I got the same call from 323-431-3049. Same company name but the man's name was Alex Watson. He told me I owed money from Easy Cash USA and wouldn't give me any other information about the company or how to contact them. I gave him my attorney's info and hung up. They have called me 28 times today.

I just received a call from the #408.689.0448, the guys name was Michael Carter with Jefferson Davenport Associates. He was being very rude. Told me that I had taken out a loan with Insta Cash which I Never have. He told me that they would be sending me papers and that my court date was for 3/31/10. He knew my mother's name, my bank, my full name, my e-mail, and said that he knew my social. I asked him for his client's number, he gave me 949.743.3374 & 949.743.3367. I was able to call, but when the guy answered I knew immediately that it was crap.

I received a phone call two days in a row from the same people telling me I had an unpaid loan thru Insta Credit and was being sued over it. Alex Rogers is the name of the so called Attorney that contacted me and two of my friends telling us that we would be served papers at the place that we work and expected to show up in court in California on March 25, 2010 or I would be arrested for a federal crime. I contacted my local law enforcement and filed a compliant with them and enquired about identity theft. The officer that came to my house stated that if indeed I received papers that I was to take them to the local court house as soon as i could so they could investigate who and where they came from. The names they use with me was the same Alex Rogers, Andy Hunt and Roger Williams from Jefferson Davenport Associates. I was advised not to give them anymore information and make note of all the times and dates that they call and report it to my local law enforcement officer. Please do not pay these people.

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.

I recieved a call from this number 760-514-0146 yesterday on my cell phone the message said I needed to call this number right away if not good luck and don't erase the meesage. When i called the number the man that answered had a very heavy accent could hardly understand him he said he was from a attorney's office but would not give me any information. I told him that I turned him in to the FBI and he just laughed and told me to call back in the morning if I wanted any information. I don't know if I should change my cell number. I did report the calls to my local sheriff's dept but they said there's not much they could do told me to keep track of the phone calls. Could someone please tell me what I should do this is really scary that someone out there has my personnel information. Please help
