I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. But these guys called my home number. Woke me up. which caught me off guard. And they wanted me to go get a green dot card and give them the numbers. If I had given them the numbers I would have been out the money no replacing it from that type of card. It even says it on the card be aware of fraud. And I've had two calls since. The latest was today while I was out. Thus why I found your this on-line. His name this time is  Jack Davison. And the number he wants me to call him back at is 347-430-5957. He said I must call him back right away or risk things going to court. Doesn't this sound so like the call I had a few months ago. I can't say I was aware of these type of Scams before then but I'm sure ware of them now and I'm getting called regularly now too. I'm not sure why either. But I had one a few days ago and just hung up on him he called back but with in a minute I hung up again..lol  he didn't call back I guess he got the hint. I'm not as gullible as I used to be and I'm not a sucker for their stuff either. I didn't give them a thing but on that first call a few months ago they had a lot of information. Where I lived and and few other things which kinda freaked me out for awhile. They also threatened me with jail if I didn't pay them the amount right then. I found out after the fact companies can't use scare tactics like that to get their money back. Plus when I kept saying please send me the information by mail because I hadn't got it they kept in saying I had it and it was no excuse making every thing my fault. No it was all a scam and I was in their little game and I felt like a little kid being bullied. and It hurt too.I will report this guy as I did the other. Take Care M

I received a call from Richard Murray from 619-292-2426 ext 177 sounded like he was from India. Threatening  me stated that I owe a payday loan company some money. Money I never received. And if I don't pay the money today that legal actions will be taken.

They called me three times in 10 minutes and when my Boss finally got the phone they threatened to have the FBI arrest her.  They told her the FBI was going to get me and arrest me for not paying a loan.  Please that is what collection agencies are for, not criminal divisions.  What a scam

I have received a call from this company but the phone number is different.  518-565-0353 is the number this person called me from.  Crime Monitoring Div about a payday loan my husband has.  This company had our information as well as my cell #.  I have reported to FBI and to FTC.  Angelina Cruz is the person who called me and she told me she had my debit card and that she would be taking the money owed.  I have closed my debit card.  I hope this helps someone else avoid the same scams that we all seem to have been targeted by.

I just recived a call I got news for them I'm. Broke busted and discussed no money from me I would not care if I owe there a,, I'm not give them anything lol

I recieved a call yesterday from American Credit Services and was told that I owed 812.00 on a pay day loan from 2008. they told me that I had to pay it by 4 pm or i would have federal check fraud charges and theft by deception chargers filed against me... After I calmed down I began to ask questions and that is when Officer Brown began to tell me my personal information ssn# bank account info so on and so on. thankfully i had closed the checking account he was refer to over 6 months ago... After I began to queston even more he being Officer Brown who said he worked for the US Legal Department transfered me to there Attorney Robin Jackson... He to told me I would be charged as I said before. they told me the only way that I could pay them was through western union and they would not give me anymore information until i called when I was at Western Union... I said that I would have to call them back and began writing down all that was said so I called my bank she told me it was a scam.. I contacted the BBB in North Carolina the Attorney Genenral the FTC and Homeland Security which all have heard of this scam but wanted the onformation for futher investigation so give a call. They now think they are hitting a satilite and that is how they change the phine numbers so quickly.. and they are pretty sire there are out of India.. Robin Jacksin did call me back lastnight to see why I had not pay and give me one last chance or God help me.. I told him I know you are a scam and that I had reported them to the agencies he told me that a group of investigators would be at door to drag me out infront of my children and he was tapping my phone lines... This is crazy i am glad to see I am not the only one I hope they get these people this is so wrong... here are the numbers they called me with
724-825-4886
817-717-7310
336-260-1544

I received the same phone calls as all of you - with a different phone number of 810-673-6353, when I call this number back the recording says it has been disconnected - yet when they leave me a message the phone number they gave me is 818-338-5053.

The guy told him his name is Jimmy McTel (that name is a charcter name in a John Wayne movie - McClintoch. He is now threatening me to have me fired from my job, get me arrested, suspend my drivers license, because I won't pay $1,095.

It is all very unnerving...what have been the results to some of your issues with this same company/law firm Crime Monitoring?

yes close your account right away. these people called me and said i took out an internet loan and frauded them. they said the police were coming to get me tomorrow. right then i knew it was a scam. i said so and they started citing off my socila security number, my home address and bank account number. i called my local police who did nothing. a few weeks later i started getting info from credit card companies, and order made on the internet with my bank account. luckily i had closed the account the day after the call first came. i am reporting them to the fbi. we should all report them.

Theexact thing is happening to me...same #'s , same story...etc...how do you notify the FBI, Attorney General, and Homeland Security. The calls are from Florida and California. Yet when you dial the # back you get a verizon message that the # is no longer in service.
Can you help me with #'s I use to reach the authorities.

I got one of these phone calls today.  They said that they were representing "National Payday Loan" and were going to have someone come to my house in the morning to pick me up to take me to the courthouse where I would be required to pay $5,000 or be prosecuted.  It went on and on and they don't like to be questioned about their practices.  I was able to look them up online while on the phone and found numerous articles about their fraudulent activities.  I also found out that you need to report them to the Department of Homeland Security/Secret Service who is investigating this.  This company, Crime Montoring Division, is out of India and is a big scam.  To report this problem, call the Secret Service at 989-497-0580.  A very nice agent, Agent Gibson, took my information and they are investigating this problem.  Good luck and don't give these crooks any of your information or money!!

I received a call from an woman named Jessica who sounded like she was India decent as well as her "manager" named Christopher Alexander also strong accent. She first came on the line and advised me that I was being sued for a payday loan I got for 300.00 back in May of 2008. I disputed...of course. Then I was put on the line with Christopher Aleander (fake name for sure), he was very rude telling me in in big trouble and someone will be arriving at my office or my home to take me a way to court and/or serve me papers.There was lots of loud noise in the background and his attitude and tone was so threating on my defense I cursed him out. He yelled more asking me not to use profanity, and proceded to tell me that he's trying to help me and to have my attorney call him that day. I hung up and called back later to get more info, he then told me my birthday, my address, some of my friends names, my work and home numbers and my work address. He said that his company has come to my office before to pick up people and the WILL come for me. I hung up on him again and called my attorney who advised me that it was total crap and a major scam. This made me want to find out more about the company in order to report them. After calling the number back once more, I was told the name of the company was CRIME MONITORING DIVISION, the name of the company that I got my "supposed" loan from was NATIONAL PAYDAY LOAN,and I had the option to go to court tomorrow and end up going to jail or paying $5,457 including intress and court fees, or I could settel with the creditors for 600.00 today.

This was a total mess, if scared me, and it angered me. Now my main concern is to report them on as many sites as possible so others are not scammed into this. I am also very concerned as to how these people have ALOT of my personal information and can call me and use my info against me.

Did you report them to the AG's office, got the same call several times yesterday, I kept the guy on the phone for 40 minutes hoping to burn off some of his minutes.

i just received a call from these people. i do have payday loans but i dont owe anything. where the hell did these people received my information from.  it is a scary thing..they have my ss# and all of my references name..telling me that i will be arrested.  this thing is stressful.  i dont owe any payday loans. something needs to be done to this company, he doesnt want to give me the address or the name of who ever i owe.  i am just mad that they have my ss# number and all of my persoanl information. the guy is rude and out of control i told his heavy accent a** not to call my job or cell phone ever again.  he's telling me that he is going to call back every half an hour and that my attorney need to call him...please screw yourself.  we all need to do something about this it is very scary especially all of your information bein exposed like that.  who knows we probably have bank accounts all over this world...i hate this s***..dam world..you dont know who to trust..everyone trying to scam you...

Thanks for posting this information.  My sister is receiving calls from this outfit at work.  Funny thing is she really owes money to one of the payday loan companies.  Normally she would be fine with a debt collector calling her but in this case the indian accented man told her "god bless you and your mother (and he said our mother's name)...and this freaked her out.  I hope this site keeps going.  It's helped me out a number of times.

I received the same calls everyone described.  Got scared the first time and mistakenly confirmed my info.  Did some research and checked my file and realized the outfit is bogus.  They called me again today and I told them never to call me again and the next time they called they would be answered by the police.  I also told them I reported them to 20/20.  I know to actually file this with the FBI, etc.  But is there anyone else we can expose this fraud ring to so that we can ensure this outfit is closed down and does not continue to harass people?  I think I will forward this information to the local news stations.

I did call him back, asked him why I hadn't been arrested, again he said "tomorrow", "tomorrow". I told him that the police in my city do not work on Saturdays, also told them I had call our local police dept. and filed a complaint, also file complaint with FBI. I told him I had recorded all our conversations and turned them over the the FBI and since it was illegal for them to tell anyone they would be arrested, that the FBI was very glad to have the taped conversations where he had repeatedly told me that.  He said "I will make sure you are never called again!"  I did file reports with every one I could think of, but of course I do not have the conversations recoreded.

Received the same call as everyone else is describing.  I did call him back and spoke with "Jeff March", heavy Indian Accent, spoke almost as if he was deaf and trying to speak english, hard to explain.  Told me that I would be arrested at 11 am the next morning.  I asked him who was going to arrest me, I also explained that in the USA is was not illegal to owe someone money.  He stated that since I took the money and "ran with it" that the case would be downloaded that very day and I would suffer the consequences!  I laughed and told him that if he was going to try to speak English, he should at least use the proper words and I gave him the definition of "download".  He told me I should have my two friends that he called by name at my home so they could also be arrested.  

Well, guess what?  11 am came and went and I was not arrested.  I called him at noon and asked him what happened, I told him that we had been waiting on them to come and arrest us and no one showed up?  He said tomorrow, I told you tomorrow.  I said ok, we will wait, but my friends had to get babysitters and I had to take off work to wait for them so I sure hope they show up.  He hung up on me. I will call him back today, and let you know.

I just received the same kind of message from a men with a very strong accent, he nevered mentioned where he was calling from and why, just that I needed to call him regarding a urgent matter and I would be in trouble if I don't he also said that he feels sorry for me.  You know this is truly a fraud and these people are true con artist, You hear all kinds of noise in the background, and also, you can't get a direct answer out of these people, let in go, He also said either I or my attorney need to contact them. My attorney said its a waste of time, because if you threating to have your attorney call them. Its busy or they have moved on to another number to continue to harass people.  Tell them next time they call they you are taping their call, and you would seek a investgator to get information on them, and please don't call you at home or work. And you demand a debt validation letter from them for this debt they said you owe, and tell them you demand and address to send them a debt validation letter if they won't send you one.  Either way you won't get either. They are illegal and they won't give or tell you anything. Bottom line, when you tell people like this not to call you at all, and you start throwing around your rights as a consumer under the law they will stop calling you. But the downside is they will start again in another 30-60 days with a new number and another person.  Just keep telling them the same thing whats your address, and I want information in writing within 30 days of this telephone conversation. Mostly, file a complaint with the FTC. It matters.

I received a call from a 941-961-8518 today, they left me a message to call back the 714 number. The 714 number rang busy first so I hung up and called the 941 number, which went to an automated message that said it was a Verizon number no longer in service.  So I tried the 714 number again, and it rang and rang till a man finally picked up. Each person I spoke with had a thick accent, was difficult to understand and rude and condescending. Basically they said they were representing American Credit Services and that I owed a huge some of money on a payday loan I took out in 2007, which is not true, and that they were going to take me to the courthouse at 11:00 AM tomorrow and that I would have to pay the fine then. They said I had three charges against me for not paying the debt and asked if I had memory loss because I repeatedly said what they were accusing me of was not accurate. They had all my personal information, bank account, ss#, home address, and my brothers names.  I put the woman they transferred to on hold and used another phone to call my bank and verify that I did not receive a payday loan on the day they said I did in 2007.  I told the woman on the phone this and she said they were going to sue the person at the bank that gave them bad information.  I told her if they were sending people to my house tomorrow that I would have a police officer here.  She told me to go ahead and do that and hung up on me.  I then called the local police and filed a report, they directed me to all the info about this scam on the internet.  This was an awful experience and these people are frauds. If they call you report it to local law enforcement, attorney general, FBI, etc.  Don't give them any money and be careful of your bank account, I'm closing mine first thing tomorrow!

they called me at work and said i would go to jail if i didn't pay 1595.00 today.i never paid it, and now i am worried they'll get my money out of my account,i faxed this inf to my bank.

The address they have provided is totally bogus, for it belongs to the City of Anaheim, CA:

City of Anaheim Public Information Office
City Hall East
7th Floor
200 South Anaheim Boulevard

This outfit is (more than likely) associated with the following (from ec's post http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-904-425-9141):

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.  The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal consumers' money.

Here are a few news reports and government advisories warning consumers about this scam:

ABC News:  http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1
West Virginia Attorney General:  http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
WTAE TV4, Pittsburgh:  http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/call4action/17285785/detail.html
Florida Commissioner of Consumer Services:  http://www.800helpfla.com/newsletter/2008/092008.html

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 gobbylgook 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, Christian Nicholas & Associates, US Federal Bank, Sonic Bank, Hopkins Law Office, CashNet, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, 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.)

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:

US National Bank Scammers Still Extorting Hapless Consumers

"US National Bank" is still at it, calling up people and threatening them with jail time unless they pay up for debts they never took out and USNB doesn't own.

http://consumerist.com/5086468/us-national-ba ... pless-consumers

How does the FBI know it is a scam? How did they get our information? What are they going to do about it to shut this operation down?  I called the Sheriffs Dept. and they called Jason Smith at that number for me and informed him not to call me anymore.  I missed 1/2 day of work just to meet with the local authorities about these people.  The Sheriffs Dept. stated that they will do an investigation and may present it to the DA's office. Please keep us updated if you learn of any new information.  THANKS!

The man was very rude with an accent.  Telling me to call back or have my attorney call them on this matter. What matter? and he wishes me the best of luck.  This was the message he left

They just called my office again but I told them, I already reported you once and will do it again.  The lady hung and unlike yesterday when they repeatedly called back, nothing.....

Now they are calling from a blocked phone number

Please contact your local FBI office and they will take it from there. I reported it to my local FBI office and the did tell me that it is a scam. Please, whatever you do, REPORT IT and DO NOT CONFIRM ANY OF THE INFORMATION EVEN IF IT IS CORRECT. Also contact the social security administration and let your bank know what's going on. I'm about to call my local FBI office again because these fools called me again and let a message telling me that they're not playing with me this time and that I better call them at my earliest convenience or me and my family will regret it. I'll keep you posted.

I received a phone call today at 1:43 pm at my office from a Jason Smith.  I tried calling back and could not understand the person on the other line due to a foreign accent and a lot of background noise.  I asked for identification of the agency/company and they would not identify themselves.  I tried calling later and spoke with a woman who said that she did not have any information on me. I thought maybe be it was a telemarketer.  I looked up this number and found this site.  About a month ago I received a letter in the mail stating that there was an investigation being done as my identity/personal information was taken.  I thought it was someone wanting me to purchase something.  Perhaps there is a relationship.  Also my computer opened up to my email on its own the other day and my mother and sister told me that they received old mail from me that was sent around Christmas time.  Perhaps I have a hacker.  Anyways I am calling the local Sheriff in the a.m. I will also call my bank.  I have had people call my house before asking for my bank account numbers etc. This is very scary to me.

Yes please do not give in to these people, somehow they already had my bank account information and were trying to get me to make a payment for a payday loan I never took out.  I alerted my bank immediately and they put up a fraud alert.  Do not belive these people!

I just received another call from these people threatening me saying I will be escorted to the court house tomorrow for my case to be heard in front of a judge. They have fraudulently taken about $1400.00 out of my bank account. I have spoken with my bank and they have filed a fraud report and are recouping my funds. Please let me know the best way to go about reporting these people. I want to press charges if I can but I am not sure if that is possible.
