received call from Brian Scott 855-935-3691...accusing to sue for payday loan.

There is a threatening gentlemen named Brian Scott, he said he is collecting for a payday loan. Called Insight Capital. It is falsified. He had my social, old address, and old email from 2011, he called 3 times hung up and called back with his temper. I told him I was a victim of identity Theft and had proof. He said, he is going to file information and papers with Los Angeles County. I told him I will be calling my attorney and he hung up. I spoke to my attorney and he legitimized this organization is a scam. Call the federal trade commission and report this person. Guaranteed this is not his real name and he will continue. Block this phone number if you can.

Just had Brian Scott called for Renata Win (not me) said he was with Delaware Solutions and I was being charged with Fraud.  I have received calls from them before for me - still haven't got a clue what they are for but they won't tell me or give me any paperwork saying it's a valid debt.  They said they're putting in a call to Williamson County and they're prosecuting me.  Hahahha.. morons.

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.

funny, decided to call the number back and now a automated recording comes on saying Delaware Assets Managemnt...looked up the company and found out that they are listed as scammers too...such a small world...i called the number 4 times...each time it said Delaware Assets, on the fifth call it went to Brian Scotts so called voicemail...funny how it switched that fast...so i am thinking that this Brian character and Delaware Assets are one in the same

my fiancee got woken up out of her sleep from this Bryant Scott guy saying he is a paralegal, and threatened her with legal actions and that he would call back tomorrow to find out if she was paying...did some research and it brought me here...funny what u can find on google. also called the number back and it gives no company name only goes to his voicemail. i have did business with a legal debt collector and as soon as u call they give the company name first before anything, even if its a automated or a voicemail...so this is a scam...please do not fall for it.

Please read Tamianth's post above - sounds like another scammer call.  (Debt is civil, not criminal, so there's nothing to be "prosecuted.")

Some named Brian from "prelegal" called me from this number twice today and left me a voice mail saying I had to call him back today to resolve urgent matter or he would have to contact my county prosecuter . I have no idea what it's about. Should I call back?

Had this number call and threaten us with a lawsuit even though it was on a bankruptsy 2 years ago. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFO, SCAM SCAM SCAM! aLSO FROM NUMBER 616-277-2470 ABOUT A STUDENT LOAN.

Had the same phone call today with same exact threat, we didn't fall for i and have contacted our Senator's office. Thanks for this post because it helped e verify the scam!!! Had a similar call about student loan the same morning from number 616-277-2470 if you would like to help spread the word on that one too. thanks again for your post :-) IT IS REAL!!!!!

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,CFB,FTC & FCC..

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.
