I have been receiving calls from 714-514-170 alleging to be Nash Brown an attorney for the department of federal justice.  I was told if I do not pay them $300.0 I would be arrested for failing to pay a payday loan that was deposited in my account.  He had my social security number and all my personal data.  I have been getting calls from this number as early as of 7:00 a.m. Pacific time and they are now leaving messages with my children stating that I will be arrested if I fail to pay or call them.  When I call them they refuse to provide me with an address so I can mail them a letter stating that I want them to stop harrassing me.

Someone help, I have been constantly getting phone calls from a 760-514-0170 number all morning. They claim that I owe 300.00 from a loan I applied for online. I never go this loan but they keep harassing me and state that the loan was electronically deposited into my account. Now they are saying I need to go to court in another county that I am hours away from to handle this matter. This gentleman has a middle eastern accent and is now calling me at work! This is totally unprofessional, and stressful that I am getting harassed at my place of employment. What do I do??

Yes I have been getting the same calls from this number and now I have actually let them do a transaction to my debit card.  When I recieved the info on the withdrawl amount it was from Las Vegas.  I returned a call back after they debited my account and ask a few more questions that they could not answer SCAM.......  Its all over the web I should have known better.  I am very upset at this issue. I now have to file a police report and a complaint to the attorney general from my state.  My identity has been stolen.  I am so worried...  DO NOT LET THEM GET TO YOU.  it is too late for me but please just hang up the phone and file a complaint.

i got numerous calls at my job and on my cell from 760.514.0170 & 646.328.5057 his name is harold johnson attempting to collect a debt from an online loan. I know my rights and these people need to be stopped. He would know ur info. and identity but when I asked him to fax me visual proof he denies me the comsumers right.  BEWARE

They claim to be attornies and work for the Californiia Superior court. They claim they have filed a case in California. I asked for their license info and the case to be faxed to me , they said they could  not.

they are harresing me now and than they are abusing me my suggestion to everyone dont pay single penny to them they scams frauds.......

A man with a broken accent called my number.   He said I was in serious trouble with the law, and that I needed to return the call immediately or else I'd be in a lot of trouble ....the phone number he gave was 760-514-0172.  He said he had my social security number, so they would follow up with my case.  He gave no name and no corporation name, nor where he was from.

These people is calling me and my job stating I owe on a lone i never aspected.I need these people cough also how can I get them to stop calling me and my job ?

I also received a call from a 760 514 0171 from a guy with a heavy accent, barely understand what he is saying but he claimed to have monies for me from an application I made online and asked for an account number to which I told him I would call him I never did.  I asked for detailed information as to what the monies were for and the guy just mumbling words, I asked to speak to a supervisor and he started getting nasty so I hang up.   Two (2) weeks after I received another call from the same guy who left me a message that I would be in legal problems if I did not return his call and provided him with the information he needed.  I called the number back and asked where was I calling and the guy answered and just kept saying: what is your name but would not say anything else.   I could not understand the name of company he claims to be with.

i have been called 5 or 6 times in a row today and was told that i would be in big legal trouble if i didnt pay $239 to them today. i was told that i would have my social security number red tagged and i would lose my job. the guys name is david taylor. when i called them back they told me my full name, social security number, bank account number, emial address, drivers licencse number, and mailing address. i told them i wanted to know who i owed the money to and all he would say is he cant give me the number until i either paid the money or came to court in san francisco, cal. i told them i live on the other side of the country and i wasnt coming to cal. then he threatened me by telling me i would lose my job and stuff. i spoke with an attorney general and he advised me that it is a scam and that i shouldnt worry

I received a call from this number 760-514-0170 stating that they were from the Federal Department and that I have a case against me.His name he used was Rocky Ramos and he called my place of Employment. Is there any thing that can be done to stop these people I know this can't be legal. Whomever u are u are going to be in BIG TROUBLE when they find out who you all are.

VERY rude... I work for Law Enforcement and they are calling me at work. When I told him it was a scam and I knew it was a scam and I worked for Law Enforcement he cursed me and told me he didn't care about where I worked and didn't care even if I worked for the FBI.
They did this about 6 months ago also
Refuses to fax or mail me any paper work showing proof of any loans.
Knew my DOB, SOC, Email and home address's

From Lamet's post:

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:

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 have been getting calls from 760-514-0170 for the last 3 weeks.  They are indeed a group of scammers that live outside of the US.  I have contacted everyone that I possibly can such as:
The Federal Trade Commission
The Better Business Bureau
The Federal Communications Commission
The Federal Bureau of Investigations
The California City Police Department- The area code of the number given comes from the California City, CA area
My Local Police

They told me pretty much the same thing.  It is a scam, they know about it, and to make sure to put a fraud alert to one of the 3 credit bureaus.  Make sure to also contact your bank, any references you have ever listed on a loan or credit application, and most importantly your employer!  They frequently call my work and leave messages saying I am in legal trouble.  Inform your boss or supervisor, so they understand what is going on.  

The calls can get very threatening too.  I was told that they were going to f*ck me, f*ck my family, and come to my work to take me away.  They also threatened to get me fired.  Don't argue with these people or give them any personal information.  I called once and I was told the guy on the other end was a janitor once I started asking too many questions.  The second time I called and asked specifically for the man that called me, "David Cooper."  The guy acted like he was yelling for "David," but when "David" got on the phone it was obviously the same guy.  They speak in very thick accents and very fast.  I told them that I had contacted everyone on the list above and that is when the serious threats started flying.  The funny part is this.... I never gave him my name or any sort of identifying info when calling.  Never give them any information.  You don't even have to give them your name, they don't care.  I also suggest not calling from any number that is different from the one they are calling you on.  Most likely they are using multiple untraceable cell phones or a VOIP program such as Skype.   They probably have caller ID.  This will of course give them another number where they can harass you at.  

Good luck!

I received a call from this number, 760-5140170 this morning, 07/20 from a person who said his name is Mike.  The message he left was telling me I was approved form a 2000 dollar loan at an intrest rate of 2.23% I applied for on line.  First he said he was with Payroll Advance and then changed it to USA Credit.  All I had to do to get the money is call their HOT LINE AT 718-873-9121 to get my voice recorded and they would deposit the money into my bank account within 24 hours.  In the past the calls got from this number they were telling me i owed money and if I didn't pay them i would be in big legal trouble lose my job and go to jail.

He has been calling for the past two months, this time he said he was from the FBI, and that if I ignored him I would be in big trouble,he has a very heavy accent. He left this number 760-514-0170, and said this was of extreme importance. I just want to be left alone what should I do??

Omg..they call me on my cell and at work!! What can i do??
They call from the following numbers:
713-568-1355
760-514-0170
718-873-9121
They say i owe a company named International Cash.. I have no idea who that is.

received a call from 760-514-0170 threatening that if I didn't show at at the california court today- Saturday @ 11 I would be in big trouble. person speaking was mr. davis. After arguing with me for a while demanding the money plus fees from a "payday" loan I never applied or received he refused to send me any paperwork to substantiate it- they are paperless, I demanded to get the name and number of the original loan company. He gave me a number of 718-873-9121 to speak with a john Anderson (by the way both persons w/ indian/pakistani accents). I called the NY # (718), after 5 rings person answered the phone (sounded like he was home), no professional background/office noise. Reporting to NY attorney general office.

I got a call from a 760-514-0170 Jack Davis which told me that me and my family would be in big trouble if I didnt pay them and for me to be careful and get behind the bus  they have called me at work too.  These frickin stupids Someone called a few months ago and when i asked for more details of what they were talking about they said I could either pay the debt or go to court for an unpaid debt.  How do I stop these idiots

They have called me repeatedly and told me I am going to be in legal trouble if I didn't pay them.  Did I want to pay them or have legal trouble?  They claim I guaranteed a loan for a person and that I owed it plus $150.00 in fees.  How do I get them to stop calling?

Yup, Scammers. I got a bunch of calls from the "United Financial Crime Division" a few months ago. I was told repeatedly that I was going to be arrested the next day if i didn't pay what I owe. I never even took out a payday loan in my life! But I have applied for one online and apparently that is how they get your personal info. Very scary. I report every call from these bozos to FTC. I have also reported them online to the FBI. They contacted me immediately after filing and I explained the situation over the phone. The agent informed me this is an on-going scam and that I should continue to report each call to the FTC, when they leave a threatening message, and just ignore all calls from them. They are SCAMMERS so don't pay them a cent!! If you're worried you may actually have a really old loan unpaid, then contact the credit buerua. They will tell you if a there's actually money owed.

I had a Lisa Row if that's her name call me from a (760) 514-0171 number also.... Pleas report them to the FBI...

I keep getting harrassing calls from a hardy brown and a john smith threatning me and swearing at me i cant take it anymore they have my social and all my information they call at all times of the day this needs to stop. please help..

I had recieved hundreds of calls from this group of scammers, literally, months ago. They finally quit calling, then yesterday they started calling again.  They use different names every time they call and are very unprofessional. If you don't tell them what they want to know they start cussing you and yelling then they finally hang up just to start calling back again. Some of the names they have used are John Smith, Lance Smith and Keith Jones. They all have very common american names but all have very thick indian accents. I have had them investigated and they are a scam. They have threstened to have my kids taken away even though I don't have kids, I let on like I did though. They have identified their company as Affidavit Processing Services on one occasion and Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans on another occasion. Everybody beware of these calls and don't give out any of your personal info.

I just got a voice mail from a man called himself James Cain and heavy accent - said if I didn't call him back I will be in big trouble.  I got calls from another number before an and this man sounds the same.  Now I know it is a scam.

I just go the same call.  who did you report it to

I recieved a call from these people at my job.  They called me twice on 6-15-2010 at work wanting to talk about this supposed loan I got in January of 2009.  I told them I was at work and they just kept insisting that I pay them money or I was going to be in trouble.  I did not take out a loan with these people and I have already filed a report with the arkansas attorney general and will also be filing with the FBI now as well.  I need to get these people to quit calling my job.

Watch out for these people they also call on phone number 760 514-0171 why can't they be caught
