These people are full of s'''t they need to stop calling people  with that mess. Always trying to get money out of someone. They need to get a real job and stop trying to scam people out of their hard working money. Call the Federal Trade Commission  on them...

These people are cons that got your informatiion probably from a payday loan application.  Tell them you know who they really are and you notified the FBI and you will see a different tone.  They will probably swear at you and hang up

I received a call from this number today and they left the exact same message on my voicemail, I search for the number online before I call them back
And when I called they told me the same thing as almost everyone else. BRAD & JOHNSON LEGAL ASSOCIATES! This is a complete scam, dont be scared, they cant arrest u over a loan specially if they didnt try to take the money out of ur bank account or income tax returns, & they absolutely cannont call and leave messages the way they did,thats completely unprofessional !

Prank Call
I received the following in a voicemail.  Vonage also transcribes the messages.

Date : Feb 06 2012 04:43:26 PM  
From : BRADENTON FL (19413577987)  
To  :


"This message is intended for Latonya Brooks. Look I know the very second you receive this message. I need you or your retained attorney off record to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My name is Al Smith and hotline to my division is 941-357-7987. I repeat that's 941-357-7987. Don't disregard this message. Return the call now. If you don't return the call and I don't hear from you all are doing you either, the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation unfolds on you. Goodbye" ... more. Please listen to your voicemail for the remainder of this message.

He was very rude, unprofessional and refused to give me straight answers. The story mirrors others above.  He told me that if I didn't not respond to him that I would end up paying $5700.00 when the case goes to court.   I asked him to send me something in the mail because I was driving.  He called later and I told him that I will just have my lawyer contact him because I think that would be best.  He then threatened to have me picked up at home or work.  I called back and informed them that the conversation was recorded and it is illegal to threaten to have me arrested even if the case was real.  further more I ordered him a verbal cease and decist and informed him that the call was being recorded.  He told me to do what I have to do and hung up on me.

I just received another call from the so called Mrs. Janet Brown. Get this now she is calling from a 916 phone number.  I told her/him that I spoke with the attorney the the Law office and the authorities in Florida and California and they were waiting for her to call me at this number.  She then quickly stated that she could not hear me and that she would call me back on her private line.  The idot called back and now the number said "private".  So she kept asking me who did I speak to and I told her the authorities and to send me the papers so that I can see them my self. She began to keep asking me who I spoke with and I kept saying the authorities. At that time I told her/him that I knew that this was a fraud and that the phone call was taped. She then stated that the authorities would be at my work or home to pick me up and I would be in jail. She/he then stated to me "Good Luck and then she hung up. I called the 916 number and guess what" the number is no longer in service".  I am about to play their game.

It's fun to call back this number and screw with these people.  If they want to screw with me and everyone else, we should all call back and mess with them. Someone should call saying they're from the FTC or FBI stating they are being charged with extortion, stating they are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the district attorney of the state of Florida is charging them  with felony false impersonation, criminal use of identification information for the purpose to harrass,thereby violating Florida's communication fraud act statute  775.082, Florida statute 817.02; Obtaining property by false personation.

These people are calling from a Florida number and truly are violating a handful of laws, many of which are felonies - specifically if they have obtained money from people.  

Granted they will know it's fake but this is the stuff they are freaking people out with stating they are being charged with fraud and so forth.Caller: Suanders and Walker

I just listened to a message left on my voicemail from a David Brown at this number (941) 357-7897. He had a strong accent so I highly doubt that is his real name to begin with. He said he expected a call back immediately from myself or my attorney and to not disregard the message. He also said If I didnt call back he just wished me luck as this would unfold before me. Never said who he was with, but I received a call very similar to this a few weeks ago from a supposed Matt Cooper at a totally different number but almost exact same message. When I looked that number up too people also claimed it was a scam! So annoying.

A woman with a very heavy Indian accent said there is a warrant out for my arrest on my SSN# and if I didn't answer her questions I would be in trouble. I told her I thought she was a scam and she got very angry. My voice had a huge echo on the phone. They said they were in Redington Florida. I hung up but she called back leaving a message saying the investigating officers would be at my house the next day or two to arrest me and put me in jail for 6 days until the judge could see me.  
I located the number for Saunders and Walker in Florida and was told they don't have an office in Redington and that they have received several phone calls about this. They took my info and said quote" THIS IS A SCAM" and that the other office is closed and someone will be calling me for more information tomorrow to try and track down the scammers. What ever you do, DON'T PAY THEM A DIME!!!"

TODAY, I received call from a number 941-357-7987 who started immediately trying to intimidate me saying they were going to make an example out of me and send me to jail unless we paid $750 saying that I was given this loan 2 months ago. NOT TRUE. I NEVER ACCEPTED ANY MONEY OR FUNDS. They said that they were with an attorney's office of Saunders & Walker. While I was on the phone, my spouse googled the phone number and found out that this is a scam that is going on with lots of people within the past 48 hours (on this website). They were very threatening and kept having me transferred to 4 different people, two of which claimed they were attorneys and saying they were going to send me to jail on Thursday if she didn't pay the amount due today and that they would pick me up at our home and hold me for 2 days until they take me to court then I could plead her case. They said they would NOT send me an email or any other information, but wanted to collect payment immediately and then said they would NOT allow me to pay, but would rather take me to jail instead as an example, basically wanting me to "beg" to be let off easy by paying the amount due. Also, they said they didn't want to jeopardize my "perfectly clean" background and credit (ALSO NOT VALID - I HAVE A PAST AND CRAP CREDIT). After I fibbed and told them that I CALLED Saunders & Walker and they have no records regarding her owing money and that this is a scam, they finally hung up (after 45 minutes on the phone). They used a whole string of psychological and intimidation tactics and threats. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS - DO NOT GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THESE PEOPLE. The dead give away here was also that the people she spoke to were from India

I got a call about an hour ago.  Jeremy proceeded to threaten me.  I told him I knew this was a scam and already reported them to the FBI.  He then told me it didn't matter I would be dead tomorrow.  What a bunch of idiots.  A professional company would not make such threats!

This number just called our place of business asking for one of our assistants. First hint.....my name is "Al Smith" and he can barely speak english.  Very rude when I asked questions and got very mouthy with me.  They couldn't give me a law firm or what it was regarding. SCAM SCAM SCAM. People don't be affraid to fight back. Sad as it is, so many people fall for this. It's your right to ask questions.  The law firm they claim to be is well aware of these people. Report them to the police.

I get a phone call from these scammers saying the were from some lawfirm. They said i was getting sued and that a police was going to deliver me a subpoena. Anyways at first I was threatned but when they didnt want to give their address or a letter of evidence that had their company name and address on it. Something just didnt feel right.So I called the place where I originally got the loan and they confirmed that they never called me earlier and that it sounds like a scam. So i call the place back the next day to tell them i know this is a scam and they said well you will be suppoenaed tomorrow morning and I said ok ill be waiting. Then he hung up. Its clear to me that its a scam.We all have posted pretty much the same experience.

Caller contacted a friend & coworker, talking about my "breech of contract" with a Payday loan Co.
Who I never borrowed money from.

Claimed the police would be arresting me tomorrow if several thousand $ was not paid.

They are full of s***, should be prosecuted by the FL DA's office.

Just got this same scary phone call today!  A "paralegal" claiming to be from Saunders & Walker Law Firm said I owed $785.36 from an online cash advance company called American Cash.  The man had a heavy Indian accent and he informed be that my case would be sent to the Attorney General's office if I didn't pay this amount today.  Also, I would be issued court papers either at my home or work and picked-up by the police by Wednesday.  What???   This person continued to say I have to pay $5000.00 if this case was sent to court.  This is a creepy SCAM call, but it has me wondering what information this guy has on me.  This guy needs to be caught already- I don?t need more stress added to my life.
Thanks everyone for being vocal about your SCAM experience.

i reported 941-357-7987 to the FTC about the call hopefully this will be settled. Its as if they want peopleto complain and pay lawyers to stop the harass ment. Not sure which is the scam them or real lawyers wanting money and potentially have these people do this cause ivve seen these complaints all over yet not on the news maybe someone should put it in the Media.
