Shill alert!
How does it feel violating the FDCPA every day?  
People are getting wise to these scams and you don't like it.  Boo hoo for you, scammer!

we will collect our money from you dead beats,call me if you think im kidding!!!!! 888-586-4335

I want to report these scammers! Yes, I got a call from a guy with a deep Indian accent (Alex) stating that he had a series of allegations against my social security number.  His phone number is 6262393142 and had the audacity to call me three to four times in a week (last week) before I laid in on him and the calls ceased; so today I got a call from Richard Shaw with a phone number of 8885864335 ext. 402. I am just hoping to track this criminal down...I am sick and tired of criminals trying to steal from me. It is pathetic and they are all scumming scam artists. GET a real job!

this bi*** keeps calling me too  with the same story  they got me for 60.00 dollars

If you have call forwarding features (like on Verizon Digital Voice), than forward this jerk to 717-338-2533.  That's the FCC Director's office phone.  Maybe the FCC will finally do their job when they start getting the annoying calls.

I dont tink these idiots use they're real names, but i got a call from Richard Schaw and Joe Michaels. I really hope they throw all these thieves to jail. I already made a report to the police, hopefully they can track them.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C. December 07, 2010     

   FBI National Press Office (202) 324-3691

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.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller?s instructions. Rather, you should:

   Notify your banking institutions.
   Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
   Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
   File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

   Never give your Social Security number?or personal information of any kind?over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
   Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
   Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
   Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
   Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
   When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

These b*****ds called my mom today telling her i'm involved in check fraud! this is the first time i'm looking forward to talking to a bill collector. I'm getting in their a***s tomorrow! I bet I won't get another call. Saying they're criminal investigators and they investigate check fraud. That's misrepresentation right there!

I got a call from this number and they called my sisters phone number and it said CPS my sister and mom was freaking out on me cause they thought I or someone was abusing my kids cause it said CPS and when I call the number it was for a loan I made in 08 and they keep calling my sisters phone and my moms phone saying if I don't pay them that they will send a warrant for my arrest I don't know what to do plz help....

Joseph Michaels keeps calling me saying he is gonna arrest my husband over $250 dollars...They are so full of it it!!!

my g/f just got one of these such calls today with a female saying her name is Brooke Kramer and that she has a complaint # of 335-IN-817 and to call back #888-487-3939 x713 and when she called back spoke to male and he transferred her to the female Brooke and then she transferred her to anther male who didn't id himself except he is the lead investigator and that she has a pay day loan from 2007 that wasn't paid and she can be facing criminal charges if she doesn't pay balance of $1,140.34 and then said needed to have credit card within the next 24hrs or will be putting a warrant out from hendricks county. Asked her if she was working and when she told him she wasn't he said he was going to send out the warrant today. when she told him she can see what can do to settle out of court he then said if she doesn't call back by 4:30pm tomorrow with a credit card that she will be sent to jail. This is just ridiculous and I can't believe these people to scam my g/f like that. everyone needs to be on the lookout for this.

I am in process of finding them, and when I do, I have an attorney that is gonna sue their pants off. James Hamilton, Joseph Michaels, Robert Shaw, all of them!

Message left on my answering machine from someone who identified himself as Richard Shaw, investigator on active case  number xxx-xxx  involving one of my nieces. He said he needed to talk to me to see how I was involved.  I immediately suspected that it was a bogus call when they didn't say what company or agency they were from. Upon typing in the above phone number, my suspicions were confirmed. Obviously, I will not be returning their call.

Whew these scammers have me pissed off to the max omg! They have been callin me but usually Id ignore calls especially if I dont receive anything in mail from them. But these ppl were actually calling my old references such as my brother and an old friend that I havent talked to in years. This was regarding the day pay day max loan i thought i paid off a couple yrs back. This guy said his name was James Hamilton and he had a ext 477 to speak to him. He seemed nice and professional at first. And also, they have a freakin receptionist, sooo crazy! He said there was a interest rate of 29.9% of me owing $1,449.95 but he said i could take care of it with a settlement of $650. I told him well, theres no way I can pay as i live off tanf and have no job. He said okay, well, let me call you back in 10 minutes. I missed the call, but called that number back and it was some guy sayin he was a fraud investigator. He said I was being accused of check fraud, and my own brother and friend who was my references were testifying against me for it. It didnt make sense. And on top of it, he asked for my address saying he was going to come get me and then take me to court to make me plead my case. He said all kinds of crazy things ugh! He said I had 24 hrs to come up with $985.33, and if I didnt find someone with a credit card then hes going to come and get me and arrest me for a warrant out for my arrest. As he said that pay day ppl had hired him, and filed a complaint against me or something. complaint # 301847-OR-08. Im sooo upset about them having my personal info like that. But im done with those crazy online loans.

This company made repeated threatening calls to both myself and family members who were listed as references on a pay day loan that I took out about five years ago. I paid a few payments on the loan ,but after losing my job struggled to pay the rest. I tried to settle with them ,but they claimed I owed more than I actually did ,and refused to send documentation or proof of the balance. They hung up the phone on me, threatened court and jail and basically lied through the teeth in every way to try and scare me into paying them.They falsely represented themselves as working for the county where I am located, but after doing some research I found that it was all a lie. When companies are unwilling to work with you concerning your debt ,that is a red flag, When they threaten you ,and hang up the phone on you ,that's another red flag ,and when a lady leaves a message on your machine for anyone to hear that misuses grammar and legal jargin ,but she's claiming to be from the legal department ,that's another red flag that something is not adding up here. Don't be scammed! More importantly don't take out payday loans if you can in anyway avoid it. I have learned my lesson.

This company called me instead of my ex-wife and tried to utilize my children as a bait to force me to get her to pay this money she didn't owe. They called back tellin me and she was a lady workin for the county and if she doesnt pay in 30 minutes they will procede with a warrant.. Nothing ever happened just evil mind tricks.. They then said they worked for the county under the name Debbie smith which was a joke. I called the county sheriffs office, my county's DA's office for Fraud checks and they never heard or have been contacted for someone to get a warrant.. So they broke federal privacy acts and whoever this happens to can get a judgment of 1000$ if this has happened to you. Theres a number to research within this blog page.. Contact your attorney general and FTC.. So the FBI will stop these thieves and harassers from hurting you for there own joy!! Modern day cyber pirates

I got a call from this number saying i owed on a payday loan. That the person was an investigator. I was gonna be served and sued. That i was under investigation for check fraud and i could be looking at jail time. They talked to my employer and said i was going to be served at  work but never showed. Prior to that i had a message left on my phone saying that a complaint was filled against me in my county and to call them back but the number didn't work. They say i owe around 1000 dollars.

This is UCIS Inc. also known as Jacobson & Assoc and many other names. This collection company has changed their name at least 3 times in 2011. The use illegal and harassing techniques to collect on defaulted payday loans. If you have to deal with this company it would be in your favor to seek out a legal representative and report them to the FTC....

Received call from this company saying I had a debt that dated back to 2007.  the company is UCIS, Inc.  I cannot find ANYTHING for this company online.  They sent me an email stating I have 4 days to pay $1248.00 on an old payday loan with NO information.  I have reported this to the Texas OCCC.
