I received a phone call but his name was Michael Williams but was middle eastern or something.  But anyway, they would not give me any information.  I tried to look up information on this company and noting comes up.  The guy was like, can he be my friend and he would even pay this bill for me.  It was crazy.  When I asked for them to send me information in writing, they got really upset with me.  I said I need information to take to my atty and he refused to give me any information and said that if I didn't pay this money that he couldn't explain to he that I owed that they would put a block on my ss# in 3 days.  It was crazy cuz these people had my sisters number, knew my ss# and bank acct #.

i also have been getting caslls from albert johnson.  Should I stop all communication with him?

Hey This is a total scam!!! I called home land security and they know about this CIL company they called my work too

I got the same claim!!!  This guy put me down for a reference, and he is "involved in fraudulent behavior."  As such, my name is "under investigation."  

When I asked what they wanted from me, they wanted me to pass on  a message to this person to call them.  I said, "No, I'm not his messaging service."

They said, "Pass on the information or suffer the consequences."

My reply, "What does this mean, 'suffer the consequences?' "

Then, they hung up.  Pain the rear!  These guys are so full of it!!

I was contacted by these folks with indian accent during the summer - then they let it go, now they started all over again even calling my boss to tell him that I had used his name to start doing illegal things!  How horrible.  State Attorneys office cannot do anything because the numbers are routed through different channels.  These people are in India since they dont even know what courts are in the States!  I get Don Rogers Supervisor and Frank Charlie as the initiator.  I spoke to them nicely until they said all the things abt 3 allegations, I said sorry pal, there is no jail time for debts - I work with a law firm and if you route those docs here I will have the lawyers look at them and then the screaming match started calling me names and telling me I was a thief and would call my job so they knew what kind of person I am - just horrible.  Finally I said look - I am Doctor Bombay's daughter from India, call him and ask hiim for money, lmao - anyway I already reported to AG - but will do so again.  Oh the guy said if I did not answer when he called he would call me 100 times till I did.  OMG

Call said they were Central Investigation Ligation and that I owed them $310.00 and if I did not pay them they would put me in jail and as soon as I get home the police will be there to pick me up.  They keep call over and over.  please some government agency please investigated and shut them down.  Too many people are getting scared because they are very agressive.

I had received calls from a john o'brien   phone number he gave as a call back was 270-605-5143.  I told him NOT to call me or my place of employment and to send me information on the debt to my email address.  He said I will get the information AFTER I pay him 600.   He called my place of employment several times and wont leave me alone.

In the past day I've received 3 messages on my cell phone from a Roger Miller (with a thick foreign/Indian accent) from 508-379-2128.  He left very bullying messages saying it was a legal matter and I was in danger of going to jail for an unpaid cash advance.  I've had cash advances before but all were paid.  I ignored the calls.  

Today I received a call at my WORK number from "Roger Miller" who then transferred me to an "Albert Johnson" who also had a thick accent.  "Albert" told me there were 3 allegations being filed against me:  banking fraud, passing bad checks and international financial fraud.  Sounds impressive, doesn't it?  He gave me a file number and his phone number and proceeded to tell me that I must pay or go to prison and be ruined. He even rattled off my bank account no. and social security no. He was very rude and bullying.  When I asked for written proof of such allegations, he refused saying he couldn't provide it. I asked again. He refused again. (BTW, I work in a law firm.)  I then told him I wasn't the fraud, he was, he became quite angry and started yelling at me that I was being rude and said he was blocking my social security number so I could never get financial assistance or accounts ever again and was going to jail.  He then hung up on me.  I called the number he gave me a few minutes later and "Albert" answered. I told him who I was. He said he didn't want to talk to me because I was rude and told me he hoped I enjoyed jail. I told him I was reporting him and his company to the AG. He hung up.

The scary part is, he had my bank account and my social security number.  I called my bank and am in the process of getting stuff moved and changed and have filed for fraud alerts.

my phone # was1-704-233-7251 but was a john o'brien as well....very rude and unwilling to give any information....just said i had an outstanding debit...couldn't give me the amount or the date of the loan at first...then when he tried it was never the same "supposed" date and amount of loan.....i also got a call from a # 1-707-501-9814 stating a different loan and company..both loans we  never received....the second company said they were from the Federal Government of Crime Intervention using the names stacey wright and ricky williams as their attorney....i have reported both...home land security is calling them ..."india scams" i have been told, and are aggressively investigating them.

I got a call from CIL "Central Investigation Litigation is what an Arabic/Indian Name John O'Brian said. He said a friend a mine need to get in touch with them and my name came up in her file. He said a complaint was filed against me. He wouldn't tell me who the complaintant is. His english was soooo bad and he got annoyed when I couldn't understand him. He spoke over me rudely and asked for my name over and over.

Hi, I have the same person Michael Williams calling me, they literally (I have phone records) called me 27 times in one day . . .  and he was nice at first then got really mad when I asked to have something sent to me in writing.  He also threathen me as to turning me into the authorithies, etc, and they will come arrest me blah blah blah. . . .  well I made the first payment because I was scared, but after researching this, I am very upset that this type of a scam could happen!  Michael said that I had an outstanding cash advance, and I must make payments.  

How did you resolve this matter.  I contacted my attorney today and awaiting a return phone call.

I  have been getting harrassed by these people. They have called my sister, stating that he was collecting a debt and needed me to call him immediately within the next 3 days or else a lawsuit will be filed against me.  He stated my social security number would hav a block put on it.  ????  Why would the federal govt be trying to collect a debt that I supposedly owe?  He couldn't tell me how I owed it.  I wanted documentation and they refused to give it to me.  They got upset when my attorney's office called the number.  Hung up on the secretary.

Thank you soooo much for providing this information.

The claim I owe them money. They seem very convincing with IP address ect. But ANYONE can get that if you log into their site. THEY ARE A SCAM!

Notify Homeland Security who will connect you to your state's attornry general and file a complaint

I received a call on my cell phone from a company claim that some payday loan service filed law siut against me. It was a sevice that I never did business with. They wanted me to give over $700 to settle this matter out of court, or go to court and wind up paying over $3000 and have my social securith number and bank accounts frozen and my reputaion destroyed. They wouldn't tell me the name of the company, in fact they were very vague about any information I asked about. When I wouldn't settle immediately they would send this to court, and that I needed to be in "State Court" (no such thing) at 10:00 tomorrow. All the people I talked to were either East Indian or Arab who spoke very bad English. The caller ID on my cell phone was a 9 digit number which raised a red flag.

If someone calls and says they're collecting a debt, INVESTIGATE THEM FIRST!

Caller ID 052-797-796
Actual Phone # 704-257-6153

called by a Jeff Hardy stating a balance of $786 and it needs to be paid before the papers goes into court

how can this be avoided

I received several calls from this phone number and they are rude and unprofessional. When I ask to speak to someone they say all the attorney's are conveniently in a meeting. They refuse to disclose any information and I never had a Payday loan with a company called Cash Today. How do I get them to stop calling and harrassing me? This has to be a scam but I'm not paying them nothing.

I am getting the same call.. the person's name is Richard Jackson who says he knows everything about me and if I don't call him back, I will suffer the consequences???  Give me a break. Even a legitimate collection agency does not say things like that.  I do not have a past due loan of any kind.

Joshua Davidson continues to call my job even after been told to not call again.

someone needs to call the police on these people!!!

A person named Joshua Davidson called my work from this number. Told me I had defaulted on a payday loan and unless I paid by 1 pm, he would turn over to attorney general. I foolishly paid the first time, after more research THIS IS A SCAM! I took it to local law enforcement and they said it was a scam. I also called the attorney general and they said it was a scam as well, they do not file cases against individuals, they only file against businesses!!!!!!!! They say they are Credit Inquiries and Litigation working for Cash Today. They claim to be a law firm, yet will NOT give you anything in writing. He told me he could give me a "transaction" number that I could verify. WRONG! Both local law enforcement AND the AG said if they will not send it in writing it is NOT VALID. I feel foolish for believing it, but am so afraid of anything legal. If this helps ANYONE I will be grateful.

CALLED AND SAID THAT I NEED TO CALL THEM IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.  SAID IT IS A LEGAL MATTER.  TRIED TO CALL BACK BUT NO ONE ANSWERED.

CLAIMED THEY WERE CREDIT LITIGATION, TRYING TO COLLECT FOR PAY DAY CASH ADVANCE. WE NEVER HAD SUCH LOAN AND THEY ARE VERY CONVINCING THAT YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. THEY ARE VERY VAGUE WITH INFORMATION, THEN CLAIM YOU CAN SETTLE OUT OF COURT WITH THEM FOR 3-4000 DOLLARS! WTF? SCAMMERS!
