Got called literally 5 minutes ago and some dude with the thickest Asian accent I've ever heard (and I'm asian) left me a message saying they were IRS and needed me to call them back right away. Nice try, do***ebag. I couldn't understand literally anything they were saying. Will report this to my attorney general.

Called my work phone and threatened me with jail. Said he had my ss number. said he was from a lw office.

You are correct.  I will never do anything on-line again.  I learned my lesson as well.

100% scam artists. Sound like they are from Pakistan. They cursed me out when I didn't give out my social security number over the phone. Beware! Do not give out any information to these people. They also use different names.

I just received a call from this number as well!  He has a heavy accent and was asking for someone I don't know, he knew the last 4 of their social.  He said he was an attorney.  I advised him to get someone on the phone that could speak ENGLISH!!!!! Needless to say he tried to talk over me, and it got ugly.  He better not call back, when I call the number it just beeps, nobody picks up.

Just this morning on 10/10/13 I got a phone call from 9162599381 and a woman with indian accent threatened me that if I dont pay $745.29 before 12 noon I would be arrested. She got all my information correct.The same number called my job and informed my supervisor that I was going to be arrested for a loan I dont remember taking. I hurriedly went to the bank and had this amount in my hand. Then she instructed that I should not pay by Western Union or by cheque. My wife quickly googled Adams Spencer and the associated phone number and found out that it was a scam. God save us from these criminals.

I received a voicemail from this number stating that I had three judgement against me and that the cop will arrived at my house in one hour to arrested me and put me n jail for six months. this is a scam I got scared n cme hme but nating happen no police at all
he had a accent too state that his name was paul Johnson n he is a state attorney. be careful on this number

called 3 times within a 10 minute period. I told him not to call me again and that I was going to call the CA  state attorney general. same person that has call me before.  poor English. heavy ascent

word of advice. DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM. once you do they will harass you. even after you think you got rid of them in a few months they will keep trying. i have changed my cell number so they dont have that now but my work number cant change so they try calling that number. lucky for me im the one who picks up the phone so when i get a "can i speak to (my name)" i always ask who is calling and if its them they usually say "i am calling from law office" i js say "she no longer works here, is there something i can help you with?" and they hang up right away.

But last year when this started they called my phone but i didnt recognize the number so i didnt answer, and then they called my work and started telling me i had 3 counts of fraud against me and my social security number. and they said i was going to be sued but i can settle it out of court if i pay them 180$. so i told them i would call them back. so i called my dad and then we went to my banker and he said that he gets calls about these ppl all the time. BECAUSE THEY HAVE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER so he js recommends that i keep my social security on watch and js change my bank account number. so i did that. n he told me they were a scam and to js call all their bluffs. once they realize they arnt getting any money out of u they will move on to the next person on their list. so i did that... "WE ARE GOING TO SUE YOU".. "go ahead send me my subpena"..... "YOU WILL BE ARRESTED AT WORK IN AN HOUR"...  "go for it, im right here waiting"... "WE WILL TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT"..."good luck with that since i already changed it" then they hung up. every 2 or 3 months they will call my work but i js give them the same "she doesnt work here" story and they leave me alone. i will soon be rid of them for good tho cuz i am leaving this office so a completely unrelated job so i will never have to deal with them again :)

916-259-9381 called twice didn't say anything

I received a call from a Robert Wilson calling from 916-259-9381, He called work number and had a very thick accent but I heard something about m social secruity number and that he would turn me over for theft.  When I call back no one picks up.

Total Scam, this is the 2nd one to call me this week

I have received several calls from this phone number also this year wanted to know why I hangup on him. he claims to be a state attorney and that he has a approved payday loan. he wants me to give him my banks information so he can process the loan. his

My work called me today and told me a person had called them saying he was a lawyer and using the name Allen Brooks saying it was a legal matter and  also Left a message on my cell phone. Very heavy middle eastern accented man the 916-259-9381 number, when I called it back, the voice mail said it was Adam Spencer. I'm getting tired of these really sick people

CONTUNIES OT CALL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITH VERBAL THREATS

I just received a call from this number stating he is an attorney and there is a criminal charge against me.  On top of that he is telling me I will be arrested and lose my job.  So I did kindly call him back and tell him I work for the Police. I called the number back to ask what company he represents, he hung up.  I keep calling and he keeps hanging up.

SCAM - He claims to be with a law office of John A Best licensed in the state of CA - if you look him up he is not a member of the Bar.  They claim to be processing a fraud claim and threaten to have you arrested if you don't pay up asap.

they called me and I "played the game". They said I owe $495.51 for a past-due payday loan; but if I send the money, they can call the courthouse and stop the sheriff from coming to my job! I don't have a payday loan. They hung up. These web sites are lying. They are not secure. Don't apply for a payday loan on the internet. Call it in.

I was called by a man saying he was Shawn Martin with John Abrams office this morning and threaten me on my voice mail and it has happened by several other men with the same accent and same story but just different numbers.  This is a scam and so block them and if you do not know how to block numbers at home or cell and even work you can contact the companies that you use and explain to them and they will block them for you.

Report them to the FTC and your State Attorney General.  -- Let your tax dollars work for you, besides, it's their job to prosecute these types of scammers.

In the meantime, whenever they call YOU take control of the conversation and DEMAND:
--Company's FULL name
--Company's physical address
--Company's local telephone number
--State of Registration
--CCA#

Anytime they try to speak saying anything else, just speak louder and repeat: UNTIL YOU PROVIDE ME WITH THE INFORMATION I REQUIRE, NOTHING, I REPEAT, NOTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY IS OF ANY IMPORTANCE TO ME.  NOW, provide me with:

and/OR
Buy a whistle and blow it in the phone.
If you have have any OLD country western CDs, put them on full blast and hold the phone by the player.
Tell them the call is being recorded.
Tell them your phone is being wire-tapped by (pick your choice) law enforcement for fraud (or whatever).
If you recognize the number, answer the phone: "Anti-terrorist Unit, how can I direct your call?"
Pretend you think they're a take-out restaurant and order a meal. Then get mad when they can't repeat the order back to you.
Be inventive and creative.  Have some fun and/or use them as a way to vent your general frustrations that day!

These type people don't know how to react when they can't intimidate the person being called.  
It's YOUR phone.  They have NO right to invade YOUR home/life with their scams.  So, have some fun and give them some payback!

I am having the same issues with the people.  I kept picking up the phone and letting them listen to "dead air" don't waste my time!  Thanks for posting i feel much better.

I keep getting these calls from a Mark White attorney. Cant understand a thing he is saying. I can understand some of the things like I supposedly have a lawsuit with the states attorney. I have gotten payday loans about 2 years ago but they were paid IN FULL! Its hard enough to swallow your pride to get these types of loans but it was my only answer at that time. Now after going through that humiliation, I have to deal with these people who are very good at scaring me. I would really like to get an attorney but have no money to do that. Please, please if anyone knows who can help or maybe make calls to this guy to get him to stop calling my work and my cell, I would greatly appreciate the help. I am practically begging at this point. Thank you

I got the same call and it had me in tears. these people should be a shame of themselves

This foreigner keeps calling my cell phone and business phone. I can't really understand a word he says, and he is as dumb as a rock. I told him 3 times that I was the person he was asking for when he called and he still asked a 4th time. He keeps threatning me with a lawsuit and court and arrests and all kinds of stuff half of which I can't understand what he is saying. I can't really understand who he says he is or the law office he is with. I think I got the name John out of his little speech.

Someone from this number has been calling my cell phone and work number asking if I have a lawyer and saying they are calling for the attorney general. The man is very rude and has a strong Indian accent. He advises the Attorney General's name is Adam Spencer.

THEY CAN NEVER TELL YOU WHEN A DEPOSIT OR APPLICATION WAS APPLIED FOR...SCAM AND REMEMBER THERE IS ONLY 2 THINGS THAT YOU CAN BE ARRESTED FOR.
TAX AVAISON AND CHILD SUPPORT

Calling me at work and at home saying that he represent an attorney for a company that I owe and want me to give them my information. I told them let me have my attorney call the attorney that he's representing. Then he cussed me out and hung up the phone.

This person has called my job many times. I called back and spoke to someone with a very tick accent and he told me I owed 748 dollars. He told me he was sending the police to my job in an hour to arrest me. I tried calling back and no one answers. He had me scared for days but now after reading this I feel so much better. How do I get this man to stop calling me??!! Please help.

This number called my direct line at work 7 times and didn't leave a message at all, figuring it is a scam as they are calling for someone else and not me!!!!

After receiveing about 15 calls a day for the past 3 days from this number stating they are a law firm from WI, I called back & asked the state and was immediately hung up on.  I then called the legit attorney's office and reported it. They are aware and have filed a complaint with the State & Fed Atty Gen office. I hope they are busted and have to repay every cent they have scared people into giving them. Money they have stolen!!
