Allow me to add something to this mystery: http://scottalantuckerowesme800dollars.blogspot.com/
I'll be updating this the more they give me their info.  I have a neat trick that allows me to get info from them without them knowing it when I'm on the phone with them.  In the mean time, read up!!

i got call 4m Ben stein! he help-out me 2 resolve my case.i m thank-full 2 him for his kindness.

I first started getting calls from the #760-514-0129.  Indian accent man called, threatened with arrest, police coming to my house, etc.  Said "May God be with you".  My son and sister also got messages from him threatening them if they did not get my attorney to call them.  I just got another call from the same person today, so did my sister 7 my son.  That # was 347-416-5140.  Same threats, "May God be with me', etc.  He said he was from the financial loan dept. of Cash Advance America and was calling on behalf of Atty. Richard Brown.  He eventually hung up on me.  Will report this immediately.

These people have told me that I owe 9K and if give me them my bank account info, then they will stop calling me...

These calls are coming from a scammer do not give them any information report the number and name of the person to the FTC and FBI.

I received a call from and they left this number on my voicemail...thick indian accent...i am not even going to bother to call back..

just received a call from that number, a man with a thick Indian accent, threatening me saying I better call back or my attorney....Im laughing now cause when I called back he got made cause I wouldnt give him my number and started to tell me what he would do to me explicitly......

JUST RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM ANGELA ANDERSON WITH A VERY THICJ INDIAN ACCENT, HARRASSING ME IN MY WORK PLACE, SAYING THERES A PENDING LAWSUIT AGAINST ME AND WHEN I DIDN'T BUY IT SHE CALLED AGAIN AND ASKING FOR MY FAX # AND MY SUPERVISOR'S NO.

The guy's name so he says is Paul Smith, he called about a payday loan. I told him I don't have a payday loan. He said I would be taken to jail, he would get me fired from my job. What can I do?

Got 2 calls today from this number and the guy with a very heavy accent saying his name is David Matthews and he is with American Legal Services and the Department of Justice and that my husband needs to call him back because a law suit has been brought against him. The first time I told him that if there was a lawsuit we should be served at the very least by mail, not by phone. When I pressed for more information he hung up. An hour and a half later he called again and this time said that he was going to keep calling me unless I gave him my husband's cell phone number. When I refused and told him that I knew this was fraudulent and was not going to give him any information he said then I am going to call his employer and have him fired (he gave my husbands employer information but not a phone number) then he said he would call my mother and his mother and would have them hauled into court and have them go in front of a jury to say that they never gave permission for my husband to use them as references. Then he said "God Bless You and your family, Goodbye." Then he hung up. I called my husband so that he could warn his boss about possible harassing phone calls and his boss called me back and said that if they call there he will get their lawyers on it and file harassment and criminal charges against them.
If they call back we have been advised to contact our local PD and then the department of justice as well.

This is the same one that keeps calling me. Do I need to close out my bank account???

Got a call from this number today right after I attended a very stressful and upsetting funeral.  I know I owe money to some payday loan companies, but am hoping this is a scam because they scared me terribly - AND they called my parents and scared them half to death! Sick of it.

They called me to and said i owed money ad if it was not paid i would got to jail and want me to fax all my personal information to mark brown something needs to be done about them is for sure told me 4 different law firm names

THEY ARE LIKE FLEAS, NASTY AND HARD TO GET RID OF!  REPORTED THEM TO THE NY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.  I WAS RECEIVING THREATENING CALLS FROM 1-760-514-0129.  THEY MUST HAVE BLOCKED ME FROM CALLING THEM BACK AS I GET MESSAGE THAT SAYS ALL LINES ARE UNAVAILABLE NOW.  HOPE SOMEONE WILL FINALLY CLOSE THEM DOWN!!

These people need to be stopped...if I find out they called any friends/relatives I will take the next step.  In the meantime I will report them.

Got a call from 760-514-0129 informing me that I will need a lawyer because I am being charged with fraud, theft of services, swindling, etc.  The man had a deep Indian sounding voice and his continual threats to me about jail, calling my references, federal charges, etc. eas very disturbing.  I demanded to know what he was talking about and he said it involved Cash Advance Co.  He said I could stop all legal action by sending them $300.00.  I refused and said i needed more info.  He then hung up on me.  When I tried to call him back (4x), an automated American voice came on and said "all circuits are busy now" and then a busy signal.

Received a call from this number threatening us to pay for a loan we never asked for or else criminal charges would be filed against us. They had even called my husband's work place a week before and had left a message there with one of the employees as to the reason of their call.  THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. Can't these people be stopped?!

This number keeps calling me at work and will not tell me what I owe or what it is for. He just keeps calling.

So we received several calls from this company -188 to be exact on Monday. We are a business and it's not acceptable for them to be calling this much. We've been cussed at and harassed far too much. So far we've received calls from an "Angela" from the Law Office of Mark Brown, "Lela" from some charity name I couldn't make out, and I called back the 760-514-0129 and got American Legal Services, called (503) 547-7189 and got a voicemail that I can't quite understand either maybe "Derek" and then was immediately called back (715) 421-4477 and was cussed for calling and checking on her. Oh and the original number (559) 399-0838. Beware if you see these numbers on your caller ID -DO NOT ANSWER!!

THESE B*****DS CALLED ME TODAY AND THEY PICKED THE WRONG PERSON TO PULL THIS ON. THIS LOAN HAS BEEN PAID OFF FOR YEARS. THEY ARE CALLING ME AND MY FAMILY HARRASSING US. COMBINED WE CONSIST OF A LAWYER, PROFESSOR AND GOV WORKER AND WE ALL WERE THREATENED WILL JAIL TIME AND LAWSUITS. REALLY LOL??? ONE OF US WAS TOLD THAT ONLY GOD CAN HELP THEM....SO AFTER EXPLAINING THAT IN THIS COUNTRY THREATENING PEOPLE IS ILLEGAL AND TRYING TO COLLECT MONEY THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU IS FRAUD NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU ARE IN. THEY BACKED UP AND APOLOGIZED AND AGREED NOT TO CALL.

STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! THE DUMMIES LEFT VOICEMAILS AND GUESS WHAT... ITS LAWSUIT TIME. IM SUING THEM FOR HARRASEMENT FOR CALLING MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR REPORTING FALSE INFORMATION AND THREATENING ALL OF US.


DONT FALL FOR THIS....FIGHT BACK BECAUSE I AM!!!!

I have been getting these for a month now.  Started with 707-632-4632, then 727-488-3352, and then finally today 760-514-0129.  They called me, my wife, and my parent.  I am currently out of state with the military, wife in Washington, and parents traveling to Arizona for the winter.  We all got calls today and the threats of all of going to jail.  They even had the balls to ask for a debit card number....We aren't that stupid.  Next time you get a call tell them you have a family member who is a Marshal, or works with the US Fruad Department.  Also something odd- my dad has an old cell phone and the number came up as 011-1-760-514-0129,.....so they are definatly international.  BEWARE, and FIGHT BACK!!!!!!!  Contact the FBI via their website FBI.GOV and go to the report a crime tab.  May not do much, but get the word out to the rest of the country that this is occuring.

I have just received a voice mail a person who did not even identify his name from the same phone number threatening me that I better call them before "I get in big trouble". He said he is calling from American Legal Services Lawfirm and also had mention my sister's name. I called the number back and I spoke to a guy with a deep Indian accent which he claims he is James King. I asked him why he called me for? He asked my name and I told him my name. He then stated that he needs to speak to my sister instead. I told him that he left a threatening voice mail stating that I was involve so why can't he tell me what it's about. He then stated that it's a financial matter and he really needs to speak to my sister instead of me. I further insisted to tell me what it's about since he has told me that I could also get in big trouble but he refused. I went ahead and told him that I will report him to the police for leaving threatening voice mail and then he hanged up. I tried to look up American Legal Services and it looks like there is one in Washington D.C. I tried to search for the name "James king" in their directory but there is no James King.

They are using the VolP company Pac-West as their phone provider.  Pac-West has an abuse complaint department, 800-511-9048, or e-mail, abuse@pacwest.com.  Maybe Pac-West has a conscience and will pay attention to the complaints about these people.  They have been abusing us long enough.  I pray anyone who gets a call from this number will file a complaint with this provider.

760 514 0129 is a scam....I think I am going to continue messing with them instead.   I will let you know what happens.

Fake Debt Collectors ? Terrorizing Consumers

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.html   latest release of information on this scam

http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
Attorney General Darrell McGraw took the extraordinary step today of warning the public about a band of scam artists making threats to consumers who allegedly obtained Internet payday loans in West Virginia and across the nation. The consumers they threaten never obtained a loan at all or paid it off years ago.

Internet payday loans are short-term loans or cash advances, usually for 14 days, made over the Internet via interactive web sites and secured by an agreement authorizing debits of the loan and all fees owed from the consumer?s checking account. These loans typically charge interest rates ranging from 600-800 APR and are unlawful in West Virginia.

The scam artists, who speak English with a foreign accent, call themselves ?U.S. National Bank,? ?Federal Investigation Bureau,? ?United Legal Processing? and numerous other phony names. They refuse to disclose real names and addresses and are believed to be operating ?off the grid? from homes, automobiles, or from off shore locations or foreign countries, including India. Since the scammers have kept themselves purposely well hidden, thus far no law enforcement agencies have succeeded in locating or shutting them down.

The scammers typically pose as law enforcement officers, investigators, lawyers, and bankers and threaten consumers that they will be arrested for ?bank fraud? or other fictitious crimes unless money is wired immediately. They simultaneously scare and confuse consumers by using meaningless legalese gobbledygook phrases such as, ?We are downloading warrants against you? or ?We are filing an affidavit against you.? Consumers who don?t immediately fall for the scam are warned, ?Only God can help you now.?

The scammers almost always call consumers at work several times a day, and tell their supervisors, ?Your employee has committed fraud and is about to be arrested.? Such threats have proven unsettling even to the most savvy consumers and employers who suspect the calls are fraudulent.

Attorney General McGraw stated, ?Ordinarily my office protects consumers from fraudulent activities by seeking injunctions in court. But legal action cannot be taken until the scam artists can be located. Even then, it is unlikely that the persons behind the fraudulent calls and extortionist threats would obey a court order. In this case, the consumer?s best defense is to be armed with the knowledge of the scam so that all demands for money can be resisted, despite the false but scarey threats of arrest.?

McGraw added, ?Because the fraudsters make a special point of calling consumers repeatedly at work, employers must understand that the consumers are innocent victims of a criminal enterprise and cannot stop the calls from coming. I also wish to assure the citizens of West Virginia that my office will continue to do everything possible to locate and shut down the outlaw debt collectors.?

More information about this fraudulent debt collection scheme is available at the Attorney General?s website, www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam. Any consumers who have been threatened by these persons or wish to file a complaint about another consumer matter may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 1-800-368-8808, or by obtaining a complaint form from the Attorney General?s web site.

It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.
A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank.  Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.
This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.
Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )
Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.
This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.

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:

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.

Same thing happened to me today from that #.  I am a little freaked out that they have my SS# and all my info.  Very scary!!!

I received a call from this number, the indiviual had a thick Indian (India) accent and claimed to be an officer. I asked what agency and the person responded in broken english Simanual Crime And Investigation. The only way i understood that was becasue I had him spell it for me. I then asked for the individual's supervisor hoping to get someone who can speak english as well as understand why i am going to be prosecuted for a federal crime. The individual claims that i need to pay $7,000 today or go to federal prison. I told the person that i am not paying a thing and they said the i need to or i will have U.S. Marshalls at my door, knowing that a U.S. Marshall is out of jurisdiction so to speak on this issue i informed the individual who called me that what they are doing is illegal and that i am going to file a report with my local police dept. The told me to do so and then started yelling something at me in which i could not understand due to his accent. My police dept. told me that this is a scam and to notify them if i receive a call again.
