They have called me too.  saying it was a collection agency to collect money for a payday loan. They said they had records from my bank and when I asked when the loan was deposited in my bank they told me in March.  I told them I was going to call my bank and ask about the deposit, they got upset and said not to, but to call my attorney because I was going to have to proove to a judge that I didn't take the loan.  and that I and my children (who they gave me thier names), would be arrested.  I have contacted the police and I also called the state attorney general, and when I told them what was going on, they said it was a scam and that I would need a business phone number or a land line number in order for them to do anything.  I haven't checked yet, but I think they have been using cell phones, which is what the contact at the attorney general office said.  Maybe if we all call the attorney general in the states in which we live and we do some snooping and ask for an address from theese people maybe we can get something done.

Con artist.  Calls me at work and at home for a non-existant debt to Cashnet - a payday loan company.  I've called cashnet because I did actually use them before ages ago but paid the loan off on time.  They've confirmed to me that somone is commtting fraud in their name and  under no circumstances to give the caller any private information that they don't already have.

They also told me that the police will be at my door the next day to bring me to court. I asked him what country he's calling from and he told me he was calling from California. But the area code was 713??? thats taxes!!! Its a true scam!!

I was out yesterday (7/15) but when I got back to work today I had two difference voicemails from these lunatics!  One was to this number from someone claiming to be Sam Walters.  Had an extremely thick accent..possibly from India.  It sounded automated.  The way it was worded was trying to be intimidating. I haven't yet been able to answer to see what they want.  If it is for a legitmate debit they need to give me information.

Just called this guy and messed with him big time. Told him I was Tom and that he called me about owing a debt. Then I proceeded to just unleash my fury on this douchbag. I'm about to start a website where we call these idiots back and mess with them and record it all for your enjoyment. Its the least I could do to balance the scales a bit.

I got a call yesterday from some man that said his name is Sean Paul, H e stated I needed to call as soon as I got this message, and if I did not call back all he could do is wish me luck.I called back and got a man who first said his name was Ralph he told me what the call was about, but when I started asking him questions about this payday loan, he got mad. before he ended the call I asked him his name and he said Sean Perrod.I called back today and spoke with a lady that told me her name was Jack Anderson. I asked her when the loan was got she did not want to tell me and when she did give me a date I did not have a bank account with my bank at that time.I feel in my heart its a scam

From Lamet's post:

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.wvago.gov
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:

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam

January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers.   Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.

When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid.  Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago.  The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names.  It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are ?spoofed? numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer?s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.

When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent.  These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer?s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer?s computer IP address.  Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.

If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court.  Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union.  The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as ?We?re filing an affidavit against you? or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.

A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment.  This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General?s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work.  Despite the employee?s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an ?officer?.

?I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ?If that?s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming?,? stated the employee.

?It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,? Attorney General Six said. ?If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.?

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact.  The notification should contain  information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer?s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.

To register a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General?s Consumer Protection Division, call 1(800) 432-2310 or visit www.ksag.org.

Debt Collector
This call is a scam.  The guy called me about a payday loan that I never had.  I did actually get the name of the company that I had this supposed payday loan from and found a number and called them.  They told me this scam is going around a lot right now.  First they call to try and scare you (he told me the police would be showing up at my door in a couple of hours, lol) and then they call back to try and get money from you.  Of course i would never give them my bank info, but it is frightening because he had my social security number, address, business address and telephone.  Hope these people rot in hell.
