I did not answer it.

A man named Mr. Petterson who said he was with Finacial Accountibilty Association, claiming I had recived a 300.00 wire transfer from Instant cash and never repaid it. I had no idea what he was talking about. He then informed me he would be pressing charges on me for 3 charges which I cant remember. He was very rude and basically threatening. I told him I didnt know what he was talking about and he said that I had to send him a new credit card # by fax Atten: James Parker with an attachment authorizing payment of 545.75  or else. I told him I couldnt do that without some sort of proof and I asked How it got to this point without me having any prior knowledge of it. I told him I was going to check my record and call the card company and If there had been a deposit I would happily pay it back. He said it had to be settled immediately I called and there is no record of a 300.00 wire transfer in the month of October. When I called him back to see if he could conect me with this company who had supposedly given me this loan he said it didnt work that way he then reminded me of the charges he was going to file. I asked him to give some sort of proof & I would gladly make a payment. Im not sure what is going on with this but something is not right If anyone could provide some insight or has recieved a call like this. I would appriciate any feedback

I just received a call from them too and they said they were bringing federal charges against me and I asked who they were and what they were talking about. This person, Kevin, was very rude to me and said I had taken a loan which I did not repay from InstantCash or something like that as I could not understand him due to his heavy accent. He said it was from a transaction in November which I know I did not complete. I checked my bank statements and show no $300 deposit transaction and called them back and told them I wanted proof of everything and that I would be speaking with my state Attorney General and a lawyer and the person who answered said ok and hung up on me. I think these guys are crooks.

He said his name was Kevin Peterson.

Yes, I got a call from these people as well. I received calls from a Jessica Smith, Kevin Wilson, and someone else all saying they were representing this James Parker Attorney of Law. They had very heavy accents and were very hard to understand. They were rude and hung up on me several times as well. It sounds like the same situation as well telling they were going to press federal charges from the state of California tonight if I don't provide them with my driver's license and credit card information (to pay the instant cash loan back that I did not receive. They cannot provide with any hard documents or evidence of this supposed loan that was made in my name. I asked them what company they were calling from and what company the supposed loan was through. They were unable to answer any of these questions for me but hung up on me. When I called back they were very rude and I asked what my balance was on this supposed loan that I owed. They were unable to answer this question as well but before hanging up on me, Kevin asked "Do you know what your balance was that you owed?" Real debt collectors should be able to provide consumers with this kind of information!

I received a call from them, stating I have to fax them my c/c notorized and a copy of my drivers license or I will be facing 3 charges in the morning people would be at my office to deal with me if I didn't pay this? They were very rude and I told them this is the first I have heard of this and I couldn't pay them and they said I will have to pay the conserquences then.
What do I do? Is this real or a fraud?

i got a call from this number from a man named mike sprint he said i had gotten a loan and i was facing fraudelent charges three counts to be exact he smarted off and wouldnt even let me know who it was i got the loan from i tried to talk to him he was rude and he hung up the phone on me i called back about four times he just hung the phone up i have never gotten a loan over the internet i dont know whats going on and he also said i used my email to get the loan but i know one thing thry are very rude very rude

Mr. Petterson and John Smith both called stating they were with Finacial Accountibilty Association, with a James Parker Attorney out of Cali, claiming I had recived a 1,000.00 wire transfer from Instant cash and never repaid it. I had no idea what he was talking about. I was then told me he would be pressing charges on me for 3 charges, one was check fraud, one theft and the third I don't remember. They said if I didn't make arragements to pay this plus interest, I would be arrested in the morning at my office. I was on hold and thank god found web sites talking about his - so I asked what he would need to pay this and they said, notorized letter, drivers license, payment info - BUT they said I could only pay in one of three ways - visa, matercard or prepaid Walmart Card - now come on!  I then asked for proof of the loan and he hung up.  I have to say this really got me upset, because they have just info info to make it sound real.

i've also been contacted but from a different number 707-356-5511 from los angelas ca ststes att office from mr.peterson.claiming federal charges and for a loan in amount of 5000.00, they need payment of 1200.00. said they had personal info and called at work..call comes from ELK, CA is registered in mendocino county  no info with name finders...would give no info when loan was taken just that a deposit had been made and refused to fax any info related.

please let this a warning to everyone. I received the same call and was told that i was going to have three charges against me and that police would be visiting my place of employment. I contacted the law and the FTC. Eric Matthews and Joe Martin are their names. They are foreign and when I told them this is illegal they told me I was stupid and my life will change tommorrow if I did not pay my debt. I then recieved a call from a Sanders Law Firm  and his name was Mark Brambel. They should all be arrested. I was told by the FTC always ask for documentation and never pay anything over the phone.

I recieved the exact same call as you did with the same payment opitions, did they ask if you had an attonery? It was very scarey.. Told me that Monday morning the local sheriffs' office was going to come and arrest me, and that they were trying to help me but that there was nothing more they could do and kept saying god bless and good luck. did these men or whatever have thick indian or arab like accents? and would put you on hold for quite a bit of time and when you called they never answered profisonally they answered with a hello?? please respond. the number that called me was 619-399-1692

Yes, I got a call from these people yesterday.  I said I wasn't home.  But, would be happy to take a message.  The man left no name but the number 707-356-5511 and the message was about a pending law suit.  Today,  when I got home there was a message on my answering machine from Kevin Peterson, stating that I or my attorney must call him the very second I hear this message, that it is time sensitive.  I must not disregard this message and not return his call.   If I do all he can do is wish me good luck ........
It will be interesting to see how many more messages he will leave.
As of yet haven't decided if I'll answer the phone when I see the number on caller ID and "play" with him a bit.

On Tuesday, 10/18/2010 I received an emergency call at my job from James Parker 9213-221-2815.  They told me that they were trying my case in a California court on Wednesday 10/19/2010.  They were speaking first as American then all of a sudden the voice turned indian.  They tried to strong arm me into paying theme $300 and $189 for a loan that I had no knowledge of.  They continued to harrass me and threatened to call my employer.  I was very upset and my son took me to our attorney.  These people are scam artist.  They want you to send them money and they will not provide you with any documentation as to what the charges are.  After my attorney spoke to them, we all were convinced that these people are scams.  They wanted me to go to Walmart and put $100 on a prepaid card, and sign a letter, which was not on official stationery stating that I actually signed for a loan that I really did not.  Please do not let them scare you.  I think what is happening is that when you apply for pay day loans online, your information is being sold to them.  They are taking this information and intimidating innocent people.  DO NOT SEND THEM ANYTHING!!!!!

i have been getting calls from trhis number for one week how do i get them to stop?

On The Lookout For Fake Debt Collectors

* Posted 08/19/09. by admin

"The BBB or the Better Business Bureau has issued serious warning to consumers regarding a new scam involving phony debt collectors that possess a significant amount of private information about their victims.

The fraudulent activities appear to be very widespread, cover multiple states. According the information provided by the BBB, the supposed-collectors tell the victim they?ve defaulted on a loan and say they are preparing legal action. The scam artists often claim to be lawyers working for the Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans or the Financial Accountability Association.

As part of the process, the victim is provided with the option to wire money or give out account information in order to make electronic payment before the issue ends up in court. In some instances, the victims may receive a series of abusive telephone calls, all within a few hours.

Information like Social Security numbers, employment info, home address, old bank account numbers have been obtained by the fake debt collectors and lend to their credibility. All of this opens up the victim to additional acts of identity theft.

The Better Business Bureau has already reported the scam to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Trade Commission. Still, many consumers are potentially at risk.

People who do receive such calls are instructed to avoid giving any information that could verify important personal information. The collector should be required to produce written proof of the debt. After the call, you can take some additional steps.

First, you should record a fraud alert on your credit file with all of the major credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax and Transunion. This will prepare you in case they use sensitive info like your Social Security number for fraudulent purposes.

When you issue a fraud alert, you will receive a current copy of your credit report. Be sure that you take the time to read it carefully and look for any item that does not belong to you.

Should there be any new accounts or inquiries where you?ve requested credit, then it is advisable to contact a law enforcement agency or file a police report.

Then you should report the fraud directly to the Better Business Bureau as well as the Federal Trade Commission."
