I received a call today from 888-789-5690.  The woman claimed to be "Marie Wells."  I think that was the name given because she talked rapidly and mumbled.

She claimed that a "complaint was going to be or had been filed with my state's attorney."  She wanted to see if we could "settle the case before they hired a process server to locate and serve me."

I cannot think of a single reason that any "complaint" would be file or that a "process server" would be necessary and told her that.  I further told her to mail any documents she had to me and that if she could not do so to never call my number again.

I hate reading that these scammers have frightened anyone.  So, below are a few tips:

1.  Most state's attorneys or attorneys general do not accept "complaints" against individuals.  If a state's attorney files any type case, it's normally on a large scale for drug trafficking, large scale frauds, etc.  So don't be fooled by that threat.
2.  NEVER give someone who contacts you ANY type of information.  Always insist that they provide you with their inquiry IN WRITING.
3.  And, lastly, I had to laugh about the bit about a "process server to locate and serve me."  When documents are sent to a process server for delivery to an individual or corporation, an exact address must be given.  Process servers merely map out their route and deliver documents to addresses that they have been provided.  They do not provide locating services.

HANG UP ON THESE PEOPLE AND DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO.

I hot a message from my brother who i havent talked to in 5 years that mr king is looking for me how he got his number is unknown because we have different last names

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.

I got a VM from them today. Stating his name was Mr. King and he was called from the Attorney Services Division for Attorney Rosenburg. Also got told two counts against me. I have had these before and know they are fraudulant. They are typically people who bought your info from a payday loan place and are trying to take you for far more money then you ever borrowed. They are scammers.

called left a message (on husband;s cell phone) that I owed money but no name on the person or company that I owe.  last month I had id fraud on my social and irs and social security are aware of this.  now husband;s phone is no involved...they do not even have any case number just stated a attoney will be serviing me with a court order to pay up.  who are these people and why do they continue to scam us.  husband's cell number only used for personal use.  they need to be stopped...

Owing a debt is not a crime and you don't have a felony over it. Epic fail of the shill once again!

Sure you did.  Your spiel is about as believable as the moon is made out of cheese.

No - you're just another shill.  It was an "okay" experience for you because you work for them!

You're a fine one to talk of morals - how about the "moral obligation" to comply with federal law?  Which means you don't call people trying to scam them out of money they don't owe, have already paid, or do owe, but not to you!  You shills are so glaringly obvious.

It's not slander if it's true - and it IS true that these people have been called by scammers!  per the FDCPA, no one should pay any caller who refuses to MAIL - do not accept email or fax - proof they owe a debt/proof the caller can legally collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this documentation is a violation of federal law.  Also, it's a violation of federal law to misrepresent yourself as lawyers if you're not.  Obviously, you must work for these scammers - no surprise there, shill!

THESE PEOPLE CALLED ME SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING A PAYDAY LOAN. I IGNORED THEM, REFUSE TO CALL THEM BACK. I WAS IN SCHOOL FULL TIME. I REMEMBER THEM SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT MY FINANCIAL AID. IGNORED THAT. I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO GET FINANCIAL AID. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WTIH MY FINANCIAL AID PEOPLE AND THEY ARE ADVISING ME DUE TO ME HAVING A FELONY I CAN NO LONGER RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID MONEY. I CALLED THESE PEOPLE BACK AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NO LONGER HANDLING MY CASE AND JUST SAYS IT HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED OVER. I AM NOW IN SCHOOL PART TIME BECAUSE I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. YES I DID GET THE PAYDAY LOAN, BUT WHO PAY BACK PAYDAY LOANS.

Call went straight to voicemail asking for a "Lastasha Perkins" and the same stories as above.  Number is now blocked.

This guy has called several times with a horrible connection. He said he would have one of the attorneys call - which they never did. He called again a couple of days later with the same bad connection and I told him to call me from another line. He did call back with a good connection. He began to ask questions and I stopped him. I informed him that he called me - I did not call him - so when I get all of my questions answered (Attorneys name, address, phone, original creditor, etc. etc.) I'll think about answering his. He did not like this and began to argue and raised his voice. I informed him not to call me again and hung up. Sam is right (Thank you Sam, I read your post after taking the time to Google the phone number and go to CallHunter.com) and realized this is a total SCAM. DO NOT talk to these people, DO NOT give them any information, and above all DO NOT PAY THEM ANY MONEY! There are tons of phone scams going on out there these days including threating "IRS" calls etc. AVOID THEM ALL. Take the time to research the information and be sure to get all the information from the caller to validate at a later time on your own time, the legitimacy of the caller, company, etc. FREEDOM requires eternal vigilance - don't let someone else steal it from you!

I just got a call from they two what I do do I call back our no

I was called by London from LPC, 2 weeks ago. said that I did have a loan that I truly forgot about... I did get the whole bad check spill, then she said that I can check my state laws and I did... I then called her back and paid my debt... I get a lot of calls from collections people who are rude, but this was an okay experience.

IF YOU GOOGLE ANY 800#, YOU WILL NOTICE ALL OF THESE TYPES OF SLANDER BARBARA....WHAT HAPPENED TO MORAL OBLIGATIONS

I TO HAVE BEEN CALLED BY THESE FOLKS, HOWEVER THEY WERE COLLECTING ON A LOAN THAT I DID INFACT TAKE OUT 3 YEARS AGO USING MY CHECKING ACCOUNT, I DID FALL ON HARD TIMES AND DID NOT PAY ACE CASH BACK, I SPOKE WITH MR KING THERE HE HAS A LEGITIMATE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT I TRACKED THRU A COMPANY CALLED TLO(GOOGLE IT) AND LPC DOES HAVE (5) STATE LISCENCES, DO THOROUGH RESEARCH BEFORE SLANDER.  I DID AND IF ANYONE NEEDS HELP PLEASE CONTACT ME. ****WHY IS IT ALWAYS A DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY THAT GETS THESE BAD REPORTS??? I HAVE ALL INFO ON THIS COMPANY PLEASE CONTACT ME IF IN NEED.

Also got a call from Mr. King.  Talked to Becky Nardelli.  

Google search turned up nothing.  Nardelli gave me a web address. It's nothing but a shell.  Better Business Bureaus has no listing, though Ms. Nardelli claimed that they did.  

Got the same phone call from Mr. King at the same extension 103 claiming I had 2 pending felony cases!

Yes they are crooks!!

I just got a call from that "Mr. King", he claimed he was trying to locate my daughter who had a felony fraud and a bank fraud
after checking with google, we found out that it is a scam big time and I hope they catch these thieves!!

a distant realative that I've seen twice in 10 years got a call saying that they were looking for me because a bank fraud case had been filed against me and they were trying to track me down. seems strange since my information is in the phonebook and all over the web.  Caller told her that I needed to call back mr Nu Ting regarding a six digit case number.. Said he was with LPC and Associates and a case would be filed tomorrow if they didn't hear back. 1-888-789-5690 xt103
I went through the phone directory and they have very few employees.
I've been calling again and again but can't reach a human. I say we call them and leave an order for a pizza at each extension.
XT 101 Becky Nardali
xt 102 London Clark
xt 103 (mr king or maybe Ting)
xt 104 Cindy White
xt 105 Cathy Kirkland
106, 107, 108, 109, 110 all unasigned

I got a call from this #888-789-5690 stating her name was London Clark with LPC Associates and that a major case has been filed against me with my State Attorneys Office for frauding a bank and if they don't hear from me today she will contact the process service in my area and locate me and have me served.  I have no knowledge of who she is or who she represents, etc. Someone on here had mentioned a person with this name was arrested?  Thinking this is scam.  At the end of the message a voice comes on and says "attorney services this is London Clark" then the voice mail ends.

They rattled my sphincter  today too  And called my ex husbands phone  for  me!!!

Got a call from a woman claiming I defrauded a bank. I asked her what her name was and she told me London Clarke and that she was out of Georgia. Suspicious of the call I played along and let her talk her talk. When she hung up I researched her and came across a mugshot of her from 2007. She had been arrested for Theft By Taking. Here is the link. She claims to be from LPC Associates. http://georgia.arrests.org/Arrests/London_Clarke_6928279/

I just got a voicemail from these people. Same story, they filed two felony accounts, bank fraud and scheming to defraud a financial institution. Threatening to contact the local authorities and have me detained at my place of employment. I immediately thought it was a scam and luckily checked the Internet before calling them back.

This so called law firm had me terrified. They will claim that your driver's license has been flagged and if you get pulled over you're going to jail. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!

My sister just got the same call! This is a scam ! Had my sister so upset and panicked it through her into a hissy fit!!! Report these people!!

I received a call today from 888-789-5690.  THIS IS SOME SORT OF SCAM!  They left a message stating that a "major case had been filed against me today with my state's attorney."  I decided to call back and have a little fun.  I told the person up front that she would give me her business name and address, which she refused to do.  She did claim to be with LPC & Associates, but the only company with that name on the internet appears to be a building contractor/consultant.  She asked me to verify my driver's license and social security number.  If she was legit, she would have had those numbers.  She never gave any real reason why she had called me.  When I insisted that she must give me a business address, she hung up!

REPEAT, THIS IS SOME SORT OF SCAMMER.
