I received one of these calls this morning at about 8:30 in the morning. I returned there call and they had all my information from last 4 of ss and place of work, phone number, banks name etc. Said I was being sued for money that I got for a payday loan I informed this gentlemen that I never received any money from a payday loan. He is of middle eastern decent and would never answer any of my questions. He told me I would get my notice at my work place and be taken to California.

If you get a call from 760-588-2207 it's a total JOKE!  These guys barely speak English and try to spit out debt collecting jargon, it's hilarious.  I gave these guys a total hard time, didn't fall for their, "You took a loan back in June and didn't pay it back" crap.  These guys have been calling me for months changing their name, number, and company that they are calling from.  They've used explicit language with me, ha, like that's going to make them seem more legit!  I've tried everything to get these losers to stop calling me.  I've tried threatening FTC, local authority, and Attorney General lingo on them and nothing. I've tried ignoring them, they keep calling.  I've tried continously telling them they have the wrong number, they keep calling.  I know I don't owe any loan, I never took one. They have my SSN and bank account info, pretty scary....but nothing has been taken out of my account, nor have I had any mysterious debt, so obviously these guys don't have what they need to get to me.  This is a total crock of bull!  Don't fall for any of it!  I'm fed up with their idiotic antics and harrassment so finally, I called my phone carrier and am having my number changed....when I told them I was a victim of internet fraud, they waived the fee.  Hopefully in 2 days I will have heard the END of these jokers!    DON'T SWEAT THESE GUYS THEY ARE IGNORANT TO THE UNITED STATES COLLECTION POLICIES AND ARE COMPLETELY FRAUDULANT!!!  DON'T AGREE, ACKNOWLEDGE, OR PROVIDE THEM WITH ANYTHING!!!!

Total scammers- I think they are from India- they are liars and scammers, and are getting their info from payday loan sites. I took out 100 dollar 2 month ago, paid them back, and when I asked this scammer info, he wouldn't give it to me! Please do NOT give them any info. I am reporting them! When I asked where they were calling from, they said orange county, when I asked what town and law office- they gave me the wrong name.

the same situation has happened to me. they started calling me at work saying i would be arrested if i didnt pay them back for this payday loan . they said the name of the company was instant cash. i asked them how much i owned the first time they said 423.00 dollars the second time was 432.00 dollars they wanted my debit card number which i told them i dont have. then they wanted me to western union the money. i didnt send them any money. please dont fall into there trap. i hope these people will get caught. they even had all my info which i wonder how they got. word to the wise dont feel out anything over the internet it seems like thats how they got my info.

I got a call today (2/25/11) from (310) 359-1213 saying that I was being sued.  I spoke with two guys the first guy gave me the information, that I had a pay day loan that was not paid and that I owed, $1,245.37 and that the company reported the non pay as fraud, and a check scheme.  He told me they were going to serve me papers at work on Tuesday and that I needed to get a lawyer and if we went to court I would end up owing $4500-$6000.  When I asked him the name of the company he couldn't tell me the exact company name but that Instant Cash was the parent company.  He also told me that if I wanted to take care of this situation he would have to transfer me to his supervisor and he did.  His supervisor name was Russell Miller.  Russell aske me a few questions like:

1).  Do you have any cases pending against you
2).  Have you ever been in trouble, is there anyone trying to sue me

He told me to be honest, and that if this situation happened again he wouldn't be able to help me out.  So the conversation went on, he started tell me that I needed to write a letter to his attention and the subject should be payment authorization.  In this letter I was to included my debit/credit card number the expiration date and the 3 digit code on the back of the card.  He also wanted me to be detailed in the letter as far as putting my name the way it appears on my card and also stating that my name the last four of my ss# and that I'm making an application to pay of an outstanding payment of $1,245.37.  At first he told me to fax it to (760) 933-8612, I told him I didn't have a fax.  So he said just email it to DeanJonesacc@gmail.com.  I asked him why am I sending it to a gmail account that it didn't sound professional.  He said they only have personal emails so he strongly suggest me sending the information to the fax.  He also wanted a copy of my driver's license.  Then he told me the that the letter was going to the accounting department and they will contact him if its approved.    The connection was very bad the phone would break up, people where talking, and I could here car doors closing and the alarms going off.  Both guys had strong accents and were trying very hard to be professional and sound like they hard authority.  The more questions I ask the more upset they got  

At first they had me but I just couldn't figure out who I owed money to and hadn't paid.  I told Russell to give me two hours and I would send him the information.  He called me back at 130 this time my husband talked to him.  They went back a forth for a few minutes but once my husband asked the name of his law firm, where were they located, and his staff was from India the guy hung up and hasn't called back since.  The scary thing is that his has our home address, my cell number, my work location, my email address, my social security number, my bank information, and he even knew my previous address.  I was told that they are getting this information from teletrac.  On Monday, I will be reporting this to the sheriff's department, the credit bureau's, and my credit union.

He also told me he was a lawyer and that his law office was in Orange County.  But the first guy I talked to called me from a 310 number and when he transferred me to Russell the phone hung up.  Russell calls me back but he's calling me from a 760 number and the fax number I was giving is a 206 number.  That right there told me this is a scam.  I'm so glad I didn't send them any information.  But the scary thing is they already had a lot of my information.

This rang my cell phone as 0000 and then my business line as 0000.  The caller left a voice message for me to call a "Ryan Davis" (heavy Indian accent) at 310-359-1213, or my attorney of record, blah blah, and wished me luck as the "situation unfolds around you". After researching this number online, I can only assume this is some bad internet debt collection scam. You'd think these nutballs would use a different script after a while.

I received one of these calls this morning at about 7:30 in the morning. I returned there call and they had all my information from last 4 of ss and place of work, phone number, banks name etc. Said I was being sued for over $3000.00 for money that I got for a payday loan I informed this gentlemen that I never received any money from a payday loan. He is of middle eastern decent and would never answer any of my questions. He told me I would get my notice at my work place and be taken to California.

I've put down my name as John Smith for the reason of, if they are also reading this I don't want them to know who I am when is all said and done. Everyone here are also getting the same messages and phone calls as I am, and they calm to have all of our info. I always thought that anyone who has your information without your consent was against the law. If they command that you pay at once, don't. If you would like to have these people stop calling you, and still have your number, call them back, tell them that you don't know who ??????? is and give them a Different Name. Its kinda funny, but they will stop calling you.

I started recieving these phone calls also on Sat 01/22/11   and the first thing I told  the guy was I will have her call you back. So I imeediately called back and they want a case number. The guy was rude and condescending when I told him he was calling beofre 8 am and that it would be reported. The guy kept telling me I was being sued by some payday loan type company which have never done before. Whe I consistently asked to speak to someone who could speak clear english and without all the background noise he became very agitated. They called again at 630 am on Monday and left a threatening message . I called back immediately and told them i would be reporting that call also . When I asked for a phone number to the place of business I supposedly was in trouble with tyhey could not produce the number . He kept asking if I had hired a lawyer . When I got upset and raised my voice and told him if he was so set on sueing me to go right ahead and have me served paperwork. he told me I would not be contacted again and hung up.  .I can only assume this is a scam. However it is scary that they have so much of my info.

I recieved a phone call from the 760-933-8612 and they were east indian the person that called me was David Cooper. I kept asking what the name of the company was and he kept talking fast and I got bits and pieces. He then told me about a pay day loan I did that when they went to take the payment my account was closed and he gave me the last 4 digits of the account number. I told him that number was not mine but I did not give him the correct one even though he knew my bank account. He then said that on Friday 1/28 someone would be coming to my job for a court order to have me pay what started as 500 was now around 3k. First of all he called me on my job. Second he stated that because I used my email from my job it gave them the authority to come to my job?? He then gave me a case number that he said was filed with the Los Angeles Superior court. Of course I called and they said they have nothing on me. Everytime I asked to speak to a supervisor I was told he would not know anything or they would hang up. Then I would call back and I would get PLEASE CALL BACK LATER. Just today the message changed to THE PERSON AT THIS NUMBER'S MAILBOX IS FULL. First of all the number was not to the person becuase each time different people would call. I told them I never recieved anything in the mail, nor did I get anything in writing. He then told me that in the fine print It says they only send emails. First of all there was no fine print becuase I did not get a loan. I checked with my bank and we looked at everything and there was nothing there. I cant tell you how mad I am. But I am glad I did not give our any information other than what they have. Of course they kept saying they were a law firm debt collection.

I received two calls from this number today . . .Very rude indian accent saying for my attorney to call him back wishing me luck like a threat!! I answered the second time told him I work for a police agency and to NOT call my number again!!!!

I have been receiving calls from 916-395-0000 for some time now. I always hang up and they call right back and now they are calling my job and leaving messages about calling back with my attorney or me calling back or suffer the consequence. It is a middle eastern accent and its sad but another company tried doing the same thing to me saying that I owe money to some pay day company and when I called everyone I could find online they had no record of me having a loan now someone claming to be 760 933 8612 is calling me. I refuse to call them back or take any call from them because the first company stole money out of my account and I will not be scammed twice. I will report them to the FBI and the BBB and anyone else I have to so that this can be stopped.

Got a voice message from this guy. Said his name was Rudy Thompson. I couldn't understand the company he was from. He made sure to speak more clearly when he was saying "Legal Department". His message said that legal action was being taken against me and my social security number and that if I didn't return his call, all he could say was good luck to me as everything would unfold against me. I googled the number and found this thread. He does have an accent and he is hard to understand. Although, again, he speaks clearly enough when leaving his phone number and the title Legal Department.

These people are Indian accent and speak very broken English that you can barely understand!  They are threatening us, and calling my husbands work as well.  We do not owe these people any money as they claim.  They are saying that they are going to get the police involved.  The proper way is IF the company is legit, they will send you a collection letter about any monies due; in which they are not.  I have found that these people are scammers.  They also need to go back to their own country and STOP harrassing honest Americans.  They DO NOT give the name of their company.  They are also calling BEFORE 8 am my time.  I am going to report this, because I did find out that there are companies trying to get these people investigated, and possible proscuted!      I do not like to be woken up when mu husband gets off work after 2 am, and then bed by 4 or 5 am.  This is uncalled for.  Need more people to report these scammers to maybe the FBI, not sure who to turn them in, but will find out and as soon I we do, they will be turned in!

got a call and could hardly understand him.  Was told  a crimnal suit was goingto be filed against me................Had my name and last 4 social.............told me I must call 760 933 8612  right away  or else he can not help me..........and to have a good day?????????????I am sure this must be some criminal act..................................

I received the same basic calls as others previously posted, except they claimed to be from the California Department of Law Enforcement. They threatened to have me hauled off to jail for 3 criminal charges. This was my last chance to set the record straight. All I needed to do to resolve the criminal manner was to provide them with a faxed letter, stating I wished to resolve the matter and have agreed to pay the money owed plus collection fees, and court administrative fees to date. Then give them my credit card number and this would all go away.

I asked them to provide me with the court document number, original creditor name, copies of original loan documents, proof of ACH bank transfer to my account, as well as proof of my NSF from my bank. The man told me he needed to pull my file and placed me on hold. Somehow, we were disconnected during this process. So, I called back and got a voicemail that said all lines were busy and to try back again later.

i had the SAME person call me had me crying thinking here i am going to jail for something unpaid that i didnt even know about. could not understand anything they said because they did not speak good english. he said his name was Robin Ross. i called my bank right away and they looked up all my records of direct deposits and there where none from anything other than my job. there was never any effort of them taken money out. i called the cops and let them know about what was going on too. this is a horrible thing that happen and i really think this needs to stop.

i had an hour to kill today so i called this number 80 times in a row.  when someone answered, i hung up and dialed back.  i also dialed 760-933-1508, 760-933-1507, 760-453-0486, 760-412-5033 & 760-933-8136.  don't be afraid of these guys.  they are con artists but they really suck at it.

i got this very same call but the thing is i have never taken out a loan i have applied for them but never got went through with it so my question is what is the outcome of this call what do ther actually do

This person called me saying the exact same thing, as John up there, he first called me from the phone number 916-395-0000, said that I must call him back at the 760 number and that I must have my lawyer call as well. They had my information name phone number, place of work and everything yet no proof of anything.

This person called me telling me that he is a lawyer and that he represents a EZ Payday loans in california and I will be sued, prosicuted, jailed, etc... He is of middle eastern decent and very rude....when I challenged the info he hung up on me..... This is the number he called from and this needs to be stopped..
