I was called on this number. I was going to ask them more in detailed to resolve the problem, but he was rude with thick middle eastern accent and hung up before I could says more. How mean ! I don't have to be  in court.

If # is legit. It should come up as an actual law office, which they are not.  Lots of time they call many time a day, sometime restricted number, and it show up a landline, when I do the search on the number. And sound in background but no message in the voicemail.. geez, they need to leave me alone. Too much drama

the person said that this call was being record and that had taken out a loan total amount is 725.00 and it ned to br paid today  i need to fax my drivers lic. # and to this number 818-9371974 fax

received another call from the above number. if you receive a call from this number report same, I did with the authority.  they are investigating same as we speak.  just reporrt same to your authority.  they have received several complaints about this number.

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.

I just received a phone call at work, by a man with a thick middle eastern accent, wanting to verify my social security number, which i did not do, i was at work and very busy,,, he asked me to take his number and make sure and call him back. I googled the phone # and this is what i found. He told me his name was Jack Wilson, and i asked what law firm he was with,,, he told me visa cash law firm. I have not and will not  call him back now!!

thanks for this information!

i have been on the phone with these people all day yelling at them, they told me i had to be in court on the 9th for fraud or some crap this is so b***s***! dont believe them

I was called by a rude man with a middle eastern telling me they are from a payday loan collection agency. They said I had to pay them by today at 5pm no later than that or they are taking legal action. I would have to appear in court on Monday morning. I said there is no court offices open on monday cause of the 4th of July holiday. I asked to speak to lawyer and he said no cause he won't listen to my side of the story and wouldnt give me any information about the company supposely i own money too. I asked if I can a documention about the company and how I'm paying before my bank could release any funds. The guy said something about my employer and that its on my credit report. Bad news is I dont work anymore. I told thats not what I asked for and he hung up and I tried calling back but no answer.

Yes my husband and I both talked to these guys!! With their very English names and middle eastern accents. When my husband talked to them they were rude woulnt let him talk and well for me they just hung up on me after we exchanged a few words. Trying to say they sent an e-mail to us summoning us ok talk about bs that doesnt fly you cant e-mail a summons

I also got a call from this number, it is a collection agency for a pay day loan company.  I am filing bankrupcy and they are trying to intimidate me into paying before my case goes to court tomorrow!  To bad for them!

I also got a call from someone with a thick Middle Eastern accent.  This is most likely a scam.  My friend got a similar call last week.

Someone with a thick middleeastern accent called and said that I was being summoned to court. He asked me to confirm my social securtiy number.. He called me at work!
