562-398-3073 is a SCAM.  People in India using American proxy phone numbers on your caller I.D.   DO NOT give them any information.  It is a scam !

These people have called me even at work. I took this infor to the local police they contacted the company and said it was a legit debt from payday loan, never taken one out. The officer in charged asked them to mail me the information, they hung up on him!

These people with the Indian accent are phony when you request for a loan over the internet they have a dummy company out there and they get your information from the loan your applying for be very careful when they call they say your going to be sorry for not paying them back they are trying to scam you send them back to hell where they belong.   They claim they are from Legal Affidavit  (lol)

I just got a call from the same guy with the indian accent who threathened me with some personal info that was supposed be mine and said that I was being sued by someone for a bad check.  I do know who this person was and he didn't provide any concrete info of who this debtor was...I am going to report this incident.

I got a call from some indian guy saying that I owed a payday loan and that they were going to sue me if I didn't pay it, I basically told them to show me where and when I got the money and all he said was that I had to get an attorney.  He then put me on the phone with a supervisor which was the same guy using a slightly different accent who basically told me the same thing.  When I told them that I never got a dime from them they said and I quote then how did they get my info.  

I told them that I would get a printout of every bank statement for the last 3 years from my bank and I defy them to show me where I got that money from them!!!!!  They just hung up.

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):
1.    The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2.    Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.
3.    File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4.    File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.wvago.gov
5.    File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden ? Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
?    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
?    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
?    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
?    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

Today I received a call from this number, they tried calling my cell phone several times and finally left a voice message stating that I had an unpaid loan and that I had committed fraud, the lady by the name Debbie Garner also stated that they were coming after me either at work or at my resindence if I didn't respond to them. I called them back and spoke to some guy with a heavy Middle eastern accent who proceed to tell me the same thing. They have my social security, work place info, bank account info, everything!!! they read it to me however I did not agree to say that it was my info, after talking to guy and asking him to give me specific dates he transferred me to a "supervisor" I aske the same guy for all the information as to dates of the loan and address of their company and he just stated that he did not had the dates in front of him and that according to he us banking law he couldnt provide me with that info. I explained to him that I was going to contact my attorney since as far as I knew he needed to provide me with a lot more and I had never had a pay loan or whatever they are call.  He then basically cut me off and said ok have your attorney call me and hang up. I contacted the Federal Trade Commission and reported them. IT IS A BIG SCAM!!!!!! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO AND IF THEY GIVE IT TO YOU DENIED DENIED DENIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some guy with an indian accent just a left me a message telling me that I or my lawyer needed to call him. that he work in the Collection for ADS??? and that there is a Lawsuit  He even said that if I didn't call him back I was going to be sorry. Go to Jail, & that he Prays for me and what is about to happen to me. He simply said his name was Gribber Marty from the legal affidavit department. Is this a Scam??? or Real

Some guy with an indian accent just a left me a message telling me that I or my lawyer needed to call him.  He even said that if I didn't call him back I was going to be sorry.  He didn't even tell me what company he was calling from.  He simply said his name was Alan Young from the legal affidavit department. I am definitely disturbed with this.  I am definitely reporting them.

I'm sorry they also said that thhey were from Payday loans who ever these people are.

Some india person called my number asking information that I know nothing about and told me I was going to be sued for it.  They called my home more than once they called like three times in one day. They threaten me and I didn't appreciate it at all. Soomething needs to be done about this matter.
