both companies state that they are law enforcement. they threaten to take you to jail, threat to credit and job...None of this is true...Protect yourself...dont pay bills in money grams or western union...you cannot get the funds back... if you want reassurance pay with a prepaid card, and not your own bank account.

"Officer Robin Garcia, from the department of federal crimes and investigation, left me a voicemail stating that it was an extremely time sensitive and urgent matter and that I should call him back immediately to avoid legal consequences."

I immediately knew that this was some kind of scam and laughed about it.  The guy had a vry thick arabic accent but was attempting to sound southern.  (It was hilarious!!)  I have received calls in the past of this nature and once I state that I will or have reported them to the FTC, they stop calling for a while. I just wish there was some kind of way to remove my number from these fake companies all together!

He has also called My company looking for employee (s) I had  put the tel # into the internet first and came up with several calls complaining about the same thing. I returned his call and told him not to call here again or  I would call the local police he did not like that. He told me I was rude and hung up.
num he was calling from 786-275-5289 Robin Garcia from Metro Police very urgent call for one of my employees

I just received a call from Robin Garcia also claiming I owed a loan but he could not verifiy what company saying over 59 companies were all grouped together to have him collect He has called 5 times now in the last 10 min. telling me he will E-mail me the paperwork of the amount I owed the call came from 786-275-5289 he even call ed my Fiance at work. I told him I will report him if he calls again then he hung up

This man Robin Garcia has been calling my cell phone and work number on and off for the past year, just recently he got a hold of a HR administrator who contacted me and said I have to report this or if he keeps calling it can make me look bad, I work for a large company and worried this may somehow get me terminated. I am almost ready to change my cell # but he would still have my work #. I have been hoping he would stop calling. He says he is with the Metro Dade Precint and that he is a restitution officer, claims i did not pay a loan back and he is going to have to notify my employer, he doesnt let you ask the "important" questions and says he cant provide written proof by mail. I did tell him not to contact my employer again and he hung up on me mid conversation. He also told me I better get a Lawyer. I am going to get proactive on this now and report this to anyone who will listen and hope to stop these people! Thank you for the info I have found on this web page to get me started.

This is an offshore payday loan debt collection extortion scam that has been going on for at least five years. The FBI is aware of it but is unable to go after those involved due to lack of money and manpower. I looked back and found some old information which may prove to be helpful:

They obtained your information through Teletrack:

I received the same phone call, except from the phone number: 786-275-5289. When I asked for written proof of this "default on a loan", he said that I can get the information from my local police agency and then hung up on me. He also gave me a case number. He tried to talk over me anytime I would ask a question.

received a message from them today saying i owe a payday company a loan i took out in 2009, i have used online payday companies in the past, but i am ina ch.13 bankruptcy and i know i didn't take out any loans in dece...i was scammed a week earlier from a similar company, now i am trying to recover the 100.00 i lost..so please dont give them any info

Received threatening calls from Officer Robin Garcia from somewhere in New York.  He is using 646-918-8244.  He has my social and my bank information.  Threatening to have me arrested.  He has contacted my mother and ex-husband.

I received this phone call today 9-13-2010 @ 1:37 p.m. from this man named Robin Garcia who claimed he was with the Federal Crime Investigations and said I had been reported for Bank Fraud on a loan that I took out and told me my file number and case number and then told me to write this number down because the caller came up on my Caller ID as an unknown caller , so I wrote the number down the number is 863-949-0903. But when asked who this loan company was he said he couldn't give the name or phone number out due to them not wanting to talk to me that's why he was handed over the case. He said I owed $521.00 and wanted to know how it was going to be resolved and if it wasn't then I was going to be arrested. Mr. Garcia asked if I had ever been arrested for fraud before and I told him no he then said I'm sure you would like to keep it that way too wouldhn't you? I told him yes I would but how do you expect me to pay when I don't know who the loan company is that your requesting payment for , he then said it was with Fast Cash International. That told me right there that this wasn't a legit call it was a scam because I knew I didn't have a loan with this company at all. I then got on line and decided to look up scams and that's when I found this website and thought I would report it to let other's know of this scam and Robin Garcia.

This Robin Garcia - inpersonating a federal agent with the US Federal Government with badge #1772 is such a scammer!  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

When people here that it's a 'federal agent' they panic thinking that what he's telling them is true.  PLEASE don't fall for crap like this.  

Contact you're states attorney general and report them immediately.  People like this need to quit preying on us.

GREAT! I just attempted to sign up with this EliteWire as part of promo for a different program and now I hear THIS!

Well, atleast I know what to expect when these scammers call.

I may be contacting you Hendricks.

Yesterday I received a voice mail on my cell phone from someone but could barely make out the message.  Today they called again and left another message, so I returned the call.  They identified themselves as a federal agent, working with the "Federal Crime Investigation Bureau" and gave the name of Brian WIlliams when I asked too many questions that "Officer WIlliams" couldn't answer he then passed me off to the "lead Investigating Officer" who used the name Robin Garcia and a badge# 3320. He explained to me that he was calling as a courtesy call trying to clear the matter up prior to my having to go to prison for two years for failure to repay a online payday loan from a company by the name of "Elite Cash WIre" in the amount of $1500.00. (He even was mispronouncing the Elite as to be ELIGHT)  I assured him that I had never received a payday loan online or elsewhere.  He became angry and said that it was my call but two things could happen today, I could clear it up by paying the outstanding loan plus collection fees or go to jail when the notified officer showed up to take me to jail, apparently this matter had already gone before a judge and I was sentenced however they were trying to give me the opportunity to avoid the jail time by paying it.  Well first I inquired as to when did the FBI start handling collection accounts for a fee?  I then asked for where I could verify his badge, he became very mad.  Also, since this had already gone before a judge as he has said, then surely they had to produce proof my my having received the funds and could they forward me a copy of the proof.  He became VERY angry, cussing and hollering and told me to go ahead and pack my bags if I wanted to be stupid and go to jail over it he was just tryign to help. YEA RIGHT!!!! The number they called from was (469) 228-2416, which I referenced as being a land line in MayPearl, TX South of Dallas.  Thankfully I was too smart to fall for this, however what upset me is that if my lil mom had received the same call, she would have panic and gave them what they wanted.  I wish there was something we could do to track them and make them pay, after all even impersonating a federal officer IS a federal crime last time I checked!  Well hopefully this will in some way help expose them and at least keep someone else from being taking advantage of.  Any questions and or comments or info, you can reach me at rhendricks620@gmail.com.  I would LOVE to be able to play a part in catching these worthless individuals!

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.

I received a call from American Law Division from a Nash Brown and a Kelly Jones with a 714 area code too just yesterday. He said there was a lawsuit against me because of an unpaid loan I've taken from a cash advance online in which I never even did.  He keeps calling me at work and at home.  I don't answer the phone when they call now.

Just got the same type call, from a Kelly Jones.  I didn't take the call she just said I had to call this number in the next few hours or the police would contact me.

I received a call on my cell phone today from this number.  The woman said her name is Kelly Jones calling from American Law Division & that I owe $6000 to a company for a payday loan I took out in Feb.  I hung up the phone on her because about a month ago a guy calling himself Nash Brown tried telling me the same thing.  I checked online & found out these people are scam artists.  Do not give them any information.

I received a call from American Law Division they called themselves, said they were hired by a company due to a unpaid bill from Elite Cash Wire, which I never heard of, they knew my email address and the bank I used.  They were persistant about me owing this debt. If you hear from this number do not give them any information.  They are listed on the Rip Off Web Site.
