Someone is leaving my phone number (which is similar to 760-278-4209) in bogus messages from debt collectors, FBI, etc.  I keep getting calls from different people asking for Eric,or for an extention.  I tell them that they have the wrong number that I left no message.  This has been going on for a few weeks.  I am making a record of all the numbers calling me and plan to report these numbers to the police, FTC and any other agency that I can.  I tell each one NOT to call me again, but a few do.

If you ever filled out a form for a payday loan, thats how the scammers got your info. They set up a bogus payday loan application asking you to input all information. Then they take your information, sell your identity, run up accounts and credit cards in your name and then call you with bogus threats asking for money or you will go to jail. Report these people to the Secret Service or US Postal Inspectors. They handle these types of scams and fraud.

Absolutely!!!! They have called my JOB 10-12 times in a row.  These people should be prosecuted!  They are misrepresenting themselves as FBI and all kinds of crap.  Have gotten every single name that is stated here.  I AM calling a lawyer!  This is ridiculous!

I received a call from 0000.  It is the same message as above.  The caller says that the debt was incurred by my 40 year old step daughter, but they have MY cell phone #.  They did have her name correct.  This foreign piece of crap calls me again I am going to scare the crap out of him. Sick of these thugs ripping off innocent people.

A Tony Williams keeps calling me from a 615 # and leaving this # as the call back number.  Tells me I'm going to be in legal trouble if I don't return his phone calls, etc.  Report it to the FTC

THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished speaking with a woman with an Indian accent who tried to bully me into paying...indicating that a lawsuit is pending next week in the State of California for a USpaydaycash company based out of NY...I called that 518 number, and surprise surprise, the # is busy.  Supposedly I took a loan of $300 sometime in January 2010 and attempts to collect have been returned.

Well, I checked with my bank, and there is no electronic evidence of this ever happening.  And then I google searched this 760 # and found these posts.  It's a scam.

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.

I just received a call from this number saying that I owe $200.00 on a  pay day loan, and that I will have to go to court. I owe nothing, never received a loan.... I spoke with 2 men with very strong accents, they said they were calling from California, my caller ID showed incoming call as 0000. I asked for they're names, they gave me "Kevin Rocker" another man "Jeff Holwineski". They told me to have my attorney call them at 760-278-4209. BEWARE!!!! THIS MUST BE A SCAM!!!!

Recibi una llamada de esta "compania" diceindo que debia 500dlls a pagar en tres dias, me acusan de aver pedido un prestamo a "payday loan" por internet pero nunca eh pedido nada ni debo nada a estas personas. creo que es un fraude por telefono usando informacion confidencial y asiendo uso de esta para sacar dinero a las personas amenasando con llevarlas a corte y dando la opcion de arreglo con ellos y de esta manera robar.

This is crap, who do I report this crap to.  I owe nothing never have never will.
