It's disconcerting to see how far back this goes. These guys COLD CALLED my friend at 9 tonight! It's particularly upsetting because he has a 6 year old daughter who is disabled from lead poisoning. These are good people, this is a good friend. I have half a mind to call an actual lawyer tomorrow or the day after.
... For whatever good posting that here does. Can there be recompense or am I just being stubborn? Are there lawyers who sue other lawyers? Am I just adding to the problem if I pursue this? I don't know, I'm at a loss on what to do here because these jerks can't be stopped, THEY WILL NOT STOP, and I only know what DOESN'T work.
Perhaps it's foolish, but I'd like to live in a world where I don't have to ask these questions, or worry that there may be others, 4 pages of others just on this thread, who are burdened with the same unfortunate circumstances.

I have got several calls from these people with the name Jason and Danny and Harry John. From a 310 547 8686 and 3476061267 and 2022396000. Told me I had three criminal charges collateral check fraud check deception and violation of federal banking. Then I made my lawyer call and they cursed him out. And threatened me with jail for six months. I tried explaining to them that I am eight months pregnant and I can't afford what they were asking for then I told him I have never got a loan in my life. So these people are full of it. But me and my lawyer are taking this further and we are suing cause they caused me to stress myself and my baby. Good luck guys just don't answer or get all the numbers blocked that they are calling from!

Who knew that ordering pet medications was illegal - ha ha! At least, that's where I think they got it - I can't think of where else except from your basic places like Amazon.com and a few times I've ordered running clothes from a place out in California (can't remember name), but I would guess those are safe and secure websites; although, I was very skeptical of the place in CA but I received my running gear so I figured it was okay.
Bottom line: I guess my name got on these scammers' lists and the # was.....(509) 671-9681. Has anyone else had any calls from this number?
When I confronted him he hung up on me!! Below are some questions that you may want to ask:
1: I asked why am I to send money when I don't feel I've done anything illegal and don't see any paperwork of charges, etc and have not heard my Miranda Rights?
2: Why are you not reading me my Miranda Rights? That itself is going to have an effect on any court proceedings.
3. Please give me your website so I can look up this information. Of course, he gave me just the general DEA website. So, I asked him to just give me any name of a coworker - front desk receptionist anything (since he told me his name and his lieutenant wouldn't show up b/c they're special agents). And, he wouldn't give it to me - kept changing subject.
4. I also kind of "fibbed" with him and told him that I looked up scammer phone numbers on the internet and said his # was on the list, so I'm not the one being investigated - turns out you are & you probably don't even know you're being investigated!!
5. I asked several random questions before he finally hung up on me that last question above was pretty much what did it - that's when he hung up on me.

Very threating intemidating phone calls. Collection companies can not arrest you at your place of employment, or press criminal charges without providing you with written notice.
Do not give them any money or any bank account information.

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam
January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers. Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.
When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid. Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago. The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names. It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are ?spoofed? numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer?s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.
When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent. These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer?s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer?s computer IP address. Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.
If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court. Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union. The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as ?We?re filing an affidavit against you? or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.
A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment. This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General?s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work. Despite the employee?s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an ?officer?.
?I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ?If that?s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming?,? stated the employee.
?It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,? Attorney General Six said. ?If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.?
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact. The notification should contain information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer?s arrest, or using the threat of violence.
More information is available on the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf.

Its seems to me like you are one of the SCAMMERS also. Obviously, you are foreign because you cant even spell right. For example you wrote: dint-didnt,confermation-confirmation,consequinces-consequences.
How weird another thing: "god bless you" at the end of your sentences(Thats what SCAMMERS are saying at the end of the calls after they terrorize people on the phone.

I never took a loan at Cashnetusa ... but they said I had taken a loan at cashnetusa dot net ... and when you bring up www.cashnetusa.net you get cashnetusa.com ..... and it is not even a payday loan company, it is a referral company to payday loan companies. They gave me my full social security number and my bank link with another credit union but I knew that I had never done this because that credit union account is a savings account, and you can't do a payday loan on savings. Please feel free to write me for further information; spacecadet85717@aol.com.

There is no debters prison. These people are a total and absolute scam. I have reported them for harassing phone calls to Local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies. I have also spoken with the State Attorney General Office, I was assured that they cannot arrest you, or take you to court, as they are a bogus collection agency, operating out of India or Pakistan.

just received my office from Andy Vincent. could not understand what he was saying. I ask him to speak english he became rude said he was going to arrest me.for check fraud. told me to calm down ( I think) and call 909-580-8997. Said he represented American law Division from California. This is a scam
| John 2010-04-22 11:52:07 Debt Collector |
It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more. These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection. (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.

I suggest that you ignore their threats and turn the tables on them by doing the following:
1) Give them nothing, and tell them nothing other than that you've reported them to federal and state authorities.
2) File a complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission here: https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
3) File a complaint with the consumer affairs division of your state's attorney general. The contact information for each state's attorney general is listed at www.naag.org Just scroll down to the national map and click on your state.
4) Since these crooks are using a telephone phone to extort money from you, report them online to the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov/
5) Contact an attorney to defend your rights and pursue these crooks. There are plenty of consumer law professionals who work on contingency in matters like this. Here are links to websites that either provide attorney referrals or are law firms that specialize in suing outlaw debt collectors:

@Jim, I called my county police department, and they have at least a 100 complaints against National Affidavit Processing, United Financial Crime Division, Nations Bank, or ACS, as well, and told me that it was a scam, and not to call the number back, and that they are trying to track down these people. I doubt you really owed any money, when the Florida, and West Virginia Attorney General have advised consumers to not fall for this. One of your representatives did this to someone that works in the West Virginia AG office, so I really doubt that person has a payday loan hanging around. You people called me about a payday loan that I supposedly took out after November 4,2009 in Ohio, why is this an important date, because Ohioans can't get payday loans, they were outlawed in the 2009 elections. We can get consumer loans now. which are different. Nice job trying to defend your company though.

I am an investigator with Baxter Credit Union in Chicago. Two of our customers received the same type of call. I am trying to find out how peoples personal information was compromised. Did you take out a loan with cashnetusa? That has been the only correlation i could find so far with the two cases that I have seen.
Thanks,

OMG - I have been getting these phone call also. My first call was Saturday, April 11th and it scared the crap out of me and I was already to take out $$$ from the bank yesterday to send to them until I searched their phone number and found all this information and it really put my mind at ease. I also had a email address and fax # they gave me on saturday. So, I emailed them and faxed them a letter telling them to stop calling me - I contacted the FTC, BBB, Secret Service Field Offices and my State Attorney's Generals office. I also told them I called the FBI and they have confirmed this is a SCAM!!!!
I'm so mad that they can try and scare people to death to send them money. I just called the guy up and now all of sudden I'm not in their system and he doesn't know any of the people who called me. Jerry Brown, Ralph Murphy or Mr. Johnson!!!!!!! He didn't recognize the fax # they gave me on saturday either so I asked him for his fax # and he gave me 213-995-4363 which is not in service!!!!

A consumer posting a complaint about these same scammers at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-831-7157 notes that 718-831-7157 is associated with an India-based "outsourcing" telephone bank. Though a reverse search on WhitePages.com shows that 718-831-7157 is an unlisted land line in New York City, information on Debtbuyers.Com shows that that number is used by India-based Intellisourze. (Source: http://www.debtbuyers.com/debtbuyers.asp ) My guess is that it's a VoIP phone number.
This is another piece of the puzzle that fits in perfectly with other information about this scam. There are some reports on 800Notes that have suggested that the crooks behind this offshore scam are also the crooks behind the notorious Bass/Ellis Crosby & Assoc./States Predisposition scams in Florida and Georgia. The interesting thing is that the number of complaints on here about the US National Bank/US Legal Investigation/Federal Investigation scam skyrocketed *after* April 7, 2008 when Florida obtained a $1.3 million judgment against Ted Ellis Crosby, shutdown his operations and barred him from ever conducting debt collections in Florida (Read http://myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsrel ... 5257424005858A6 ) There's certainly a good chance that the crooks placing these calls from India are doing so on behalf of the American crooks behind the Crosby/Bass/States Predisposition scams.

Though scam calls from these crooks have been going on long before May 8, the frequency of complaints about these calls increased considerably after Crosby was shut down in early April.
This is conjecture, but appearances suggest that Crosby and company were originally running a two-pronged payday loan scam operation -- with some calls being made from Jacksonville, Florida and other calls being made from a phone bank in India (and possibly other countries); then, after the Florida Attorney General shut down the Crosby scams in Florida, the Crosby crooks transferred most of their scam efforts to the India phone bank.
If you are targeted by these criminals, be sure to report them to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (most of which you can do online or over the phone):
1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.
3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone. Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org
5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)
By the way, here's just a small sample of numbers used by this particular group of scammers. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony organization names, thick foreign accents, and oddly worded threats that are so melodramatic and ridiculous that it's laughable:

This is a very active group of scammers in India; they are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobblygook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."
Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Legal Affidavit, Hopkins Law Office, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more. These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.
The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection. (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.

I have a Ryan Smith harrassing me. It's the same situation as everyone is having. I don't care if they call me but I don't want them harrassing my job or other family members. Have they stopped calling you? If so, how long did it take and how did you get rid of them?
