that b*****d called me around645pm today i got really upset and didnt know what to do i'm out of worh due to health reasons and i paying on fines for driving i really didn't need this b*****d messing up my day i cried about an hour until my daughter gave me your email i'm not good with computers so she had to find out what was going on for me.  I hope he chokes on a loaf of bread then get sent to jail where some big dick guy helps him when he drops the soap   thank you for your story

Have been dealing with the same thing for the past 24  hours. This xxhole going by Kevin Lloyd, and claiming to be an attorney for CashAdvance. He called me at my office (dont know how he got the number) and started harrassing me saying that I never paid off an old loan. He threatened to have the Sherif at my office the next morning if I did't pay the balance. He claimed that because there were federal charges against me, he could not accept any funds from anything other than Western Union.
I was so scared, that I bought his lies. I am not in a position where I can afford to lose my job and gamble with the possibility that something from my past was somehow overlooked.
The next day he called to say that the funds were rejected because I paid too late in the day and that now even more charges for penalties and legal measures were added to my account and I would need to pay $3500 more to get out of trouble.
I called BS on the whole thing, as did the policeman I spoke to. This SCUM-Scammer was so stupid, he actually tried to convince the cop that he had a legitimate case against me. The cop was great and called BS on the whole thing.
Two hours later, I get a call from a 911 #. It's the same idiot, now claiming to be a policeman from the San Diego Police Dept. He threatened to send a sherif to my office if I was not able to pay $6000 by 2:00 today. I lost my cool at this time and went off calling him a Scum of the earth scammer. GET THIS!! He owned up to it. He said "Ya, so what, you better send me the money or I'll get you fired. I'll call your boss and tell him you have federal charges against you and he will get sick of me calling and will fire you". Luckily, my attorney boss was privy to the conversation via speakerphone.
DO NOT BELIEVE HIM!! He is not an attorney and can not send a Sherif to your door for a civil case. Civil cases go to court and get judgements, not sherifs showing up at your doorstep.

Claims to be Kevin Lloyd attorney Bar Number 52013 for Investigatory Services.  Leaves threatning messages on voicemail demanding a call back within a certain time limit.  Upon call back states that your social security number was being investigated for commiting fraud in a New York City.  Never got further than that because I sprung into him then hung up.

I started getting messages yesterday at home and one at work from a Claudia Jones, who has a very heavy accent. She states she's from "financial department" and for me or my attorney to call her and do not disregard the message. The messages all say the same until the one left this morning stating the same things and also that my social security # is under state investigation. Never says what state. Don't know what the heck is going on!!!

I received the same message today. I called her back and she was really rude and said I was being sued for a cash advance that I never had. She won't say what company she works for. She hung up on me when I started to ask questions about the company.The only thing I got from the conversation was she is in NY.When I asked so what am i suppose to do, she had no answer and continued to talk about money. I'm worried because she has my social and bank numbers.

Well now she is calling my best friend threatening her with jail if she doesn't get me to call back and she better get an attorney. This is what upsets me the most now. I can deal with these people and will but how do you get them from harrassing family and freinds? Very scary that they have so much info.

They have been calling me at home and at work. All though I have had pay day loans I have paid all of them back I am so sick of these people calling me. When they call at home I answer but they will never talk just leave the same stupid message...

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 had a call from this number yesterday both to my work and home.  They left a message indicating that I had an online payday loan that I didn't pay back and that now they were filing a lawsuit against me and that I should not disregard the message.  I called back and spoke to a gentleman who ended up hanging up on me.  I called back again and spoke to a woman who indicated her name was Claudia Jones.  She also hung up on me to which I called back a third time.  She wanted to know why I kept calling back.  I told her that she had not given me the information that I was seeking.  I told her that I wanted to know the creditor that she was attempting to claim on, their phone number, email address, mailing address and contact person.  She refused to give me that information and hung up on me again.  I called back a 4th time and asked for her name and to spell it, her company to which she replied that she said all of that when she answered the phone and I asked her to repeat it.  She said her name was Claudia Jones and she was with the Financial Department of the Manhattan County Court House in New York City, NY 10013.  She had to ask someone else about the zip code...strange. After listening to the message again that was left on my phone, it's for Cash Advance America LLC.  I was unable to find a company by that exact name in the state of NY.  Anyway, I called the New York County court house as there is no Manhattan County court house, but the court house is in Manhattan, NY.  I reported them to the FBI, the Secret service and to my local Attorney General's office in Missouri.

This is a scam.  I called a company I had had a payday loan with before and was told to Google India Payday Loan Scam.  Check out this link.  They are just trying to get money out of you.

dear Sjones, unfortunatly these scum are thieves who have stolen you info, probably form a time when you may have applied for a loan or credit card, if you used you friend as a reference thats how they have her number.  I have had the same thing happen to me and they have also called my work.  You and your friend should report the number - but that won't help stop the calls - I have been dealing with this for months - it started after I applied for a loan online - which I didn't even take because the payback was going to be so high - now I get these calls every couple of months.  Hang in there - hopefully these dirtbags will be caught and shut down. report the number and what they said to www.ic3.gov

I started getting messages last Thursday at home and one at work from a Claudia Jones, who has a very heavy accent. She states she's from "financial department" and for me or my attorney to call her and do not disregard the message. The messages all say the same until the one left this morning stating the same things and also that my social security # is under state investigation. Never says what state. I realize it is a scam and can do things to report them. The one thing that is really bothering me is my best friend called and said she received a voicemail call from the same woman and that she threatened her that if she didn't have me call back that she was in serious trouble and could go to jail. Thankfully my friend didn't pick up but realized it had to be a scam.

I can handle these scum myself, but how do you get them to stop calling family and friends. That is what makes me the most upset.
