They are true from the law firm they filed a case against me and it was a nightmare came true i guess i would heard them i would be more happy

Cynthia is a liar and probably one of them. This is a scam and theyre trying to get money from you.  They wont give you any information verbally or in writing.  They will threaten you and think they can get away with it. In reality they cant do any of the things they threaten. All they can do is annoy the s**t out of you and people you know.  They call from prepaid cell phones.  Tell the appropriate authorities.

they are a collection angency- but when they called me they said they were from the NH surpreme court- I don'nt think they would threaten you at the NH surpreme court over the phone in a voice mail

This number called me said I owed money and and could settle out of court but when I said I didn't have the money they told me that I would have to go to court and could go to jail for 2 years. I asked for dates and info and they couldn't give it to me. WHen I call the # they answer Hello instead of with a company name.I am not sure what to do....and they are really hard to understand.

trying to get credit info on me

did my own research and filed some complaints made some calls and final just ignored them...for now they are gone....its wrong they are allowed to bother people like that....glad I googled....

No wonder your criminal activities are so insipid! Your pity-causing attempt was transparent. Sad. But just remember' we are all God's (what-ever deity one acknowledges) children. It is never too late to become honest.

IGNORE THESE CLOWNS ,THEY ARE ONLY PATHETIC SCAMMERS!

IGNORE THEM THEY ARE ONLY SCAMMERS!

Ask them for their company name and address. Tell them produce paperwork and send it to you. If they cannot or refuse to give you anything you ask for, then dont worry about it.

Thank god I decided to google this #....Something didn't seem right .... I got a call from Mike Henny could not understand him at all...I was ready to fork over the minimum payment of 300 so that it wouldn't go to court...They told me I could settle out of court for 895.00 but would have to give them 298.00 in 3 payments...I wasn't sure so I said I would call back...in the mean time they called me at 8:00am in the morning on a sunday and again Monday after I told Mike that I would call him at 4 on monday after work. Then it became 300 is the lowest they would take and if it goes to court it will be 7000....now if that doesn't sound strange I don't know what does....Now after reading all this I don't know what to do...I have a 2 year old and he is my world....

This is just another one of hundreds (and perhaps even thousands) of numbers these overseas payday loan debt collection scammers are calling from:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-904-425-9141:

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.  The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal consumers' money.

Here are a few news reports and government advisories warning consumers about this scam:

ABC News:  http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1
West Virginia Attorney General:  http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
WTAE TV4, Pittsburgh:  http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/call4action/17285785/detail.html
Florida Commissioner of Consumer Services:  http://www.800helpfla.com/newsletter/2008/092008.html

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 gobbylgook 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, Christian Nicholas & Associates, US Federal Bank, Sonic Bank, Hopkins Law Office, CashNet, 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.)

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 (
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.naag.org

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:

...and, many, MANY more.

I received a call from Erica Johnson stating that I owed 300.00 dollars from a payday loan. I asked her what the name of the company was and she told me that it was called cash advance. As I was talking to her I asked her how I got this loan and she stold me that I went on the interent and was giving this loan. I laughed at her thinking that this was a joke. As we were speaking her tone started to change when I told her that I have never had a pay day loan. Thats when she started telling me that I had to go to court in New Hampshire. Granted I live in Maryland. I started laughing again and told her that she was full of it. I hung up on her thats when Logan Harris called me and stated that they had warrant out for my arrest. I again started laughing and asked Mr. Harris for his badge number and what police department he worked for. When I asked all those questions he started yelling at me telling me it was none of my business. I told him to go blank his self and to stop calling my house. I hung the phone up from him and called my local police department. I had a officer come out and hear the messages that I was recieving. One of the messages from Erica Johnson stated that she was worried about my safety. Theres nothing the local police department can do. I called State Police and local police in New Hampshire and had to leave messages with an officer. It has been a week and I have not heard anything from anyone. I'm not sure why no one wants to get involve but I feel that these people are crazy. I called my local phone company and they blocked one number all they did was call from a different number.

I received a phone call today by a woman named April Druke and ended up on the phone with her supposed attorney Logan Harris.
They got very angr with me when I threatened them with the FBI. I file a complaint at IC3.gov.
Who knows maybe someone will be able to do something about all this!

Cynthia is a liar and probably one of them. This is a scam and theyre trying to get money from you.  They wont give you any information verbally or in writing.  They will threaten you and think they can get away with it. In reality they cant do any of the things they threaten. All they can do is annoy the s*** out of you and people you know.  They call from prepaid cell phones.  Tell the appropriate authorities.

As I am sitting here reading these...I just received a phone call today from an Erica Johnson, she said she was from Wherett Law Firm office.
She stated that i owed 350.00 from a Cash Advance Loan ( that I NEVER took out). The only information she'd give me was her name..number and extention.
I went to to police station and tried to file a report but since it was out of state there wasn't much he could do.
While I was at the sheriff's station I received a phone call from a Logan Harris, he was basically yelling at me and harassing me stating that I had to pay the 350.00 or they would sue me.
Logan too would not give a phone number where to be reached all he would say was he was calling from Personal Cash Advance loans and I needed to pay 350.00.
I am going to see my attorney tomorrow.
this is definitely a SCAM!

Hey well my story is much like everyone else. I received a call at work from a lady that stated she was Erica Johnson with Blanch law firm in New Hampshire, she stated they had a lawsuit out on me due to i had take a cash advance that i had not pay this back, the New Hampshire Supreme Court had like 3 different charges that this Erica Johnson stated. Erica give me a case# , tax ID# 26-3479185. Stated i can take care of this payment in amount of $300.00, Erica stated she would need the money today. So like many of you, i new i had taken a cash advance sometime ago, but i had thought i had paid this back. So of course after receiving to call i was like OH MY GOD I HAVE LAWSUIT AGAINST ME, I have never been into trouble, so i did not know what to do. So i give "Blanch Law firm Erica Johnson" my bank card number, Erica stated she would get off the phone with me & run this payment, & would call me back with comf#. I stated no i will stay on the phone & you can give me the comf# while on the phone. Erica stated no this takes 3 hours, she will call me back. After getting home from work, i had checked my account & the money had been taken out. I call Erica back & stated, i need to get my comf.#, she oh yes i have the payment, Erica stated i will need to transfer you to my attorney & he will give you the comf#,talk to "Attorney Logan Harris" gave me the comf#.. I stated when can i be looking to receive the info. in the mail on the this case, Logan stated Erica will email this info to you, i stated she does not have my email address so how can she email this info.. The phone discounted so by this time I'm feeling that somethings not right. I started looking at info on the internet, that's when i run into this info. So i called back talk to Erica, i stated you had told me that you where going to give me the cash advance name & number, Erica stated she can't do that, because she works on behalf of this company & she can't just give me this info. i stated yes i understand this BUT i have just given you $300.00 so you can start talking, Erica stated ok it's called Personal Cash Advance, was would not give me the phone number. Erica keep stated i am on a recorded line & i can't just give you that info. i stated ok like i said i understand BUT i just give you $300.00 & your stating you can't give me the name & number to the cash advance company. She said I'm sorry. I stated well since your on a recorded line you need to make sure this on on the recording, i have pulled your company's info & their lots of reports of this same issue, so you need to know i will be calling my police dept.. Call Ended..

Oooh this site must be working, so you can reach it from your country too huh? Too many people onto your SCAM? You aren't even a collector acting illegally, you're just a fuggen criminal. Nobody is fooled here. Now it's back to the 3rd world boiler room sweat shop with you!

hi guys , i don't know what crap you wrote on this about these people ,but to be honest i felt the same as you all did.and when i found everything about my bank statements and the mistake by my bank and importantly my email address  where i did not notice their summons  i was so so scared i called them up and resolved it right there by paying the amount of $300 which i took and $200 penalty

these people told that i took a payday loan out for 300 dollars back in april. just like the rest of u guys, they had all my information. i dont know how they got all of my information i want to thank all of u guys for posting this message because i sure was about to take A REAL PAYDAY LOAN OUT to pay these native americans!!!!! i stay all the way in alabama...so how could i take a loan out in a whole different stat, such as new hampshire

Two hours after reporting this to the police department, I began receiving several calls back to back to back! It sounds like they are in a warehouse. At one point I herd someone yelling in a native tongue. I pretended to comply in order to get more info from them and I was told that they do not take check payments or money orders. They told me they could not give me the their address or fax me any of their proof. They said I needed to fax a letter saying I was willing to take care of my debit. The amount after interest jump to $627. They said I could pay it in two payments if I needed too. On the fax letter they said I need to include my bank debit/credit card number, all serial numbers, expiration dates etc.. Once this fax is received then they can provide me with there physical address! I took down the fax number and I sent them a nice little fax telling them where to go and how fast to get there. In the mean time I did a search on that fax number. The fax number is a USA number but it is linked to a foreign auth sales business. I could not tell what the location was because the website was not in english.  A short time later I began to receive several calls again and once they even left a message because they had not received my "payment info". At this point I am beyond mad. I became very rude and kept demanding that they fax me their "proof". I was then told that they have recorded conversations between their client, my sis, bro in law and me when the my fam decided to co-sign for me. I asked if she had the recording with her and when she said yes I demanded to hear it. She would not play it and said that all of the proof I needed was sent to me several weeks ago and that I did not respond. If I wanted more proof than it will be provided when the police come to arrest me for fraud!! I had the privlage of speaking with "Eric Johnson who then became Eric-A" I also spoke with Aaron, Eddie and three females named April". I demanded the "client's" phone number, they would not give it to me but they were able to transfer me to the client. The clients reps name was APRIL!!! LOL! She also sounded foreign and could not tell me where "New Hampshire" was. I can't believe the cleints hang out in the same office of the law firm!  The next day (today) I got 3 calls before I finally answered. The call was from "Eddie" he was calling to inform me that I needed to be in court prepaired to defend myself on Monday at 1pm. He gave me a case number and said I need to report to New Hampshire Supreme Court located at 1 Charles Doe Drive Concord New Hampshire 03301. I looked that address up and it seems to be valid. I live in Califonia, if I took out a loan and had to go to court I would have been suboenaed by now. I have given the 6035130817 to every one I know so they can begin to harass these scum bags just as they have harassed me. I can not believe the FBI has not gotten involved

Caller is of foreign descent, hard to understand, stating that a couple of employees with our company had taken out pay day loans and not repaid them. Going to file a law suit for non payment.  He had all of our names, work phone numbers. Said had business with company and personal, tried to direct to corporate office and wouldn't take the number.  None of us had taken out payday loans.

Just received a call from this number - it is like the 10th time in two months. First I got a call from the number stating I had a court appearance at 830am tomorrow morning in NH. Said I was given the details two weeks ago from the attorney. I stated I talked to someone at a collection company and stated I didn't owe a cash advance to anyone in the amount of $700. Today the amount had jumped to $800. When I called the number the "clerk of the court" gave me it was the same number that popped up on my caller ID but with an extension. I was told that the affidavit would be sent to the court. After trying to get the person on the other side to answer my questions and get information as to the address and can I get a copy of the proof they had I was disconnected. After that I have not been able to get back to anyone at that phone number. My wife and I have dealt with this long enough. I am going to the authorities. They claim this is from a check advance taken back in Aug 2007.

A east indian claiming his name is "Aaron Cooper AKA Aaron Johnson" called me numerous times claiming I took a pay day advance for $500. He claimed he was with Blanch Law Firm. He had all of my personal info (SSN, DOB, Account info, address) and claimed to have all kinds of proof of this advance. I told him if he was not a fraud then he would have to prove it by giving me his company tax I.D.# and he would fax me all of his "proof". He kept talking over me and would not provide me with any info except his phone number and extention. When I called the phone number back I did not enter his extention, I pressed 0 and hoped to get a operator so I can get the company address, "Aaron" answered the call. He answered the call no mater what exention I entered. He began to call my sister and brother telling them that I owe all this money and they co-signed for me, he told them if they did not settle this then they would be sued and he gave them my case number. This guy is full of it. I reported this to the police today.

April from Blanch Lawfirm... said i owed for check advance loan from a year ago (05/2008) (which i never got) they were filing lawsuit and i had to pay 550 or they were going to see me in court, gave me case # and all... was being charged for 3 different things... scary part was they had my name, social, dl, and bank acct #.... changing them all effective today, lol

Called telling me that his name was Eric Matthews...first all what indian person do you know named Eric Matthews...but he told me he was the attorney marshall and that I owe 5000.00 dollars to him and they will be sueing for the money....i never have taken a loan out..so that is IMPOSSIBLE. the guy continued to talk over me so I lost it cussed him out and called the cops on another phone and let him hear what the man was saying. I then told the man that I had the cops on the other line and that they heard everything he said...he hung up...call it back and f*** with them. I gave it to all my friends and just call from a blocked number

Said I downloaded illegal info from the web. Had MY name but the phone & internet bill is in husbands name - I work all day & don't know what goes on when I am not home. Don't touch the confuser at home except for maybe 5 hours a week - except for 40 hours at work. How did MY name come up???

trying to get credit details from me
