It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.

ABC News and the West Virginia Attorney General have warned consumers about this scam; here are the links:

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1
http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm

This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."

Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Legal Affidavit, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, Sonic Bank, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.

The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)

The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.

A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.

This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida ( http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.

Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )

Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.

This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):

1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.

2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov  Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.

3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone.  Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.

4) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org

5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)

By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

They have been calling me at my job for 2 years the first time they called me they said i had committed a serious crime and that the police would be at my job in 20 minutes if I didnt pay $565 immediately. They never showed up but they call ever week still several times a day its very embarrassing I have asked them to send me a invoice of what I owe them several times by mail and fax I have NEVER recieved anything yet. Everytime they call I ask them to send me a invoice so I can see what and why I owe them but they to this day have never ever mailed, faxed, or emailed me anything! if I hang up on them they call back. They know everything about the pay roll people here, and once talked to the plant manager here he told them it was against Oregon state to call and harrass people before he left they havent stopped though! I wish they would stop!!! I have changed my home number so I dont have to listen to them at all!.

So these arabian sounding people call me every other day bothering me to speak with my husband. So today I was like okay whatever i am sick of you people calling so I let them talk to him. They told him that they were the US Legal Dept Financial Crime Division and that he had committed fraudulent activities in order to obtain money and that there was a warrant for his arrest. They then said that my husband owed 3 hundred dollars to an Arrow Head Investment and it was for a loan. They have all of his personal information which made us want to believe them. But my husband is not a fool so he began to ask then questions and try and get information from them and he basically told them that he wasnt going to pay them any money with out any documentation that we actually owed them this money. Then this guy said "let me tell you that you are an a***ole" and then hung up... The only information that he did get out of them was the crap they feed us about being the us government and a web site of www.fincin.gov which is the wrong address anyways the real Us Legal Dept Fincail Crimes Divisions web site is www. fincen.gov. We called our local police dept and reported this scam to them and then we called the real US Legal Dept Financial Crimes People and filed a report with them and let them know what these people were doing. They said that this is an ongoing problem and that the FBI is looking into it on their behalf. They are using number shadowing technology to make it appear that they are calling from the US when really they are calling from somewhere in the middle east. DONT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY AND JUST TELL THEM YOUR REPORTING THEM AND HANG UP.

Debt Collector
Got a call from these losers this morning. "Roger" (which he could hardly pronounce through a heavy Indian accent) from "US Legal Department of Financial Crime" (which by the way, is NOT a government agency) although they lead you to believe it is. They called saying my name was a part of financial fraud.

I surmise they are pulling credit reports and calling numbers on there. Do not give these people ANY information!!!! This is a fraud, harassment and illegal. A debt collector CANNOT threaten you in any way, it is illegal. Please call your local police and if needed FBI and report them.

They called me at work and my supervisor took the message. When I called them back they stated that I had committed 3 counts of financial fraud but yet they would not give me any information regarding the fraud. I was told that if I do not pay them by 1 pm that I would be arrested. These people tend to call me every 3 months with the same thing. I have reported this number and every number that has called me to the FBI as well as the police. I was told not to give any information whether they say that they already have it.

Debt Collector
Called and left message under name 'Officer Anderson' and that he was calling from the financial crimes division..said I should either call back or get an attorney.  I called back freaking out and apparently it is an India call center working on behalf of a junk debt collection agency regarding one unpaid bill from 2003 that did not show up on my credit report.  After going through the call and trying to determine exactly what the call was regarding and the amount of money they were asking for (becuase I had cleaned my credit up over the last two years and would not think of anything outstanding), he asked me if he could ask me some questions to determine if I was of 'good moral character'...I hung up.
