realize that 415 is a CA area code, and I don't live in CA, never lived in CA, never even visited it. So . . . there was no way he could be from my state's attorney office.  When I informed him I would be calling my local police department to report it, then I would be reporting it to the federal government as well--where he and his company would both be liable for $1000 per harassing/threatening call, he told me the police would be at my house tomorrow at 10:30.  I said, fine, send them, I have all your calls and message saved in my phone.  I'll be happy to replay them for the police.  Course, they'll be here before that when I finish speaking with them today.

I rec'd phone call at my place of employment and the man w/broken India accent stating I need to call Kevin Peterson about a case.  I also rec'd a phone call from this number on my cell every 2 hrs.

I also received a call from John Williams on both my work and my cell today. He got voice mails on both numbers and left messages but I'm sure he will attempt it again.  Don't let these idiots scare you. It is a scam and they are trying to scare people into giving them money.  Even collectors have laws that they have to abide by (my former job many many years ago) and telling someone you are sending the police to arrest them is such BS! it is legally not allowed. The police barely comes when you have a car accident, do you really think they're going to go to someone's house over a "supposed unpaid bill"?  I"m so ready for this jack*** when he calls back.  They tend to target people who have had pay day loans. If you do have any, make sure you contact the company directly.  This happens to me every 6-8 months for the past few years now. It's always a very heavily accented individual (my guess is Indian) with a very normal American name who barely speaks english...

yeah these people have been calling my home and harassing me and my wife saying they are with the state attorney office and that someone has filed a lawsuit against me I know it's not true they just called my home 13 times in the last 5 min. no lie they are driving me nuts. I don't know what to do about it.

This number called 4 times in a row, as soon as I'd clear the call, it would be ringing again. THe first call, they left a vm- basically saying that they're calling from the State Attorney's office and if I have an attorney. I couldn't really understand through his thick accent. He asked me if I listened to my vm, I told him no and he began to say the same thing basically. But I immediately told him to stop calling me, that if I receive another call from them, I'll be reporting this to the police immediately. I know it's a scam, but come on people! This was happening last year to me, all of a sudden, I'm starting to get calls from different numbers about cash advances and loans. Each time, I tell them that I didn't apply for anything and I just tell them I'm filing bankrupsty so that they leave me alone. Why all of a sudden? Plus I even got a call at my direct number at work, how did they get that number? I'm going to be changing my number very soon.
