I got a call from a Brian Parker stating i owe over a thousand dollars for some loan place. , they have my ss# and e mail and address and they claim i have a felony warrent out for my arrest for check fraud. He is saying if i dont send them the money by 11 am i will be going to jail. im scared  . idk what to do .

This person keeps calling me threatening to meet me at court in the morning. My caller ID shows a partial phone number of 1-103-201-0 but then the message says to call Michelle at 4259981964. It is extremely hard to understand these people, and they are different everytime, because they have a major accent. The phone directory says the 4259981964 number is from Bellevue, WA.  I live in Louisville, KY and doubt that anyone will be meeting me at the court house or anywhere else.

I received a phone call at my job  from 1-425-998-1964 from a so called police officer threatening to take legal
action against me for something I know nothing about.

i reciecved a call from a man named Steve Austin, saying i owe a company cash net 612 dollars. and if i did not pay this right away a officer would be dispatched to my house with a arrest warrent. they ahd personnal info such as ssn#, e-mail address, home address, and phone #. do not fall for this they got my mom a few months ago for $900 saying they were going to send U.S. Marshalls to her house.

I have been receiving the same type of calls for the past 2 days, it is a woman with an India accent named Nancy stating my ss#, address, etc & telling me there has been a warrant issued for my arrest & they will be coming to my home to pick me up. Yes, this is a scam.  I just went thru this 2 months ago, the same people but the calls were coming from California & Colorado, this time from Washington. When you tell them you know it is a scam, they become very irrate & start threatening you.  I have been told by the WV Attorney General's office that this has been going on for 3 years now & they still havent caught these people.  It is starting to get out of hand & I hope they catch them soon & put them thru the same aggrevation & terror that they are causing so many innocent people.

These people have left 3 messages at my work today and have called me over 8 times in the last 2 days. It's the same thing everyone is saying. They leave my social security number on every message at my work. I called them and told them I knew it was a scam and to stop calling, then they started yelling at me and hung up. Wow! I hope this ends because it's extremely stressful and scary.

I received a call at my job from these people today. One of my co-workers answered the line and a man tld her  his name was Bryan Parker calling from a law office and there is a case against me and left 425-998-1964 as a call back number. They have also called my cellphone twice  today from 110-320-10 and  a private number. I listened to the voicemail left and this time is was from Tam Lee saying for me or my Attorney to call him @ 940-580-4314. You can hear the same loud call center noise in the backround (my co-worker heard this as well). This is a scam bc I have never borrowed any money from a cash advance place. Its just scary bc they have all of my info and they are calling my job

F*** u B***

The guy called my cell phone 2X a week ago, claiming his name is Gabriel Xavier and that he was from some International Enforcement Agency, that I or my attorney had to call this number 425-998-1964 or be faced with fraud charges!  He then proceeded to threaten to come to my house, recited my ss#, address, etc.  I contacted my local sheriff and reported it.  I then get two more calls today, one at work the other at my home number.  Same guy, threatening that something bad will happen to my ss# unless I call the number, etc etc.  I sure hope this stops soon..pretty creepy.

do not worry it is a big time scam.  I have taunted them for a while and they shut ther phone off and are using the phone number you stated.  i am working with some people to shut them down.

I got the call at the job also.  Mr. Steve Austin left several messages.  I saved one.  I tried the number a couple of days ago and it now give you a laser voice mail account.

I noted the noise in background and heavy accent, also.

this person calls saying they are a debt collector for a loan purchased on line. Due to lack of payment a warrent for you arrest on internet fraud charges are pending. Of course this is a scam and all they want is money. Somehow they have gotten personal information about you to make it seems like they know you. Again a scam. What they want is you to send money to make it go away. We filed a report with our local fraud department at the police station.  Be carelful they will call again months later at your work and harrass you on the job.

Thanks for the advice,NJK! I will do just that! Apparently, these folks don't care if they contact the wrong #.

If you don't want to be disturbed by these calls on your cell phone, simply store the number in your phone's address and set the ringer selection to "No Ring".  It won't stop the calls but at least you won't hear it ring and there's no chance you will answer by mistake.

They will eventually get sick of calling and not getting an answer.  Then they will start calling from another number.  Just do the same thing again and again until they give up.  Eventually, they give up if they've never received an answer.  Once they spoken to someone at your number, you're sunk.

I also have gone through all of this myself.  It's like you were listening to my calls! The wording is all the same. They must have a script. I have had someone else call them and they always hang up when they say they are a lawyer. And Kathy, you either got paid alot of money to say that or as I really suspect, you work with them. Your probably Nancy, the witch that calls me every day. I will be turning this all over to the Ohio Attorney General.

These guys are getting on my damn nerves.  I keep telling them to go ahead and send the cops because you guys are full of sh*t.   They are constantly calling and harassing me at work and cell phone. I don't know how they received my personal information or bank account.  I have yelled back and forth with them and even threaten to have the cops to call them.  They hang up and call back but when I ask for a call back number, noone answers the phone when I call that number back.

My advise would be to close you account and reopen it so that they don't have your banking information any longer.

Yup, definately a scam.  When I called a Shawn answered.  I asked for Terrance Flores and he said he wasn't in.  When I told him I was calling in return to his message he said "Oh, let me put you through to Terrance".  Then Terrance got on the line and proceeded to read me an affidavit of legal charges on behalf of a Cash Net or something including some type of internet fraud and money laundering charges because I had transferred funds illegally via my e-mail address (which he spelled out to me) into my Bank of America account (which I have, but I don't know if they have my account number or not).  When I told him that I could not understand him as he read this affidavit (he had a very thick middle-eastern accent and there was a lot of background noise like from some 8th party half-assed collection company that is just on this side of legal, except this place obviously isn't legal) and asked if he could just fax it over to me he said he was unable to fax it, that he was only allowed to read it to me over the phone.  I had him continue to read it, but I could only take so much because I was having such a hard time understanding him and I got tired of having him repeat himself and listening to him get upset each time.  I told him whatever, I already know this is a scam, so you just file or send whatever you need to and hung up.  I have not gotten another call but will be waiting for one in the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime I am informing BofA's Fraud department and check around to who else I can report this to.  Whatever info I find out I will post again.

P.S. - The Cash Net he mentioned only sounds familiar because within the last 6 months I applied online to several bad-credit-car-down-payment-loan-now ads & they all had that type of "Cash Net" name.  It may have come from one of them being a fishing type of ad, or possibly put in a back-door type of virus to read info on my computer.  If any of this sounds familiar to anyone I would definately change bank account info and have your computer checked for viruses (fortunately I have a whole new computer and I am not using my BofA account, but they still have too much of my info for my comfort).  

And to reply to the message from "kathy"...you're definately full of s***!  That Shawn is a worthless piece of crap and anyone and everyone at that "Law Office" is going to get bit in the a** by Karma!  If he was so helpful why don't you let the rest of us know the address or any other info on this place.

Kathy, or whatever your alias is!!! I think you're one of them and you're full of s***.

They have done nothing but harass me all day. I can't believe this is happening. How can these people call us, ruin our day, harass us at work and think they are getting away with it? They think we will beileve that something from back in 2008 that hasn't shown up on our credit report, or been sent to us, is just now an issue that must be paid or we will be arrested. $550.00 of a loan I never took out. Would anyone be arrested over 550 dollars?

They actually had me going for a minute, then when I asked for an address, a phone number and their name, they kept telling me they wouldn't give it to me because they already sent me warnings over email. They wanted me to send over 1000 bucks right away or they'd be at my door. I couldn't even understand the first or second a** nut who called. When I told the 1st man with a thick accent that I gave his number to my lawer, he hung up, then someone else named Gabriel Xavier called.

KATHY!!! What a bunch of a***oles and either they knew you weren't falling for their scam, or you are one of them. Whatever Kathy. These people are ruining peoples lives right now and you think are trying to get people to say awww how sweet, they must be there to help us. F*** OFF

Why the Caps

Do not worry.  This Guy is a total Scammer.  I put him on the spot and he started cussing me out.  The one thing you have to know is that he has all of your personal info such as SS# and Bank account number,

i recieved a call from Shawn Richards, he is so Helpfull he did help me to solve the issue, God help him!

i have been recieving calls from number 425-998-1964. last night they called me at 7.30 pm and told me if i didnt pay a payday right then the cops woould be at my home in 1 to 2 hours. they never came. they said they officers investigating internet ftaud and when i had my lawyer call they refused to give her any information and hung up and when she called back they would not answer. they are all pakastanis and i dont think they are even in this country. they are nasty and relentless'investgative internet fraud

I just received a message to call this number (425-998-1964) and to ask for Terrance Flores at Corporate Law Offices.  This made no sense to me as I do not have any reason to have to contact a "Law Office" so I Googled the phone number and came across this, and from reading the previous posts if it's a debt collection call any debt I still owe is being handled through each creditor.  You can't really get more generic than "Corporate Law Offices" for a phoney business name (typically law offices have the lawyer's names anyway) and when I tried to call the number (from my work phone, definately not from my cell) it just rang busy.  This is definately a scam and if I can find out anything from it I will post again.

I RECEIVED A MESSAGE TELLING ME TO CALL THIS NUMBER ALONG WITH SOME LEGAL THREATS. WHEN I CALLED BACK THEY TOLD ME THE POLICE WILL BE AT MY HOUSE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR TO ARREST ME. ASKED WHAT THE NAME OF THEIR COMPANY. MAN WITH ACCENT TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT A COMPANY BUT A LAW FIRM IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA CALLED CRIME AND INVESTIGATION. I THEN ASKED THEM WHAT THE CHARGES ARE FOR BECAUSE I LIVE IN NEW YORK AND I JUST RECENTLY TOOK A TRIP TO LOS ANGELES. THE MAN THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FOR A PAYDAY LOAN. I ADVISED HIM THAT I HAVE ALREADY DISPUTED THIS WITH THE COMPANY AND THAT IT IS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF. I ASKED THE MAN FOR HIS CONTACT INFORMATION ALONG WITH THEN COMPANY ADDRESS. MAN ASKED ME WHY I NEEDED IT. TOLD HIM I WILL BE SENDING IN SOME PAPERWORK TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. MAN THEN PUT ME ON HOLD AND HUNG UP. I CALLED BACK AND SIMPLY ASKED FOR THE COMPANY CONTACT INFORMATION AND THE MAN THAT ANSWERED ASKED ME WHY I NEEDED IT. I TOLD HIM BECAUSE I AM SENDING IN A LETTER OF DISPUTE. ONCE I TOLD HIM THIS HE HUNG UP AS WELL. I TRIED CALLING BACK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER AND THE PHONE LINE IS BUSY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION AND POSSIBLY MY WORK NUMBER. I DONT WANT CALLS AT WORK, ESPECIALLY FOR A BILL THAT I DO NOT OWE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THIS COMPANY.

I'VE BEEN GETING THESE CALLS TOO!! SOME GUY NAMED EDWARD AND THAT I NEED TO SPEAK TO SHAWN. THEY ARE TELLINGM E THAT I OWE A LOAN AND THAT IF I DONT PAY I WILL BE ARRESTED. PLEASE HELL ME!!!

This happened to my daughter. It is a scam and they want you to send some money so they wont go to the autorities and have you arrest for internet fraud. Of course that will never happen since the whole think is a scam. We filed a report with out local fraud department at the police station. I would pay the extra on your l phone to be able to block the number if you have that feature available.

I have received 2 calls from this 11 digit number - 37410000000 telling me to call 425-998-1964.  I finally did after two calls and was told that a court case was pending in my name and that I had to be in court on the following Monday.  I was made to believe that this was extremely serious and that I was in serious trouble.  I strongly believe this is a scam and have contact my attorney to confirm that no such court case is pending.  I do not know how to stop this person from calling and threatening me.  Please help.

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.
