I have had several harassing calls and emails from this guy "Mark White"...he stated I owed money but would not state for what and that legal action would be taken if I did not respond immediately...I was finally tired of this so I answered it to tell the thick accent Indian man that I had "googled" this number and it stated this was a SCAM.  Then he started yelling at me "why do you believe everthying on GOOGLE?"  I simply asked him to stop calling me...

I have been receiving emails from this Captain mark white, which sounds like an American name yet the gentleman I spoke with has an Indian accent and he even left a voicemail with this same Indian accent saying he has a warrant out for my arrest, I will DEFINETLY not be emailing or calling him back anymore and will be doing more investigation on this payday loan scam!!!!

I had contacted some Payday loan people after getting their names from the internet.  I was trying to help someone get access to some funds.  I never followed through on anything, but they had an e-mail address.  Obviously, these e-mail addresses are sold and then you are harrassed.

Can't trust anybody!

I received an e-mail from a Captain Mark White informing me there was a "legal action" and I had to call him at the number in order for him to download the information about the action to me.  It was written that if I didn't respond, the "action" would be filed in federal court and my employer would be notified.

He used a website address www.fincen.gov which is an actual e-mail site for the Federal money regulatory agency.

Absurd stuff......and very annoying.

I got a call from an Indian guy at 702 609 9301 claiming to represent the federal government stating that there was a complaint on my name and that if I had a lawyer to represent me in court the next day. Calling him back, I got his machine which stated in his voice that he was part of the US Marshal Service.

I received the same voicemail threatening me that someone has done a complain about me, I don't owe any money and this is a complete scheme, the guy had a very thick eastern indian accent, he threaten me that some one has taken legal action about me and he was the Canadian agency of environment, please don't reply to him. It is a complete scheme.

I received a phone call early in the morning from a Eric Johnson at 702-609-9301 about my passport and that there has been complaints about me.  Funny how I have not used my passport in a very long time.  I live in Canada and I think if there was complaints about me that a real Canadian official would get a hold of me.  Not worried at all about this. Just deleted the message. But had to check out the number.

I have also received two e-mails from a Captain Mark White & Captain Craig Washington. They both say the exact same things!! There is a Criminal Act plsced upon you. That I owe $985.21 to one & $987.00 to the other. Neither one of the e-mails state who the money is owed to! I've talked to them, they are COMPLETE IDIOTS!! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS....ITS A HUGE SCAM!!! Their phone numbers are:
702-609-9301 & 902-800-2604

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.

Read this investigative report ABC News did on this scam:

Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans have been targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers suspected of links to organized crime in India, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The calls are part of a massive scam, one that appears to target struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claim to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, have managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place.

"This is what we call a phantom debt collection scam," said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. "It's a very pernicious and innovative new fraud."

Working through call centers in India, the commission estimates that the criminals have dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some have reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. They are victims like Cindy Gervais, of New Orleans, who went online for a quick loan when her husband's car was hit by a driver who didn't have insurance.

Even though she paid the loan off, the so-called "phantom" debt collectors with Indian accents began calling to say she still owed money.

"He more or less told me that if I didn't pay, they were going to have someone on my doorstep to arrest me," she told ABC News. "And that they were going to contact my place of business, and tell them what kind of person I am."

At first, she said she resisted. Then the calls became more frequent, and started to ring on her cell phone, and at the grocery distribution company where she had worked for 27 years.

"I was more or less in panic mode because he told me there would be someone before noon at my place of business to arrest me and take me to jail," she said tearfully. "So I agreed to pay him."

After receiving scores of complaints, investigators with the FTC said they began tracking the calls, and following the payments. They alleged the payments led them to a California company run by an Indian-American named Kirit Patel, and that such scams would not be possible without American front men.

"I would say that all roads of this scam, or many of the roads of this scam, lead back to Mr. Patel," said the FTC's Leibowitz.

ABC News tracked Patel for weeks, from the suburbs of San Francisco to Austin, Texas.

Patel refused to talk. But his lawyer, Mark Ellis, said he believes it is far too early to pass judgment on his client. Ellis, a Sacramento-based attorney, told ABC News that Patel was hired for a nominal fee to set up an American shell company, and had no idea what the call centers in India were doing.

"I can tell you, he was as snookered by the people in India as anybody," Ellis said. "He's a 69-year-old man who is nearing his retirement who thought all he had to do was set up some corporations and everything was on the up and up. He's completely dismayed that he has become the lightning rod of this entire problem."

A close friend of Patel's also defended him in a brief interview at his home, saying Patel was not trying to defraud anyone -- he was just an unwitting, bit player in a larger scheme.

I also recieved an email from this so called "captain mark white" saying that i owed a certain amount of money and if i was too ignore it, he would take me to court. BEWARE anyone that has gotten these emails, they are scams, I called and it was some indian's guy voice mail. TRUST ME. do not give out your personal information. I myself got startled and scared when I saw it, because it looked so real. So i did alittle research and found out alot of people had gotten one too. ALSO if you are going to scam someone at least learn how to correctly make your sentences! seriously. Dont worry about it, and if it continues just try and report it!

I am laughing right now because he keeps sending me these crazy attachments threatening me with legal action.  It's  a complete sham and the Indian freak called me up two months ago....What happened is I had  been foolish enough to apply for an online loan in September because I thought I could benefit from it..Bad mistake never never give out any information to any loan company on the internet because this Indian freak who is very vile and rude and harassed me constantly is now scamming me by email too.  I am so glad I found this review board...and please people don't give out your name, your email address or any personal information out to any company even if it looks legitimate...it's all a scam and they use that information against you down the road to bully you into thinking you are in the wrong ...

I received a total of 4 e-mails from a Captain Mark White, US Marshal's office, Federal Crime enforcement department, listing this number 702 609 9301 along with 813 667 3018.  I am working with the local Columbus OH US Marshal's office on this.  The deputy has instructed me to not contact or call them; they will be following up.  

This is the 2nd time I have received an e-mail from this Captain Mark White with this number 702 609 9301.  I have received an additional e-mail on Monday 2.24.14 from a different number 813 667 3018 (i have posted a scam listing on this number).  I am working with the US Marshal's office regarding these e-mails since he signing it as an officer with the US Marshal which is a federal offense.  

Please everyone-double check everything before buying into these scam. I contact the US Marshal's office, the deputy in charge check and guess what-there are not federal or civil suits out there on my name or ssn.  Though I can rest easy about this, my concern is for those who are believable enough to buy into this and think that paying them this sum will make it go away.  It only keeps going.

I got a message on my machine from some East Indian guy at 702 609 9301 claiming to represent the federal government stating that there was a complaint on my file and that if I ignored this call I'd be taken into custody. Calling him back, I got his machine which stated in his voice that he was part of the US Marshal Service. I've never even been to America!

I received a 2nd e-mail from Mark White, captain in the US Marshal's office with this number 702 609 9301 listed in the e-mail.  I have posted additional e-mails inquiries with different numbers (813 667 3018) and have also contacted the local US Marshal office for Columbus Oh.  He is not at all connected with the US Marshal's office

Call back got Mr Bob Clark who has a 15,000.00 certified check for me but I need 150.00 to pay for the Delaware state stamp.  Mr Clark is with Price Waterhouse-Cooper ane they are located at 303 Parson St, in Las Vegas Nevada and the office number is 702-609-9764.  Told him take 150 out of check and then send me balance can't do.  If he sends check bank will hold monies until I pay 150 I told him send check and I'd send money to state. Can't send check until I send money. Hope he doesn't hold his breath. by the way magic jack is a contraption people buy and hook up to their phones and calls are made thru it to cut the cost of your phone bill.

Someone trying to cover-up a foreign accent -- probably East Indian -- called from this number this morning, but the caller ID was showing up as 224-223-6892 (cellular).  The foreigner said, "Hello, my name is Bob Clark and I am representing PricewaterhouseCoopers and calling in regards to a certified check for $850,000 that you've been owed for your releasing. As soon as you receive this message, call 702-609-9764. Thank you and have a blessed day."  I'm obviously not calling him back :)

I got a call from this number 7026099596 and was told that I had money waiting for me to pick up the guy's name was Mort or Mark Green with a heavy accent.  I was told to go to Meijers to get a Green Dot Card, which is a scratch card or money pack for $200.  I did not go because my daughter told me that is was a scam to get money out of people and you will end up with nothing.

702 609-9656 Be very careful! Ignore it!!!! bad #!!!
Block It!!!

I let this number go to voicemail. The message sounded like a telemarketing room, but no real message was left.

they just called me and asked me if i was in any illegal activity or did drugs and some other stuff

I just received a call from this number froma person who pretended to be my granddaughter, claiming she went on a spur of the moment trip to the Dominican Republic and had gotten busted for running a stop sign and needed help.  She said a police officer would call me back in 5 to 10 minutes.  She also asked me not to tell anyone.  Shortly after that a man claiming to be a police officer with the Dominican Republic International Police called back and offered to let release her on a no record bond if I transfered money to him.  I told him I would have to talk to her parents.  He said he would have to talk to her and inform her of that and would call back after that.

all i heard when it went to voice mail was greghergkjsdnkjgbnkjdfnbhnldfhbdf

He is still calling not saying he is he is from a financial company.

He called the person he's trying to scam shameless?! LOL!

Received the same call from the same person with the same accent claiming to work for Sony and trying to get me to go to that W. Sahara location to pick up my prize.  My search online shows that it's a timeshare company: http://www.wholesaleresortservices.com/las-vegas.html.  If the quality of their salespeople is any indication of how they do business (shady), I hope they go out of business real soon.

I received a call from this number and the person calling told me he was employed by Sony, his name was Jeffery Wilson and that his direct dial was 703-688-4656.  He told me I won a 32' flat screen tv, $2,005 cash, a Royal Carribean cruise and a Ford Escape Hybrid.  Then he transfered me to his senior floor officer named "Joe" to get information on picking up my prizes.  Joe told me that he worked for WRS Promotions at 8961 W. Sahara, Suite 102, Las Vegas, Nevada 89177. Both men had very heavy accents.  He tried to convince me to show up at his office to listen to a presentation from the sponsors so I could get my prize.  I told him I was not interested and asked him to take me off his call list.  He responded by yelling at me "Thank you for wasting my company's time.  Do not fill out our coupons anymore you are shameless.  Get lost!" Then he hung up! Seriously!  The nerve of these people.

Beware of Scam

Call to my cell phone and it sounded like a boiler room.  Was told that I had entered a Sony Sweepstakes at one of 10 different retailers that he rattled off (Sears, Best Buy, JC Penney etc) and that I had won.  As soon as I told him I have never entered a Sony Sweepstakes, he immeidately hung up.

I got a call from this number on my unlisted work cell phone.  Didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number.  I was upset to find out that it is a telemarketer when I researched the number.  I have since assigned that number to not ring.
