Debt Collector
I got the same phone call last night and again today. From a Jack Smith claiming to be an attorney from a law firm and trying to collect a debt from a Quick cash. net. When I asked for the name of the law firm he said it is National Client Monitoring Division. When I kept asking about what proof he has of this claim he got upset and asked if I wanted talk to his attorney and I said ok. The next person that came on the phone said he is David Parker these two people both had a very heavy accent, but he gave me my brother-in-laws name and the man that I work with as hard proof of this loan. He wanted money now and did not allow enough time for me to check and get proof that this money was not deposited into my account. I did check this number out and the area code is from Los Angeles CA. I told him I will check it out first.

I got the same phone call today from Jack Smith. He called my cell phone and my place of employment. When I returned the call he proceeded to mention several references I may have used at some point for payday loans or whatnot. Then continued on to tell me that two uniformed officers would be coming to my place of work to take me AND my employer in. (um yeah, sure!) When I started questioning the validity of their claims he literally told me "F*** OFF!" and hung up on me.

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are ?spoofed? numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer?s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer?s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer?s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as ?We?re filing an affidavit against you? or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General?s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee?s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an ?officer?.

?I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ?If that?s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming?,? stated the employee.

?It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,? Attorney General Six said. ?If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.?

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer?s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.

To register a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General?s Consumer Protection Division, call 1(800) 432-2310 or visit www.ksag.org.

This person called anf left a message she left threats and said her name was Nancy Jones and this was my last warning to call her back.  If not she would see me in court and all she could say was good luck. .  She talked with a heavy accent.  When I called the number back a man answered and told me to hold on.  No one got on the line and it discconnected.  I called back and he told me to wait.  When the person came  back on the line claiming to be Nancy, she did not have the accent.  When I told her to explain the call she hung up.  About fifteen minutes later she called back claiming to be Nancy again with the accent.  She again said that her name was Nancy Jones and that she was from an Attorney's Office.  She asked if I has received anything on this case yet.  I told her no.  I then told I was turning the number in to the police and that I thought this was a phony call. She stated " "That is fine I will see you in court, and then she named people that are in my circle such as my boyfriend and daughter saying she would see them too".  Then she hung up.
