I also received calls from this number and a number with all 0 they faxed me something at work with the same fax number. When they call me if I refuse to give them a credit or debit card they would say I?m going to jail and then cussed me out and they called my job and cussed my employer out. I don?t know want to do I found out they are in New York and New Jersey I have an email they gave me acsinc.us@gmail.com

i got several threatning phone calls from the same person called danny dawn. he stated i had a pay day loan that was not paid and if i didnt pay he would have me arrested for theft. i asked him for varifcation that his business was a legitamate one and he said i will send the police to your work with proof. how rediculous is that? i want these people stopped from harrassing innocent people

Some one by the name of Steven Davis called first and then a call came from Danny Dawn. Yehy just continue to call harrassing me at work saying i would go to jail if i didn't pay $300.00 for and outstanding cash advance. These people are very rude and persistant.

Some one needs to investigate these people and arrest them for impersonating a collection agecy.

I hope this information will help to locate these criminals and have them locked up SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had that number come up several times months ago ... I never did answer it and today  a number came up that looked local... since  we have a family member who  we are waiting on some update info to come through I answered it and the first time the guy started to talk and I told him it was a bad time and he'd have to call back... 1 hour later he did and the  number was 319-243-3044.. an man with a foreighn accent like some one from India said he was putting his supervisior on the phone in a most important matter since I told him I couldn't understand him at all ( I could but it flusterates them )  was on hold for 40 sec. and the same slick guy gets on the line and says he's a supervisior and is trying to do me a good turn and  let me pay back a pay day loan before they file charges... I asked when that was and he says back in 2007... and gives me a 450.00 amt.  I told him... this is a scam and I am calling the attorney general as I didn't have a checking account in 2007 nor did I have any pay day loans... he told me he was sending me something and I told him I was forwarding this scam to the attorney general's office here in Iowa to prosecute them and he hung  up on me...

This is a total scam run by idiots who cannot speak English, have heavy Mideastern or Indian accents, and use organizational names that would never exist in this country.

Their real names are undoubtedly names like paramanansa yogamatash or maktoum bin mohammad, but they have used, among many, the following American sounding names:

Ryan Smith
James Wilson
Roger Smith
Alex Green
David Richards
Jack Jones
Robert Jackson
Paul Murray
Frank Johnson
Chuck Rogers
Danny Jones
Jake Wood
Jimmy Carter
Joe Anderson
Shawn Michaels
Harry Wilson
Louis Martin
Patrick Wilson
Eddie Wilson

They claim to be from:

United Investigation Bureau Department
United Legal Investigations
United Fraud Investigations
United Legal Investigation Department
United Legal Investigation Bureau
United Stated Legal Department

It should be possible for authorities to trace them to this FAX Number:

646-786-4334

They are running scared, and they keep changing their callback number, including:

212-461-1163
937-664-5824
347-844-6701
718-766-7919
607-330-0158
818-688-7216
727-803-9802

Fake Debt Collectors Terrify Consumers
Alleged Debt Scam Calls Threaten Consumers: 'Only God Can Help You Now'
By ALICE GOMSTYN

Aug. 21, 2008 ?

Scammers masquerading as debt collectors and law enforcement officials have terrified consumers with threatening phone calls and bilked them out of thousands of dollars, officials with the West Virginia Attorney General's Office say.

Prosecutors said that the scammers, who speak with heavy foreign accents, are known for repeatedly calling people at home and at work and threatening them with arrest if they don't repay supposed debts -- debts that, according to West Virginia officials, don't actually exist.

The scammers operate under names such as U.S. National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau and United Legal Processing, said West Virginia Assistant Attorney General Norman Googel.

The callers also have invoked the names of actors Denzel Washington and Steve Martin, people who've received calls tell ABCNews.com.
Googel said that the scammers have been impossible to track down, but ABCNews.com spoke to one man who claimed to be associated with U.S. National Bank. The man said he works for Financial Crime Division, a company he said provides services for USNB.

The man refused to give his name and gave little information about his company.
'It's not necessary that each and everyone knows about Financial Crime Division, and probably one of them is you,' he said. (To hear an excerpt of this interview, click here. Links to more interview excerpts are included on the second and third pages of this story.)
The man also denied that consumers had been threatened with arrests.

But Mark Feury, a 35-year-old assistant manager at a hotel cafe, said it was the threat of an arrest that drove him to wire nearly $800 to U.S. National Bank in January. The Lewisberg, W.Va., resident said that he took out several payday loans -- short-term loans -- in 2005 to help pay for Christmas presents and medical treatments for his son, who suffers from autism.
Feury said he paid his loans back in 2007, but the scammers' phone calls -- at least 35 in all, he said -- and their threats made him doubt himself.
'I was scared to death,' he said. 'Everything they said literally just stressed me out to the max.'

The group has targeted consumers who took out payday loans through Web sites years ago, Googel said.
The group has secured consumers' Social Security numbers and other personal information, which may have been stolen from Internet payday lending sites, Googel said.
What has made the group especially intimidating, Googel said, is its use of phrases that sound like legal terms -- such as 'downloading affidavits' -- but, in reality, are meaningless.

The alleged scammers have also invoked God, Googel said, telling victims that 'only God can help you now.'
Some of the scammers' tactics are downright puzzling.
One West Virginia woman, who asked that her name not be revealed, told ABCNews.com that a scammer once called her and identified himself as 'Denzel Washington.'
Feury said that one of the scammers who called him said he was calling from 'Steve Martin's office.'
Collection and Money Fraud

Googel said that the scammers' use of celebrity names may indicate a lack of familiarity with American names. Some, he said, suspect that the scammers are based in India.

Since July 2007, Googel said, the West Virginia Attorney General's Office has heard from nearly 20 consumers who have complained about the scam.
West Virginia residents aren't the only ones complaining. The Florida Attorney General's Office said it has heard more than three dozen complaints related to U.S. National Bank.

Thus far, Googel said, the scammers have been impossible to trace, using a multitude of phone numbers and fake addresses.
'The way they've hidden themselves is pretty slick,' he said.

ABCNews.com called a phone number associated with U.S. National Bank -- Feury listed the number in a complaint against the company -- and was transferred to the man who claimed to work for Financial Crime Division.
The man, who spoke to an ABC News reporter for about five minutes, said that U.S. National Bank owns Internet payday lending Web sites and that Financial Crime Division is a 'legal affidavit processor' -- a term that Googel also has dismissed as meaningless -- that works to notify borrowers that they still owe money to USNB. (The man refused to provide ABC News with contact information for U.S. National Bank.)
'They have taken so many loans they have forgotten that one to pay back and we are calling them about this legal matter,' the man on the phone said. 'That's not our problem that they have forgotten.'

The man argued against the complaint that his company had called people about nonexistent or repaid debts. Consumers, he said, have failed to provide the company with proof that their debts have been repaid.
'When we are asking the information, they are not ready to give to us,' he said. 'If they have paid it, they must have something in writing, some kind of receipt, but they are not going to give it to us, so how can we trust them?'

Loan Scams and Fake Address
When asked where Financial Crime Division was based, the man hung up.
Googel said that he has been on the phone with the suspected scammers many times and that each time they refuse to provide identifying information such as valid addresses or a licensing number, which collections agencies operating in West Virginia are required to have.
'I yell and scream at them, but it doesn't do any good. It's sort of high drama in a way,' he said.
Googel said that he has notified the Federal Trade Commission about the scam, but the FTC would not confirm whether it had launched an investigation. An FTC official told ABCNews.com that it does not disclose whether it is investigating a company unless it takes the company to court.

The official said that consumers with complaints about U.S. National Bank are encouraged to contact the FTC, the Better Business Bureau or their state attorney general's office. Read a statement by the West Virginia Attorney General's Office's office on the issue here.

Sam bishop saying he is from the Dept of Crime Prevention and is undercover and is harrassing me about a never paid payday loan from severl years ago and keeps a]harrassing me at work and also called from a different number of 813-902-3208

I reported this above back in November for calling my fax machine. They are still calling almost daily. I forgot that I reported it before here and googled it to find this site yet again. I picked up and caught an Indian man. I asked why he keeps calling my fax line and he said he is trying to fax me something and then stopped talking. I said, "you've been calling daily for months, stop calling this number."

They called twice in a row today a little after noon, but after receiving so many "hang up" calls from all kinds of unknown numbers, I just quit picking up.

They keep calling my dedicated business fax line, like EVERY day! When I call it back it says "Lines are temporary busy." Notice, it doesn't say temporarily, it does say temporary, which is not proper. This area code is also local to me. I have my fax line connected to a 2 line phone so I can see who is faxing me without getting up to look at non-important faxes and I tried answering it today to try to catch a person. No luck. There was nobody there. Jerks!

My guess was incorrect.

727-803-9802 is assigned to Mci Metro Ats Inc. per Verizon.

MCI Metro ATS Inc is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCI WorldCom Network Services.

My guess was incorrect.

727-803-9802 is assigned to Mci Metro Ats Inc. per Verizon.

These reports are all very strange.

I got a call on my business line and the caller left a message on my recorder which turned out to be from a vendor that was at a trade show I attended last week in Las Vegas. The name of the caller and his company was unintelligible as the guy machineguned that part. The area code is local to me, but the vendor cannot be due to our state laws on gambling paraphernalia.

Googling "INTL. NUMBER" shows, in a round-about way, that folks calling are using or are being routed through some sort of a long distance service as on a BBB page one person was asking how his daughter's cell phone and that of a family friend in the Army stationed in Italy each had the the exact same number with "INTL. NUMBER" show on his local caller ID.  Not always but several times.

Best Guess: A Skype or similar plan user.

So, the call can be legit at times.  Most of the time it is spam and a way to not get nailed by the Feds if you are on the DNC list.

NO ONE ON OTHER END, I DO HAVE A CALL BLOCK ON.
