it is a scam I just today 03/01/10 am dealing with this violation trying to get money from me.  Other numbers to look for are 310-388-8131, 714-006-6000, and 562-684-2014.  I talked to a guy named shawn conner he had all my information and woujld not give my any. Just scaring me that I own money.

JUST had the same call, from a number of 714-006-6000 and left me the same mesasage and to call them at 562-684-2015. NEVER had a loan with the company they claim to rep. ALSO they said that they are trying to collect on a debt from a loan, LOL and that the company had filed for bankrupt. ????

I know it is a fake cause I called them back *67 (blocks your number from showing on the called in), same guy at the 562 number, and he knew it was me calling, i was acting like someone else.... said his name is James Peterson (american name right)? the damn guy can hardly speak english good enough to understand what he is saying.

I went to Cash Net Usa,( the people he said filed bankrupt, and that I owed money to) website, and i did have a login (they still there) but I never took out a loan with them, I signed up, but never took the loan.

They get your info if you even attempted to take out a loan.

i got a call from 562-684-2014 claiming that i owe them money and that they were going to put me in jail.
i don't recal asking money from any company.  i think it just some bored indian telemarketers who just feel like playing around

Got a call threatened me with legal procedures.  Tried to call back but the mailbox is full.

No answer

Just had this done to me today. And when I finally told him I knew he was a scam he told me he wanted to have sex with me and that the FBI won't do anything because they are in on it too.  He said that they make money off of him so I can call I want but they won't do anything.  Anyway,  they are good at what they do, do they think.  If it was really what they say it was then they woujld be more professional and tell us who the company is that is trying to collect money.  Not to mention the company will try and try to call us first.  So Please do not fall for this. He told me he can make thousands of dollars a day so the only loser is me.  Obviously he is going to keep doing it.

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.html   latest release of information on this scam

http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
Attorney General Darrell McGraw took the extraordinary step today of warning the public about a band of scam artists making threats to consumers who allegedly obtained Internet payday loans in West Virginia and across the nation. The consumers they threaten never obtained a loan at all or paid it off years ago.

Internet payday loans are short-term loans or cash advances, usually for 14 days, made over the Internet via interactive web sites and secured by an agreement authorizing debits of the loan and all fees owed from the consumer?s checking account. These loans typically charge interest rates ranging from 600-800 APR and are unlawful in West Virginia.

The scam artists, who speak English with a foreign accent, call themselves ?U.S. National Bank,? ?Federal Investigation Bureau,? ?United Legal Processing? and numerous other phony names. They refuse to disclose real names and addresses and are believed to be operating ?off the grid? from homes, automobiles, or from off shore locations or foreign countries, including India. Since the scammers have kept themselves purposely well hidden, thus far no law enforcement agencies have succeeded in locating or shutting them down.

The scammers typically pose as law enforcement officers, investigators, lawyers, and bankers and threaten consumers that they will be arrested for ?bank fraud? or other fictitious crimes unless money is wired immediately. They simultaneously scare and confuse consumers by using meaningless legalese gobbledygook phrases such as, ?We are downloading warrants against you? or ?We are filing an affidavit against you.? Consumers who don?t immediately fall for the scam are warned, ?Only God can help you now.?

The scammers almost always call consumers at work several times a day, and tell their supervisors, ?Your employee has committed fraud and is about to be arrested.? Such threats have proven unsettling even to the most savvy consumers and employers who suspect the calls are fraudulent.

Attorney General McGraw stated, ?Ordinarily my office protects consumers from fraudulent activities by seeking injunctions in court. But legal action cannot be taken until the scam artists can be located. Even then, it is unlikely that the persons behind the fraudulent calls and extortionist threats would obey a court order. In this case, the consumer?s best defense is to be armed with the knowledge of the scam so that all demands for money can be resisted, despite the false but scarey threats of arrest.?

McGraw added, ?Because the fraudsters make a special point of calling consumers repeatedly at work, employers must understand that the consumers are innocent victims of a criminal enterprise and cannot stop the calls from coming. I also wish to assure the citizens of West Virginia that my office will continue to do everything possible to locate and shut down the outlaw debt collectors.?

More information about this fraudulent debt collection scheme is available at the Attorney General?s website, www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam. Any consumers who have been threatened by these persons or wish to file a complaint about another consumer matter may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 1-800-368-8808, or by obtaining a complaint form from the Attorney General?s web site.

It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.
A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.
This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.
Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )
Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.
This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

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.

I received a call from 542-222-4311 on 2/26 from Jason O Conners, stating I had defaulted on  a loan with InstaCash and I was going to be arrested for several charges including wire fraud and money laundering etc.  That I called them back in time to make arrangements for my balance.  I was absolutely terrified and since I had taken out payday loan before I assumed this was legit.  Well to make a long story short it wasnt.  I researched this and found that this has happened to many people over the last week.  I did buy a prepaid visa and give them the number but I never activated the card.  When i confronted them this morning tell them that I never borrowed money from them, I was going to call the FBI, FTC and a family friend was a Federal Court Judge, and I wasnt paying them.  He said have a nice day and hung up.  I am a good person and these as*hol*s prey on people is wrong.  This person jason o conners had a heavy indian accent.

I just got a call from a man named mark wilson claiming that i had taken out a loan and did not pay it back! I have never taken out a loan with any type of payday loan and especially from the internet. I am just wondering if this person calling that you all are talking about? The number that they called me from was 562-684-2015. When i called it back and did not give my name, I asked them were they were located and what there address was. They told me they were located in California and that they would only give me there address if i gave them my name and number. Once I told them that I would not be giving them my name or number the man asked me not to call them anymore. If someone could answer me back and tell me anything I would really like to know what is going on!

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.

I received a call from 714 006 6000 saying that I was being charged with fedeal crimes because of a payday loan that I had not paid back - he said that I had been emailed several times and he would read me the affidavit in case I had not received it.  He said that charges would be filed on Friday - the number he gave me to call when I asked for a phone number was 562 684 2014 Jefferson Davenport something or other.  This happened to me several months ago, i went to the police dept and they said it is a scam and not to give them any information.  I do not want them calling me at work - this is a scam but it is very scary

I'm getting the address right now, if any of you are interested. Will post in a few.

I received 3 phones calls within 15 minutes on my cell phone.  When I listened to the voice mails they were from an Indonesian dialect that I could not understand.  I managed to make out the phone number of 562-684-2014.  When I called the number, they apparently didn't have any record of my phone number.  I simply told them I wanted the calls to stop.  Then I was asked for my name.  I refused to give my name and was hung up on.  I am not falling victim to these scams.

i received a phone call at work stating this was a very urgent call that "Shawn" wished to speak with my attroney. i asked for a number to call back when i left work. he gave me 1-562-684-2014. i called and he repeated said "oh my gaw" (he disguised his voice) i cant believe you dont know anything about this... instacash.usa has sent you 8 emails regarding this matter. i was being sued with federal charges. i repeatedly told him i had never received any cash from this company. i ask him if he knew the number to the company so i could call and discuss the matter. he said Ms.**** i dont think the company cares what you have to say they have already to tried to contact and you failed to respond. after being yelled at and told i was going to be taken from work, and lose everything i owned that " i wish you good luck and God bless you" and hung the phone up. i returned the phone call the next day without saying my name and ask for details about the company Jefferson davenport A**. in  LA I spoke with a man named Shawn Conner and Frank Jefferson who was supposed to be superior to everyon... blah blah. then he said he recognized my voice and told me that it was going to be solved in court. so my mother Googled this name... and she showed me it was a scamm... and then i went to my local police dept. they called the number and the people ended up hangin up on the detective. this man told me to fax the payment to him at 760-283-2301 and authorize the transaction. by havin it notorized.... of course i didnt and the man proceeded to return a phone call later in the evening and i said i knew it was a scam and they got mad and started yellling again i just hung the phone up.

I received a call on my cell phone from 714-006-6000; from Danny and telling me to call 724-893-1040.  I called the number with is Legal Dept of Insta-Cash USA.  At approx the same time, I received a call at work from Frank Johnson, (which I found out later was the same company Danny was calling from); stating that I was being sued from Insta-Cash USA for a payday loan that i never repaid.  However, he could not, would not provide any information as the the date and amount of money i received.  I told him i did not take any money from that company, and that I had repaid the payday loans that I did receive.  He kept threatening to take me to court, and ruin my credit, and garnish my wages; unless I was to pay $752.00 with my debit card.  I asked him for the number of the cash advance place, to verify the info, incase i had missed a loan that i took.  He would not give me the name or number of the company.  I told him i thought he was a fraud, and i googled the info to find this page.

1-562-684-2014 some one called twice from this number it was very strange. they tried to sound threating claiming I owed money, and when i called back the person tried to disguise thier vooice. its a scam.

Received a 2nd phone call from Nathan Brooks claiming to be from a law firm and that I owe money.  The phone # on caller id is 714-006-6000, which is linked to payday loan scam that tells you that you have an outstanding payday loan that you did not repay.  When I googled the 714 phone # there were complaints of people receiving 20+ calls, threatened to be be sued and put in jail. The 714 phone # has been reported to the BBB and Cashnet USA fraud dept.
