i just recieved a call from a paralegal said i needed an attorney and to call alex watson. i called him he said i was going to jail i could not understand him and he said he was calling about a payday loan i have never had a payday loan before. and my 4 yr old was listening to this man say tomorrow morning i was going to have the cops to my house to take me away. He has all my information like social security number address i am getting scammed i need help to report him

Yes. Total scam.  I had calls from 916-395-0000 and also a man identifying himself as Jimmy Jackson from the number 760-514-0151.  Threatened me with a law suit, VERY heavy accent, very difficult to understand. In my case they identified themselves as a law firm representing Cash Call.  I called Cash Call, they confirmed this is fraud, and after investigating we did determine this is some fly by night outfit that gets numbers and then fools people into believing they are a law firm that now represents your debt.

DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY.  DO NOT NEGOTIATE ANY SETTLEMENTS WITH THEM.  It is fraud.  Contact your bank, your lenders, and give them all the info. Then report to the BBB, etc.

Don't let them spook you. It's just intimidation tactics from criminals.

I am getting the same rude Indian accented people. They have my SS number and a friend's name and phone number. That is what is scarey to me. I also applied for a loan online (like and idiot) and did not like the terms so I canceled the application, so I thought. Now some collection fraud group has my personal information and are trying to extort monies from me. What is funny is that they use American names and are offended if ask if they are from Indian: like they don't think they have an accent. And the way they are attempting to collect a debt is illegal as hell by threatening you. So I will see what transpires with this. My big concern is that they have my SS #.  Scarey!

I received several calls from a Arabic man stating that I have commited fraud and I need to take care of this immediately or I could face jail time. When i ask what this is in regards to, all he says is you have commited fraud. He refuses to tell me where he is located. I told him several times I've never commited any fraud. I hang up on him and he calls back at least 3 times. This morning I received 4 calls from 214-447-7121. The first 2 had no response after I said hello like 3 times. The 3rd call is when the guy asked for me by my married name ( I kept my maiden name, never go by my married last name). I told him that the call is being recorded, he said that is fine and he doesn't care. I told him that I am reporting this number to the police department for harassment, he replied ' Go ahead and call who ever you want, you can call the obama or whoever'. On the 4th call, I had my husband answer, the guy asked for me again, my husband told him that he is with the police department and how can he help him. The guy repeatedly asked to speak with me. My husband told him this call is being investigated and reported for harassment. The guy said that doesn't matter and he will call back again and again. My husband hung up on the guy and hasn't called back. Who knows what these people are up to but a few months ago I went to the local police department to make a report, I was told that they aren't commiting a  crime, they simply know my name and phone number. These people have even contacted my Aunt and my Sister. They also refuse to give them any info and call them on a daily basis. My sister is young & was freightened by the allegations, I told her not to give them any information and let them know you will be contacting the police. I simply don't know what else to do since the police state they aren't doing anything wrong.

Yeah i have been getting phone calls saying i was a reffreance for  my friends they have been calling for for about 9 months now and almost every time they call its from a diff number when they first started calling me it was a oooo number and they would leave meaages on my phone to call them backl and when i did it was a none working number the number they are calling me on me on now is a 202-629-9767 and they say there from Jack Anderson and its a fruad investigation i dont no what to do sure i not worrie about it but like i said they call me from and diff number almost every time and they all so told me they were going to be at my house in 10 minutes to take me to jail and but they when i said ok if your going to be here in 10 minutes whats my address and he got mad and said i dont no what is it and i told him to screw off i was not going to give him any info

These calls are coming from Ryon Gambill who has a few companies, Marauder Corporation, Collection Professionals, Check Protection Systems and The Bill Collector in A Box.

He has a history of phone fraud and harassment.

He got into a lawsuit with a payday loan company and kept all of their files. He has also been sued for illegally downloading Experian and Transunion credit reports.

Now, he's working with these Indian call centers.

If they call you, call him.

His office numbers are (760) 423-1111 (760) 423-1100.

His home address is 75147 La Sierra Drive Palm Desert California 92211.

His email address is rgambill <at> collection-professionals <dot> com.

Michael Carter and Victor Kratz were the two that contacted me and threatened me.  They also called me at work.  I was so glad to see some one else list these phoneys names.

I also received a call from these people.  They said I had 3 lawsuits pending against me and that I would be arrested on Friday if I did not settle this $748.00 bill per VISA or Mastercard immediately. I told them that I could not come up with that kind of money till Monday and they proceded to tell me it would be an additional $150 on Monday.  And if I didn't pay it then it was going to cost me $4400 + court costs.  When I asked for their name and the name of the company they became indignent and said we know where you work and we know how to handle people like you and have a blessed day.  The next day they called me at work. I told them I could not talk to them on my company phone. Then I received several blocked phone numbers on my cell phone.  They called me today and when I told them I would have no dealings with them until the federal trade commision returned my answer as if they were fraud they hung up.  They gave me the name 1st state attorneys office on last Thursday,  then today they said they were National avadavit preparation services. They acknowledged they were the same company who called previously.  Both times they spoke with an Eastern accent, though I am not sure it was real because when I asked for their name their accent became less prominent.

I received a call from a man also indentifying himself as Jimmy Jackson  calling number from 972-244-6648 also they  left a message on my answering machine  stating it was important the  I call them back on 760-514-0151stating that I had not paid back a payday loan and  their client was going futher to have charges brought  against me and I need to have a attorney . It was quite scary  I called a attonery and gave him the information  but they refused to give me the name of the  company  other than cash advance . I asked questions and they  got really rude and talked real fast with a heavy accent. I'm reporting them and the numbers to the attorney generals office, they have contacted me at my job. the person who was giving me all the information saying he was representing his client named himself as Micheal. they are very pushey and he told me I need to listen to him until he finishes then ask questions.  all this will be reported to my attorney and the Attorney General Office  these people need to stopped.

I received a call from this number at my job with a msg not to ignore this that it was extremly important that it was from a law firm. ITS FRAUD/ SCAM. If you receive a call from these arabic people report them!!!

I get these calls constantly - Maybe every 2 hours. This number 760-514-0151 called my work yesterday. I've tried calling back but if and when my call is answered, I ask for the name they told me and I'm disconnected. They are driving me nuts!! I know they're scammers so most of the time I hit the ignore button on my cell. They even had a woman "Officer" call me couple of days ago. I did answer and told her off but it does'nt do any good. They sure are relentless!! They have begun identifying themselves as "officer" so and so now. They should try this hard to work for a real and honest job! Just report them to whom ever will listen I guess. Not much comes of reporting that I can tell but at least you tried.
Good luck to all of you - my fellow "victims".

Jack Anderson and Michael Carter called me up at work today and told me that I was going to be arrested by 5pm today. I was freaked, because I am going through a breakup and thought my ex (who has forgery charges) had gotten into my accounts. Luckily, one of the girls I work for is finishing up law school ;) she overheard me freaking out and got on the phone with them. They hung up on her, but she tried calling back and they kept hanging up on her. She reassured me that no law firm would ever hang up on someone. Your post brings me great peace even though it has been a hassle for both of us. I too could not understand a dang word he said. I asked both of them for their real names and they told me that Jack Anderson and Michael Carter were their real names. Funny...they didn't speak English....

I first got a call from these people on Tuesday morning, stating I owe money to instacash that I never received. The number shows as 0000 and he had a heavy ascent with a very American name. They couldn't provide details, like when I received the payday loan or the date they attempted to get the money back. When I asked for info about instacash so I could talk to them directly they convinetly had someone there, he introduced himself as someone else but slipped up when I asked the same question that I asked the previous person, he say " as I stated earlier I can't give you that info." I busted him out and said " I thought this was a different person. " that's when he got angry. I told him I have bank statement that prove I never received money from any payday group and that I won't be paying any money to them. He states that I owe 900.00+ to them or I can pay the court 8000.00. And that I need to go to the court house on Thursday I asked which one and he said he didn't know. So I hung up. I get a call on Friday saying I have till Monday to resolve this issue and that it is time sensitive. Like we haven't already spoke. This has to be a scam.?!

I have received a scam call from 760-514-0151  This number must also be the same people that call from number 760-860-1515, or  760-514-0124. The same names are used. They call and tell you not to ignore their call.The man said they were calling from Jefferson & Davenport Law firm. The man that contacted me was Mark Anderson and that he was a paralegal for this law firm that was suing me for not paying back a payday loan. It did scare me because I do have pay day loans. He said he needed my attorneys name and phone number. I could not understand this man and asked him to repeat himself or get me someone I could understand. On came the infamous Alexander Brown attorney. I began to ask many questions, the name of the firm, he said "Jefferson & Davenport Assoc. I asked him what city they were in, he said Chulla Vista, California. I asked him for a mailing address and that is when he got very angry and started using profanity.  I told him I was recording the conversation hope he did not mind but my attorney would be calling them back as soon as he did a search on the company. He told me he was going to call my references and my employer.

I knew something was wrong because I was up to date on all my loans. These people sound like arabics, Indians, or whatever, I could not understand them.

I recieved a similar phone call from a Mr Alex Watson and the number they called me from was 17140066000 and the number to call them back on was17605441591. They used the exact same law firm name Jefferson and Associates. They were arab or indian as well and said that they would ruin my credit and social secuity and what not.. They would not give me an adress though. So I  called my payday loan place.. 500FAST CASH 18006013766. They informed me that this is false and not to worry as well as these arab or ndian people do this alot. So I called back the so called lawyers and I told them what 500 fast cash said and the guy said that I was lying and that I need to pay...  Dont fall for this scam people.

These people are calling on my job.. I have no loans I have applied and didnt agree with payback so I refused the loan..now they are calling my place of employment...after reading these messages I am glad that I hung up.....the number I was given is 7605140124. the Alex I spoke with was Parker he was "an Attonery" so he claims I would be picked up on monday by police I told him to send them and hung up.....

My sister recieved a call at work and on cell this morning from 760-514-0154 stating that she did not pay on her loan and they were sending authorities to her home and work tomorrow.  They had her information including her SSN.  The loan company did not know anything about it.  We will wait and see what happens tomorrow but I presume this is a scam.  Whenever we call to ask questions, company name, the phone hangs up.  The person has a strong accent and state they do not want any money.

I also got a message from this company this past Friday, they called and said that it was extremely important for me or my lawyer to give Lawyer Joe Martin a call back.  I called them and a guy with a deep Indian voice answered and told me that I was owing $750.00 to a payday company online and if it was not paid to him immediately, that someone would be coming to my job in 30 minutes to pick me up, I really freaked out.  He was very loud, rude and spoke very fast.  I continued to ask him who did I owe online because I had no knowledge of this, he told me that he cannot give me that information because the case was passed over to his office.  I then informed him that I am not going to give him $750.00 to pay to a company which I have no knowledge of owing , he then told me again that they would be picking me up in 30 minutes and that he would see me in court in three hours.  That really scared the crap out of me because I have never been to jail so I asked if I could come down to his office and look at those paperwork that we was falsely accusing me of owing.  He then told me that he was in California, I am all the way in North Carolina, how was he gonna get to court here in three hours,  that's when I became suspicious and hung up the phone.

I then called my bank who informed me that I no loan came to my account for $750.00 in September of 2009.  I also called the local police in my area and also the Better Business Bureau both in Charlotte and in California.  They could not find any information on the business name that he gave which was firstly "Back Legal Office" for InstaCash online.  I then called him back and pretended that I was from the Police Department and he hung up the phone.  I then called back and pretended that I was calling from a different agency (I know this is wrong but I had to try something else since he wouldn't give it to me) and asked for their office name and address, he then gave me a different name which was "Jefferson and Davenport", he stated that Joe Martin (which was the same guy speaking to me) was out to lunch and asked if I wanted to leave a message.  I asked for the address and he gave me 3275 C St, #111, San Diego, Ca 92324, I then told him to have a good day and hung up.  I then called the BBB in California back and gave them the new information but they still could not find anything.  I am glad that I did not give them anymore information because they had my social and my contacts information.  Beware of these people, they put me through mental hell this morning.


O

It is not 760-514-0151 for me but 619-399-1692.  Last week, I received a voice message on my cell phone from someone with an Indian accent claiming he is from a law office and told me to call him back at 619-399-1692.  Monday, April 5th, 2010, I received the same voice message at my work place with the same message.  I have just barely checked my voice mail when my phone rang again.  It was the same guy with an Indian accent.  He told me he is calling from a law office and that he is collecting for a debt that I owed a payday loan company and that he needed my lawyer’s information.  Although I did recognize the name of the payday loan company, I do not recall owing them $750.38 that the person is alleging I owe.  I asked the person to send me something in writing to support his claim.  His response was, ‘Oh my God, have you not been briefed of this case before?’  I said I did not know what he was talking about and unless he sends me something in writing, that I would not even talk to him.

He got irate and passed me on to yet another irate person.  The second person also had an Indian accent and told me I should be prepared for his team who will come to my employment location, investigate and arrest me.  
He said if I want to settle out of court that I should pay the $750.38 today, as we spoke either by a debit card or a credit card.  Otherwise, it would cost me over $7,000 if I wait for the case to be taken to court.

Today, Tuesday morning, April 6th, 2010, I received yet another voice message from these people.  Then at about 1:00PM I received a call from another person from the firm and he told me I need to call him back at 619-399-1692.  He wanted me to give him my employer’s physical address.  These people are threatening to put me behind bars for the payday loan they allege I owe.  This time I asked for their law firm’s name.  I was told it was Jefferson and Davenport & Associates.  When I asked where they are located, he got irate.  He said if I don’t call him back that he will call my employer’s Human Resources department.

I just received the same phone calls and the same responses from them.  It is nothing but a scam but it has taking me alot of researching it.

The number they left for me is 916-156-2362.  The person I spoke to his Asian.  I asked themto put everything in writing and they hung up on me.  They told me that they would see me Friday afternoon.

This is the number that called me: 9166872974. I had the same experience as the others. I received several calls in a row from this number. I ended up calling it back in order to obtain more information. They said that there had been a loan taken out in my name and that I owed them 959, but that they were suing me for 6,000. He continuously asked me if I had an attorney. I began to get very upset because I have had payday loans in the past and he was telling me that I was violating a law by closing the account that it was coming from without informing all of my creditors that I was closing it, and that I was now responsible for theft by deception and that they were taking me to court by Tuesday. They knew everything about me, my bank account information, my employer, my friends names, everything. I was/still am very concerned because they stated they were going to come to my place of employment and serve me with the subpoenas to appear in court. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do at this point. When I kept repeating that I was confused and didn't know what he was talking about, he ended up telling me that I would have my soc listed on a blacklist and I wouldn't be able to get any credit for 7 years. I am reading now from the others that this is a scam, but I am still just very concerned. He ended up hanging up on me and telling me that I better have my money ready and he'd see me in court. When I tried calling the number back to get more information and further sort whatever this was out, the number couldn't be completed as dialed although it had worked moments earlier when I called it in the first place. I am irate.
