I have no idea who this is.

they are scammers trying to get money out of you-stating that you owe for a payday loan you never got. they tell you they are downloading the case to the courts where u live and they really are idiots!! just dont give them any info. they also tell you that you will be arrested at your home or work place and that is not true!!

Hey Ron, If your neighbor gets anywhere following our friend Tony or Patrick (same badge number) would you please post any info? Use the 909-581-8828 number. Thanks. Susieq

This guy poses as a FDA agent and threatens arrest for previous internet medication purchases. It's my second time with "Agent Patrick". I wanted to play along to see if I could get the amount and place I was supposed to send my "bail" but he caught on and hung up.

He's not too bright. His dog was barking in the background. I asked him if it was bring your pet to work day. I think that's when he caught on.

This freak identified himself as a Federal Agent, badge number 3258-3, Anthony Williams. He said he had agents in the area that were coming to arrest me because somebody had stole my identity and had been receiving illegal drugs and that I had to go to court tomorrow in the Dominican Republic and show cause as to why the charges should not be filed. He said that if I paid a fine, he could negotiate with the investigators and he could remove the charges. Once I caught on, I called my neighbor who is a newscaster and he is going to investigate where the phone number is registered to. Man, these guys piss me off! They are committing felonies for impersonating an officer of the law.

I received a call today from a person claiming to be with the FDA. I have been getting calls from companies claiming to provide cheap meds - all I have to do is wire money via Western Union to either the Domincan Republic or to India.  After stringing them along for many days, I have refused to place an order and today received a call saying I'm being investigated. The person gave me a badge number and said wait- while I transfer you to the sargent. this is terrible and I think they are working together. He didn't have my personal info but he threatened me.

did you ever track these idiots down? such scammers they are

A man who had two first names, Like bill michaels,with heavy heavy middle east accent. called me at work & claimed he was from American Legal services. Said i owe money on a loan. which i do not. HE PUT ME ON WITH HIS SENIOR ATTORNEY AFFIDAVIT PROCESSOR and believe me his accent was even worse. What really made me angry is that I could not understand him.  He asked me if i had a lawyer. No, i said he said i better get one cause i am in trouble. I said ok, Give me all your  information and i will have a lawyer call you asap. 909 581-8828 is his number he said the address is East Justice Circle Bldg 11045 orange ca 92614.  It had to take 15 minutes to understand the address. I have been calling the number and i get Scott Snyders voice mail. This is some scam they got going!! Why can't they be stopped??

i have got the same call three times and he can keep calling cuz im not answering it..

I received messages yesterday and today about the same things you wrote about.  At first I thought it was money I owed but after is aggressive/abusive and threats I realized I have no idea what he is talking about.  I am planning on contacting a lawyer tomorrow to track this guy down.

This guy called me too.  He states he is with American Legal Services.  Saying his name is Joe Harris with an obvious Indian accent.  He states that my friend (whom he names) listed me as a reference/security and she is involved in a financial fraud.

Scam alert: Bogus debt collectors
By Leslie McFadden ? Bankrate.com
Monday, Aug. 3
Posted 2 p.m.
Bankrate reporter Leslie McFadden contributed this entry.
This scam isn't technically about credit cards, but it is scary enough to post a warning. The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.
The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.
What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references.
"The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.
Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.
The BBB offers these tips:
?    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt.
?    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call.
?    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
?    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

Caller claims his name is Sean Woods, or something like that (I can barely understand him).  And according to him, he works for "American Legal Services, a law firm".

This guy is the most aggrevating human on the planet.  Firstly, he needs to learn to speak english.  Secondly, he needs to learn the legal system, because he has called me repeatedly, threatening to contact my employer, my manager, my supervisor, my friends, my family, and some supposed references that he says I gave him.  Furthermore, he says he will tell them all that I am a very bad person, that I owe thousands of dollars, and that I am a criminal(none of which are true).  Threats of that nature are entirely illegal.  I have all of the messages he has left, saved in a format that I can email to the State Attorney General, and plan to do that as soon as I have a case opened.  The scary thing is, the idiot has my social security number.  If anyone else hears from this guy, hang up or better yet, do not answer.  Save all voicemails from him, so that you can build a case.  He is persistent, so don't just think that he will go away, he won't.  He needs to be taught a lesson.

If/when I can determine who he is, and where he is calling from, I'm going to launch a civil suit against him for harassment, and if it turns out that he really is calling on behalf of some company, I'll sue them too, for even bigger bucks.  It's time to fight back people!  Please post your experiences with this moron on here, so everyone can see it.  Keep up the fight!
