If there is a class action lawsuit in the works against these a***oles, I would greatly be interested. Can you give me more info you can contact me at isvega1313@yahoo.com
Thanks

got the same message from these people they have called me at various times.  Then they stopped calling for a while then the calls started again. I found out that they are fictitious and are running a scam. Last week they called me at work. I called them back and asked them why they were calling me at work. I told them there was no Robert Black and no Anderson Law firm. I asked then what type of scam they were running. They asked me who I was. I told them and they responded by telling me that they would no longer call me at work.  Then this week they called my house twice and left messages spouting the same BS. Guess I will have to call the again and take the same approach I took when they called me at work.  Last year I was contacted  by homeland security about these people but I can't locate the contact information they gave me.  These people are a pain in the ares. Don't let them bother you.

I keep getting repeated calls from this number. They are calling a business line. When I answer, its 15sec or so before the phone hangs up. When I try to call the number back. I get the sorry this mailbox is full. Please stop this number from calling. This one and a few others call at least 10 times a day and its getting very frustrating.

Got many calls and threatening voicemails. They claim to be Anderson law firm. The man I talked to could hardly speak English. He threatened to take my husband to jail along with his employers as any1 close to him. Said we would all be charged with grand theft. The real Anderson law firm has never heard of these pol or myself. They know my ssn and bank num. beware of these ppl they are scams!!! Do not acknowledge ur ssn when the ask u to verify.

Got a call from this number on my job and would appreciate it if they don't call  my job no more.

They called me today and I told them that my husband had passed away.

I got this call twice today saying they were from Anderson Law firm in Miami, Fl.  My girlfriend also got the same call.  They told me that if i didn't respond that I would be charged with grand theft, grand larceny, and laundering funds.  They said that I had thousands of dollars in my bank account that provided the information that I wired it from a numbered account.  My bank has been notified of these claims.  Somehow they had my social security number also.  Please just hang up if you get a call from this number.  Never give out your account number or any other information.  They are just phishing to try to launder your money.

People called claiming to be Anderson Law. They said I owed some online loan company and was being sued. Never used this company before. They transferred me to a resolution expert who cussed me out then hung up on me.

I told them to take me to court and go ahead and send the polkice to my house im ready. They hung up on me. but called again the next day

I got numerous calls from this number claimming I was in big trouble and they even called me at my job i am going to calll the police to file a report and change my number and account numbers to be safe.

Ii have received several calls from this numbe but today andre johnson says that i owe 48 dollars in a voicemail. I called him back and he told me it already went to court house. I said i want the paper work on it and he said he can sdnd it and when i said i wanted it again he hung up.

Phantom Debt Collectors From India Harass Americans, Demand Money

By BRIAN ROSS (@brianross) , CINDY GALLI and MATTHEW MOSK (@mattmosk)
June 7, 2012

Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans have been targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers suspected of links to organized crime in India, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The calls are part of a massive scam, one that appears to target struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claim to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, have managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place.

"This is what we call a phantom debt collection scam," said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. "It's a very pernicious and innovative new fraud."

Working through call centers in India, the commission estimates that the criminals have dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some have reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. They are victims like Cindy Gervais, of New Orleans, who went online for a quick loan when her husband's car was hit by a driver who didn't have insurance.

Even though she paid the loan off, the so-called "phantom" debt collectors with Indian accents began calling to say she still owed money.

He more or less told me that if I didn't pay, they were going to have someone on my doorstep to arrest me," she told ABC News. "And that they were going to contact my place of business, and tell them what kind of person I am."

At first, she said she resisted. Then the calls became more frequent, and started to ring on her cell phone, and at the grocery distribution company where she had worked for 27 years.

"I was more or less was in panic mode because he told me there would be someone before noon at my place of business to arrest me and take me to jail," she said tearfully. "So I agreed to pay him."

After receiving scores of complaints, investigators with the FTC said they began tracking the calls, and following the payments. They alleged the payments led them to a California company run by an Indian-American named Kirit Patel, and that such scams would not be possible without American front men.

"I would say that all roads of this scam, or many of the roads of this scam, lead back to Mr. Patel," said the FTC's Leibowitz.

ABC News tracked Patel for weeks, from the suburbs of San Francisco to Austin, Texas.

Patel refused to talk. But his lawyer, Mark Ellis, said he believes it is far too early to pass judgment on his client. Ellis, a Sacramento-based attorney, told ABC News that Patel was hired for a nominal fee to set up an American shell company, and had no idea what the call centers in India were doing.

"I can tell you, he was as snookered by the people in India as anybody," Ellis said. "He's a 69-year-old man who is nearing his retirement who thought all he had to do was set up some corporations and everything was on the up and up. He's completely dismayed that he has become the lightning rod of this entire problem."

A close friend of Patel's also defended him in a brief interview at his home, saying Patel was not trying to defraud anyone -- he was just an unwitting, bit player in a larger scheme.

"If Mr. Patel was just a cog in the wheel he seems to have been a pretty big cog," Leibowitz said. "It is clear that Patel was integrally involved with this scam."

Leibowitz points to thousands of pages of financial and phone records gathered by the FTC and filed as part of a civil case brought against him in the U.S. District Court in Sacramento last month. When FTC lawyers sought to freeze his assets and prevent his business from continuing to operate, Patel responded by invoking his rights against self-incrimination. His lawyer told ABC News he has had to be careful in how he responds to the allegations in civil court "because there is a potential criminal action," but that Patel maintains the allegations against him are false.

Federal investigators said the phantom debt collection operation that allegedly benefitted from Patel's assistance was one of several that all trace back to the same small town in Western India called Ahmedabad. Callers use technology to make it appear that the calls originate inside the U.S. Victims provided ABC News with recordings of dozens of the calls, and many of the thickly accented callers appear to be reading off a script.

"Subpoenas have been readied, and Monday morning you're going to be picked up from your home," one caller says on a victim's voicemail. "And you have children. Don't worry about your children. We have a childcare department to take care of the children."

"You will be behind bars for six months," said another caller. "And once you go behind bars, you will lose your job. Once you are behind the bars, you won't get a single drop of water."

William Peerce Howard, a Tampa attorney who represents victims of harassment from debt collectors, said it takes an especially twisted criminal to use threats and coercion to pry money from someone who is already struggling financially

"These guys really are the most visible villains in America today," he said. "They make a living scaring people."

Mark Merola, of Florida, said he just panicked when the caller told him he might be arrested at the deli where he works in a Florida retirement community.

"I was nervous. I didn't want to embarrass myself, my family," he said. He used his debit card to pay the collector $576.

Afterwards, he says he realized "how stupid I was."

"It just happened so fast," he said. "I got scared."

Leibowitz said he hopes with more attention, future potential targets of the scam will recognize red flags before they turn over any money.

If callers say they are from the police, consumers should know that law enforcement officers do not collect debt for private parties. If the caller is speaking with a thick Indian accent, but calls themselves by a names such as Officer Mike Johnson, that should be a tip off. And if they're calling 40 times in two hours, that's another red flag. "Legitimate debt collectors, legitimate pay day lenders don't do those sorts of things," he said.

Merola said he would like to see anyone involved in the scam prosecuted aggressively.

"There's no place in society for these people," he said.

I got a call from this guy saying he was from the same law firm, he called me a motherf***** and then hung up. I called back and busted his a**, if he calls you dont panic just act like you are someone and tell him that you know what he does and how much money he makes. GET LOUD AND ANGRY with him and he will back down and stop calling.

Reddic also lives in Louisiana.

This is a scam.

They operate in Northern India in New Delhi and are owned by a man in the states named Thomas Reddic.

Thomas Reddic is in his early 30s and is making about $50,000 a month from this "scam".

Three years ago Thomas Reddic met a man named Vipped Paeail.

Paeail was visiting the states and met Reddic, when Paeail went back to India he formed a group of friends (about 3, that number has grown to 12 and soon to be 15) to work for Reddic. Reddic uses a "swipe machine" to transfer the money to a source in India. That source then talks to another source to transfer the money back to the USA. Usually he has someone pick the money up in India. He pays the manager of the "call center" about $180 a month for working 10 hours a day. I do not know how much the workers get paid.

I got a call from anderson law firm saying hr was andrew johnson and that he has a application with my name and ssn and that if i dont reply then my lawyer contact him or we will be in big trouble. This guy had a very big accent and could only understand half of what he said.  I need to know what to do bout this.

Heather, I am very interested in being a part of your class action law suit.against these parasites. I was harrassed today to the point where the man told me to "s*** his*****." I demanded his address he responded with "it's.. I f****d your mother up the a**."  Absolutely disgusting! I told him the call was being recorded and he continued to say "I don't care. S*** my ****" over and over until I hung up.

OMG, i had recieved a phone call yesterday june 05 2012 i recieved a phone call from this man with a heavy accent stating he was from anderson law. he said i owed $200 from a payday loan that i never had! he said my SS# was under investigation. and if i dont come up with the money police will be at my door step and i will be locked up in jail, lose my job and it will affect my credit report! the man said they were a big million dollar company, so later in the conversation i asked what is your company name? where are you located? whats your address? he tells me we are a law firm, we are in miami florida and he tells me ma'am thats not the matter right now. the matter is that you owe my company $200. he said they were a firm and contradicts himself and uses the word company! what is it? a law firm or a company! i told the guy i need to call my family attorney, he tells me what for to borrow the money? i said no to find out what is going on! then he reply's i need to know when you will send the money! scam!!!

I received a call from this phone number today. I am a receptionist at a company and we receive these types of fraudulent calls for our technicians all the time. This guy claims to be "Chris Hill with Anderson Law Firm"... When I heard the thick indian accent and saw that the number came from Miami, FL. (which I thought was odd because we are in Louisiana). I took down his name and company and phone number from the caller id and asked him to hold while I tried to locate one of our employees that he was calling for. I then googled the number and of course 800notes came up immediately. After I read the posts from you guys I got back on the phone with him and asked him "Sir, are you familiar with the Federal Trade Commission?" and he proceeded to say that he did not. So I told him "Well do you realize that complaints have been filed against your company for fraudulent claims? I do not appreciate you calling this place of business trying to collect debts that our employees do not owe you to begin with, please do not call here again or I will take further action. Thank you". Well I hung up, and I knew he'd call back immediately and sure enough he did, but he didn't sound agitated because he knew he was caught, and I proceeded to tell him not to call back again and hung up on him for the second time. He has not called back.

Keep getting harassing calls from this scam artist, fraud law firm, doesnt law firms have voice mails for after hour calls?

Anderson or Anzernon Law Offices called my employer and when I returned their phone call they told me that I had taken a cash advance loan out on April 3, 2012 for $300.  After reviewing my checking  account information and verifing that no such transaction took place I asked them to send me copies of the supposed loan application and pending law suit.  He hung up on me.  I called back.  He told me that since it was my SS# and mailing address that I was going to be sued and that even though the supposed loan was only for $300 that I could be sued for up to $7,000 (which is absolutely absurd)!  I asked him to verify my SS# for me, which he did not do but, instead, he hung up on me, again.  So, I called them back....  He then said that they would be contacting my employer again because my employer would be obligated to appear at the court hearing.  Really?!?!  

He said his name was Matthew Jones and that I would be getting notice of the court date in the mail within 52 working hours......I am waiting to see what happens and will let everyone know whether or not I receive it (I doubt it will ever come).
