I also received over 5 calls from this number in less than 10 minutes, with very threatening words on returning the call or else I would be in big trouble - ending with God Bless me if I don't respond. Also in a very heavy eastern accent and definitely not the way to get anyone to respond to this call with threats.

I have received calls from them and have went to my police dept. and filed charges. i have had identity theft 3 times in the last year and was from them.Each time they call they have my new bank account info so have went to the bbb and found they are international extortionists. was told to report to local police, FBI, BBB, and the FTC

we have answered every phone call and me and my son have threatned them and cussed em out.

I keep getting call from 760-514-0176, and they  keep telling me there is a lawsuit against me. For what I do not know. The man had a heavy middle eastern accent, and seemed kinda strange. I guess some people do anything to steal money from people. Also the guy never said what company he was from either!

I just received a call from a number asking me to call the above number.  They claimed that they were attorneys from the United Nations.  What really got my dander up was the fact that they were calling for my sister and I stated that she wasn't home.  When I told them that they preceeded to tell me her social security number, which is against collection laws.

This is an online loan scam. These guys are from Pakistan or Sri Lanka. My friend got on line and applied for a loan through Cash Connect (????). I heard the message they left on the VM so I called them back and harassed them for about an hour just to give them a taste of their own medicine. They all used American names like Rick Ricardo, John Conner, James Simpson, Kevin Scott etc......I just kept calling their numbers (510-722-6054 is one of theirs also) constantly for an hour giving them all sorts of grief. I think they actually got my friend's bank account for about $600.00. Just call them up, get all your friends to call them up and just harass them back. They're idiots and they hate it! LMFAO!

i recieved the same call. yet they will not tell me anything.

I just received a call from this # as well and so did my daughter, she played their message back to me and it too was very threatening stating I was trying to defraud the US Government! Same voice as well, middle eastern. The message left to me was basically the same stating God help you if you dont respond!

I recieved a call from this number as well and they told me I had to go to to supreme court in California for a payday which I never applied for or recieved for that matter they were very rude and threatening me also, and they had some of my personal information not sure how they got a hold of that.

Just got 10 calls from this number is less than 20 minutes.  I finally answered and it was someone with a thick middle eastern accent.  I could not understand a word and told them not to call again.  Immediately after I hung up they called two more times in a row.  In all they left 3 messages that did not have anything but static on the line.  I don't know who they are or what they want, but it is a little shady to me.

well it will not be long I work for a collection co in az as a skip tracer we find money homes cars and i will find these people as well I have trace 3 phone no# back to California and Nevada they are useing a hopper of just a phone card from the US that can be bought any were in the world to call the US international phone cards are untraceable or hard to trace but hopper can be back track we will find them

i recieved the same messages, but from 2 other numbers also. they have all my information. they were making threats to me. when they directed me to an attorney, when i told them it wasn't me and i had filed bankrup. they said never mind it must have been a mistake

OMG this totally happened to me today.  I was going to be charged with 3 felonies and all this other craziness.  They had my bank account number, my work information and they called me at work.  It freaked me out.  I am so glad I looked the number up here and was able to determine it was a scam.  They said it was from an internet loan that I got in Sept 2009.  The account they claimed it was deposited in was not opened unitl 2010.  It freaked me out but I know it is a scam.  Now I have to change my account information.  UGH!

I have also received calls from this number but the initial caller ID shows a number +7 (605) 140-14-6
They have called more than 25 times daily and when it appears in my voice mail there is no message and the number appears different as (760) 514-0176
I called back and it was a mid-eastern sounding gentlemen who knew the last 4 digits of my social security number, shouted profanities at me and told me I deceitfully stole money and if not paid by the 20th of July the authorities are tracking me down to take me to prison and put me on trial for theft.
When I asked WTF they are talking about they would give no further information.
Crazy and scary! has anyone else experienced this with them knowing your SS digits?

I am receiving the phone calls again from these people stating his name is Eric Clark and told me that the company suing me is United Nations on behave of cash connect never heard of them. Gave me another number to call which is 510 722 6054 but all the time I was being put on silence and you could hear someone in the back ground helping this Eric.

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.)

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.
