This Rick Parker is from Dallas Texas.  He said he is from Crime Prevention.  He told me I had 3 accounts of criminal charges: 1) violation of bank regulation, 2) check fraud and 3) Theft by Deception.  He said they will send someone after me on Monday to arrest me or take me to court.  

He said I took out a loan and the money was deposited to my account on Oct 8, 2009.  I went to a Personal Banker at my bank and she found NO tranactions (deposits) on that date!  

Because "I never paid that loan back" (that I never recieved), I now owe like $1000.  

This "Rick Parker" knows my address, my SS#, my employment address and friends contacts.  

I made a police report and gave them the name and telephone # (469)582-0387

He harasses me at work, home phone, cell phone.
I owe no money that is over due.

some lady here in Indianapolis went to the tv station with these bogus calls last nite. we even got to hear the msg left on her phone. maybe this will shakes them up or close them down. i thought about doing the same thing. let me know what you all think. get rid of these scammers once and for all.

kim, anything else on this number yet?

I just gave this guy who has been leaving me messages the a** chewing of his life. I also filed a harrasement charge against them in the city I am in. I will update if I do not hear from them again. I read a previous post that stated if you let them know that YOU know they're liars and that it is a scam, then they will back down. We will see..

Thank GOD for this site - it really calmed me down when I received a phone call at WORK no less stating that if I didn't give them further information, the "proper authorities would be sent to bring me in" on numerous charges - strangely enough - the same ones listed on here... exactly.

They knew my cell phone, my work phone, my address, place of work, social security number, and at least who I bank with - if not the account number as well.  

DO NOT give them any information even under the threat of being "arrested".

I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General here in NH, and sent in another tip to the FBI as they are claiming to be part of our government, which in itself is highly illegal.

Just got a call at work, a lawfirm , a call from Samuel Lewis and he said the same thing in reference to being arrested and charges were filed against me. My information was stolen and this is a result of it. After getting no info from him as to who was suing me I hung up and looked up the number. I called back and ask to speak with him but Joni would not transfer. I asked her to stay on the line so that I could trace the call...she hung up. I have made everyone aware of the phone call...please get the word out and notify your local authorities.

Just got a phone call from DAVID regarding a payday loan I didn't pay back.  then he saud I owe Walmart--which I mention slightly when I spoke to his employee at first.  He had my ss #, address and bank info. I called the creditor to which I owe money to and they said this is a SCAM and do not give them any additional info.
Foreign Accent.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. I applied for online payday loans and that was a HUGE mistake as you can see.

hey VICTIM it will continue until you blow at them and let they know that you know they are scammers and liars!! i have had several and the newest phone number is 443 333 1201 and its anna walker. such a witch she is.

Thank you all for posting this about this phone number, I have just been victimized by the same foreigners, they used the same exact verbage on me and went through the whole spill. Before I found this site, I filed a local police report, called and placed a security on my banking, notified all the workers in my office of this and have called the Frisco police department and will file a harassment case with them as well. I am really relieved to see others who have posted to this site, please tell me, has anyone had identity theft from them? What really worries me is they had my social security number right. I did not confirm it to them, nor did I give them my attorneys name as requested, I would not confirm anything and it irritated them. When I called the number back I got a David Jones, Ironically the first guys name was Peter Johnson. Both were very heavy tongued foreigners.

they sent me a message saying that i owe them money but couldn't explain what it is for or when i supposely got the money

This started with me this weekend and they just called my work.  I have found similar stories on
complaintboard.com and one blogger said that FBI has received over 1000 complaints.

so this phone number 469 582 0387 is in California? they wont quit calling me. just report it to the folks you have listed above in your msg?

I got this same phone call today ON MY CELL PHONE and the call was for the daughter of a friend of mine.  WTH?

I received my first cal from these "scammers" yesterday June 24, 2010 at 1:35 pm Eastern time.  The number displayed on my caller I.D. was Restricted.  The call back number was (469) 582-0387.  The person who left the message was "Samuel Lewis".  He stated that he was from the "Crime Prevention Unit" and I was in much "legal trouble" and facing "criminal charges" and I need to contact him immediately to resolve this issue.  First thing that did not seem legitimate to me was that he only addressed me by my first name (any "true" bill collector, law enforcement agency, or legal firm would address you professionally by stating BOTH your first and last name.  Furthermore, any legitimate organization is bound by law to state their purpose of the call.  This guy did neither).  Secondly, his deep Middle Eastern accent also raised suspsicion in my mind, when compared to his name... "Samuel Lewis".  Before returning this obvious fraudulent message, I did as much "free" research as I could about this phone number.  I found out that it is an unpublished landline based out of Frisco, TX and the phone provider is Tex-Link Communications.  After doing this, I politely returned the call and Mr. "David Lee" answers.  Another very "American name that does not coincide with the accent.  He asked who I was!! LOL.  I said, you tell me, you called me...  He said if you just give me your name, I can find out why you were contacted.  I said, how about you tell me the name of your company and the location...  He said that he is with the "Crime Prevention Unit".  I said that is not the name of a company, what is your company's name and address.  Again he answered...  Crime Prevention Unit.  I said okay, I just want ot inform you that I know what you are up to and your better quit while you are ahead because I have filed a police report with the Frisco Police.  Right about then, he fumbles his words and says this call is being recorded and you will be arrested for violating federal law.  I said who are you going to arrest?  You can not even tell me who I am!  He said, I hope you enjoy your time downtown... lol.  Then he hung up the phone and they tried calling me back three times this morning!  Again I stated that everytime they call, I will contact the Frisco Police and file a report.  Also I contacted Tex-Link Comm and put through a request for them to block their number from calling mine.  If you have received a similar phone call, I urge you to call both Tex-Link at (210) 892-4100 and give them the number that has been contacting you and tell them that you want it blocked from calling you.  And contact the Frisco Police at (972) 292-6000 and file a report for harrassment.  The more people that file complaints and reports, the quicker that these people will be brought to justice and they will be the ones who have "cases" on them.

Have been receiving these calls to. Last week it was Mark Williams. This week it's Nancy Jones. Don't know how they get all our information but it's a total scam. If you receive these kind of calls, do not give in to their scam. They have collected thousands already from people who had no clue. If you hear from them, you should contact your states attourney's office and file a complaint. Do not respond to their calls.

THIS IS REDICULOUS IT NEEDS TO STOP....HELP!

I received a call this morning from an umknown caller, They had an Indain accsent as well, They said I have three counts of Criminal charges, I said who in the heck is this and he said Caly Johnson, I said okay why are you palying games with me I haven't commited any crime and please dont call me any more then I hung up the phone. They called me backa and left me a message and said I will be picked up at work for this crime because I hung up the phone. I called after I got off work the number they left on my voice mail was 469-582-0387. When I called back they sounded fack so I just hung up the phone. This has to be a SCAM.

I receeived 6-8 call from this number 6/21/10 and 3-4 on my cell phone (now how did they get that?) from a guy named Roger Smith.  He said that he left several messages (which he did), but only got this voicemall instead (my home answering machine).  He then said that I seems like I'm trying to evade his phone calls and that if I don't call him back, or my retained attorney, I will be in a very big legal mess.  Then he has the f***ing nerve to tell me to have a blessed day and God bless!  Yeah, right!  I'd just love to call them back and tell them how much I enjoyed eating their cow last week!!

I received the same and I mean the SAME exact phone call. Stating the SAME exact thing. I recently called and filed a polcie report as well.

This Rick Parker and a David is from Dallas Texas.  He said he is from Crime Prevention.  He told me I had 3 accounts of criminal charges: 1) violation of bank regulation, 2) check fraud and 3) Theft by Deception.  He said they will send someone after me on Monday to arrest me or take me to court.  

He said I took out a loan and the money was deposited to my account on Oct 8, 2009.  I went to a Personal Banker at my bank and she found NO tranactions (deposits) on that date!  

Because "I never paid that loan back" (that I never recieved), They state I now owe $1000.  

This "Rick Parker" and "David" know my address, my SS#, my employment address, employment name and friends contacts.  

I am filing a police report today and gave them the name and telephone # (469)582-0387

I also spoke to a contact at the State of Colorado Colorado Uniform Consumer Credit Code and the lady I spoke too had also googled there phone number and assured me that it is a SCAM. She advised me to hang up and not answer anymore calls. She advised I also make a police report. She has had several complaints from a lot of people with the same issue.

Received numerous phone calls from them wanting to speak to one of my employees, same scam wanting money for a debt he didn't know about or didn't owe. I called them back told them it was a crime to call a government installation, but they have continued to call. They are being reported to Army CID.

left message Urgent: You MUST call back before 5pm today.
then when we called back - the person began to harrass about a debt that we did not owe

if they give you the name of the payday company they say you owe money to-give them a call. they know about these scammers and want the phone numbers they are calling from. the payday company will call them and read them the riot act!!

got a call from nuber 469 582 0387 name is nancy jones. she says its important that i call her back. another scam!!  got calls from numbers 567 244 6051 jack wilson,567 248 2126 no name. some others too and all i did was apply for a refinancing on my car on line. SUCH SCAMMERS!

They called myself, grandmother and job reporting that I was part of a legal issue and needed to contact them immediately at this number. He had a very foreign accent and told me his name was Rick Parker. I am not stupid... your name is not Rick Parker with that accent. When he called my work he released numerous amounts of information to a co-worker! This is not ok!!! I have filed a legal suit against them for harrassment... bet they won't do it again!

i just got off the phone with Nancy Jones and she said the same thing to me again and i read the riot act to her. she was stumbling over her words and that last thing i said to her was you all are in deep trouble cuz all of us have reported you to the FTC and the local police in your area. they will find you.!

i got another call from Nancy Jones last nite and said i better call her back. thought after the last call i got from them-chewing them out and laughing at the same time-told them we all know they are just people who are trying to get money out of us. they are such stupid folks. i also told them they were a scam and before she could say anything else,i hung up. guess i will have to call her again and try to get the msg they are SCAMMERS!!
