I contacted the Federal Trade Comission and reported them for threating me and abusive words. Hope it shuts them down.

Well I just got a call from "lilly" saying I was going to be arrested before Christmas if I did not pay 538.00 tonight, I told her I was unemployed and I could not come up with the money tonight, she said well I bet your kids are going to have a Christmas arnt they, I said yes they will because I got adopted by a church. SICK SICK SICK people. It is a scam, I fell for it once and payed 600.00, they tried again in August, and now here in December. I told them to go ahead and do what they had to do.

My story is just like all of yours i was told that i had felony fraud through a payday loan through advance America. i owed 371 and if i payed the 671 that she  (lily) would not post the 1500 in fees. she threatened me that she would have me in jail and call my work. she would not provide any information. i went to the payday loan office and verified this info with the solicitor (harrasser) on the line, she still continued to lie. i hung up on her she called back 30 mins later and continued to harrass me. she had my social number she had old bank routing and accounting numbers, i contacted the ftc and did a police report. i am sorry to all in this position, i felt the emotional roller coaster ride to belive in a disbelief, I hope there arrested and i hope that no one falls for this,

A lady claiming to be Palmer Allgood called me at work saying I needed to contact her immediately. When I got home, I called her and she told me I was being charged with internet fraud because of an old pay day loan I didn't pay back a few years ago. She was very rude, sarcastic and unprofessional. She was telling me that if I didn't pay her $300 by 5pm then she was going to have a police ? locator? came to my work and arrest me tomorrow. While I was arguing with her on the phone my girlfriend googled the phone number and her ? name? and came up on this site. She showed me what it said so I abruptly told her I would see what I could do and call her back shortly. I read these articles and saw that this is exactly what's happening to me. Called her back and told her that I saw on the internet that she was a scam and her response was ? those are just other people just like you that are trying to get out of their legal responsibilities. You should probably get an attorney.? He responded ? that's perfectly fine. I already have an attorney, they are actually sitting right here coaching me.? Then she hung up on me and it was over. Please don't fall for this scam!

i got a phone call from number 904 853 6188  and she told if i dont sent $ 566.00 by western union with one hour , i would be arrested at my job and her name is Ms.Allgood , i didnt sent  the money cause i dont $ 566.00 just leding around  . I didnt fall for the mess , i call my boyfriend and he call the police and told them what she said . so the police is look in to it .

I received a call from a *Tammy Jones* in March of 2011, stating, that my son had taken out a loan before he was shipped to Japan and did not repay it and if we did not send $511.00 to Tesoro LLC they would contact his Commanding Officer and have him pulled back to the states to face these fee charges in court.  Well knowing that my son did have to take several advanced pays before he left for oversees I fell victum to this scam.  I sent the money to her by Western Union and for awhile lt seemed that it was taken care of.  Then about a month later I got a call from somebody else from the same number stating that my son owed this very same amount of money.  I phoned this Tammy Jones and she stated, it was paid already and we didn't hear from them again.  Well until yesterday a Palmer Allgood phoned our house with the same story as before only the price was $1,000.00 this time.  So my husband phoned my son and gave him the information.  Since I was not home to go through the receipts and phone numbers that came in my son went to Western Union and sent the money.  So these scam artists have effected my family twice now.  These people are spineless souless people who obviously cant get a real job unless lying, stealing and hurting other people is involved. First time shame on me.  This time I am going after them.  They really made a big mistake this time.  If one of them should happen to call you as them the date of the so called hearing the courthouse it is located in along with the time.  This way you can make them think your going to go.  When they give you the information just thank them and tell them you'll see them in court.  Good Luck

I received a all today from a women claiming to be an Investigator. She stated that she knew I was a Law Enforcement Officer, but was tryin to give me a break, from one LEO to another. She stated that I would be charged with "Internet Fraud" from one financial institution to another. I let her talk, without saying a word, when she finish, her final statement consisted of Payday loan that I received would be adding $2500 onto the $500 orginally borrowed. She also stated that if I paid $735.00 today, that would settle the matter. MY RESPONSE was, Internet fraud refers to the use of Internet services to present fraudulent solicitations to prospective victims, to conduct fraudulent transactions, or to transmit the proceeds of fraud to financial institutions or to others connected with the scheme. My situation is a debt for which I have paid over a $1000.00 in fees already. I am not paying you another dime. She called my work phone and all calls are recorded (In-bound and out-bound). She associated herself with the Federal Government as a Investigator to collect a debt. TO ALL WHO READ THIS MESSAGE, THE FEDERAL LAW STATES:

Don't be fooled by debt collectors

I got the same message from Ms. Allgood stating that I was going to be arrested at my job. I have a high level sensitive security job and was frantically trying to resolve this matter before the contact my job and advise them of me being charged with a felony check fraud. I did send them the money, but only half. I am about to call my lawyer and see if there is anything I can do about this. Maybe I can get my money back since they clearly violated my bankruptcy automatic stay. I can't believe I feel for this mess.

I guess it was my turn to get a call, Got a call today stating that they were going to process me and put me in jail for a payday loan from 2007. I asked for info about the loan such as amounts, where from what bank and etc. She said it was for a company in Ohio called ACE and i owed them over 600. I said I never had a laon for that amount with any company she said the orginal loan was 305 and the rest was interest, I stated that was still an odd amount as I worked in the loan business in ohio and the amount with fees are 230 for 200 loan, 287.50 for 250 loan and 345 for a 300 loan. so where did 305 come from. And i requested proof of loan, loan agreement and return check info. As i dont have any outstanding loans that I can think of any loans with this company would have been paid way before i move out of ohio. She then wanted to know if i was on parole or probation, I said what does that have to do with anything,.She said once they arrest you if youarent on those you can get out with a personal bond, I said so you are tell me you are going to have me arrested for a felony fraud check for a check amount of 305 which is a misdemenaor in ohio and not provide me with the info i requested to get this taken care of. She said yes. I said fine then i guess i will get a lawyer she said she was gonna add 1500 to the bill for legal fee. I said dont call me again and hung up.

Palmer allgood called and said she was a detective and that i would need bail Money if i didn't put 500 dollars in a wellsfargo account

I got a call from a investigator "James Harris" left a voicemail on my phone saying that they are trying to get in touch with me . I googled the name that came up in Mr number as Tesoro Llc  number 9073724217 . I did my reasearch on the company and they will not be getting a call back from me and i also have blocked there number from calling my cell phone in my mr number blocklist.

SONYA GREEN CONTACTED ME LOOKING FOR SOME ONE THAT SHE SAYS  I WAS RELATED TO SHE WANTED ME TO VERIFY MY D.O.B AND ASK WHERE I LIVED AND WORKED BEFORE SHE COULD CONT. I STARTED ASKING HER TO VERIFY WHERE SHE WAS CALLING FROM AND WHAT SHE WANTED W/ME AND HOW I WAS RELATIVE TO THIS PARTICULAR PERSON HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO BE CONNECTED AND HOW SHE PULLED ME AS A RELATIVE. SHE WENT ON TO SAY SOME KIND OF DATA BASE SHE WAS SEARCHING SO LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW I HAD COMPUTER ACCESS @ THAT TIME AND LOOKED HER UP AND ONCE I STARTED TELLING HER ABOUT WAT SHE WAS TRYING TO DO SHE HUNG UP

I just got a call from a Sonya green. She had all my personnel information and said if I didn't western union her $800 now that I was going to be arrested.  It is the same women listed in the other postings. Is this a fraud women or company? I'm kind of freaking out.

A lady by the name of Sonya Green then Mrs Allgood both threatening to press charges if we didn't go to the nearest Wells Fargo bank by 5.  Well, luckily they couldn't except a check, so the transaction didn't go through.  They wanted me to send it Western Union and was willing to wait 2 hours for it!  Well, in the meantime, I did my reasearch and found this site.  Talked with with Mrs. Allgood about it, she was very defensive and irate.  Glad I looked at this site before I sent them $300.  Contacting my lawyer and the Attorney General.  These ladies are rude, very unprofessional, and obviously used to yelling all day.  Please send your complaints in to shut them down!

I had this same woman call my in laws claiming fraud on my husband. She almost got me but I looked online and found all these comments about it being a scam. We have 3 kids at home and couldn't just give her the amount she wanted. I asked for documentation to prove she was real. She walked me thru a website but that wasn't believable then I told her to fax me something she said she couldn't and got irrate. After consulting people who know a bit about these scams they adviced me not to send the money. Thank God I didn't. These people should be put away with the Maximum Security Prisoners!

This sounds like a call I got about my husband. She gave me all his info over the phone even the checking acct number but gave me the wrong bank. That bank doesn't even exist where we live. She told me to Western Union 537.50 to a Cohen Lairsey and she'll drop the charges. WRONG!!! She has to do better than that!

JUST RECIEVED A CALL AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT FROM PALMER ALLGOOD CLAIMING TO BE AN IVESTIGATOR FROM THIS SAME NUMBER 904-853-6188

SCAM SCAM SCAM PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY SHE CALLED MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT JUT TELL HER THAT SHE IS HARRASSING YOU PLEASE DO NOT SEN ANY MONEY OR BELIEVE HER LIES IT'S AGAINST THE LAW

At my place of work, "Investigator Sonya Green" left VM on my extention requesting call-back to this number 904-853-6188 regarding "an investigation in Hillsboro County", then called again, talked to somebody else in my office (CREEPS!) and then got through to me on a transfer (called ID identified  the incoming line as 904-372-4217). Asked if I was so-and-so (yes) with the date of birth of mm-dd-yy (no, way off), have any family with same name (no). Thank you, goodbye.
I'm guessing now from others' feedback that this is a collection agency.

Other site has these numbers associated to
Tesoro LLC
1415 Atlantic Blvd
Jacksonville, FL 32207

A lady named Sonja Green contacted my fiance from the phone number 904-853-6188 saying he had to go to the nearest Wells Fargo bank and call her when he got there and she would give him the account information to pay 900.00 by 1pm. She said he was being charged with internet fraud, facing 6 months jail time and a $2400.00 bail and $1500.00 fine. And their would be a warrant out for him the next day if he didnt pay. Of course we were frantic, trying to have family members from so many states away wire us money. I googled the company "Tesoro Endeavors" or "Tesoro LLC." and that's when I found 800notes.com. This would have ruined us if we had fallen for this HORRIBLE scam. Thank you to all that reported this, It was such a relief!

Received a voice mail @ my job from a Sonya Green stating she was investigating a case from Florence County and was looking for Chandra Grant or Anita Sibes and it was important that I had one of the call her back at 904-853-6188.  While I do not know either of these people she is looking for.  But I did google the number and it belongs to Tesoro LLC in Jacksonville FL... I have no idea what or who this is...

received a message on my work voicemail from a Sonja Green stating she was assigned to a investigation in Florence county and was trying to reach a Chandra Grant or Anita Sibes and that they needed to call her back at 904-853-6188... since I didnt know either of the people she was looking for I just deleted the message...

c.  The value of a trade secret that does not have a readily ascertainable market value is any reasonable value representing the damage to the owner, suffered by reason of losing an advantage over those who do not know of or use the trade secret.

2.  If the value of property cannot be ascertained, the trier of fact may find the value to be not less than a certain amount; if no such minimum value can be ascertained, the value is an amount less than $300.

History.--s. 1, ch. 87-382.

I received a voice mail on my PERSONAL cell phone looking for a person i have not spoken to or seen in 10 years. I called the number back to inform them of this and both women were very rude and ignorant. They said that they are investigating a legal matter and that i was put down as an EMERGENCY contact for the person they are looking for. I stated that i didn't even know where the person they were looking for was. "Investigator Dixon" proceeded to get rude and ignorant with me asking me "why would i be down as an emergency contact" and "the legal matter is less than 10 years old." I stated that i did not know and to please remove my number from whatever list they have. She kept pushing and stated that i just need to find a way to contact who they were looking for and tell them to contact them. Are you kidding me? Apparently they didn't listen to the first part of the conversation. These people seem like frauds and whatever you do, DO NOT give them any information.

Just received this same type of call.  Threatening internet fraud for a online payday loan from back in 2008.  Yes...i totally forgot about this...willing to pay, but how can you call my job and threaten that they will be coming to my job to arrest me, and that they would be contacting my human resource department to let them know that i have committed fraud.  Said I would have a bond of 2418.00....Not sure what to believe...can they do this?

8:00 a Tammy James called from 904-372-4217 and stated that she was looking for someone at this number and that she put in the person SS# and it was stated that I was releated to this person. This lady has called more than one time she wouldnt give any information but her # and that the person better call or they will be put in jail. The number she wanted the person to call back is 904-853-6188

Investigator Dixon called my job and threatened to have me arrested and put in jail for internet fraud. She told me if I would send her the money by Western Union she would drop the charges. I asked her to send me the information where I needed to send the money and she stated she was not able to give me that information. I contacted my lawyer and gave him the information and he is going to report the incindent to the Attorney General's office.

I keep receiving threatening calls from Investigator Dickinson. She is calling my work telephone and threatening my receptionist. She says she is from Fl and is invesitigating legal matters in Alabama. She needs to speak with me regarding this matter! I spoke to her and to her and told her my husband was the district attorney and to forward the paperwork and we will handle it it...never heard from her again! Losers...go get a real job Ms. Dickinson!

[This post has been removed]

Today, at 9:58 AM, a lady claiming to be named Tammy Jones called MY PERSONAL CELL PHONE.  She was asking for a female's name this is NOT me.  I explained she had the wrong number & I stated my first name.  She got snotty asking me about knowing the lady she was looking for.  I told her I was NOT the lady she was looking for.  Then she actually asked me if i could get a message to the lady (even though I'd already explained it was not me & I don't know her)...so of course I said I'd take the message *LOL*

She then stated her name, Tammy Jones, & her number of 904-647-9334.  She stated it was a "legal matter"  Whatever!!  

Since I am disabled I have LOTS of time on my hands so maybe I'll sit and call them all day and tie up THEIR lines!!
