Total scam

They said if i did pay $1700 before 5pm that the cops would pick me up tomorrow morning.

No - because the callers are scammers.

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.

These clowns keep calling me. Says the sheriff will deliver paperwork for me to appear. Has anyone actually received anything? I never received any money from any loan.

Threatening messages

Just received a call from this number at my place of employement as well as my cell.  Man said his name was Ronnie Smith.  He said it was imperative that I speak with him.  The man had a heavy India accent.  Stupid me I have had payday loans in the past but I have always paid them back. I've gotten numerous calls from other numbers threatening me with legal action and jail.  I know these are scams.  I've reported to FTC, State Attorney Office, PD and BBB.  I still keep getting them.  I've been told just to ignore them and report them as they call.

I got the same call. He told me same thing. So is this a scam?? Who do I need to report it to.

I also received calls at work and on my mobile.  They had my address and social and wanted to know if it was correct.  I would not confirm.  They stated I had an outstanding loan thought a company that was a USA Loan affiliate.  Threatening me stating an arrest warrant had been issued and that I would be arrested the next day.  I reported to my bank and registered at Credit Karma to watch my accounts but who else should I report to?  They had sensitive information and the right person would of freely provided thinking it was real.

I got a call from this number today and didn't know who it was so i answered it. They stated they were looking for someone that I've never heard of and told them this. The dude laughed and goes just kidding it's me Brian from the 5th grade do you remember me? No I don't know any Brian from the first grade. The guy on the phone continued to get my name making it sound like he knew who i was. I immediately hung up. Shortly after the same guy called back my phone. I answered and kindly told him to stop calling me. He then started claiming how he loves me and wants to have babies with me and get married. Wow I laughed so hard and hung up after telling him to get a life.
These people are ridiculous if you ask me

When we confronted them about be a scam...his response was I LOVE U AMANDA!

I just got a call from them. left a measage and Claimed they are sending "Cops" not a police officer to my door. They did have my full SS and an address I lived at for 10yrs, but not in the last 4 since divorced. It completely sounded like a recording from India or some place.

Claimed we owed them $600 and said if we didn't pay today then I'd have law enforcement arrest me in the morning.  When I read this page and we confronted them they hung up

Exact same thing happened to me.  He said he was sure I would be found guilty....that is when I lost it on him.  I said what kind of law firm would EVER say that?  HE ended up hanging up on ME.  How can they get away with this???  Unreal!

ya  i just recieved a call from this number saying the same thing  bout coming to pick  me up at work and my legal fees  costing me 8400 dollars to take care of this situation

well im glad i looked up the number when i heard my voice mail.. the threatened me saying someone would be at my door to take me away.. when i called back with an attitude i told them i received a threatening phone call fromthem they asked my name i gave only my first name then they said they would call me back.. hmmm im not one for games but i get very cheeky when threaten, verbally or otherwise .. thanks yall for letting me know im dealing with scammers again..  it time to flip the switch on these guys!!

Same thing.  They wouldn't even tell me who they were.  They just said unless they hear from me or my attorney all that they could say was good luck with what was about to unfold in my life.  I called them back and the line was bad, he said they would call back tomorrow GOOD BUY! and hung up.  REDICULOUS and maddening.  Again a very strong accent.  Guys name was Tijaun Walker.  

I got the same call from this number with a threatening messege as well! Who are these people?

Received a call from this company saying I would be arrested at my work place tomorrow. How can these people be stopped from making threatening phone calls

It's say it's a law firm but was just a loan company the other day smh..full of games

Oh My God! the same thing just happened to me!

I agree.  I was going to try one and when they told me how much I was approved for $5K, I thought, something isn't right about that so I changed my mind.  They continued to call me and when I told them I changed my mind, the guy laughed at me and now they are calling my work.  I hope they do not call anymore as I told them this line was being recorded.  If you debate with them as I did because they called me a thief, They hang up on you.  So annoying.  I wish I never would have applied.

Said he works for an attorney and that I need to call him back.  He ended it with "If you don't call me back, all I can do is wish you good luck as this situation unfolds on you." LOL!  Scaaaaaaaam

I just had the same call. he said that the police were coming to serve a warrant to me at  home and work. lol.....never add your info to the payday loan companys website, as soon as you hit i agree they send it to india .

Got same call. Had previously looked into payday loan, but backed off without any money going into account. Tried to tell me same thing about legal proceedings. Scam!!!!

This number (817) 402-3958 has been calling me twice today and left two messages that I feel like I was being threaten by them.

One more call just. The "nice" Lady didn't want to listen to what I had to say about their SCAM.  When I told her I'm aware they are trying scam folks she
says: The Sheriff will be here tomorrow to pick me up. I simply commented: Bring him on.   What else Can a person do?

Total con artists. Already reported to the FTC, definately not a legitimate company.

Total con artists. Hang up the phone, better yet, keep calling them back. It seems to really piss them off.

Wow. Almost word for word what happened to me. When he was reading off "charges" against me, I tried to interrupt to ask just who was filing these charges, I was told not to interrupt, etc.  
I feel bad for people who fall for this, because they are somewhat convincing & intimidating.

Not to mention, this guy (also with a VERY strong accent) tells me to BE QUITE & DON'T INTERUPT) then he reads to me 3 charges that i will be "picked up" on.  Have i ever been arrested for any of these? Yup, I'm gonna answer that one!  NOT! Tried to tell me he was a Paralegal & I had to answer him! When I heard this I told him : Guess I need to retain retain a lawyer. Click! Dead air!  Somebody please stop him im sure there are some folks who are more intimidated by them who would wire them their Social Security Benefits!
