Oh thank you so much...I do feel a little safer knowing that.  That is what the compliance officer told me...they want your credit/debit card information more than they want your banking information.  I was going to close my account but I have a disabled father that I am caring for and his medication and medical bills are being drafted from there and it will be a hassle to change and all...however, the officer did put an alert on my account to watch out for any suspicious drafts that aren't my usual drafts since I don't ever write checks or use my card much.  I do hope they get caught quick because I know there are many people who will fall for it especially since they are so convincing and threating to come arrest you...and also especially since they know your address.  Also my friend told me that they will not go their ways to come find you...if they are scamming people for money...they probably sure don't have the money to be traveling to find you.  I guess I can be at ease at that because that is kind of true.  Thanks for responding to me!

I do not know for sure if they  have the bank info (besides the name)  My bank said they saw no attempts that weren't from me but I closed my account and opened a new one because I was worried However,...after doing so the sherriff I've been speaking to said IF they did get my bank number and get money from it ..there chances of getting caught are much greater..these people are more interested in getting credit card info or your debit card number.....thats why they needed some one to fax a WRITTEN permission to them...otherwise(i was told) they cannot .

momof3...do you know if they actually have your banking information?  I mean...just like everyone is saying...they do know the name of my bank.  I had notified my bank and had contacted a friend of mine who is the PA for our county and he said it is a scam.  I just didn't know if they actually have the account number, etc.  I also spoke to the Compliance Officer of my bank and he said that they only have partial information and is trying to convince you to give them the actual information.  He also said that mostly they want credit card information because in some foreign countries...all they need is the number and don't necessarily have to have the card.  Still...I'm nervous and I have been checking my account every hour to make sure.  I hope they do find this person and maybe we can all work together as well.  It really does sound convincing and today...I have received 3 calls from them but I did not answer.

This same thing happened to me yesterday.  He threatened me with arresting me at work or home, even arresting my parents. He had all of my personal information, my bank, the last 4 digits of my social security number, even my parents names.  He even called my boss, who alerted me this was a scam.  I went down and filed a police report and notified my bank.  The police are worried about identity theft, but my identity theft protection agency said it sounds like he was just trying to get money.  It still worries me though.  I can’t believe how many people this has happened to and I really hope this guy gets caught and he gets arrested!

Just received the call this morning.  Threatening to arrest me at work or home.  Claiming that they are filing suit againt me for $5,400 in my state for defrauding them.  That a deposit was made to my account and never returned.  They had my bank name and SS number.  I never had anything to do with this place or knew anything about it.  The guy mentioned his name was Daniel Desouza from Cyber Security.  What would be the best thing to do other than notifying my banks fraud department.

I just wanted you to know that even though you did take a loan or loans out,this has nothing to do with those. He is using your personal info to scare you...so he can get money from you. When he calls again,you should tell him to get a real job because you work hard for your money.

Don't be afraid of these people, By calling your sherriffs and alerting your bank,you are doing the right thing. Do not agree that any info they have is correct. The sherriff I spoke to said it may be the only way they can get money because no one will give them a real job,sounds harsh but probably true. He said it is NOT a lagitamit(sp) business,they are hackers/scammers. This will be all over the news soon..and I am praying God leads the law enforcment right to them..there time is running out. They absolutely want our money,so do not give them any info. about your bank..or you. The caller told me he is the "crime unit" Posing as one when your not is a felony,...so they can just keep racking up thier charges.

I got a call from this number threatening me that someone was going to show up at my house and arrest me for a cash loan I didn't pay.  I have applied online and I admit, I have a couple out, but I have always paid them, but I never heard of the company they said..."Cash Loans".  He threatened me and acted really nasty.  I was scared, and I was ready to fax documentation to them, but I asked about an address to put on the legal document, he argued with me and said that I didn't know what I was talking about to put my address and his address at the top of a business document.  They gave me a Fax number (714-845-0766) to fax a document with simply "I, name, authorize the creditor to make a payment of $1095.00, with the last 4-digits of my ssn and fax a copy of my drivers license.  They had all my information.  They had to get it from me applying online.  I really want to know if this is real or fake, but from the other comments, I think this might be someone trying to steal my money.

The same thing happened to me yesterday.  Got a message from a James Johnson on my cell phone...while I was checking my message a private call came through on my work phone and when I checked my message on there...it was the same guy only this time he said his name was Jacob Mauris (something like that).  When I called back to that number 951-755-1878 they put me through to a Jonathan.  He told me the same thing that I will be arrested today by the end of business day either at my resident or my employer.  He read me my affidivate which I have never seen stating that a Quick Payday.com has filed suit against me...which I have never heard of this company and even googled it and it didn't show up.  All these three people, if they were the same people, sounded like foreigners and even have my SSN, employer's name, and bank name.  I hope somebody find this company or person...I had contacted my bank to be on the lookout for it.

Got a call at work.  A female told my secretary it was regarding a legal matter.  When I called the number back, a male asked me for the last four digits of my social security number.  When I asked him who he was he said, AB Ryan from William & Scott Associates.  When I told him, I didn't know who that was, he got really nasty and hung up on me.  I have no idea who this is.

I got this same call this morning from some Middle Eastern sounding guy who left a message with my social security number on my voice mail both at work and on my cell.  Told me that the authorities were going to pick up me and my sister (which he gave her name) and my deceased boyfriends (his full name as well) and they also would be held financially and criminally charged.  I called them back and the guy asked if the last four of my social was correct I said yes and I asked him what it was about and he said I can't tell you.  I at this point lost my temper and said what the F*** is this about...he acted like he was offended then hung up on me and for hours I tried to call this number back and no one would pick up the phone.  A lady at work her daughter is a probation officer so she asked her to look into it and finally came back with that it is a scam and they are doing it all across the country pretty much.  I had to file a police report and call my bank and get in contact with all the Credit Bureaus...it is just a complete mess.

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.

To register a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General?s Consumer Protection Division, call 1(800) 432-2310 or visit www.ksag.org.

It happened to me today.  I gave no information to them.  I have closed my personal account and called the police.  They told me it was a scam.  You need to call the dept of justice and flag your SS# for safety reasons.  They also say to contact the credit bureau to monitor your credit report more frequently.
