Received call today from a Jake Mcmullian-a very foreign guy-India maybe, telling me that I co-signed on a loan and cash advance that I owe money and if I don't pay I will be sued!!! I could barely understand this jerk, I told him b***s***, I never co-sign on loans, he got real s****y on the phone, I told him to prove it that I signed anything. I ended up hanging up on the abusive bully...Then he called my mother 3 times harrassing her stating that he has filed a lawsuit on her for supposedly my adult brothers bills??? Well he was told to prove it, my step dad told him he would call the police if this jerk called back..

Receive calls on my cell phone for a Jackie Holland (no clue who this is). When I called to tell them to stop bugging me (costs me money) there is a message "all circuits are busy now." Message threatens legal action of some sort if this person does not contact a lawyer (?). Voice has an unintelligible accent but hints at being a government agency.

I also have received these calls. One identified himself by being Ryan Miller and he had the audacity to call me at work. I asked him what was he suing me for. He said he dind't have to tell me. I laughed! I asked why is he calling me? If he;s a law enforce he should be notifying me of this via letter. He said he sent it out to my e-mail address. Found nothing... Then I spoke with some John Brown and was asked whether I would consent to the fact that I took a cash advance. I asked him what's the name of the company. He responded" have your attorney callme"....LMAO ,wow! How can you be sued when you don't know who's suing and the entity that is suing you doesn't what tell you who they are?
| keniska thompson 2010-07-20 22:08:58 Unknown |
A John Brown called my place of employment stating he was calling from a law firm and he left a message with a co-worker. I work in a call center so he just called our regular business number. A real company would not have left message by the way of just anyone answering the phone considering we are on an inbound call center.
| Robin 2010-07-19 21:11:11 Debt Collector |
OMG they are the most rude people ever. They called me, my sister and my young daughter. They were offended when I asked for information on the company to verify they were legitimate. Screaming and yelling. They called my daughter an F-ing Ni_ _ er and told her she would go to jail and she would die in jail. When I called and asked why he said those things to her, his response was "Because she is one" Told her to go back to her own country. They would not provide me with an address or a copy of any documents to prove I owed the money. Don't fall for this, Turn the tables on them and talk fast. They cant keep up. LOL

http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
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:

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden ? Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
? Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
? Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
? File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
? File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.
