This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

ABC News released an investigative report on this scam:

Jack Harper from PCS ( prestige consolidation services) called today to say that we were being sued for an online cash advance. We didnt take one out. They told me I had to pay 1100 dollars or go to jail. I told them to come pick me up. This isn't the first time this has happened and it's getting to be ridiculous. This phone number was 1-347-418-0507

Unfortunately, I thought I still owed on a payday loan and fell for this scheme.  My husband and I are out $500, and local PD says there is nothing they can do.  Hopefully no one else gets sucked in by these people.  Also, Green Dot Money Pak told us that their cards are not used for this purpose.  Plus these people put a virus on your computer.  One that does not allow you to access your files, and goes to a FBI cybercrimes pagescreen.  Do not pay $300 to get rid of this screen as this the same company scamming more money.  Plusthese people gave me a 347 area code number, and a Pennsylvannia zip code, saying they are located in Syracuse, NY?

Company says they are calling about a cash advance that I had supposedly gotten in May of 2011.  I have NEVER taken a cash advance. The company they're calling on behalf of is Advance Cash America which doesn't exist.  Only speak with males when they've called or I've called them, all of middle eastern descent.  The guy who keeps leaving me a message with his name as Emmit Johnson.  I called back and spoke with "officer" John McKenzie telling me if I don't pay they are going to put out and arrest warrant for me and I need to get a lawyer.  They don't even have the last 4 digits of my SSN correct.  Supposedly this money was deposited into my bank account and they have the correct name of my bank which is what scared me.  I went back through my bank records just to make sure. When I called the "officer" told me not to call back unless I was going to pay them and he hung up on me.  He didn't even want to tell me how much I "owed" them unless I was going to pay. These people are frauds!  DO NOT PAY THEM!

Initially received a call from a James Morgan from number  847-569-3754 a "law office". This guy calls at least once a week on a former employee, and proceeds to call me a liar then hangs up. Finally I had management speak with him and they got a return number. When I called the return number 631-209-6009 I politely asked to speak with management, and he (the guy that answered) claimed to be management, Matt was his name. I began to tell him that a James Morgan calls incessantly, harassing my company regarding a former employee that did legitimately quit, and then he proceeded to call me a liar, and then said f*ck you, in his stupid accent which sounded ridiculous! They are some third party company contracted out from an unpaid cash advance company I believe. I have heard the name PCS, a law firm, sheriffs department...they pretty much don't care, they hold zero liability and in the end they will just pi** you off ignore all calls, and ps they will call from an unknown number also!

I have been receiving calls from Chris Rene with Prestiage Consolidated Services and he kept calling my job saying I owed a debt for a check I supposedly wrote to a check cashing place but refused to give me who the people was that I owe or when the check was written. I asked him on several occassions not to contact me at my job as I am not suppose to have calls on my job and the man Chris Renee cursed me out and then kept calling my employees and cursed them out also...Well I work at a CHURCH....my wife called and they said the same thing to her that he was going to bring me up on charges unless I paid with a credit card today.

Thank you for this information.  We have been recieving phone calls at our place of business - several calls in a row.  The person is very rude and beligerent - and admitted he is harrassing us.  We called the police, who actually came and answered our phone, but that only stopped him for an hour or so.
i filed a report as you suggested with the Federal Trade Commission, and they also recommended calling our State Attorney General.

This same thing happened to me with a call from an Alan at the Legal Dept of Prestige Consolidation Services saying I had a payday loan for $507 that I needed to settle right away with my bank card or they would sue. They said they represented Cash Advance America. I refused saying I had no payday loan and had never dealt with Cash Advance America and had received no money. He got very demanding and I told him to meet me in court with my lawyer since there was no proof of any of this. I called the FBI but was told the amount was too little for intervention and that no fraud had taken place since I did not give them money. I have filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and informed my employer of this attempted fraud.

I have been receiving numerous calls nonstop on my cell phone and my job. The person claims to be officer jay williams from a New York state investigations office and if I don't return his call immediately he will have the sheriffs department of my hometown come and arrest me. I called the number back stating to them to please stop calling my phone and I don't know who they are looking for. And all I get back from them is a "who the F--- are you" that is their reply. I have reported this numerous times the do not call does not work. They start calling which comes up restricted if I change my number it will cost me. Why should I have to pay to change my number for these harrassing calls?!!!

I have been getting calls from this company even at my job they are calling every 5 minutes with threats. Claiming they are from the pcf officer jay with an accent. He stated I am going to lose my job because I hung up on him and I will be receiving notification at my place of employment. He also told my coworkers that they are working with a "crimino". They can't even pronounce the word criminal correctly. What do I have to do to get these calls to stop the do not call number does not work and I am not going to pay to change my phone number.

I received a call from "Shane Watson" (with an indian accent) today stating that i had to return his call in regards to an important legal matter. I called this idiot back and let him dig his own grave. I asked for his name, the company he worked for and which company he was claiming I owed. He said he was Shane Watson from the legal department of Prestige Consolidation Services and he was calling on behalf of Cash Advance for a loan that I haven't paid (which I never actually had!). He read of my full name, email, address, place of employment and social security #. I have no idea how he got all of my information. I said very clearly to him that I was going to tell him this once and only once - as I stated to them beforehand the first time they called this is inaccurate, and this is a fraudulent call from a fraudulent company and that as soon as I hung up I was filing a formal complaint with the FTC, I was filing a police report with my local precinct and that if they ever called my home again I would sue for fraud, theft of identity and harassment. He started yelling but I couldn't tell you what he said because I promptly hung upp the phone. I am following through with everything I promised I would do. If anyone recieves these calls try giving this speech. Hopefully this helps...

We got the call from 631-209-6009 to saying his name was Justin Williams (officer) and we had to pay for several payday loans that we took out or they would create an arrest warrant for my husband and he would be arrested this Monday May 14th 2012.. They keep calling and leaving messages. We are going to final the complaint with the US trade commission, local police and we have already put our bank on notice. We have not even done any payday loans. When we did speak to "Justin" Friday he said pay the balance right now and we will pull back the paper work from the courts. My husband told him no .. The man got really angry and said he would see us in court and hung up.  He did not verify any info no court # ... Nothing..

The callers name was Keith from Prestige Consolidation Service. 631-315-0202. He said that I owed money on a payday loan from Cash Advance America from last year and could not give me the date.  I said no way I  did not take out one last year.  I asked for the address to Prestige and he said that he could not provide it because they are a legal service. It was an Indian guy.

Just received another call from this group. Came up as unknown name unknown number, but this number was left as the callback number. They belong to an outsourced scammer group, and I've got about 15 messages from them saved on my phone. These people are driving me to the brink of insanity ESPECIALLY because they are calling for 4 different people and the only name out of them I recognize belongs to my mother that I cut ties with over a year ago.
