I missed a call and had a request for me to call them back.. A ?BRUCE WILLIAMS? was the name that was given for me to call back at some ?Freeman Law Office? out of Lawrence, Kansas. So I call back and asked to speak with this Bruce. He isn?t there or whatever. So the guy asks who I am. I just say my first name. then I asked what this was in regards to. And he wouldn?t give me an answer. He says, ?you called this number right? Freeman Law Office.? I  said, ?Yes but someone from here called me and I would like to know why.? He said, ?I will just have Bruce call you.? I said, ? this is my work number and would appreciate you not calling here and change the number.? He says, ?Yeah I?ll do that.? And he hung up on me! ? didn?t even take a number for me to give him?

In the meantime while waiting for a callback, I google this number: 785-669-4802. It?s a hoax. Traced back to some mobile number. But then I looked further down my screen and there was a thing- Complaints. Said basically the exact thing that just happened to me and the EXACT SAME number! So I clicked on it. And BOOM!!! A whole site full of complaints about this happening to others.

So anyways this ?BRUCE WILLIAMS? calls me back and I had Wanda answer it. She was very stern and strict asking them who they were and why they were calling and that they shouldn?t be calling my work number, yada yada yada. She told them we knew that they were a scam and that we are were going to report them to consumer protection. She then transferred the call to me so I could tell them the same thing. He was very rude to me. I said, ?Hello?. He asked if it was me. I said ?yes. What?s this in regards to?? He said that I?m being sued. I asked for what. He says, ?You haven?t heard of this case before?? I said, ?Um no. And I know that you?re a scam. I googled your number and came up with a mobile number and other complaints about you.? He says, ?You think this is a scam? Well then you better prepare and get a lawyer and attorney (which of course we know is the same thing) and I?ll see you in court.? I asked,? what do I need a lawyer for?? He says, ? I don?t want to talk to you anymore. See you in court!? and hung up on me. That?s the just of what was said anyways. May not be EXACTLY but pretty darn close!..

I just called from them they said i was getting sue

I just got done with them too. Theyre going to sue me as well. The minute I told them that my attorney would call them, the person abruptly said I was in trouble and then hung up. I read other reports on this number as well. they just call people to try and extort money. I wouldn't worry about it.

I received a call from this number today and they stated they were a law firm and I am being sued!  He then said he would have to transfer me to his senior officer to give me any information.  They wanted the information for my attorney and he stated that my social is flagged?  Can anyone verify this information?

Received a phone call from Mike representative of the Freeman Legal Associates, located 843 New Hampshire Street  #100 in Lawrence, Kansas,  claiming that I was going to be arrested by the authorities for a loan that I never paid back (let alone never remember receiving): I called my bank to verify any such funds being deposited - the answer was "NO RECORD OF ANYTHING EVER BEING DEPOSITED".

I would like Shawn Richards from this # 785-669-4802 to stop calling my job # 417-881-5397 pertaining legal emergency

Also received same message on my vm and also tried to call my work. I called a private attorney and filed a complaint with the IC3. Not sure if this will help or not. I hope so, they need to quit calling.

785-669-4802  Shawn Richards

This number calls me over and over and over- never leaves a message. I am not answering as soon as it goes into voice mail they redial. What is this? How do I find out?

This caller from 785-669-4802 is a scammer, trying to make you scared in order to ultimately send them money, they threaten you with a work place arrest, harassment and if you question them they will call you names and say vile things, evil evil people.  
FBI please do something about these deceiver callers, take them out!!

Called and told me a lawsuit is filed and who is my attorney.  I asked who filed this and the foreign speaking guy transferred me to someone else.  He asked me if I still worked at "Vxxxxx"......I did not answer that question but instead asked who is bringing this so called law suite as I do not owe anyone any money.  He told me American Cash.  I told him I have never heard of that company and if they continued to call me with their "SCAM" collection calls, they would be reported. I then hung up and did not receive a call back - yet.  I tried dialing the number and they answered the phone, "Attorney's office"  What a joke.  

Harrasing foreiner, very mean. Claiming to be calling from Freeman Law Firm in Lawrence Kansas... said he would send police.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.
