These scam artist called my son around noon today while he was home from work on his lunch hr and verbally and rudly told him he too had an outstanding check from a cash advance business back in 2008 that needed to be PAID by 3pm today or he was going to go to jail for 3 months plus owe 3 times the cost of the check for the interest it had accumulated over the yrs and it was going to ruin his credit and he'd loose his job etc if he didn't settle up with the callers today..my son called me immediately, scared to death, because of the way the callers were threating him with jail time etc and asked me what he should do..Of course, being the mother and not wanting harm to come to your children, I asked him for the tele. number of the callers..He gave me the number 901-300-2845..I called that number immediately and too recieved the same RUDE and Intimadating message of "your son is going to jail if this isn't taken care of today" He owes $857 and the check in question was for $347 of that amount.When I asked my son if he could recall writing a check for that amt. that many yrs ago, he said "I might have" I'm not for certain tho..Knowing my son, I thought he probably did..The callers kept using the word "Felony" because of the amt of the check. I asked these scamers if they were a law firm and they never answered what type of company they were just said a "Legal Processing firm" by the name VPS (Vantage Point Services) out of Memphis, Tenn. I spoke to a Ms. Day who answered the phone initialy and then she transfered me to a James Nole..I told Day and Nole I would send them a cashiers check from my bank to cover the amt of the check, itself, and they both said NO I had to pay the entire amt. I told they I refused to pay anything but the amt of the check in question..I asked them if they were refusing to except my offer and finally Nole said It had to be a "Money Gram" from Walmart. Fearing the worst for my son, (an arrest and the loss of his job) I sent the money gram for $347 for the amt of the check and after they received that money they called my son to threaten him again that his mother didn't pay the full amt due and he had until Friday Oct.26 to pay the balance or he'd be arrested..Furious, I called the number back and told James Nole (?) he was not to call my son ever again that I paid his phone bill and I'd report them for harrasement..I asked for a physical address for their so called business and there was "NO ANSWER" only silence and he remarked, "He better get himself an attorney" and hung up on me..I'm SICKER than a Rabid Dog over all of this, knowing I just got SCAMED but let me tell you one thing, "What goes around comes around" and the day will come when the scamers themselves, will be the ones in JAIL..For the "Scammers reading this and Laughing"..Trust me when I say,Your days are numbered! You might be "Partying" on my money tonight but all parties come to and END! :)

You can't go to jail for that. But jail is a distinct possibility for fraudsters and extortionsists like you. Thanks for the evidence!

1st, did you get a loan and not pay it back?  If you answered yes, then go re-pay your loan. If you do not have an unpaid loan there are a couple of things you can do.  You can tell them OK, you will try to get to town and send them the money (of coarse you don't really do this) just go along with them and never do anything or take any action.  Or you can tell the caller to keep transferring you to their boss, the whole time act like you are all worried and really want to clear this up, of coarse when you finally get to where they can't transfer you to anyone else, then you claim to be that persons boss and your debt is forgiven.
Or what the heck, how about play along, tell them you have their money but they must meet you so you can pay them.  Now this is the fun part, have them meet you at the police station, or give them the address to your local zoo and tell them to come there and ask for Mr. Baer or Mr. Lyon and they will receive payment plus interest.   Just rememember to give them an address and don't tell them what the bldg/location is.  Not that they will show up but you can rag their a** a while.  Give them the address to a very bad part of town and they can come get you if they really want their money.  

Either way, don't EVER send these retards anything and quit being a little whiny-a** saying you are all worried and need help, and don't waste your money on a lawyer either or else YOU really are a tard, turn the tables on the scum and have a laugh doing it!

This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

ABC News released an investigative report on this scam in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:

I received a call from this number today at 11:00 am. They told me I that a warrant would be issued for my arrest at 2:30 today and that I would go to jail for 90 days then after my 90 days I would go to another hearing where I would be prosecuted for up to 5 years in prison. They had my ssn, names of my family members, DL #. They had some bogus county and address but I didn't dare tell their was wrong. The lady was very convincing and had me in years over this by the end of call. She stated that I needed to stay home after 2pm to turn myself in to the police when they got to my house and that I should make alternate arrangements for my children if I had any because I wouldn't see them for the next 3mo. I'm a single mom and she was so convincing at first that it scared me to death. She stated she was going to call my grandmother ( he was somehow listed as a contact) and tell her I was going to jail and ask her for money for this bogus claim. After the call I immediately googled the number and called a lawyer all of which confirmed it was a scam. Then a called my grandmother who was in the car on er way to a weekend trip out of town. I called her cell phone but gave the girl her home number. When the lady called me back she said she had spoken with my grandmother and that she would not help pay my debt. This was a lie and I knew that. It's wrong to reduce someone to tears. Making them think they would be taken from her children for something she knows nothing about. Someone needs to stop these people!

Stop answering the phone.  Nothing will happen.  It's an extortion  scam.  These people are criminals.  They belong in jail.

If they know your account numbers report it to the bank and get new numbers.  If they have your SSN put a fraud alert on your credit.  Change your phone numbers.  Report them to the police, the FTC and http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx  Lock down your Facebook account, they could be getting some of your information there.

They want you scared.  They think if they get you scared enough you will pay them.  Even real collectors can't put you in jail for owing money.  It is illegal to tell you that they can.

I received a call from them today, regarding out standing payday loans from six years ago. The guy I spoke with was Chris Hayes. He was extremely rude wouldn't let me speak and then told me I'd be arrested. He called me at work. He them transferred me to his boss Pamela Daniels and I spoke with her she claimed I owed money (I don't owe any debt to them) and said I had to pay by the end of the day or they'd have me arrested. They claim to have sent me a letter, I have no letter. When I called again to speak to Pamela Daniels I was transferred to Erin Fletcher who told me she would email me a copy of the letter. She claimed I'd get the email in 30 minutes... She said this 3pm, It's two hours later... I still have no email. I contacted an attorney. If you got a call from them you should too. Also get as much of the business information as possible and file complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau, and The Attorney General. It is a scam.

This number calls people and claims to be a legal firm telling u that u have outstanding payday loans and that you have to pay them in full or they are sending the information for legal processing. They even went to the extent of telling me I could be arrested. This is not true and it's nothing but a scam. They gave me 30mins to come up with the money and then called me again. They even called my fiancée at his job before they ever talked to me. And this supposedly happened four years ago...we weren't even thogrthet then. I am in contact with a lawyer to report this.
