When you angry look so beautiful iam a big fan of you you nice played.

I got a call from 713-510-4570 same old Shane Watson. Notified the police and made him speak to an officer. He hung up real fast.

I just received a call from phone number 347-431-0267 from SHANE WATSON OF THE FEDERAL REPOSITORY and he stated there were three attorneys listening and monitoring the call.  He then went on to say that I had a payday loan balance outstanding of $1000.  Problem is, I never had a payday loan for $1000.  He stated there is a court proceeding in federal court against me tomorrow so he wanted to make me aware of it.  

I have had many of these phone calls from indians.  I don't pay them, have closed the bank account they had the number for and am going to change my cell number as soon as I move.  

I wish this scam didn't happen to anyone, but I know people do pay them.  They are full of bologna.  Think, people...have you ever met an indian with the name Shane Watson?  C'mon...they must really think our nation is a bunch of idiots!

Good morning,
I did not receive a call from 772-209-7540, but did receive a call from 347-431-0267 SHANE WATSON claiming he was from LPD Legal processing division out of New York City on Monday, August 13. He had a thick asian indian or middle eastern accent. He claimed he had a lawsuit against me and that I owed money from payday loans between 2009-2011. I was scared and really did not know what he was talking about. Fortunately my husband was there and while I was talking on the phone, he did internet research on him. When I started asking questions, he got angry and very rude. He refused to take an EFT payment from bank account, and insisted I make the payments with a pre-paid wal-mart cash card (no-record of the payment) and refused to send the payment contract or copy of the lawsuit against me. My husband and I knew he was a fraud. The following evening he sent me 11 angry voicemails - really! Now this is harrassment. I deleted the voicemails and changed my phone number. Fortunately I did not send him any money and reported him to the authorities. I hope this posting helps other people avoid  this guy.

I received a phone call he never gave me his name just his badge number and told me that i was being charged for check fraud and two other things and that if i owed $700 but if i paid him right then and there then all i would owe is $500 it was scary because he knew all my information including my soc n id number but i knew something was strange because i said since when did police officers call people to collect money for a payday loan that i never took out. I told me to take him to court he said i would have to pay $ 15,000 just to go i laughed he got mad and hung up on me.
He called my job haraassing me and my co-workers. He called from a 607 area code and a 818 area code keeps calling my phone and leaving me voicemails stating that they are going to take legal action if i dont call them back. Im so glad for this information and am happy i did not give them any money.

Is this one of the numbers that s a fraud line
347-269-0834

A man with a thick accent called me to tell me if I didn't make a payment for a bank fraud I would be arrested. The caller Id read 904-563-3860 his call back 772-209-7540. This is a scam...dont send them any money!

Bank Fraud>>>>>>>> There was a so called Detective Sheen Watson Called supposed to be working for the United County Department, that said I have commited bank fraud, and I need to reference the last four numbers of my Social security number. That is false I called Lancater county Sherrif department  where i am from and they said I would be notified via certified mail or through the police and they have nothing and this comes up as a bogus number. It scared me to death but the detictive I spoke with said this is definately a scam and that I would eventually get into a shouting match with them and then they tell you that you either have to pay it or go to jail.......Please be careful......the number he callled from is 772-209-7540

this guy has been calling me from too.  He has more jobs than a jamacian.  So offense.  He claims to be a collection agent from a law firm.  He was a recovery agent, now he is a what?  I wish they would catch these bastard and proscecute to the fulliest of the law.

His accent was so thick that I had to tell him that I couldn't understand him, which really ticked him off. Wait till he finds out that my daughter runs the Fraud Unit for the Nevada Attorney General.

They are scam artists working out of India. Call the police. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!. For fun sign the phone number up for everything you fond on the net. Use my name Matt Mathison. I call to see if I have any messges, they really like that.

Yes these are scam artists working out of India. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY. Call the police.

I got the same letter.  It was obviously written by a foreigner.

I am constantly receiving phone calls but today I received an email informing me they - "U.S. Dept of Justice, United States of Attorney District Florida - Sunrise, Florida", sent me a FINAL NOTICE BEFORE LEGAL ACTION.  They tell me they have also sent this to my employer. How embarassing to try and explain this is a SCAM!!!

Just received an email from this place. Claimed that if I don't pay an original pay day loan of $490 from 2006 that is now 880 will call my place of business and file a case against me.

I was about to forget:   I make a copy of this blog and the police officers take it as a prove of the identity theft   so  every body could use this as well.

I was called as well from Mr. Shane Watson from the "United Investigations Dept."  and he told me I'll be arrested at my job the next day for fraud of a payday loan (I have ever had one of this). He knew my social security, my bank account number and all my personal information including my wife's name.  I got scared and call the police because he said the JAO officer will be in my door next day, but I found a lot of irregularities in my bank account so they make a fraud investigation and a identity theft agains Mr. Shane watson.  I hope they found him soon and thanks to the person who post the steps to follow against this person  because you can count that I'm gonna follow this step plus the investigation I already have.   Thanks and have a blessed day

I was just called as well from this person.  I immediately sent on a tip to the FBI.  It was pretty much the same message JC above was getting.  This is ridiculous!  I have been getting these calls off and on for about 3 months now.  I will ignore their calls and it will stop for a while and then it randomly starts back up.  I am not dealing with it anymore!  The first time it started to happen, I called them back repeatedly until they basically blocked my number.

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.

To be honest with you this guy scares me and I have filed a complaint with the FTC and this is the information I just sent to the FBI:

I received a voicemail on Thursday April 1, 2010 at 6:43 PM.  It was a man with a thick Indian accent stating his name was Shane Watson and that he was calling from United Federal Investigations.  He stated that it is a banking fraud case that has been taken against my social security number which he listed the last 4 digits of my ss#.  He said that I need to contact him back before he took action against me at my workplace (Cummins which he mispronounced).  He stated that I needed to call him back at 818-495-2412 and that it was urgent I do so because if I didn't return his call all he could do was "Wish me a good luck." I decided to call my voicemail at work and he had called there at 6:41 PM and left a threatening message that stated "This is officer Shane Watson calling from United Federal County Department.  I'm calling regarding a banking fraud case.  It is urgent that you reach me before we take action against you at your workplace. I'm going to reach your manager and send the documentation regarding this banking fraud case.  This is a banking fraud case and it is urgent that you reach me before we take this to the courts. You can reach me at 818-495-2412. If you don't call me back all I can do is wish you a Good Luck." Okay, the message on my cell phone listed the last four digits of my social security and the message left on my work phone vm threatened to contact my manager and send my manager the documentation for this banking fraud case.  From everything that I can see this is a scam and illegal (he isn't allowed to send my manager personal information about whatever is he?). The number on my caller ID was 772-209-7540 but he said to call him back at 818-495-2412.  I researched the numbers online and was directed to file complaints with the FTC, Secret Service, FBI, and local law enforcement.  I have filed a complaint so far with the FTC and now the FBI.  I have been receiving calls like this for over two months now but this is the first time in two years that they have used my social security number and threatened to call my manager at work.  I can NOT lose my job b/c I am a single parent supporting myself and my 5 year old son and to be honest with you this scares me to death that they have so much information about me. I have taken out Internet Payday Loans in the past and paid them back and am currently working with a debt solutions group to pay remaining IPL's back that i had taken out last year and still owe on but I am in constant contact with the group I am working with and they have contaced the IPL's that I still owe and we are working with them to pay them off.  Whatever this Shane Watson is after has to relate to the same group that has been contacting me off and on for the last 4 years.  In August 2006 they scared me so much that I did pay them $460 and again paid them $220 in July and August of 2008 which was not good to do after I researched things online and found out that it is a scam but they had threatened me with being arrested at my home or workplace.  I was scared so I scraped together some money and sent it to them via Western Union.  Now I know better and have just been ignoring the calls as instructed by group I am working with.  I will say that in the past 3 months I have been contaced by:

Jeff Marsh - 2x's on 2/11/10 and on 3/3/10, number left to call back on February calls was 424-744-4002 - saying he was United Legal Investigations Department and that my social security number had been blocked by the US Government and that harsh legal action was going to be taken against me. The March 3rd call stated that either myself of my retained attorney of record needed to call him back and that this issue was extremely time-sensitive. The number the 3/3 call came up on my caller ID as 'Unknown' but the number he stated to call back was 724-365-9968. He referred to his call back number as his 'hotline'.  He said that if I didn't return his call all he could with me was Good Luck as the situation unfolds on me.

Gary Thomas - 2/23/10, number left to call back was 646-461-3892 and left similar message to Jeff Marsh message.

Robert Smith - 2/24/10 - number left to call back was 610-713-8130 and left similar message to Gary and Jeff messages.

Ray Levinth(sp?) - 2 x's on 3/3/10, 1st call number came up on caller ID as 'Unknown' the second call came up as 610-437-7751.  He stated that he was calling from United Law and Legal Department and that his name was Office Ray Levinth.  He said that a lawsuit had been filed and that my social security number was currently being blocked by US Government and that this was 'extremely time-sensitive' and that I needed to call him back before harsh legal action was taken against me.  The number he left to call back was 610-713-8130.

Jeff Williams - this is a transcript of the VM he left me - "Hi Jodie my name is Jeff Williams and I'm calling you from ACS. Its a Debit Consolidation Services. This is just to inform you that there is a finance company considering taking action against you and your name and social security number has been listed as a primary subject for downloading a case incident. So it would be in your favor to give me a call and bring a settlement to this issue before it turns into a serious problem for you. My number is 646-810-8635. I repeat the number 646-810-8635. To take care of this matter before it turns into great hassle for you. Thank You and have a safe day." This Jeff Williams called several times and left similar message over the next week.  Two on 3/26/10 at 10:02 AM and 5:18 PM, 3/27/10 at 9:08 AM but before actually leaving a message on 3/27 he called 5 x's in a row and hung up before actually leaving a message, and 3/29/10 at 7:31 PM. All of these numbers came up on my caller ID as either 20855790310 or 64622498840 - which didn't make sense to me because they weren't valid numbers in the first place and didn't come up as international calls eithers.

I know that I'm not the only one having issues with these types of calls and I understand that there isn't much that can be done but I just want it to be on record in case there is some form of action that I can take to just make them stop. I am doing what I can to pay my bills and pay off old medical bills and credit cards and if I owe something I will do my best to pay on it but this isn't legitimate and they scare me and make me nervous.  Please contact me if you have any questions or need further information.  If you have any advice as to how to deal with these calls I would appreciate hearing it.  

Thanks for your time!

-Jodie Coomer

It is illegal for them to be calling and leaving personal information on voicemail and to be threatening to send personal information to your managers, etc. or workplace unless they have civil court documentation that your pay is to be docked.  I just wish they'd stop.

we are receiving harrassing and profanity filled calls constantly from this number as well as 818-495-2412 and 818-495-2414 - all from the same gentleman "Shane Watson" supposedly regarding "bank fraud" and our liability for an employee.

Please read below...this is an email I received from this Shane Watson, and also what I wrote back...Please note that everything I wrote in my email was true...I did call the Indio Ca Police Dept, and there is no street with this name.  Also Google the Zip Code, it is for Balt MD...I am just very mad at my self that I gave them any...I am also very serious about doing everything I can to stop this...Let me know if anyone need any more info...BUT DONT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY...I will gladly forward this email to anyone that needs it for proof!!!!!

Shane,
thanks for sending me this email.  With this email I now know that I have been scammed for $467.  Thanks for sending this fake receipt with a fake address, I contacted the Indio Ca police dept and they told me that there is no street in Indio Ca with the name South Side Blvd, and your not even smart enough to get the Zip Code right, that is a Zip Code for Baltimore MD, now...when the police come to get me like you said I can show them this fake receipt, so you have given me all the proof I need.  Thank you also for the the laughs as I read your email and see that clearly you can not spell or write.
Please do not contact me anymore about this, you got me for $467 and you will not get another dollar from me.  I am also forwarding this email to my local police dept as well as the Indio Ca, police dept, and posting this on the internet to show everyone else that you have harassed that you are a scam artist...do yourself a BIG FAVOR and Google yourself and
your phone number...how long did you think this could last.
You have inspired me and for that I thank you...I will make it my personal biz to make sure this doesn't happen again to anyone and YOU will go to jail!!!

Look for this on the internet...I will let you know where I posted it!!!!

Thanks Joe Gasparino

you must report them as instructed in EC's post.

NO government agency can stop them if no one is BOTHERING TO REPORT THEM!

Keep in mind they may be from another country which makes it harder to catch them


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.)

this guy has been calling me from too.  He has more jobs than a jamacian.  So offense.  He claims to be a collection agent from a law firm.  He was a recovery agent, now he is a what?  I wish they would catch these b*****d and proscecute to the fulliest of the law.

I recently checked my voice mail at work and a Mr. shane Watson left a message and says i need to call him immediately because i have committed bank fraud and they are turning in over to the nj attorney general office.  I wish that someone would stop these people from calling and harrassing other people.  they do this every so often to.  they see you are not falling for your game and then they come back again and again.  they need to bee stopped.  like the other say heavy indian accent and you can tell they are calling from over seas.

I received a phone call at work today from a man identifying himself as Shane Watson from some type of investigation company.  He spoke with a heavy accent, and it was hard to understad everything he was saying.  He had asked to speak to my supervisor, but they put the call through to me.  He accused me of check fraud.  He knew my SS # and that I banked with Commerce Bank.  He also said I had done this over the internet, and rattled off my IP address.  He said I took a loan from Cashenet in 2006 for $500 and that I now owed $820.  I argued with him that I never had a loan with Cashnet, but he wouldn't listen to me.  He refused to listen to me, and I ended up haning up on him.
Not one minute later, my supervisor received a phone call.  As I was in earshot, I knew it was the same man.  I'm thinking, "It's illegal for debt collectors to talk to harrass you at work or talk to co-workers about me."  My supervisor passed the call to his supervisor.  She called me into her office while she spoke to him on the phone. She told me that he was threatening to come to my place of employment and arrest me, go through their comuputers, etc. He was asking her my work shcedule, hours I worked, etc.  
She did not give him any information, but tried to give him a number for Human Resources.  He hung up on her.  She then spoke to her supervisor, who said he had seen a news report about this scam, identifying the telephone numbers that were used, and that the person identified himself as SHane Watson.  I immediately contacted my bank to make sure my acount was safe.  Interstingly enough, when I got home I checked my telephone messages, and he had called my house phone and left a message.  This is not first time he has called me, either. Thank God I never sent them any money.  
How do I go about filing a lawsuit?

I received the same call today from a Officer Shane Watson, he keept calling back and threatening me that he was going to have me arrested at work and that IM breaking the law then he started calling my work and saying I want to speak to the boss ideot we even got the police officer on the phone that took my report and she told him who she was and not to call back in a stern voice and he told her i don't want to talk to you, you ideot, then he continued to call 20 times non stop after that once we hung up the phone he called right back and said your boss ideot. He's a piece of work He's not getting anything from me he wouldn't even tell me who or what he was calling from or for just got mad and said if you think your smart just wait till you get arrested at work then hung up but continued to call back and leave nasty messages.

Yesterday I received the same call in regard to a bank account that I had a balance of $950.00. I called to the bank I had originally opened and the amount is $386.00.   The call was from SHANE WATSON, from a number that doesn't show as a usual number in my caller ID 0 524 487-04. and his return number is 772-209-7540. I was to send in a moneygram payment to an Anita Nagengast in Indio, CA. He knew my social and claimed I was breaking laws and comitting check fraud and theft by deception.  I asked why I couldn't send a "bill payment" moneygram, instead of directly to Anita as a personal sent payment, and he said she was the manager there, that is how they accept payments. I asked him to e-mail me proof of this bill, and he sent a regulary typed e-mail with several mis-spelled words to me with an attachment stating payday loan company.  Everything doesn't add up.  Thanks for all that comments, because I almost sent a payment to them.

I just got another call from the supposed to be detective Shane Watson..... He left the same number this time 772-209-7540 but he said that I need to contact him ASAP.... SoI can send the money ASAP.... Well NEVER will that Happen. But he called from a number but the whole phone number did not show up all it said was 052-448-704... thats weird but you know the scam artist are they will do anything. Please do not send them any money.

OMG, I got a phone call from a guy with a heavy indian accent about a month and a half ago telling me I owed for a PAYDAY LOAN I took out in 2006.  He said his name is SHANE WATSON.  Just like you, he scared me with his first phone call.  But, I, like a dummy wanted to get this matter taken care of, and started sending money via WESTERN UNION to a person named  ANITA NAGENGAST in INDIO, CA.  He also said I had committed check fraud and would suffer legal consequences.  So, I finally and stupidly obviously after reading your blogs, made my last payment, he supposedly varified the funds and now he's saying I gave him the wrong MTC # and I'm playing games.  He called me at work today and we got into a yelling match on the phone saying I was playing games and messing with the law.  I still haven't received any paperwork from this guy.  I wish I would've researched this lady's name before I sent him any money.  I feel soooooo stupid and frustrated.  I wish there was a way to get everything back that I paid and prosecute Mr. SHANE WATSON.

The phone# he's calling from is 818-495-2412
