Oh ya he said his name was Tyler smith from kilvilighan law

I received a email claiming they were from kilvilighan law saying I have 3 major charges against me because I owe 780$ I have never received a payday loan!!!what a joke

I got an email from these people today saying that they are going to go after me for a payday loan that i took out and never paid back. i never took out a loan, but i was also scammed by another place saying the same thing. when i ask for proof of this, they refuse. its a scam

You can forward the email to the FBI at their Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

I have had the same problems.  People calling my work and sending me emails about an internet loan.  I work with police, fire and EMS so I made a few calls to law enforcement and found out that it is a scam.  They even threatened to have a bench warrant issued for me to take me to California from the Midwest.  I told them to come get me.........free transportation to California, a guaranteed roof over my head and 3 meals a day.  Who could ask for more..............so have not heard from them in a while then this email from Kivilighan Law Associates.   Can't people find a decent job anymore then trying to scam people.  By the way they asked for my debit or credit card nimber and was willing to clear the matter up for $500.00-$600.00 dollars.  NO WAY IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call from this number too. She said her name was Jacklyn Jones.. I don't even remember who she said she was with. Something about internet fraud case. I kept calling her back until they finally just make it go straight to voice mail. Does anyone know another number for them I would love to keep calling them.

Call from a guy who said he was an fbi agent investigating a lawsuit complaint against me. Foreign accent said his name was detective Edwards.
Anyone have an idea who this is?

I have also recieved calls from these people. She claims to be a Officer of the United Legal Investigation (Beauru/department)its always ddifferent each time she says it. These peple claimed they were filing charges against me for fraud on a payday loan default. They couldnt give me any general information about what i was being charged with. Just that i could stop the charges by paying them via Western Union. She transferred me to a supposed Litigator named Robin Jackson. (Indian Accented) After arguing with him I got info that his supposed BAR Liscence is from New York #KS147. (False) They claim that the company is ACS. DONT NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE MONEY, INFORMATION, OR POWER OVER YOU BY SCARING YOU. They feed off your fear and your stolen personal information. They are scam artist. Immediately do the following:
1. Put a fraud alert out on your credit and personal accounts.
2. File a Police report with your local department.
3. File a complaint with the FTC. (Consumer Protection)
4. File a complaint with the FBI.
5. File a complaint with your States Attorney Generals office.
6. Make sure you recieve copies of these complaints.
7. Turn the copies of the complaints into your Employer's (Proof)
8. Always consult with an attorney before making ANY/ALL legal decision.
9. Most Attorneys will listen to your situation for free and tell you whether it is real or B.S.
10. Remeber that these people operate on scaring you. If you feel you cant speak to them then just end the conversation and hung up the phone.
The Numbers they use to contact me are 724-825-4886.
They call out from 810-677-7471. (Not U.S. number)

File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and your states Attorney General. Then jerks called my phone today, and I told him I have filed complaints with the above agencies and he hung up on me. These people are theives! Good luck to you.

I have been receiving phone calls from this group since late April / early May of 2010.  There is a good chance that they also attempted to contact me roughly two years ago before I entered into Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection, as I faintly remember hearing the same script more or less.

As others have stated, the callers are difficult to understand.  Generally speaking their command of the English language is quite poor and their accents are hard to follow. At times they will get certain words or phrases mixed up.  It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that they had:

a) Your SSN
b) Your home address
c) Your work address
d) Your banking info
e) Names, numbers and potentially the addresses of "references"
f) A complete and total lack of ethics and a basic understanding of the FDCPA.  

I have personally filed reports with the following agencies, often with limited (if any) success:

Local Police
my state's Attorney General's office
FTC
FBI
Secret Service

Generally the local police won't be able to help much.  The callers are using a combination of prepaid cell phones and VoIP, making them difficult to trace.  Also at their disposal are various spoofing tactics being implemented to catch people off guard - meaning the number that appears on your Caller ID isn't the number that is calling you for starters.  Without gaining a subpoena for the billing information for the numbers in question, the local police won't be able to get very far.  

My state's Attorney General's office couldn't offer much assistance either.  I received a form letter in the mail that my complaint was received and I would be contacted if they needed additional info.  It was more or less the same information I obtained from the FTC.  They each advised me not to give the individuals over the phone any account information or to authorize payment.  That's just common sense, though.

I never got anything from the FBI, either.  There is a good chance that since I haven't suffered a monetary loss that my concerns are low on the totem pole.  I hate to say this, but that is truly the case. Unless you were in the hole for a $1,000 (or more) you aren't going to get much more than "sorry to hear about your situation, change your phone number and move on".  I seemed to get some activity from the Secret Service.  I spoke with agent Doug Zloto. (Google him, referencing threads like these plus his name and you'll find his number also)  He seemed to care a bit more than the average person, but after giving him access to my Google Voice account, there has been no further activity from him that I'm aware of.

In the meantime I changed the wireless number the fraudsters had access to, they have no direct way to get a hold of me.  (Calls at work have ceased for some reason)  That in turn resulted in my "references" getting phone calls from the crooks.  Here is a word of caution for women that have been getting these calls - don't say anything and just hang up.  The callers are quite abusive towards women callers.  Why?  Possibly the culture.  If they are Indian / Pakistani, women are second class citizens there.  You will be treated like garbage.  This happened to a family member when she was trying her best to be extremely nice over the phone.  

The callers currently attempt to reach me through the female family member and an unused Google Voice number that they managed to find of mine.  I keep the Google Voice number open because, well, I can't delete it yet.  So, about every day, 4-5 times a day for the last week, I get voice messages from them.  It's usually just two full messages though - the other calls are broken up with static or they are attempts to read the script until the callers then screw up.  Really, they are that adamant on getting the script 100% that they will hang up mid-sentence and call back 30 seconds later.  

At this point it's a stalemate with these people.  

1) While they have the lion's share of information on us, they can't really do anything with this information.  

Why?  Think about it.

If they were to ever take funds out of your account without authorization, it's fraud and worse (for them) it is traceable.  That's why they won't do anything with your information, contrary to threats they make.  The money from your account has to go somewhere, and either your bank or a law enforcement agency can determine where the money was routed.  As a bank customer you are protected - you'd get the stolen money back in your account after 7-10 business days and the bank would be temporarily out the funds deducted from your account while they conducted their investigation.  The bank, along with law enforcement, would track down the fraudsters and apprehend them.  The fraudsters do not want to incur the wrath of a bank, just extort money out of you.  Remember that.    

Your authorization would absolve the bank from any and all liability, leaving you holding the bag.  Never give them authorization for anything - for all you know the call is recorded.  

2) We have no information on them.

Seriously, this has been going on at least since 2008, possibly longer than that based on some accounts. (6 years??? Holy crap!)  You would think someone would have slipped up by now.  Sadly, they haven't.  We can continue to grow our own intel on them and compile lists of aliases and phone numbers used, along with paraphrases of scripts used in order to educate other victims.  I'm actually putting together a site now in the meantime where I'll host audio files and lists of previous numbers used.  800notes.com is great, but no two calls are exactly the same.  It would be nice to have a site dedicated to the scam and how it works.


So that's where I am with these calls.  I have suffered no monetary loss, though I have been harassed both at home and at work.  They threaten me with arrest and other "fun" things in order to get me convinced I have to pay them.  My friends and family have been targeted and local and federal law enforcement agencies haven't been able to put a stop to things.  So, it is what it is.  I am out a wireless phone number I had for roughly six years, which is terrible since I was using that line when looking for a new job.  

Whenever I'm bored I spoof my number using Google Voice and return the calls.  I've called them the poster children for birth control, etc.  Basically a lot of nasty things that I'm sure the moderators here wouldn't appreciate me repeating - bottom line nothing nice.  I always like to close saying their parents must be real proud knowing their sons weren't man enough to get real jobs.  That usually gets a decent response.  

Way I see it - they can't do anything to me. (Despite a threat yesterday that my life would be f'ed up)  They can threaten all they want but my credit is frozen and my bank information has changed.  I've changed the only number they could really access me directly on and I've instructed my employer and family to not answer the calls.  I just call and harass them now when I find a few extra seconds.  What's the worst they can do to me?  Charge me with harassment?  

Nope, then they would have to identify themselves.

Oh, and don't bother contacting Cashnet USA about the calls.  Their "fraud" department could honestly care less.  Their "investigation" is merely a means of buerocratic CYA.  I would even be surprised at this point if actual law enforcement is involved in any shape, way or form at this time.  

There is a good chance that the information these crooks have on us was obtained from Cashnet USA - either from a database leak or from a collector that was once authorized by Cashnet to call on delinquent customers.  The other chance is they have access to Teletrack, and pulled all of our information off of there.

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.

To register a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General?s Consumer Protection Division, call 1(800) 432-2310 or visit www.ksag.org.

I just got a phone call from 559-853-1529 from an "Officer Ellen Scott" (who barely spoke the language) from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Department.  Advised that either myself or my attorney needed to contact her immediately due to some specious allegations against me and my social security number(?) is listed on a legal record.  For futher information I'm to call back 803-386-2942.  If i disregard the message then they will start the legal procedure (love the diction!) against me.  

The real funny part is that my phone number belonged to somebody else and they were calling and asking for him.  Guess it's time to change the number as i've gotten calls from AT&T to set up uverse and other calls from collection agencies.

I have received 2 calls already this morning from 903-200-5129, but yesterday my caller id showed the 724 number.  The man with an accent stated that his name was Mark Woods and quickly transferred me to his "supervisor".  When i questioned him and where he was calling from he stated California, but the 903 number is from TX.  He then stated that I needed to contact Roger Williams of the Kivilighan Law Assoc.

(559) 853-1529 this number has been contacting my family. Stating to them I took money from a website, and that they needed to pay them back on my behalf. I have been dealing with these people for more than six months.

I RECEIVED THE SAME CALL BUT THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT CALLED ME WAS ALEX WILLS AND HIS TELEPHONE NUMBER WAS 559-853-1529. SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT A PAYDAY LOAN FOR THE AMOUNT OF $430....I THOUGHT PAYDAY LOANS WERE EVEN AMOUNTS, SUCH AS $100, 200, ETC. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A CALLBACK NUMBER, I WAS GIVEN THE 817-717-7130 NUMBER AND WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE 559 NUMBER WAS A BRANCH OFFICE # AND THAT THE 817 WAS THE MAIN NUMBER. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE WAS CALLING FROM KIVLIGHAN LAW ASSOCIATION. I ADVISED MR WILLS THAT I WOULD NEED DOCUMENTATION VERIFYING THE DEBT THAT I SUPPOSEDLY OWE, HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD NEED TO SPEAK WITH HIS SUPERVISOR....I TOLD HIM I WOULD HOLD...HE THEN CAME BACK ON THE LINE AND SAID THAT I WOULD RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION ONCE THE MATTER HAS BEEN SETTLED AND I ADVISED HIM THAT THE LAW STATES THAT IF A COLLECTOR OR COLLECTION AGENCY CALLS REGARDING A BILL THAT YOU SUPPOSEDLY OWE, YOU CAN REQUEST A COPY OF THE INFORMATION VERIFYING THE DEBT THAT YOU OWE AND THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE IT ONCE I REQUEST THE INFORMATION. I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD CALL FAST CASH INTERNATIONAL SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES SAYING THAT I OWE THEM MONEY AND CALL HIM BACK. I GOOGLED FAST CASH INTL AND DISCOVERED SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ATTEMPT TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO PAYING MONEY.

yea i got that same call too  emgerncy 911  & 724-825-4886  & 817-717-7310.  DONT PAY ANYTHING?   BIG SCAM

i received the same calls from both numbers  724-825-4886  & 817-717-7310.  heavy indian accent..  says he is an officer of the us state legal investigation. & that i owe money for a loan. n if i dont pay today the police will b at my door to arrest me.   names he called me with were  1. john hudson, 2. robin jackson, 3. david cooper, 4. jake anderson, 5. james edward & last but niot least 6. mike brown.    wow  these as*******   really have no life  to try n scare people into giving them money.  well i reported them to the police & the ftc, bbb & homeland security.   i asked them to send me an email stateing that i owerd them.  n it took them 3 days to send it.  wen i finally got it.  it had a ketter head from kivlighan law office.  so i looked up the law office n called them  they never heard of any of these people.  so when they called back.  i told them off  n told them that i r4eported them to the police & to stop harassing me.  n he asked me how long agao did u call the police.  i was like does that really matter?  i know for a fact this is a scam.  what ever you do  dont pay them a dime.

When I called the number back and then hung up they called back and on my caller id it came up Emergency 911 - I can't believe it.  Don't answer any of these calls, even if you ever had a payday loan and paid it off they somehow get your info and will never let you know who you owe the money to.

This man call me he said that I fault on a loan that I never even got he said it had been sent to my account when nothing was sent to my account I was trying to asked him question and get info out of him he kept trying to hurry up and get off the phone quick. This is crazy

Received a voicemail on my direct line at work from 724-825-4886 from a man with a heavy accent (West African?).  The man claimed he was "Officer Cooper" and claimed that I owed $100.  I couldn't make out where he was from or who I supposedly owed the money to.  I have never used my direct work phone number on a credit application.  Obviously, I did not call him back!

I receieved 2 calls today. One from 724-825-4886 another from 817-717-7310
I didn't answer the 724 area code. The 817 one -the guy had a really heavy Indian accent and demanded that I come up with money because I was being sued.

This same number has called my cell phone. I didnt answer because I received a call from 817-717-7310 earlier at my work number and they demanded that I pay 679.00 today or I was being sued by an old pay day loan. The guy had a real heavy Indian voice. I asked him where he was calling from and he said New York; When I looked up the area code I found Texas. He gave to 2 hours to come up with the money. He knew a lot of personal information about me. I am definitely reporting this to the BBB!

I received a call from 724-825-4886 with the exact same details as everybody has listed above. A man with a heavy foreign accent called my work line with the name "Michael" and said I was in trouble with companies filing lawsuits against me (didn't give me any reasons), I told him I was out of the office and to leave a message (eventhough he proceeded to give all the personal information to who he thought was a secretary). All he left was his phone number. I immediately tried to call the number back and got a very generic voicemail of "please leave a message after the beep" no company name or business directory. I've worked for collection agencies before so I know all about the rules and do's and donts.

Received an incoming call from a guy who definitely could not speak english.  He demanded that I call back as soon as I listened to this call.  He did not identify his company or himself, but left the number 724-825-4886 as return number.

I will be forwarding this information to the Better Business Bureau, and the Consumer Protection agency.  I am currently in bankruptcy, so I won't be contacting him any time soon.

The number that I was told to call was 724-825-4886

I was contacted earlier this week on 1/27/10 and 1/28/10, and I expect they will try again next week after reading these complaints!

I did not pick up the phone due to the fact that it came up private name and number, however they did leave messages.

What I could make of what they were saying was something like this:
His name was Mike Brown and he was an investigator with the United States Investigation office.  My name and social security number was attached to some type of investigation and that I needed to call back or have my attorney call back.  If I didn't, he was going to go forward with the investigation and I was going to be in big trouble.

O.K. clue number 1: Since I know I haven't done anything wrong, what the hell is this all about?

clue #2: United States Investigation office?  I mean how original is that?!

clue #3: Since when does an United States Government office call up with someone who can barely speak English!?!

clue#4: Where is the legal paper work to back this up?!

clue#5: How professional is it to tell someone they are going to be in big trouble! especially when no reason is even given!

clue #6: An arabic, who obviously wasn't born here is named Mike Brown?

clue #7: Private name and number showing up on caller ID.

It didn't take much to google this number to find out what this was all about and wasn't surprised by what I see.

I am turning this over to the police, don't really know if they can even do anything about it but it's worth a shot! I also like the idea of Homeland Security.

They can waste all the breath they want on my answering machine, because I'm not going to ever pick up!
PLEASE warn all your friends and families so that you can maybe save someone else from getting scammed!

I have received calls from them all week, 7 times today alone!  When I spoke to them last I asked them if they had my e-mail adress on file, they stated they did so I asked them for an e-mail to back up their claim and reistered mail sent to my home adress on file! This adjitated them immensly. I also asked when the FBI became involved in small claims? Being a formal agent for the DOD I know who handles what type of crimes. I was told that I was to be arrested today, still waiting for that too! Of course the last voice mail now changed to Monday. Guess federal agents get weekends off now. I have made reports to the BBB, FTC, and the FCC and since it is a Kabal number, maybe I will make a report to Homeland security too, terroist use scams like this to fund their wars.

These people contacted me on 1/12 saying the same thing. They call out of a the Number 810-677-7471. This is not a U.S. Number. I tried to reverse look-up on it and got nothing. However realizing that the people all have accents. I ran an international reverse search and found the exact number 810-677-7471 was a Kabal Afganistan local number. Because most phone dont show the counrty code during calls it just shows up 810-677-7471. The full number with area code is 93-810-677-7471. These people are operating out of some little shack in the middle east.

same as above. James Edward is the so called FBI agent who called me. says my brother owded money and they want me to pay money to help him. stated that they were going to file charges if i didnt.

WALLINGFORD, CT, August 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about would-be debt collectors who call "payday" loan holders, threatening arrest if they don't pay immediately.

A payday loan, also known as a paycheck advance, is a short-term cash advance intended to cover expenses until the holder's next payday.

The callers claim they are lawyers with the "Financial Accountability Association" or the "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans," and they are armed with stolen personal information from their victims, indicating a major security breach of unknown origin. The names used by the scammers may change with time.

According to Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, payday loan holders appear to be particularly at risk.

"Because the scammers have so much information about potential victims, BBB is concerned that this may be the result of a data breach. Thousands of people may have had their personal information compromised."

Reports received by Better Business Bureau and posted online explain the con artists threaten the loan holders of defaulting and claim they are being sued. The imposters threaten the loan holders with imminent arrest and extradition to California to stand trial, unless they immediately wire $1000 or provide bank account or credit card information.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau has advice for consumers who receive suspicious telephone calls about an outstanding debt:

-Don't be bullied into immediate action. Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation that substantiates the debt.
-Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the telephone until you confirm the legitimacy of the call.
-If you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you, file an abuse complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) online at www. ftc.gov, or by telephone at (202) 326-2222. Also file a complaint with your Better Business Bureau at http://www.bbb.org or by telephone at 203-269-2700, ext. 2.
