He just called again. Gave a new number same exact senario. 646-499-6552

I have had the same thing happening to me. Today the guy with the Indian accent called 30 times in about an hour. He told me 3 different names.  Jason Cooper was one. I asked him to send documents of the debt to my home and he said he is not my servant. He is the servant of the government. He demanded to speak with my boss. How do I get this to stop. I called the police. What now. I will lose my job!

They just call me back so i deside to go allong with it i listen to all he had to say, then i ask him what shall i do to resolve this he said i could make a payment and everything will be fine, i told him ok hold on let me get my credit card i put him on hold 15min now and he still holding as i write this, now am about to take a shower and leave him on hold..lol

Just as an FYI, everyone, I have attempted something that you might find interesting:

I have been reading through these posts almost daily for over a year now.  This whole scam irritated me in a unique way for some reason, and I have been hell-bent to try anything and everything I can to help stop anyone else being a victim or give them any more funding for whatever ilicit purposes they are involved in.

I have chosen numbers from random posts on this forum from other people.  Keep in mind that none of these numbers had ever contacted me!  I called back and started asking questions, acted a little bit worried and when they asked my name, I gave them a fake one (said I was Chuck U. Farley, which the humor was completely lost on them).  I would then hang up.  LITERALLY WITHIN 30 MINUTES I started receiving calls for Chuck U. Farley about a warrant for my arrest, a huge bill for a payday loan that wasn't paid, check fraud charges, etc.  Chuck U. Farley doesn't even exist, the name was an invention of my imagination, but they sucked onto it like leaches thinking it was yet another person they could scam out of money.  As soon as they had a phone number & name, a bad debt of outrageous porportions "magically appeared".

On that note, I agree that we seem to be getting nowhere with assistance from our own government.  I have filed complaints with every branch I can think of (& some new ones I found online).  There has been no response, action or resolution.  I have resolved to just keep trying to help as many as I can from sending their hard earned money, and for myself start seeing the humorous side of it all.  Here is a previous post I listed.  It may give you some good ideas on how to deal with them, but at the very least it should add a little humor to your day:

"Here's some more ideas to add in there:

They have started in with a new number now (760-269-4169), so the game begins again!  This time when the guy identified himself as an "officer", I told him he has called a crime scene and I started interrogating him.  He hung up after some stuttering and stammering.  Anyone who did not see my last post, here it is again with some more creative ideas on how to deal with these idiots:

"OK, first off, everyone CALM DOWN and don?t freak out about these guys.  No matter what they say or what they threaten, they CAN?T do anything to you.  I know every one of us has tried filing reports with law enforcement, FTC, FBI, ic3, etc.  It doesn?t seem to work, because these guys aren?t even in the USA.  So take a deep breath, relax and don?t let them ruffle your feathers.

Now, I started getting these calls about a year ago.  I have personally used all of the tactics below, and they do stop calling me for about 6 months?so the way I figure it, a little time out of my day to give them back a taste of their own medicine is worth it for 6 months of peace and quiet.  Keep in mind, as well, every minute you spend screwing with them on the phone is a minute they are NOT able to scam someone else.  (And the only way they will ever stop is if nobody pays them any money ever again!)  And now for the fun part?how to screw with them back.  I will start with the easiest and move up the line with the more time consuming:

If you have no time to mess with them:
a.    Just don?t pick up the line.  Let it go to voicemail and delete the message.
b.    Pick up the line and immediately hang up.  Keep doing it until they stop.
c.    Pick up the line and use an air horn or police whistle blown straight into the mouthpiece of the phone.  (I personally like the canned airhorn the best.)
d.    If they call while you are driving, turn the radio up as loud as possible and answer the line on speakerphone.  Don?t say anything, just let them listen to the blasting music.  Heavy metal music works best, but I personally have a CD with Star Spangled Banner on it, so I play that as loud as I can.  Just leave the line open with the music blasting until they hang up.

If you have a little more time to mess with them:
a.    Ask if they are related to the deceased (insert your name here as the ?deceased?) or just a family friend, because ?the viewing of the body if for family only, but the memorial service is open to everyone.?  Ask if they would like directions to the funeral.
b.    Simply tell them that you have read all about their scam on the internet & seen it on the news on TV, so you aren?t paying anything.  Don?t listen to any response, just hang up on them after saying this.
c.    Use this one only if you are willing to be as crude as they are:  Using the name they gave you (i.e., ?Officer Mike Taylor? was the last one I got), say, ?Is the this THE Officer Mike Taylor I read about on the internet?  Is it true what the posts online say, that you have such a small d**k that even camels won?t have sex with you??  Then hang up on them.
d.    (For this one, I must first apologize to PETA and all vegans, but it highly offends the scammers because they consider cows to be divine beings.)  Tell them you don?t have time to speak with them, because you work at a slaughter house and you have over 100 cattle you need to ?kill off? before the end off the day.  Then hang up on them.
e.    Are you good with theatrics?  Then try this one?it was actually highly effective for me:  Put on your deepest, scariest, growliest voice and just whisper into the phone over and over, ?I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you??.  Just keep whispering it over and over until they hang up.  I think this one worked well because they are quite superstitious.
f.    If you know a foreign language, answer the phone in it and just keep talking in unintelligible phrases.  The more obscure the language, the better.  Don?t know a foreign language?  Pig Latin seems to work just as effectively.
g.    Ask if they are calling from the convenience store, and can they give you last night?s winning lottery numbers, because you are sure you have won.  For any response they give to it, just keep yelling over and over, ?I won! I won!?
h.    When you answer the phone, ask them where your pizza is and tell them because they didn?t get it to you in the ?30 minutes?, you?re not paying for it.  Hang up.
i.    Tell them you are at work right now, but to call you back on your ?home? phone, and give them this number: 202-835-0778.  (This is the scam and fraud reporting division number at the FBI.)  Hang up.

If you are REALLY p***ed off, and have plenty of time to screw with them:

a.    Go on to Craig?s List and post an ad in the wanted section or services section  saying you are looking for a payday loan company because you need a loan.  Ask they call you right away.  List the scammer?s name and phone number as the contact information.  (This sends the scum-sucking bottom feeders off to call the other scum sucking bottom feeders?LOL)
b.    Go online and look for every free daily horoscope, free insurance quote, free mortgage lending, etc., and click on the ?have an agent contact me? link.  Type in the scammer?s name and phone number.  Viola!  Now they will get flooded with telemarketers as well.
c.    If you would like to blow off steam, and have no problem with swearing, just keep calling them over and over pretending you have Tourette?s Syndrome by just screaming obscenities in the phone until they hang up.  This works pretty good in the car, because no one else can hear you and it is a good tension reliever.
d.    Log onto these payday loan sites and enter all of the scammers? information on it.  This way they might even wind up on their own list!
e.    (Do NOT attempt this one unless you have state of the art spyware & virus protection, and even then, you still are taking a risk):  Go into your spam folder on your computer.  Find every email you can about ?you won millions of dollars? or ?the Nigerian lottery? or something to that effect.  Send it back with all of the scammers? contact information.
f.    Research for the phone numbers to both local and national TV news stations ?breaking news desk?.  Again, tell the scammer on the phone to call you at your ?work number? and give the number to the news station?s phone number.  (Hopefully, if the news stations get enough of these calls, they will start airing more stories about it, reaching more people and reduce the number of victims that fall for this.)

Again, before sending money to ANYONE, stop. Think.  Do you have any paperwork showing you owe money?  If not, ask for paperwork.  If they refuse to send it, they are scammers.  A real collection agency will always: 1. provide paperwork; 2. never yell or cuss at you; 3. never require you to pay first before receiving paperwork; 4. never identify themselves as an officer of law enforcement; 5. never threaten you with jail, arrest or physical harm.

Dear Devon Marshall, if you call me one more time I will press charges against you for harassament and reveal you for the scam artist you are. I do not owe any debt of any kind to any person or company so it is useless to try to continue to scare me into paying you.

some guy calls my boyfriend from this number yelling gibberish. from the situations that i am reading here he is nothing but trouble. thank you to everyone who posted you have been a big help

I just got this phone call on my way home from school. Some guy named Devon Marshall says he is a lawyer hired by "A Payday Loan Company" to handle a lawsuit they filed against me. I ask Devon what the name of this company was and he said "I can not disclose that information right now." I ask how much the loan was for and he says "I cannot disclose that information right now." I ask how much the loan was for and says "I cannot tell you that right now." I tell Mr. Marshall, "I am going to hang up now. When you are ready to give me all of the details of the loan I defaulted on and the loan company I borrowed from you may call me back," I then hung up the phone. He called back 5 times back to back and left some pretty rude and vulgar messages.

the same thing happened to me.  He keeps telling me that something bad is going to happen to me.
and he gets mad if i curse at him so I curse at him everytime now.  He tells me his name is Tom Wilson.  I am reporting this to the police.

He called my place of employment... That right there was fraked.... Then I called as requested he got rude telling me that I was to shut up and not say a word until he allowed me to,  mind you this was before he told me what the purpose of call was,  then he proceeded to tell me I had charges against me when I asked why? he told me to shut up and asked me if all Hicks are as stupid as me.. so I grinded my teeth as I waited for him to finish which he did not instead he He stated are u still there or did your brain stop working..  I said go on then he told me to shut up instead. SO  ; -> I asked him to repeat the social on file he paused then hung up.. so I, as any naturally inquisitive person would, called him back over and over and over, bwahhaha, he then told me in three hrs. I would have a sheriff approach me with a warranty for arrest, ummm. Duhh. Any CJ major knows how that works. So I called my local sheriff's department when I told them they laughed stating the call is a scammer. Okay kool so when the idiot called me at church I saved the message which is verbatum from posts noted earlier I called his recorded for quality assurance line and advised him "he will stop calling he will stop harassing me or I will press charges on him let's see what he says now.

this man is doing the same thing to my mother he needs to b stopped immediatly.

If they know your name and the phone number of your work place who knows what other information they have. Report the call to the FTC and red flag your bank account, credit cards, and credit reports. Make sure they understand that they will not get anything from you.

It is very important to make it clear to these people that they will not get anything from you. All of these different numbers that are calling you are actually coming from the same call center somewhere overseas. They spent a month harassing me with threats of arrest trying to scare me into paying them money. Red flag your checking accounts, credit cards, and credit reports and report every number they have called you from to the FTC.

DIFFERENT NUMBERS KEEP CALLING ME SAYING THEY ARE A LAW FIRM AND I HAVE AN WARRANT FOR MY ARREST! I AM TIRED OF THEM

BROWN EYES: NO ITS NOT TRUE!! Its all a scam and these jerks think they can intimidate you with their words!! dont let them and just tell them you know its a scam and you have reported them. if they have your bank account #-call your bank and have them red flag it.  they are nothing but jerks! they cant touch you or hurt you.

THEY CALLEDY JOB & MY JOB GAVE ME THE NUMBER I CALLED HE SAID THEY HAD A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST HOW WHEN I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM THEM AT ALL! WHAT IS GOING ON? IS THIS TRUE SOMEONE TELL ME?

This is the same guy who calls me from 424-253-0145 and 786-752-7410. He said I defaulted on a payday loan I never had. I put a hold on my checking account and red flagged my credit report. He will not get anything from me.

Devon Marshall calls me from this number and left a message saying that I have three criminal charges filled against me for defaulting on a loan I never took out and that me or my attorney should called hime back right away. This is a time senistive matter and if he does not get a call back all he could do is wish me luck as these terrible events unfold. When I get the message I google the number and found this site and I decide to ignore him. 30 minutes later he calls me again and I ignore him and let it go to voice mail. In the second message he said that I have a lawsuit under my social security number and he recited the while number and if I do not call him back he will have the police at my door within 72 hours. After this message, I go to my bank and put a flag on my bank account, all my credit cards, and my credit reports. Devon Marshall will not get anything from me.

My boyfriend got the same call today.....thank you all for your post they have given us a huge relief .....our only concern is that they have so much info on us.

I got a call from this company (Cash Advance America) today (4/27) who informed me that I took out a pay day loan from them and they were suing me for non-payment.  A complete and total scam.  The man I spoke to is named Mr. John Anderson.  He has a heavy accent and is barely understandable.  I called the Attorney General's office in California to complain.  I am waiting to hear back from them.  Beware of this company.  They will not provide any information to you and will threaten to have you arrested.

he did the same thing to me.

This guy was trying to SCAM me as well.  Indian accent and was pushing for payment on a loan I don't have.  Payday loan variety and hung up when I refused.  Claimed to have attorney there and for whatever reason they had my information.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

I got their call today. Now, since I didn't recognize it, I left it as is. I immediately called back and got a "Can I help you?" I hung up and found this.

I'm gonna use this for now on.

This guy is a scam artist and an identity thief. I did take out one small payday loan about a year and a half ago and paid it back on time without any problems. Then out of the blue I get a call from a guy saying that I defaulted on that payday loan and I am being sued. He said that I need to pay him within 48 hours otherwise he will get me terminated from my job and have me arrested for fraud. I told him that I will not pay him anything until I receive written documentaion of this lawsuit and payday loan and until I speak with  the payday loan company that filed this lawsuit. He went quite for a moment and I heard voices in the background telling similar stories. This is a scam.

He also goes by Steven Matthew just got a call twice yesterday.

Same as most of the above. So far I have called the sheriff dept. and made an incident report. I have to say I am quite freaked out right now.  This guy had me so nervous I was shaking! I am pregnant and don't have the patience for this mess!!!! Thank you all for your comments!

Devon Marshall says that I defaulted on a payday loan I paid back 6 months ago. The cops are ready to arrest me if I do not pay him $300 through Green Dot (RED FLAG) by the end of the day to make this payday loan company drop charges. I hung up and never answered his phone calls again.

threating that they are gonna arrest me
asked if me and my daughter are stuppid

A gentleman from this number continues to call me on a weekly basis stating he is going to have me served.  I have refused to give him my personal information and this last call I said "f*** you" and he said "I want to f*** you."  Someone has to stop these people!

This company is National Attorneys Collection service out of California 877-224-5572 is the main number i got the very same phone call.  only they reached my teenage daughter and told her they were going to put her in jail for non payment of a loan.  I am filing a formal complaint with the police department in my town for verbal harrassment of a minor and i am trying to contact a  local news anchor to see if they want to do a story on this.
