                              HELP CATCH THESE THUGS
                                            DD

I also have been getting calls from this number and many others stating I am being sued for fraud, several company names have been used as well as the names of the people calling.  All of them have Indian accents and basically try to get me to verify my info.  I came accross this article done by ABC news called Fake Debt Collectors Terrify ConsumersAlleged Debt Scam Calls Threaten Consumers: 'Only God Can Help You Now'
Please google it and read.  It says alot of the same things I am reading here and seems to stem from Payday loans.  I did not start receiving calls until I unsubscribed to receiving emails from these sights.  I did get a loan about 3-4 years ago and paid it back.  More recently I inquired about info but did not get a loan.  I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, federal trade commissison.  Problem is that the company names change and the names of the people calling.  The phone numbers are not good and it appears as thought there is not enough info to get anyone with.........

These people have been harassing us for a while; it's always someone who doesn't speak English well, can't understand him, sounds like from India. Very threatening,says he is with United Financial legal dept. and they have a claim against me.We are fed up wth these calls; how can they be stopped? This is very frightening!

THESE ALL ARE SCAMS & THEY ARE CALLING FRM INDIA. THE LADY OFFICIER NAME ANNA WATSON CALLS ME AGAIN AND AGAIN ON MY WORK AS WELL AS ON MY HOME. I WILL COMPLAIN IT TO THE FBI REGARDING THIS AND BLOCK THIS NO WITHIN A DAYS.CATCH THESE FRAUD THIS FEMALE FROM INDIA.B'COZ SHE IRRITATES ME EVERYTIME. I M TIRED NOW..
HELP ME OUT FROM THEM

GOT THE SAME CALL ABOUT 100 TIMES, I JUST KEEP CURSING THEM OUT. THEY KEEP LEAVING MESSAGE HOW DO I REPORT THEM WHAT NUMBER DO I CALL

I too have been receiving several calls on my cell phone as well. I have just been ignoring them. Now they are calling my work. My supervisor spoke with them friday, and asked to fax over any proof of anything that I had a law suit filed against me,etc. I am not sure how to stop these calls. I have been very careful of my use on the internet. It concerns me how they find out certain information about you. They called back again yesterday to my cell and work again under another number and name.

All this is a scam... I told them I was reporting them to agencies they had never heard of before HAHA I told them that they could bring their cops and come get me cause I would make damn sure my police were here as well... I got really mad and screamed at the woman that called me... I told her they were all trying to scam people and that I would not fall victim to their scam.... TOTAL HARASSMENT! They even called my job! I am so tired of this crap... it has been going on since May and the last call came in today... I am changing my number... that's the only way to get them off your back.

I also got a message from these people and it has been happening off and on for months now.  It is the 718-766-5556 number as well.  Same stuff, he is an officer, my SSN and address have been locked down or something?  I tried to call back and it says the mailbox is full and can not accept messages.  I have tried talking to them in the past and they were very rude and I just hung up on them.  Any ideas how to stop this at all????  I am so tired of this.

An Anna Watson called saying she was from Uninted Financial Crime Department asking to speak to an employee of our company. We have been recieving calls from this number and similar ones for the past few months. We check out every incoming call and soon realized that this was a scam. The people are very rude and threatened to send the police to our office within the hour if we did not put them through to the party they were asking for.. Needless to say the police never showed up. DO NOT let these people intimidate you. They are after your money and personal information.

just got a call from 71876655556 saying that they was officer McMilen about a legal action and that they needed to talk to my husband they been calling us saying we got a loan from a cash advance place thing is we in georgia and there are no cash advances here ga residents are not alowed to do cash advances

THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SCAM YOU GIVE THEM NO INFO WHAT SO EVER .

F***'''EM

These people are Romanian scam artists. They are caller id spoofing using VOIP software phones. They are not located in the US. Report them to authorities. The more complaints, the more action. Skip trace all calls from these people so we can find out what VOIP gateway they are using and trap them at the source.

Received one call from 718-766-5556 caller id indicates name of company "Delta Three Inc."  person on phone stated he was a officer calling in reference to legal action that would be taken against me in my name and with my social security number.  Have received several of these calls from several different phone numbers and from people claiming to be police officers, lawyers etc.  These calls are all SCAMS if they call you.  Don't fall for any of this mess they are telling you.  Tell them you are reporting them to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission).

I received a phone message from a woman identifying herself as Officer Anna Watson stating that a lawsuit has been filed against my social security number and address. I call her back and a guy answered.  I was placed on hold for several minutes, so I hung up and called back. This time Officer Watson answered; I asked what this is in reference to. She said a lawsuit has been filed against me and gave me the case # and the company was Arrowhead for an internet loan I received for $675.00 that was deposited in my bank account in March 2010. Of course none of this is true. She then gave me the option to settle now or go to court. When I said "I chose to go to court", there was a brief silence then she said how much it will cost me to go to trial. I then said I'm a legal assistant(I really am) and that she should send me a subpoena (I am now very angry). She started to raise her voice and talking over me when I advised her that she has no jurisdiction over me. I told her I know it is a SCAM, she needed to remove my phone number from her NETWORK, and I will report this to the FBI and FTC; she then disconnected the call. For the past three months, I have been receiving threatening voice messages from different foreign people naming different company they are from and of course using different phone numbers. The message is always about a lawsuit or money I owe to some cash advance/payday loan company. I am then instructed to have my "retained attorney" contact a certain phone number. When my attorney call the number and try to get information about the situation, the person is reluctant to say what they know and will actually ask for other personal  about me. My attorney will say it's a SCAM and the next day someone with the same sounding voice using a different name and phone number will call saying the same rubbish. That's why I refer to this as a NETWORK. There must be something we as victims can do to stop this. Any suggestions?

Officer Jenny White: This is a crime against your name and social security call me back. I maybe able to help you out of this mess. My number is 718-766-5556

Got a call from 718*766*5556. His name was Mark Smith.
He had such a heavy indian/arabic accent, that I was surprised he was able to finish his 'script' without any "hiccups".  Those people that call you are a SCAM. I was able to talk to the FTC rep and he told me to NOT GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFO, also do not pick up those call -- let them record their messages on your voice mail and with that go to your local police station. Also, contact your attorneys general office and let them know that those scumbags are trying to extort money from you. They (FTC, Att'y. Gen.) will tell you what else needs to be done.
I get 3, sometimes 4 phone calls per day.  Every phone call I get, I save the message, and also I submit a report to the FTC. You can file a complain with them (FTC) following this link: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov   or their main link is  www.ftc.gov  .
I've noticed that everytime I file a complain and list the number that those crooks leave for me to call back, the next time they call me is from a TOTALLY different phone number.  For example, first they would leave me to call back this number --> 919*424*5888 (he said his name was John Smith)  and now its this --- > 718*766*5556 (this time his name is Mark Smith).  Both times the message said that there is a hold/or will be a hold to my SS#, that I am in big trouble w/Criminal Investigation Bureau, and that I or my attorney needs to call them back or else....  They are a bunch of  f @ # k s that need to learn the law!!!  Whatever you do, do not give them any personal info.  And, REPORT them.
One more thing. Just for kicks, I bought a phone card and called them back, once, making up a total bogus name. I said I was returning the phone call ( I pretended I was really worried and very scared) and THEY proceeded to tell me that I owe $7,000 but if I wanted to settle right there and then over the phone w/credit card, they will take $600.  LOL!!!  They ARE IDIOTS!!!  Right there it shows you that they are a SCAM!!!   I think I will call them again, today!  All of you should try this, and see how long this will go on for.

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

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.

This is a SCAM!!! Do not provide them any details and tell them to send you to court, they need to serve you first before anything can happen, so when that day never comes your suspicions will be confirmed.

I got duped outta $200 from them before I got wise, then the story changed, they told me 180 days to provide backup documentation from the original creditor to prove they in fact held the debt they were trying to collect for. 180 days has come and gone and nothing, never heard back from them again.

Cost me $200 but I guess thats the price I pay for not checking into it first....

I got a couple of calls saying i was being sued for a loan that i never received.

I received a call from 718-766-5556 from a officer Marsh calling in reference to a legal action that has been taken against my name, Social Security and my home, a very time sensive matter that if I don't take care of it, that legal actions will be taken against me. That she keeps getting voice mail and I better call her back.

what is this

who are these people, says arrowhead something
