Same situation for me with this "Sam Wilson", except he was yelling at me that I stole money and that a warrant would be issued for my arrest on Monday, so now I am heading off to my local PD in Chicago and reporting these scammers..

These people are capable of anything they called us too saying they were fincancial accountabilty assoc. and were collecting for an unpaid internet loan that i do not have. they threatened to take me to court. they even called my job knew the last four of my social and my bank name. they are a fraud. Dont give in and just let this go contact local law enforcement file a report and then contact your local fbi. we have filed a report with both>you can also contact the better business bureau

I received a call from 714-598-4239 on my cell phone. Didn't answer it. Then I get a call from 000-012-3456 (how convenient). Again I didn't answer it, or bother with the voice mail until the same bogus number showed up on my work caller id. I listened to both messages, who seemed to have a thick accent and very mechanical.  It tells me to call the 714 area code number back immediatly or face serious legal action, that they hope I choose what is in the best interest for me and my family, and God bless me.

So, I call back on the 714-598-4239 number. I ask the idiot what his name was and the name of the company that was threatening my family and myself.  He asked me for the number I called from.  Did some fake tapping and said Ms. B I need you to verify personal information like my Social Security Number, home and work address and bank account information. I told him I would give it to him if I could have all of his!  I once again asked the company name and he told me FAA. Then when I asked why he was calling, he told me to "shut up and listen" as he read some BS Affidavit stating I have 3 charges against me for non-payment of a payday loan.

I told him that I repaid my loan, in full, have receipts and documentation from my bank showing that. He called me a liar and said he would not have the papers to have me "taken into custody" if that were the case. He then asked me if I was "the employer" of the company I work for and I laughed. He told me that I wont be laughing Monday morning when his "agents" come in, the explain to everyone in earshot that they were there to arrest me for fraud and other charges, escort me to the court house where I will have to pay over $9000.00 bail. So, then I get real fired up!

I told him that I work in the legal field and did collection work of over 10 years, and the threatening he was doing was illegal.  He hung up on me.  So I called back and demanded that he send me proof of the alleged debt to my fax or email. He refused and hung up on me. So, I called back. Funny I got the same guy, who tells me that I have three charges, and they are filing suit with my local court. So I asked, which is it, am I being sued, or being arrested?  Stumbling over his words and frustrated he started screaming at me. I told him that he threatened me, hung up on me and now is screaming at me and no real business would do such a thing.  I demanded on the telephone number to this loan company, or his supervisor.  He tells me he is transferring me over to the debtor.  

After a brief pause of putting his hand over the mouthpiece and not on hold, I get this guy "bruce" (oh - - none of them would give me their full names either!) After talking to this guy, he starts off that he is the loan company's rep but later reveals he is the first guy's supervisor. Then he tells me that I owe $1,189.56 for the late charges and past balance due. I tell him that I want a copy of a breakdown, you know the one that they HAD to file with the Court in the law suit, faxed or emailed to my me. He told me that they have sent me over 15 emails and I never responded. I told him that I never got them or they would have had a response from me as I would have them served with a lawsuit as I repaid them. He tells me that I was out of line and the documents would be sent to me AFTER I pay! BS!!!

So, I argue with him that I work in the legal field and have for over 18 years and I have the right, by law, to dispute a debt and demand documentation/proof of the debt.  He argued with me and told me he was not sending me anything and I should speak to "his attorney". I told him I would be delighted to so I could advise him of his workers placing his license to practice at jeopardy as I would not only contact the California Bar Association, but the BBB, FTC. Office of the State's Attorney for California and Maryland, and everyone else I can find.  He asked what that was supposed to mean and I told him point blank in my state, this so called FAA company has broken several laws for creditors/debtors rights, including:

1. contact you at unreasonable places or times unless you agree; I DIDN'T
2. contact you so often as to constitute harassment; THEY DID YOU CALL ONCE, LEAVE A MESSAGE AND WAIT!
3. contact you at work if they know your employer disapproves of personal calls; THEY DID
4. reveal your indebtedness to anyone except you and your lawyer in most cases,although they can contact others to find out where you live and work; THEY THREATENED TO
5.threaten violence or harm against you, your reputation or property; SEE ABOVE
6. use obscene or grossly abusive language; OOPS THAT WAS ME!!

He then told me that he was "goverened by the Federal Government" and I told him, not according to the BBB, and the Office of the State's Attorney in California where his area code stated he was from ... which now leads to the law of : [D]ebt collectors may not misrepresent the truth. For example, they may not use a false company or creditor name, or give out untrue credit information about you. They can't falsely imply you've committed a crime, or say you'll be arrested if you don't pay, indicate papers are legal or government documents when they are not, or threaten to garnish your wages or take your home or possessions without a court judgment, except in the cases of federally guaranteed student loans that are in default.

So, I asked to be patched through to this so called attorney and low and behold I was hung up on again. Funny thing is, they WILL NOT take my calls now! I have called back several times and get transferred over to a fax machine or get this same guy trying to disquise his voice and ultimately hung up on when I ask to sepeak to the attorney. I tried the other numbers listed here 415-200-0257 714-312-5854 (straight to a fax) 818-451-4038 717-395-9248 (immeidately asks for pin access code) If this is a "business" or agency that represents the Feds, then why is there no receptionist, no voice mail, why do I echo everytime I did talk to them, why does every one have thick accents, why is there no 800 number, why are there so many different numbers, why is it so difficult to get a straight answer or piece of paper??

So, I called the loan company and talked to their head supervior.  I was informed that they know about this and have provided their workers with a flyer to alert their clients.  They have contacted the authorities in California, and all states with the above area codes.  They instructed me to contact the State's Attorney for CA and MD, file a complaint with BBB, file a complaint with FTC at FTC.com, contact all credit bureaus, and contact Home Land Security at 989-497-0580.  This scam is operated by people from India.  They assured me that their computer systems were not tampered with, yet this scum bag had all my info, including bank account number, social security number, best friends name and number.  She explained that when you fill out those forms that state "let us find you a loan" that is where they get this information.

I am now on my way over to the California and Maryland State's Attorney web site to file a complaint, BBB to file a complaint, call my bank and credit bureaus, pay a skip tracer to get me the carrier of the phone number so that I can file a complaint with them for their subscriber using their services for scams and threats (although I am sure they are all prepaid, throw away ones), call my carrier and complain of phone harassment and then file my own little law suit against them for violation of debtors rights and what ever else I can find!!!

DO NOT give these people any info!!! Don't let them scare you into "being arrested".  It is absolutely against the law what they are doing.  And trust me when I tell you that if these scum bags are found, I will hire an attorney to help me file whatever lawsuit I can against them (my firm doesn't do that).  DO let them scare you into contacting the credit bureaus and banks with the fact that they DO have your personal information!!!

Same jerks just called me at work twice.  Told them the first time I knew they were a scam.  Second time they tried to make me think they weren't, so I just told them to take a hike and don't call me back then hung up.  I've asked the secretary here to take their number if they call back.

Scary thing is they knew my ssn, address, a couple of people I know as "references" (according to them) and my old bank.

Filed an FTC complaint.

Got a call from George Miller from Financial Accountability Association. The connection was very muffled as it seemed to be out of the country. He had a lot of information on me, SS#, address, etc. That is the scary part. He also demanded my retained lawyer's information because there is a supposed case against me. Yet, he could not tell me by who and for what. This is a complete scam.

Yep. Same deal. Only, I've received a call from Financial Accountability Association using the number 810676161. This is the second time in the last six months, (A few months prior a lady tried this same thing. Claiming I would also have a warrant for my arrest and would be arrested the following Monday.), the most recent happening the day this was posted.

The first call was from a lady, who then re-directed me to a man (Familiar terrible english from above.) With very plain names. (It was a while ago, so I'm having trouble recalling them exactly.) This time, I was harrased and then given the run around. Hold for hold, in the background you could hear multiple conversations happening, assumingly other being ripped off. I even think I heard somebody use the word pin, as in Personal Identification Number. The first time, I became upset and irate immediately using foul language with the man. He quickly returned threatening me, and telling me I "will find more trouble than I will ever know." (This post is getting big, Sorry.)


The most that makes me nervous is they knew my SSN, my address, and other sensitive info that I did NOT give them. I'm looking into having my records locked right now somehow to prevent any fraud, and I will be waiting for their next call, eagerly.

I GOT A CALL FROM 9516434350 AND 11028551013 AND 810676161 , FROM A CALL DANIEL, MATTHEW, RALPH, AND ROX ... I HAVE ATTORNERY THE TRY TALKING WITH THEM AND SHE CHECK OUT SOME INFORMATION, IT IS A RIPP OFF THEY HAVE CALLED MY JOB AND THEY CALL MY CELL ABOUT 10 TIMES , IN LAST WEEK...DONT GIVE NO MONEY, I CONTACT FTC AND ATTORENY OFFICE FOR NC....I DONT CARE WHERE THEY FROM..WHAT YOU DO TO OTHER , WILL COME BACK TO YOU..I DONT CARE WHAT LANUAGE YOU SPEAK

I had the exact same thing happen to me only the number was from 951-643-4364 which according to a reverse number lookup is in Arlington California. I had about 15 calls from "mona wilson" who left voicemails(indian accent) stating I needed to return the call "the minute I received it" and when I called back to see what was going on, I got a guy named "max sanderson.  He had a very thick Indian/Hindu accent. He told me he was with Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans and Financial Accountability Association. According to a google search, neither of these exist. He first read all these charges against me involving some unpaid payday loan which I never had.  He said I needed to appear in California Superior Court on Monday. When I asked why I had not been notified sooner by written affidavit in the mail, he said payday loan companies don't do business by mail. I asked how much money I was supposed to owe and he said  I could just send 785.00.  I told him I didn't have any money, he got mad and said "do you want to settle this or not?". When I said I had no idea about this debt and I wanted to check out his company, he really got angry and said he would contact my employer. Later, the mona wilson character called and left another email indicating I would be sorry if I didn't comply with their request.

Have any of you noticed a bank charge of $80, with an 800# in the memo that you do not recognize.  Our company was contacted today saying they had a bank charge of $80 twice that they do not know who the Payee is (GI Holding Company).  Our company 800# was in the memo.  Might beware.

It looks like our little scammer is a movie buff folks! He called my co-worker at our place of business and said his name was John Mclain (Bruce Willis' characters name in the movie DIE HARD). When I asked him what he thought about the movie and if he was related to the fictional John Mclain, he got all excited, almost had a smile in his voice. It was great ... I even started laughing myself! I totally through him off of his game with taking the converstaion there. If you do a google search for some of the other names listed in the above posts, you'll find that most of them are actor's names as well!

He's not that smart and easily broken ... don't give this RETARD the satisfaction of getting upset, flustered, and angry JUST LAUGH IN HIS FACE ... and most certainly DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ME TODAY. SO FAR I HAVE HAD 6 PHONE CALLS TODAY FROM A MALE AND A FEMALE STATING THAT I NEEDED TO GET MY ATTORNEY TO CONTACT THEM. IF I DID NOT THEY COULD NOT STOP WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND THEY WISHED ME THE BEST. I SHOULD HAVE MY ATTORNEY CONTACT THEM. MAYBE I WILL. THE PHONE NUMBER THEY CALLED FROM LISTED AS 000000.

So i looked up to see where this number might be.  It appears to be a BOOST Mobile cell phone.  I tried to call and speak to someone, but actually got hung up on by Boost.  Maybe I was not clear when I started talking but the rep just hung up when I said this phone number was all over the internet.

a man very rude by the name of ryan moss called telling me that i a claim has been filed against me and he has an affidavit on it? he couldn't give me much info and wanted me to contact him back by the end of the day otherwise i have to be at court by 11am the next day??? well i called my atty right away and there was nothing filed against me, which means these f**ckers are scammers.

A man by the name of Gene Jones Called my husband at work and at home with a very heavy accent telling us that he needed to pay them 9,000 dollars or he could pay 300.00 when he was told we would not pay he said that my husband would receive papers at his job to be terminated and he would be put in jail,he was very rude and nasty. I went online and looked this number up and found out it was scam. these are the #s that they have been calling from 909-743-5589,102-855-1013 when ever i've tried to call the number back it only goes to a voice mail pls beware and do not give into these snakes it's sad when the United States give these people the chance to be free in our country they come and try to scam hard working people out of there money.

I received to messages at 9:30pm last night on my work phone from a man with an accent by the name of Steven Reid from the Financial Accountability Association telling me that I am being sued and need to call them immediately. The number left was 909-743-5589.  When I called the following morning he said that I needed to be in court on Monday with my two references and the court paperwork will be sent to my place of work. And the results of the lawsuit will be given to my company.  I asked him what he had as my place of work and he didn't have that information.  I asked him what this lawsuit was for and he said it was a payday loan that I didn't make payment on.  I asked why I never received any notification of this and he said that 22 messages were sent to my email address.   He said I owed 960.23 and I needed to pay all of it up front.  I said there was no way that I could but I could pay 300 upfront and the rest in payment plans. I was about to make a payment pretty much b/c I was scared and as I was talking to him I researched his information online and found it was a fraud.  I told him over the phone that I'm not making a payment b/c I found out he was a fraud. He said, "well that's your choice and you will pay the consequences."  DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEy.

I just received 5 more calls from a woman coudn't understand her5 name and from a Ryan Moss??? HEAVY HEAVY ACCENTS...not clear what they want only that I will be arrested and they are coming to my work...
this is scary!!

I also got the same call yesterday morning at about 10:15 am the numberthat wasused was 1-818-296-4014 and the guys named that he used was "James Austin" he began to tell me that I had took out a payday loan and refused to pay it back and that Itook it out on 5-8-08 and that the company us national bank had sent me 16 e-mails in regards tomy acoount. hethen began to state that Iowed him 876.41 and that if Idid not pay yesterday they would send the police to my job and have mearrested for check fraud and something else ,by this time I'm crying because I have children so he says ok mama you can do a payment plan of 300.00 today and the rest at the end of the month. I said ok can Isend you a money order or better yet western unionJames said no that . He stated that i could only use a debit or master card. I gave him the numbers because Iwas afraid later when Igit off the phone I called my attorny and explained what just happened they said I had been scamed and to call my bank immediately and stop all activity I was so mad I called that sob back and told him what my atorney told me he got upset and said the people will be there tommorow which is today to arrest me and he hung up I hope Inever hear from these people again but ifIdoIknowhow to handle them.

I recvd a call from this person with a very strong Hindu accent.  I could barely understand anything he was saying, but basically he told me I had 3 charges against me and had been sued and found guilty of bank fraud, cyber online fraud and I forget what else. He was telling me I owed $700.00 but did not have the option to pay in payments. Either the entire 700.00 now or else they would be at my job on Monday to arrest me, give my job paperwork saying I have committed fraud and a court order to fire me, that I would not see my kids again for a long time because I owe a pay day loan and I stole money. Then this guy ask me if I have a window in my house, I said of course, he tells me go open your window right now and you will be enlightened with everything you need to know about this call.  I quickly hung up and called the police. Police are unable to do anything, and it appears this idiot has called many others, scammed money, and will continue to get away with it. Everybody, just learn from this and beware. This guy wouldnt tell me his name, but later called and left a msg on my phone with name "Patrick Johnson".
Shame on these horrible people who victimize individuals for money and personal gain.  Its disgusting.

this foreign jack*** keeps calling me. i will curse this a**hole out every time

I received a call from a man named Ryan Moss and unfortunately I have turned over three hundred dollars to this company.  If you ask questions they get aggrevated and they tend to want to get off the phone with you.  Asking to speak with a supervisor is almost impossible.  He was very rude telling me that I have a court date the very next day.  He also stated that I owed 10,000 but we could "settle" for 1089.00 and I had until 5pm to get it to them.  Eric Matthews is another man that I spoke with just a heads up.

This person has called 39 times today up until 10:30 at night.  When asked to speak with supervisor I was placed on hold and the same person got back online pretending to be the supervisor.  When I asked for the office address and company name, the hung up.

His name was Jason Davey

I received the same type of phone calls, it is truly unfortunate that there is nothing that can be done to stop this nonsense.

Man and Woman have called me from this number about 10 times today on both my home number and cell phone. They have a very heavy Hindi sounding accent and am pressing me for information that I am unclear about and I do not want to speak to them...something is wrong here

I recieved a call on my main work number..stating it was URGENT that I call this person back..SPENCER REED was the name they left..when I called back I got a voice mail..What a bunch of crap..they are messing with the wrong person..

I have also been getting phone calls from this number except my comes up unknown number and when my guy "Jason Davis"(who cant speak english)leaves a message the number he leaves to call back is 909-743-5589 and when you call it back it says the mailbox is full. I was told that I also stole money and had a warrant out for my arrest on monday. I was told that I have 3 crimes on my record and when I pull my record there is nothing on it. When my husband asked for him to send us something in the mail he refused. I think I am also going to report this to the local PD.

I have received over 50 calls from this number today when you answer it is some foreign guy that can't speak english and says that he needs my attorney information, but when asked what this is regarding never answers the question. The last time I spoke to him he started swearing at me when I told him that if he called my phone again I was going to file a harassment claim against him. He said his name was Andrew Jones.

A man from this number called me stating his name as John O'Connell, he also had a heavy accent. He called me at work 3 times, leaving angry messages stating that if I disregarded the call all he could do was "feel sorry for me and wish me goodluck". Unfortunately, I deleted the messages - but since he called so many times in one day I'm sure he'll call again. Since I'm at work now and can't go today, first thing tomorrow I'm closing my bank account. Never can be too sure with this filthy thieves!

I received a call from Sam Wilson stating that i took out a payday loan that was not paid back and that i am being charged with bank fraud & electronic wire transfer fraud and i have a court day on 08/13/2010. This man knew the name of my bank and ssn i didn't give him a chance to ask for anything i advised him he had the wrong person and hung up. I received the call from a 209-729-3813
