Company keeps calling saying I will be arrested and am going to lose my job. Asked whom they were and gave me the run around

keep calling me tellinng me to give up some money

I got a phone call yesterday from a 305 290 5108 saying I have a lawsuit 950 payday loan which I have to pay and if I don't pay I will get arrested for 7 months they will pick me up. He called again today from a 813 418 7428 this guy just want ppl money. And he claim hes name is Steve O conor

Total SCAM. These guys have been calling me for weeks! They don't give up. I asked them several times where they are located and they gave me the adress of an empty building in florida. FAKE. They also call from different numbers, so I talk to a lady from the other number making the same threats at me and threatend her with international fraud charges. She removed my number from the call list.

My husband has received numerous phone calls from this number. A message was left on his voice mail threatening his mother, calling my husband a jerk, and making threats like, "you don't know what I can do to your mother and your family". This is not just a scam, but personal threats! They called back after leaving the voice mail, so I answered. The Asian sounding man was difficult to understand and called himself Shelly Cooper. He asked who I was and when I asked what he was calling in reference to, he said something about a law suit and said, "You will see Monday." I hung up. He has continued to call back. This is harassment!

Just received a call from this number and was told that I was a "prime suspect" in major fraud case and in danger of arrest.  I told hime that he was a "prime idiot and then hung up.  Came here to verify my suspecions that it is a scam.  My next visit will be to the webiste where I pay my phone bills -- they give me an option of adding up to 30 numbers to a banned list, which will prevent calls coming through from any number I add to the list.  They are now on my list.  Main problem is that they will call from several different phone numbers, including some that appear as ()92444.  When I see that number appear on my phone or TV screen, push "talk" to answer the call and then immediately hang up.  They'll try several times, but I have a lot of patience and tenacity, and I'll keep doing hang ups until they give up!  I've had calls as early as 7:45 EST and as late as 8:50 pm.  Can't understand why there are no laws in place to stop these creeps from getting phone numbers in the continental US.

My wife receive a call from 813-418-7428. Some indian guy named "glenn Brens" demanded a cash payment on a loan my wife never did. Or else she was going to be picked up and go to jail. This is a scam. I immediately called the loan co he said he was calling from and sure enough my wife has no business with them. I provided this loan company with his phone number and they were going to alert the FBI about this.

Got the same thing saying the had a lawsuit against me, but I live in texas and they called from FL.  Plus the person who i was talking to me said hang on let me get my manager and it was the same guy..

I got a call from this number sayin I had a lawsuit

I even got a call to an they told me if I didnt pay 100or250 there will a law enforcement to take me to jail it was frum this 813 418 7428 sayin his name wad al an hes a lawyer and they no all my imformation

OMG!!! I have been receiving calls from these people all evening with the same story about me owing 8,000 on a payday loan that I never received. I too was told that I need to get ready to be picked up by the authorities from my mailing address or place of work tomorrow if I don't go to court. The caller has a bad accent and hangs up when you tell them that you will report them to the authorities. CLEARLY this is a scam and they should be stopped!

THIS IS A SCAM.....BEWARE!!! This is company has called me requesting I pay them for a loan that I had no knowledge about nor did i ever receive. They even had some of my information and tried to scare me into paying them threatening that I would face criminal charges if it wasnt resoplved in a time sensitive matter. They demanded that I settle today with them or else the sherrif will come to my home and take me to jail. I called the number back to ask for there addresss and they were hesitant to give it to me trying to defer me from what i had requested. When they realized that I was addiment about getting there address they HUNG UP!!!!! This is so FAKE!!!!!!!!

IF THIS IS NOT A SCAM  THEN LOOK OUT I'LL BE TURNING INTO THE EASTER BUNNY TONIGHT    And thst's not gonna happen  so  forget the call they are NOT going to take you to court. If you need proof then contact your local court house to see if you're on any docket file

OMG!!!   This guy has been harassing me and all my friends, for about a week now... demanding that I pay 650.95 for a payday loan that I never received. How do I make this stop?

Have received several calls from this number over the past few Weeks, all for different names than myself. Have returned them and either got hung up on or told they would not call again. They are bad accented fakes and should just be hung up or cussed out if you answer the call. Or just ignore their messages. I will be forwarding my saved messages and numbers to the Attorney General.

My husband returned their call,  the guy cited all the charges against him. Stated we didn't pay a cash loan.  He verified all of my husband's information.  Then when my husband was no longer playing the game, and asked the guy for his address and information, he got hung up on.

My husband called the number back again, got a different person.  When my husband told they guy is was a total scam, the guy threatened to contact his employer to advise them what kind of trouble he was in.  He eventually got hung up on again, because it was just a yelling match of nonsense!

i got a called a few minutes ago and they said i owe the 8,000 on a payday loan that i didnt even recieve and that the police is going to pick me up friday morning from my house. and i have to go to court. it sounds bogus to me too. if i do go to court ima show them my bank statement showing i didnt get no money from a payday loan. i think this is a scam

I just received a call on my husband's behalf.  This is the second time I received a call. It even sounded like the exact same person. LOL  

He said his name was John Lincoln  with a law firm, and that I needed my husband to call him within 1 hour 45 regarding a case against him.

This is a total scam!!  Well let me add that the last time this happened, a week after the phone call, I had a fraudulent charge taken out of my bank account/credit card.  So it is a scam, but can be totally real!!

Got a call from a 813-418-7428 and was someone of indian desent giving the names john snyder and sam anderson .... saying there was some big case against me and i would be picked up tomorrow. By the authorities from my residence .... this sounds bogus and im not sure what this is about .... who else has this happened to they were demanding i pay 250 dollars by today for a loan i didnt ever receive ....bjt had all my info

I received one too. WTH?

These idiots keep calling me on my cell and at work. They are all of Indian (?) descent and tell me it is extremely time sensitive issue about me owing money to someone and at the end they say May God Bless you......I have reported many numbers but they constantly switch numbers using unused phone numbers from phone companies. Very irritating but now just disconnect them! My coworker also receives these as well!

These people are teliing me that there is a big case against me.... and i will be picked up for jail.........I told him my lawyer will call themm and i hung up....but they keep calling.

This company is bogus and keep harrassing me

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>
