I received a call from somebody who could barely speak English regarding a payday loan they said I had gotten online which I have never done. Said I would be receiving papers and would be subpoened by my local police station. I went around with them....thought it might be a scam. I saved their message. I actually called them back to find out what they were talking about. Sick of scammers!

I received a couple of messages today from this number and a different number with the same thing. Stating that I am being sued and told me to go to the police station and get my subpoena, I told him I was out front of my local police department and he hung up on me. He stated it was for a cash advance loan that was done on the Internet. I still have the messages saved on my phone. I am going to turn it over to a detective and have them go from there. Hopefully they can get these people or person.

I would like to meet this SOB face to face

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

received a called yesterday from a John Douglas with Larry Hedge Parker Law Firm stating that my file was sent to the local police dept requesting my arrest for criminal activities in the matter of  Cash Advance Loan. This is a SCAM and the Attorney General should investigate. Don't fall for this. SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!.

t got a call from this number and they left me a message. It was some indian guy saying he represents a law firm Larry H. Parker and the call showed a California listing. I looked up Larry H Parker in CA and this atty represents accident victims. I did a reverse search on the number and it was a VOIP cell number. He said my file was being sent to local police dept for criminal activities and that I owed over 500. I did call back again and I told this John Douglas and told him I am recording this call and I know this is a scam. He said thank you and hung up,

This is a scam, they called me to let me know they turned my file to the local police department and that I have to go. When I called them back to confront them they said they are a law firm, when I asked what kind of law firm they hung up the phone.
