Please do not allow this to frighten you, I also have received many of these calls, they have used different company names and of the 3 companies that have been used, I called the companies and checked, there were no loans in my name and the companies have acknowledged that it is a scam that has been reported.  I have reported this to the Attorney General's office.  There have been many cases of this and the tactics are very disturbing and scary and from the information I received from the detective in charge, your call and mine were mild compared to the tactics used on some people.  Make sure you document the times that the calls come in and the numbers when you can.  Also, if you want to have some fun and turn it around, relax and go after them.  It is amazing how they will keep going at you and then they will hang up but unfortunately, they still call back.  Know one thing though, it is definitely a scam whether you had a loan in 2007 or not, it was not with these people, that is not how business is handled.  Special note, I have tried to call both of these numbers about 10 times today and all I get is a busy signal, guess they have new numbers to dial from now.  Hang in there.

I just received the same call from the same number....this time at my place of employment.  Again I was told that a sheriff would be around to pick me up in the morning.  I called the police department a few weeks ago and reported it and was told it was a scam to not be concerned.  They are pathetic!

I have recieved the same cal from a person named jeff marsh but she sound like hes from india and continued to argue with me saying i took out a payday loan in 2007 i dont have the credit for a loan so was really scared about what was going on since i was told that the sharif will get me in the morning. i called my local police he told me that it was a scam so dont retern there calls!

Yep just got the same call.   Not to worried though, some guy in India is going to try and tell me how our legal system works,  NOPE.  First off we would all have to recieve some sort of written documentation before they could even take it to court.  And then the courts would have to issue a Bench Warrent to have you picked up after missing the first court case.  That would mean the judge would have to sign off on that.  Either way no worries.  They are clowns and think they have the upper edge.  I just checked my credit report and I have nothing out there about a payday loan that is out standing.  Sorry guys in India try some one else.

I got the call today . I also got one last month. They tried to tell me I had taken a loan with the bank I currently bank with. I knew from before it was a scam so I told him if there was a problem they would call me. He said he was calling from a law firm I told him I did not care. I asked him when the loan was taken and he said he would give it to me if I gave him my social security number. I told him no I was not stupid. He then said he would see me in court tomorrow. I told him fine we did not have court on Satursday.

I got 2 phone calls on my cell phone(yesterday and today).  They all happened in the evenings. I was in the middle of something, so I didn't pick it up.  It's busy tone when I called back.  Then, I figure out to do some research on these 2 different phone numbers. I am amazed how many people got these kind of scam called.  Anyway, my point is that DSS is right. I work with D.A. office with LA County.  Written doc. is always the first thing that we do legally.  We don’t just give you a phone call and scared you like what those people did.  If you want to play with them, tell them that you are the officer and you are recording this conversation for filing the report.  Let’s see what they will react!

I've been receiving a call from this gentleman (Andrew Philips) who had heavy Indian accent.  Heavy noise in the background and it was difficult to understand him.  He was keeping repeating that I was going to jail, police are going to come and get me, and wish you good luck.  However, I did take out a payday loan.  I did not receive any documents in the mail.  He said he was with Crime Monitoring Division.  I haven't had a chance to talk to him but it's scaring me.  What should I do?

Also calling from 714-333-2947.  I had the same experience as those listed above.  I was terrified, called an attorney and was referred to the Iowa Attorney General's office/Consumer Advocate Banking Division.  I was assured that these are scam calls.  Still frightening!

I strongly suggest that we watch our credit cards and bank accounts closely over the next bit, and contact the bank/lender immediately if we see a charge that we didn't make!

We also got 3 phone calls from this place this week with the same threats..One was at my husbands work place. So I called the state police they said that they could guarentee it was a scam..That I should call them back and get other info..Like what date,creditor..etc.I called them back and they said that my husband would find out when they came to arrest him.I called the Better Business Bureau,Pa. Attorney General, FTC and Cosumer protection. They had my banking info also..It was scary..But I feel better knowing other people have this happening to them

I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM 714-459-5066. HE SAID HE NEEDS ME OR MY PAID ATTORNEY OF RECORD TO RETURN THE CALL- AND THAT THE ISSUE AT HAND WAS EXTREMELY TIME SENSITIVE-THEN SAYS "THE HOT LINE TO MY BUSINESS IS 714-459-5066 ON A MESSAGE LEFT- FRIDAY AUGUST 28TH AT 4:04 PM.HE STATED THAT IF I  OR MY ATTORNEY DIDN'T CALL HIM ALL HE COULD IS WISH THEM LUCK, SO I CALLED HIM AND HE ASKED ME IF I HAD BEEN BRIEFED ON MY CASE. HE SAID HE WOULD TELL ME THE INFORMATION AS LONG AS I DIDN'T INTERRUPT HIM. HE SAID I WAS BEING BOUGHT UP ON 3 FELONY CHARGES FOR GETTING A PAY DAY LOAN FRAUDULENTLY. I IMMEDIATELY DENIED THOSE CHARGERS AND TOLD THEM TO SEND ME THE PAPER WORK, HE SAID HE HAD TO SEND THEM TO MY JOB. I ASKED FOR THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS I SUPPOSEDLY OWED AND HE SAID IT WAS "FIRST CARE FINANCIAL" AND HIS NAME WAS JEFFERY WALKER OF C.WILLIAMS & ASSOCIATES. I LOOKED BOTH BUSINESS UP ON THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU SITE AND NONE WERE LEGIT. I CALLED HIM BACK ASKING WHY NONE OF THESE BUSINESS'S WERE LISTED AND HE SAID TO JUST HAVE MY ATTORNEY CALL HIS FIRM PLEASE. I AM SO PISSED. I KNOW WHEN I APPLIED FOR A PAY DAY LOAN AND IT WAS RECENTLY AND WHEN I WAS UNAPPROVED I GAVE UP EFFORTS. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH THESE PAYDAY LOAN PEOPLE THAT GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO OTHER PARTIES TO SEEK LOANS FOR YOU BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THESE IDIOTS GOT MY INFORMATION. I AM SORRY TO SEE THEY ARE TERRIFYING SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE BUT COMFORTED THAT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A MIX UP WASN'T SENDING ME TO JAIL!!! I HOPE THERE IS SOMEONE TRYING TO FIND AND PROSECUTE THESE PEOPLE!!!

GOT THE SAME CALL AS ERICKA WATSON FROM THE SAME GUY.  i ASKED IF HE WAS AN ATTORNEY IN CA AND HE SAID THAT HE WAS ... AT THE TIME OF THE CALL i WAS AT MY COMPUTER SO I WENT TO THE CA BAR AND GUESS WHAT, NO JEFFERY WALKER.  I ASKED FOR HI9 BAR NUMBER AND HE REFUSEDTO GIVE IT TO ME.  HE IS FULL OF CRAP AND THIS IS DEFINATELY A SCAM.

Got a call from 626-407-4265 - every time I called them, which was a bunch, they gave me a different operator name - EXACT same situation as described above.  Except they told me that I had a pending felony case (total BS because any paycheck loan amount would not result in a feloneous charge) which was being transferred to CO in the town where I lived, again FAKE becuase there isn't a courthouse in the town where I live. I asked for the case number and was given some number which isn't even consistant with the numeration methodology of court cases in LA County CA.

I am pretty savvy and am taking business law classes, so I called them back and asked for their mailing address, CA bar ID#, and the name of their senior attorney.  They gave me an address that isn't legitamite according the the USPS.gov website, they REFUSED to provide me with a Bar ID# or their senior partner's first and last name. TOTALLY BOGUS company.

I recieved a call from 98232.  When I answered the call there was SO MUCH noise I could barely hear the caller which said his name to be Mark Millard or something but he was clearly Indian. He said he was calling from the "Law Firm".  I couldn't hear so I hung up.  He called back and I let my voicemail catch it. He said he needs me or my written attorney of record to return his call asap.  He said if i don't return his call all he can do is wish me the best of luck.  So I returned his call and he said I got a payday loan from American Credit Services.  I have gotten payday loans before but I dont remember this company.  He said I am being sued for Check Fraud and for some other kind of fraud.  He asked if I wanted him to read my the case and I said yes.  He said when he starts to read me the case to not interrupt or he will have to hang up.  I found this to be weird.  Anyway...he said I got a payday loan from the internet in 2007 and I did not pay it back so now the company is suing me. He also had my banking information that he said the money was deposited into.  He said that the sherriff will come pick me up tomorrow at 11am to take me to a court hearing.  Now granted I might have a payday loan out there I have not paid, but this seems really unprofessional. So then he transferred me to his manager, who was also Indian, and his manager said he needs my attorney information. I don't knw what is going on, but it kinda scared me but reading here that other people have received the call kind of calms my worries.  I think it is a scam

Same thing happend to me from (714) 333-2951 from Jack Davidson.  He stated he works for the "Crime Monitoring Division which is a law firm".  Address he gave me is 200 S. Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805.  Same story as everyone before.  I was so freaked out they got $400 from me then another $1095 from my account!  I reported this to the local police department and am working with my bank.  I hope I can get my money back!  
These people should be stopped!  I wish I would have found this website before I was scared into giving these people money.

I received a call last night at 6pm EST, i ignored it and was left a message from PATRICK BROWN with a very thick accent (obviously that wasn't his real name). Then he transferred me to Kevin Jefferson and he had a very thick accent as well. He said there were 3 charges against me and a sheriff would come to my home and arrest me tomorrow morning. They said my balance was 1095.00 from a pay day loan.

I PAID THEM $500.00 with my debit card out of fear as they had my employer name, my address and the last 4 dig of my social.

I did some more research on this and I am disputing it with my bank. they are being very helpful

these jerks should not be able to do this to us

I received two phone calls from this company a woman with a very heavy accent. Mrs. Graham it is very noisey in the background she is threatening me saying the sherrif's department will come and get me I wish you luck do not disregard my phone call I am serious you will suffer the consequences's.
I just reported them to the FTC who ever posted that number thank you.

I recived a call from (408) 572-8402. The caller had a very thick indian accent and there was alot of background noise. She said that I or my attorney needed to call back right away to (714) 333-2950 and that if I didn't she could "could only wish you luck" with my future and that it was "on my shoulders". I returned the call and spoke to a Kevin Jefferson who also had a thick accent. He said that I was being sued with three different accounts and read me my social security number and bank account information. I never verified anything and found this site while talking to him and hung up. I'm wondering if I should change my account number...?

Forgot to add, anytime they say that there are charges filed against you, inquire as to where the charges were files and be sure to go and check that municipality for any charges. For instance, if the person says they were filed in Small Claims or District Court, make sure you know what city and state (depending) and you can go to that courthouse and ask one of the clerks if they can help you look up those records. What worries me is that these people seem to have the social security numbers (or at least part of them) for everyone they call.


And nothing I say should be taken as legal advice - the words of a paralegal do not trump the advice of a licensed attorney.

I am the paralegal in a law office and one of our bankruptcy clients is getting harrased by this man as well. I told our client to report it to the FTC as you all have recommended. I called the guy and was put on hold and eventually cut off. I identified myself as a representative of a law firm and now he is avoiding my phone call. I don't know if it would help you all if you said you called back and gave a name claiming to be your own attorney (unethical? yes. But, hey, eye for an eye!!) and we will see what happens. I am going to try to get some information from his as well as he is breaking a Federal law by harassing our client.

Just got off the phone with FTC 877-382-4357 and reported the harassing and threatning phone calls they said that this report goes into federal state and local law inforcement data bases we all need to be agressive and report this. Per FTC this most likley is a scam and needs to be reported!

has your father been able to find anything out about this so collection company.

Received a call from them stating that I was being charged with money laundering and check fraud. That I need to pay $1100.00 if I didn't there would be an officer by the name of Jeff Anderson badge #3428 coming this morning to arrest me and take me to jail. Being a single mother this scared me, I called a friend of mine that is the Assistant Chief of Police and he looked into it and said that it is nothing but a scam. Please beware of this scam, they have personal information such as SSN and banking information, I am going to the bank and have my account closed and open a different account.

I just recived the same call. The lady on the other end told me that if I did not respond that my family and she gave names would be in trouble.  All this company is a collection company.  They can not do anything to you but add the information to your credit.  I have gone thru this with several other companies from way back in the day.  They will tell you that the police will come to your house, your job and cause alot of trouble.  All I have to say to them is "GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS"

Thank Yoy Sandra I called the TLC number you provided. I have been getting threatening calls from 714-333-2950 Mr. Marsh for a $5000.00 loan that does not exist.

You can call the FTC there number is 877-382-4357

I got a call from the 714-333-2950 number at work today.  A message was left that threatened untold consequences if they did not hear from my attorney or me today.  When I called back, asking for Andrew Brown as directed in the message the exact same voice that had left the message told me to call back in 15 minutes.  I called back and through a terrible and noisy cell-phone like connection was asked to verify the last 4 digits of my social and was told several charges had been filed against me. I could not understand Mr. Brown... and was connected with a David Walker. Mr. Walker informed me that charges had been filed against me with court action scheduled for tomorrow.   When I asked what they charges were the connection became even more garbled.  I hung up saying I would have to call back another time.  Now I read that some people have been subject to repeated calls.  What can I do about this?  I do not want my workplace to have to tolerate the inconvenience of this type of call.  What are the laws related to this type of call or activity?    I am so grateful for those of you that have shared on this site.

I have had the same proble for 3 months now I called the police reported it and it stopped for about a month now he is calling again from a differnt number 7143332950 Alex Johnson he left a voicemail I called back immediatly asked for alex johnson and told him I know this is a scam and he hung up everytime I get a call it is the same guy with a thick accent but uses differnt names like charles green or Daryl this is a scam and it is best if you report it as soon as possible because it is scary that they have this personal info. On us

This same guy, Dave Walker he says from an attorney office, calls me all the time at home and now at work.  Also says he will have me picked up at home.  HA!  Caller id at work was 98232, unknown id on my home phone.  He has my social security number and the name of a friend of mine.  Says one of my creditors is suing me, but the name of the creditor is someone I've never heard of.  I asked for his mailing address, he gave me 200 S. Anaheim Blvd. Anaheim, CA  which is the City Offices for Anaheim.  His call back number is (714) 333-2950.  When I called for the address he gave me the phoney address and then hung up.  YES THIS IS A SCAM!!!!

What did you do I called the Federal Trade commission and they said they had to have enough complaints to file a law suit and shut this company down.
