LESTER

3x called from 'backoffice' referenced US Moneytree ? Claiming I owed a payday loan. continued calling 3x after I hung up. Then left a message at my home landline from 'Lester - call me back. I'm in legal dept. 631-938-2170'  but the caller id: 081-067-5560 Not_Available shows more phone scams.

search results that it's an Arab guy in Port Jefferson, NY SCAM
complaints should be filed with FTC.GOV or call them 877-FTC-HELP

I just got a phone call from Robert Taylor, very thick accent.  He has called me 4 times on cell and 4times at work -TODAY!!! Saying I owe money and my social security card is being held in a law suit! Of course I now it's a scam.  I have called the police. I even asked the guy what country he was from. I also asked where he was calling from, what this was about, etc.. he finally hung up on me.  This guy is a creep and I hope the police catch him.

so now there is a nother number...
I got a call from David Jones saying that myself or my lawyer needed to call him back or else, good luck with what happens after... Ive also gotten calls saying the same thing from Anthony Rosely 631-938-2170 and Charles Brown 626-789-0158

he is shemer

Anthony Roselli 631-938-2170 just called me at work and said I owed money.  I asked him a lot of questions. asked him to send me a copy of the paper work via email or mail he said he did already which isnt true, I never received anything.  I asked him to resend it, he said I need to pay first then he would send me paper work.   I have no issues paying what I owe, but I need proof that I owe it.  He wouldnt do it. Gave me
3 different amounts that I supposedly took out, couldnt give me the name of the company or anything. then finally said I can see the info in court because he submitted my info to a justice, and good luck with getting my life back.   I also got calls from Charles Brown @  6267890158.  Who left nasty message for my boss. Help!

They are at it again!  Just got a call at work from "Anthony Rosel"....heavy indian accent!  Same number #631-938-2170.  He got me on the line and then transferred me to his "supervisor" who said I had a payday loan and did I have legal representation or was I willing to settle NOW?  Nice!  I said they had the wrong person and hung up.  "Anthony" called back and left a message basically threatening me and telling me I got myself in this trouble and if I didn't settle it well then....here was the nice ominous silence....He made sure to wish me good luck at the end of the call.  These people are incredible!  I feel very sorry for anyone who has fallen for this scam.  I've NEVER made a payday loan so there was no doubt it was a scam.

I got 2 voicemails on my cellphone and 2 calls at work form Justin White. I told him that I was @ work and could not take the call and to mail the information to me.  He said that they would mail something after I spoke to his supervisor.  I work and take classes so when he ask when i would be available to speak to him, I said after 830pm. He said that would not work because they arent there at that time.    My boss hears how stressed I was and said that I can go thru HR and have the number blocked.  He called me at 830,1030, 1110, 1115 - normal times for someone to be at work.  What gives?

Just so you know, I filed a complaint with the FTC...and here's the proof!

I just received a phone call at work from this number, but a new name from those on here.  He said his name was Michael Clarke.  He said I had committed fraud and told my office manager that she had better pass along their number or there would be legal action.  Unfortunately for you, Michael Clarke, I'm not an idiot and I know that you are part of a scam.  You want to play...let's go!  I have my lawyer right here ready to pounce on you and your company.  Your gig is up, buddy.  Call me one more time....I DARE YOU!

Well, Lester.. I hope you will enjoy your temporary freedom. Hiding behind fake names and VOIP telphones and drop phones is about to come to an end. You screwed with the wrong person this time and im gonna enjoy prosecuting you. Call me one more time, it will be your last. Just so theres no confusion im John and we spoke before..

I received the same call from a "Brandon Coop" yesterday, saying I was in trouble and will take legal action me through my social security number.  At the end he says "good luck."

Lester///Brandon////Shawn whatever name you are pretending to  be today------what kind of fraud are you?  If you aren't a scam then disclose the complete name of your company, physical address, office phone numbers and fax number.  If you have nothing "illegal" to hide, you would be willing to disclose that here to prove yourself.  

****For anyone who they claim you owe them money, DEMAND they mail you something in writing.  Tell them to CEASE all phone contact.  They can NOT contact you more than 2x a day between the hours of 8am-9pm or it is harassment.  They can NOT disclose information to references or anyone else besides you other than to leave their name & # as a message.  For the person getting calls at work, request  their fax# and send a letter stating to never contact you at work.  If they do, sue them.
Tell them you will only deal directly with the original creditor, you do NOT have to deal with collection agencies just because they bought the debt or are working the collections.
I do think this is a scam but if this is actually a collection agency, this clown is violating numerous laws which he personally & the company can and should be sued for!!!

Got a call from "Brandon" saying he was with Legal Affidavit Office in New York handling a legal matter for US Finance.  He said I was used a reference for someone and they committed fraud with a payday loan.  He starts yelling at me that since I was used as a reference I am responsible for this.  "Brandon" had a very strong accent and didn't speak English very well.  I hung up on him.  He called back screaming that I had no business hanging up on him.  I explained to the idiot that first of all I am not legally responsible for anyone's matters except for my minor children.  Secondly that if he screams at me again that I am responsible I will be sueing HIM.  I asked for their # which he gave me 631-938-2170.  Caller ID was showing   081-067-5560  with name unknown caller.  I asked to speak to someone who speaks clear English.  He told me to hold for Shawn Carter, his supervisor.  He kept saying Shawn's line was busy.  He ends up hanging up on me.  

Even if this is a legit bill collection agency, this "Brandon" violated all laws by disclosing someone else's debt in detail (including amount owed) to me and harassing me because of it when I was only a reference.  This all sounds like a scam to me!!

I was just called from this telephone # 631-938-2170 at my place of employement. The person id himself as Robert Taylor (very foreign accent) and it was a legal matter. He asked that I please hold for his supervisor who happen to be busy. My response was it sounded like a scam and proceeded to disconnect. He called right back and got my supervisior. She took the message & Googled the #. It brought us to this site. Why are these people allowed to harasse people at work. Lester a.k.a. Robert Taylor whoever he is or they are need to be stopped. Some of us are trying to make a real living.

THE EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME. WORD FOR WORD. I KNOW I DON'T OWE ANYBODY MONEY SO THIS IS DEFINATELY A SCAM!!!!

My wife and I both received phone calls from this number (631)938-2170 and it was a man with a heavy middle eastern accent claiming that he was from a collection agency calling on behalf of US Cash Advance
and that I owed money to them. He said his name is "Robert Taylor". Not a very common name for a middle easterner. When I called the number back, the same guy answered but he answered as "Mr. Fox". Another not so common middle eastern name. He also had my address, the last 4 digits of my SS#, and who knows what else. I would guess that he got the information somehow from me filling out an application for a payday loan. I don't really think they can cause any harm with this little bit of information but they are irritating, just not very smart.

The phone company that operates the number these people are calling from is Level 3 Communications in Port Jefferson, NY and they are headquartered in CO. I would like to point out that Level 3 is in no way responsible for these crooks, they are only the telephone service providers
. I called Level 3 and told them that one (most likely more than one) of their phone numbers is being used for scamming people. Level 3 told me that I should call my local police and report it so they could get access to the phone records. They also said that I should send an email to and include all of the details that I have about the phone call and the number it came from. They said that sending an email to this department, they would be able to do something about it internally, much faster than waiting for the authorities to obtain the necessary permission and information to do anything.

If you get a call from these people I suggest that you do what I did if you want them to stop calling you. I simply started giving them 9 kinds of hell. I told them I knew they were scammers and I asked to speak to an American in the office. Anyone who has ever had bill collectors call them know very well that bill collectors DO NOT USE FOREIGN COMPANIES to try to collect debts. They use companies and employees from right here in the U.S. This is because they want the communication to be very clear with absolutely no possibility of any misunderstandings or miscommunications. Legitimate bill collectors want to be crystal clear in their communications with you so you can't claim later on, in court for example, that you did not understand what the agent was saying and they inform you that the call is being recorded and is an attempt to collect a debt and that any information obtained during the conversation will be used to collect the debt. These fools do none of these things.

So here's what I did to get them to leave me alone. First I let them know that I knew they were scammers. When they denied it, I started asking questions like "Can you get me one American that I can understand in the whole office to talk to because I can't understand anything you are saying." Then I asked how common the name "Robert Taylor" was in middle eastern culture. Just ask any question you can think of to throw them off of their game. This guy got really pissed and started yelling at me. I just laughed and told him he was a crook and never to call my or my wife's phone number
ever again. So he yelled some more then hung up on me. I then proceeded to call him back immediately. He knew it was me because he called me by name as soon as he answered. I told him that I was going to spend the entire day calling him and keeping his line busy so he couldn't bother anyone else. After 5 or 6 calls to him I started getting loud obnoxious music when he picked up. That was OK because his phone was still not able to be used to call anyone else while I was on it.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THESE CROOKS!!! DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THEM AND DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MORE INFORMATION THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE AND CERTAINLY DO NOT AGREE TO GIVE THEM ANY MONEY!!! They are thieves and they prey on the uninformed people of this country who have most likely had financial trouble in the past or are currently in a financial bind. Don't get pushed around by these clowns. They are idiots!!! Just send an email detailing the experience to abuse@level3.com and the number will be disconnected eventually. I did some research and found out that they have already had phone numbers shut off for doing this. It's so easy to get a new phone number though, that they don't just disappear. They're usually back in business in a short time.

So go on the offensive with these scumbags and fight back!!! Call them up and let them have it with both barrels!!!! If you will do what I did and give them hell, ask a lot of questions, make a lot of accusations, call them back a bunch of times, and whatever else you can think of to let them know that you're not going to be suckered into anything by them, THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE AND STOP CALLING YOU. Make sure to send that email and report the calls you get from them and call your local police too. Even if it doesn't stop them completely, it makes it much more difficult for them to scam other people. I hope this bit of information has helped someone out there who has has the misfortune to deal with these thieves. You don't have to take this kind of crap. Just let them know that you're not going to stand for it and give them a hard time. Call them as often as you can. Get your friends and family to call them too. As long as they're answering the phone, they're unable to call anyone else and scam them!!!

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 called my local police about these people calling me and local police said they could do nothing.  I then called the FBI in Albany, NY who said they could do nothing because it didn't appear that any crime had been committed yet.  The FBI told me to call the Federal Trade Commission @ 877-438-4338 and report it to them since these crooks had some of my personal information.  I called the FTC and they took the info. that I had concerning these scumbags like their phone #, the company they claimed to be representing, the name(s) they gave, etc.  The FTC said that most likely they didn't have enough of my personal info. to do any damage.  All they have is a name, address, phone no., and last 4 of SS#.  Most likely they can't hurt you unless you buy into their BS and give them the info they want to get a payment from you.  Whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MORE OF YOUR INFORMATION THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE!!!  And, as I said in a previous post, just start calling them back and giving them hell and THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE.  Once they stop answering calls from your number, if you have Verizon Wireless, just dial *67 before their 10 digit phone number and it will show up as a RESTRICTED or UNAVAILABLE number on their end so they will answer again.  Give these guys as much of a hard time as you possibly can and get as many people as you can to start calling them and at the very least it will make their lives suck a bit.  We started cranking our guitar amps up and putting the guitar right up to it so we would get some nice earbloodying feedback and held our phone up to the speaker so when they answered they got an ear full of about 190 decibels of high pitched, squalling, shreaking feedback that would make your toenails curl sideways.  Maybe eventually these scumbags will move on and leave us alone.

I believe this comes from filling out payday loan applications online.

Althought we have never taken a payday loan from a web site, my husband has recently been filling out applications, with my bank account information. Today I received two calls on his phone (he is currently in the hospital on life support).

The first time they asked for me by name. I got the same line the others did. A foreign accented man calling him Aaron Scott said he was from the Legal Affidavidt office of U.S. National Bank. He said I had taken a payday loan for $250 from a web site (he couldn't tell me which one, but that the "mother company" was U.S. National Bank) on January 4th, 2008 (more than two years ago). He said they'd sent me emails and unless I wanted to resolve it now, he would see me "in the courthouse" and that U.S. National would sue me for $4,000. When I assured him that I had never taken such a loan and didn't even know what a payday loan was in 2008, he kept asking me how could he have the reports in front of him.

A few minutes later, another fellow called my husband's number again, this time asking for him instead of me.

This is a total scam. They are counting on that some people who filled out these applications won't remember if they took a loan out then or not and be scared into settling with these con artists.

Do not give them money.

sorry no one can help you out of this case...:-(

I too am receiving harassing calls at work from these people, Justin Wright to be exact and I told them not to call me anymore and they started calling me from different numbers some of them local with the same message, I told them I work for attorneys and to stop calling me and they said they will be speaking with my employer and wished me luck!!!!  I NEVER took a loan from these people, what can I do?????  PLEASE HELP!!!!

How ironic. The same guy called me around this time last year with the same game. Guess it must be a seasonal scam thing.

This is a SCAM!!! Do not give people any money!! The callers alleged names were Ben Johnson and Aaron Scott. They are just annoying terrorist punjabs. They threaten by saying they are going to take legal action

This person named Anthony Rushell  called my phone almost everyday saying I got a loan and havent paid it! I ask them where did the loan go to. They said to my bank account at MetaBank. I never had a bank account at MetaBank period! These people needs to be sued!!!!!

I have just received a call at WORK from this phone number (631) 938-2170. His name was Shawn Carter. He claims he is from US Cash Advance. He claims about 2 yrs ago I took an online loan out and haven't paid it back. I have NEVER done this. He knew where I worked, He knew my home address, also knew the name of some friends and family. Also he claims to know my SS#. He said he could not send me out any documentation in regards to the matter because it is now a pending legal case. He claimed after I gave him my account number and settled the debt he would send me all the paper work! THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULL S***! DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION. ALSO DO NOT CONFIRM ANY INFORMATION WITH THESE PEOPLE OVER THE PHONE.

SAME  THING  CALL  ME  TELLING ME  I  OWE  2300,  THEY  CAN  SET UP  A  APYMENT  FOR  ME  WHAT  SHOULD   I  DO  I THINK IT  IS   A ASCRAM

Caller identified himself as Robert Taylor from "Legal Academic Office" saying the issue is time sensitive leaving this number to call back.  He had a foreign accent and made a threat if my wife refused to return the call saying, "the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you." Our caller ID showed the number 01-067-5560 which might indicate a call of foreign origin, not eastern Long Island as the area code of the return call number would suggest.

They said they are from USA Cash Advance and I never borrowed from them. They left a message from a legal department and serious consequences were involved. How can these people be stopped?

I, too, have been getting multiple calls from 'strong' foreign accent people. Left voice message. This man's name he used was Robert Taylor.  I have not returned the call.  Very threatening messages to me and my place of business,  

How do we stop these people?
