Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller?s instructions. Rather, you should:

?Notify your banking institutions.
?Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
?Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
?File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

?Never give your Social Security number?or personal information of any kind?over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
?Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
?Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
?Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
?Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
?When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

I received a call from these guys this morning, i shouldve looked their number up before calling them back. anyway the message i was left was threatening so i was curious to see what this call was about.

some guy answers w/ a heavy accent and says r u so and so i said yes, who is this? he said before i answer that i need to go through some "legalities" with you. please do not interrupt.  so i listened, and tried to pick up what i could.. i said okay, so your calling on behalf of a creditor who is the creditor.. some AAC company, i said okay. he said we are filing a law suit against you for money laundering in your state. i said okay, you need to pay $6k by the end of the day so we can resolve this. i said you know what, i'll wait for the lawsuit because this doesnt sound right. what is the case number... 05478-LM he responds. i did bk/criminal law in AZ so i said.. this isnt even a case number, besides, if you havent filed suit yet, how did you get a "case number." then he got upset... if you hang up on me we will proceed. please do so, i responded.  so i did a 646 area code lookup it was state of NY. i called the DA's office and they assured me that i was scammed.  i need to put a fraud alert on my credit reports and get a new DL number.  the guy had my DL number!! thats what freaked me out...

SCAM.....don't be afraid of their tactics. They cannot do anything to you or your bank account without your permission. Even if you have an unpaid payday loan, you should check with your states attorney general to verify the legality. I took out a payday loan and had trouble paying back. Did it online and i live in NC. These loans are ILLEGAL in NC no matter where they originate from and the attorney general suggested that i make attempts to pay them back at least the INITIAL amount, but that they have NO LEGAL recourse to collect this debt as it was an illegal transaction. Apparently they have given the loan over to a place here in the states located in Las Vegas...they have no legal means of collecting the money either. At this point I don't trust that even if i paid them the money that the calls would stop.

I just got another phone call from them (actually 2 in a row), the second phone call had the wrong name. So they just asked for a guy name Steve and I said "no". The guy sounded confused. The first time, he left a message and after the canned message that he left, he left his phone off the hook and I could hear like 10 guys in the back ground (all of them with a middle eastern accent), All of them saying the same thing, just canned messages of basically "you or your retained attorney of record ----". Obviously there is always about 1 minute worth of a scam message.

The caller ID is coming in as 298 also.

The phone calls dont stop. I have been dealing with these scam phone calls for 1 1/2 years. Sometimes they go away for 2-3 months and then they pick right back up again. They are usually someone from India, who cant be touched. Your phone number is in a phone bank and all they do is just call and hope some American will pay. They try to use a scare tactic to get people to pay. Then even if you do pay, it will never stop. In fact you will get more phone calls, cause now they will put it in the record that you did pay. They guy who called me was a Alan Smith with a middle Eastern accent that I could barely understand.

You can change your phone number and that might help but they will probably call your work or something like that. They don't give a crap whether you keep a job or not. All they want is you to give the scammers money. It does get a little embarrassing when they call your work and you have to explain it is a scam.

I have my States Attorneys office in my cell phone number list, just in case my work needs to talk to them.

Obviously a lot of this gets tied into a online payday loan, that you either applied for or something like that.
