And that check is probably 99.9% rubber..  it probably will bounce off the walls and flooring better then a super ball in a all cement building.. Beware any check sent where they want you to send any "excess" money back to some obscure place.

Sending fake checks through the mail is a crime so contact the US Postal Service Inspectors:

Why?  The number is obviously being spoofed and the previous comments should not be disregarded.

Currently in contact with Ariana Mills, apparently I have a check in the mail for 2100 that I must cash for art supplies. Seems legit.

I actually got a job offer from someone using that number too. They call themselves "Ariana MIlls" from "Ariana Mills Investment" and their email is arianamillsinvestment@outlook.com. Kinda clued me in because when's the last time the boss at a big investment firm emailed you back personally, asking for more information (not a resume-which they coulda gotten the same info they asked for from? Mind you, it's just a warehouse job!!! So, I searched for the firm- no trace of them. But she gave this number on the bottom under her signature, and since I use Chrome, I can just highlight the number and click "have google search for ......" and that's how I got to this website. Glad I went with my instincts and didn't send them any information. People calling me all the time woulda REALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!
You are definitely right though, it is hard to believe they make any money. Especially when the number they're using is burned and they continue posting it as if no one is gonna search it. What has our society become when "CON MEN" are so careless and their cons apparent- what does that say about us when people actually get tricked by these idiots?

wrong...this # belongs to someone now. please disregard prior comments.

this is someone's # now. whatever happened in 2011...is from 2011. why assume the user still has this #?

Horse crap punjabi you are a liar and a thief as well. Get a REAL job

Oh horse snot you are such a rube go get a life d****ad

2 first names, a dead give away. John is used as the last name at least 59% of the time. These people are so ignorant it's hard to believe they make any money at all with these scams. I just got a job offer from this same number on Craigslist. might follow through with it just for giggles. See if I can scam the scammer lol

Yes, this guy is e-mailing our business and as soon as I got his number I googled it. He wants a commission sent to him via western union for $1200.00. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA wow this is a desperate act. Many of these people are scamming from African countries and do not have good grammar or English speaking abilities. So sad : (

They are still doing this.  They use magic jack to hack and found out I had been scammed through an ad on craigslist and tried to use that to scam me again.  They are actually in Nigeria.

Just got a text from this number wanting to buy my ipad 3 from a craigslist ad, texted back after looking up number informed them if they contacted me again would report to authorities

You can file police reports all day. It's a CLEC or VOIP phone, they are not in this country. Muslim scammers looking for money to harm our troops. I hope anybody stoopid enough to fall for this crap get their legs blown off too! The Muslims are running scam on CL too. Note the phone number in the ad. Call them and I bet the BS starts soon after:

Same thing just happened to me.

Got call from this number said my ssn was on hold. Stupid foreigner with accent.

This person by the name of Eric Brown who had a very strong accent like he was from India. He left me a message stating that it was a "serious matter and that it was a time concious situation". He said that I needed to call some attorneys office and that if I did not call him back that all he could do was wish me luck. Needless to say, I called him back and I told him that his name was not Eric Brown and that I do not owe that company money and that he needed to go back to India or Egypt or wherever he was from. I told him not to call my number anymore or else they were going to have a problem with me.

I got a call he said he was at the courthouse and sent me a letter via email that states THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE has a case number and said it was for some payday loan I never paid. He said his name is Gary Smith and was a foreigner as well. Said I could owe $9481.86 once te case gets downloaded in the court. Also the individual stated that he could not provide me the name of the loan company because there is over 127 loan companies. I plan on contacting the FBI regarding this issue, first because they are cutting and pasting information from the Department of Justice. I did a search on the address via google and it does not even exist. These guys freaked me out as well and said they would contact my employer, and said the police would be coming to my office to pick me up.

My heart nearly stopped when I played back my cell phone voicemail messages and heard that I was the subject of "a serious lawsuit" and that my SS# is on hold by the U.S. Government . A man with a very strong accent stated that his name is Officer Jeff Ford and stated that my residential address is currently under investigation. I think I believed him at first because he said my name. I called my mother who is the smartest person I know and she called the man back. He thought she was me and stated I owed for a loan that was never payed back. He refused to give the name of the company that this loan was from and stated we may need to get a lawyer to settle this issue. He then asked us to call (646-470-1673). I then typed this number into google and realized that this is indeed a scam.

Jack Ford? His name may as well be Jack Off... He is a real scammer!

I get calls from them all the time, when I catch them in their lie they tell me to go f- my mother. What a real bunch of scum bags!

I am getting threatening collection calls from some guy from New York.

I just got a call from this guy to.. Jack ford trying to say cash advance has a lawsuit on me.. Wow what a jack***

Received a call a few minutes ago from the same person.  His story to me was that I had a lawsuit filed against me #3137866025 and the company that filed the suit was Cash Advance.  When I asked him, Which state is the suit filed?" (several times) he hung up.

This a***ole called me today too.. said i was being investigated and had a law suit against me.. i couldnt understand him, and he got nasty with me so i said "f*** you!!" and hung up.. plus when i called them back, the phone rang and went to a voicemail?? these people need to grow up and get a job!!!!

A guy called claiming to be law enforcement!!  Definitely was not!

YES  CALL  ME   3  TIMES  ON MY  CELL PH NO  AND  SAID  I  OWE  MONEY  BACK  FROM  9/29/2009   FOR    A  PAYDATE  LOAN  WANTED  ME    TO  SETTLE  IT   TODAY  OR  I  WILL  GO  TO  JAIL WHY  DOENT  THESE  PEOPLE   LEAVE  ME  ALONE

Called first acting like he was a police officer and then I asked him if he was calling about student loan and he changed his story. Wanted a check sent directly to him. He called several times being very rude. He had a very thick accent and when you tried calling back, just got his voice mail. This is ridiculous, how can we stop this from happening?

Probably the same person who wrote the "Jamie Heater" post! HAHAHAHA! Another one who doesn't speak English trying to sound like a debtor who saw the light! "I Get Resolve My Loan Issue With Them"? WTF is that!? Why the hell did you feel the need to capitalize each word? Is it the title of a book you're writing on your experience as an extortionist? You are probably not even female! I'm sure when females are involved in this criminal activity it is probably only because their husbands beat them into submission and force them to do it. Admit it, your culture is at least 200 years behind Western Civilization. That whole part of the world should just be wiped out. I mean, really, what do they have to offer to the rest of the world? Pretty much nothing we can't get elsewhere. I'm sure they're training their children to make phone calls so when they "retire" there's someone else there to rob Americans. I'm sure you make your family proud! It never ceases to amaze me that you can sleep at night knowing that you are such a low-life scummy criminal robbing people daily. Does that really make you feel good about yourself? IDK, I guess I just can't understand how some people have no morals and/or ethics yet they can still live with themselves day to day. YOU ARE A PIECE OF SH**! A BANCHUT! Have a piece of steak tonight on me! HAHAHHAHAHA!

Oh for God's sake! Like we can't tell from your sentence structure that you are an Indian shill! Beside that, you are a BANCHUT! Why don't you do something useful with your time and get a REAL JOB!?
I do, however, have a question that you might be able to answer. What the HECK is "putting my social security number on hold"?!?!?!? Is that something they do in India? They certainly don't do it here in the USA. As far as "life in prison"? In the USA, we don't even put convicted killers in jail for life! GET A LIFE! Perhaps we should just bomb your country? Is that what it will take to get you jerks to stop? If it is, I'M ALL FOR IT!
Did you ever stop to think when you go to bed at night that you may be looking at an eternity in NARAKA? Or do you believe in reincarnation? You'd better be a better person or tree or insect the next time around. Maybe reincarnation goes hand in hand with Karma? That would mean you'll probably come back as an ANAL BEAD!  People who steal are not considered "good people" in any religion. And you, my friend, are NOT a good person. My final suggestion to you is to go F**K A COW!

this person called last year for the same thing,  took my money and never paid the debt and he is calling to day I told him he can all me lawyer and take it up with him
