I also recieved a call from these people claiming to be Debbie Smith and Kurt Wagner.   They claim they are from "Law office of Shawn Khorrami".  When I refused to give out information, the man got VERY hostile and said he would speak to my superior and call my manager.  (Very heavy accented male).  I went to the local authorities and they said it was certainly a scam and just avoid the calls.  Unfortunately, they are unable to do anything unless a crime has actually been commited!!!!  Ugh!!!!

Same aa all the above.  Received my call on 10/16.  Accent, very loud background noise.  Threats of arrest of check fraud.  Gave personal information to 3rd party in office.  Will not call back; putting documents together to file complaint with Washington State Attorney General.

They called my place of employment and left a voice mail on my work voice mail stating that I had better call this number as soon as I got the message or legal action would be taken the same day.  Half of the message I could barely understand because the man had such a heavy Indian accent I could hardly understand him.

I am the actual owner of AMG Financial LLC which is a small collection agency in Seattle WA.  Our Website is AMGLLC.COM.  Over the past couple of months we have received several complaints all very similar to these.  Over the past week or two the complaints have increased to the point of us removing our website.  I believe once they found the website they were referring people to make it appear they were legitimate.  These people are not legitimate, they are criminals.  DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY OR GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.  My guess is they are not located in the United States and trying to shut them down will be difficult.  I tried calling the number and they just hung up on me and then stopped answering the phone.  We have also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Thank you AMG Financial for warning people of this scam. I contacted your office today and have followed through and filed complaints with the Attorney General, FTC, local police department and even the FBI. There are various numbers that come up on caller ID for this company all out of area and international. Your good name should not be ruined by these individuals.

David Johnson with the Financial Crime Investigations Department threatening me that I best call him or my job and home address will suffer the consequences.  A guy with an Indian accent.  Caller ID phone #716-141-7244  but he left this #646-918-5170 to contact him

i called micheal back this morning just to harass him some.when i asked him how many people they had scamed out of there money he hung up ..this is just one of many long days for him .. i think everybody should call him every chance they get and tell him what you think of people who scam others ...i know i intend to..

Received a telephone call at my place of employment demanding that I call him back immediately or that legal action would be taken against me.  A male with a heavy accent supposedly named "John Smith".  Said he was calling from LLC law offices.

I called back the number and all I get is a busy signal.

Same as all the others. Thick Indian accents. I am going to be arrested on three charges.  But when I questioned them about the specifics, name, address, phone number, exact charges, when, etc I was transferred to a "supervisor".  Name was Brad Williams.  He said it was about a payday loan I took out in Sept 07.  They said it was Advance America Cash Advances that the loan was through.  He had my ssn, bank I was with at the time, work phone, date of birth. I am nervous that this person had so much info on me.  My caller id only said "Qwest restricted" but I was told to call back 954-342-5707.  This is scary!

I also got the exact same call from this man. He called from 1037680433. His return phone number was 954-342-5707. Only he said he was "Stephen Knox". I could not understand anything this man said, his accent was VERY thick, He read my correct social security number to me and I refused to answer if it was correct. He started yelling at me about "I need your lawyer's information right now..." blah blah blah. I proceeded to tell him I wanted him to discard of my information and I was very upset. I straight up called him out as a scam artist and said I was going to file complaints about it. He proceeded to say "This is not a joke you are going to be arrested for 3 criminal charges. Then I called my lawyer and had him deal with it. I want this man to be stopped. I am so unsettled with the fact this man has my social security number, because the police department said there was nothing they could do; they get calls like that every day. F***IN BU***HIT.

I had the same exact problem as listed above. An "Officer John Meyers" from AMG (or D cuz they are so hard to understand) LLC Law offices under the Criminal Investigations office (WHAT??!!) called and said that criminal charges have been placed against me for something that I owe and I will be arrested tomorrow if I didn't pay this astronomical total right then.  SO I replied then come arrest me cuz this is nothing but a scam so he told me to F off and hung up the phone.  I then called back and spoke with a "Curt Wagner" who when I asked his company name phone number and supervisor name replied "c**t I don't have to tell you anything" and hung up!!!!  This is absolutely rediculous that companies can do this to people.  If anyone has advice on how to make them quit calling I'd appreciate any help!!  Thanks

I just a call from a guy claiming to be an Officer John Meyers.  The phone number he called from looked weird.  He said that federal charges have been brought against me for a Pay Day Loan that was never paid off in 2007. I don't anything to anyone.  He said that he wanted the name and phone number of my attorney so that he could fax over legal documents.  Oh, and that I would be taken to the courthouse to have my case heard out. I told him to fax anything he had to my attention (to my fax number) and he refused. he said there would be a conflict of interest.  I know that's a load of crap, I've worked for a few lawyers. I then asked him which courthouse I had to go to because I would take care of it directly with them.  After I said that he said that an officer would be at my house on Friday morning to arrest me and that they would also be contacting my references and employer.  He also gave spewed off my personal information.  He had my full name, date of birth, social security number, address and company contact information.  I didn’t verify anything over the phone.  He said that my info was provided by Advance America Cash Advances.  He even had the names and phone numbers of 2 personal references.  It definitely sounded like a scam.   I told him that I needed his phone number so that I can call him back with the information he needed.  After he gave me the number I typed it into my search engine and found a bunch of websites, including this one.  I called back (954-342-5707) and a Kurt Wagner answered.  I told him to that I knew they were running a scam and that I would be reporting them.  He started yelling back at me “I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU DO!”  They each had Indian accents.

Same circumstance as everyone else; the original number was an international call with a 103 code.  He left a message and I returned his call (this is where 954-342-5707 comes into play).  A man with a very thick indian accent named "Charles Green" called and accused me with a few different charges.  He asked me to verify a social security number.  After I hung up with him, another guy called from 646-351-1165, and his name was "Chris Williams" (another thick, indian accent).  This time I "played dumb" and acted surprised as he read the same charges against me.  I asked him for his number and address, and he transferred me to a "Scott Miller" (yet another thick indian accent) told me he was with the Financial Crime Divison, and he gave me an address:
45th Roger Street
New York, NY 11021

Thick accent.  Caller immediately asked for my social security number and said criminal charges had been filed.  I asked for the caller's idenfication, and he said his name was:

Kirk Wadner
AMG, LLC
34-444 Hollywood Way
Suite 410
Hollywood, FL  33021

He pronounced Suite as "suit".  Then he hung up.  I called back and did not receive an answer.  Two minutes later I received an International Call from a 103 number.  The caller said he was calling from FL.  When I read back his international number, he hung up.

i have receive several calls on amg llc law office the lady that call several times from 954-949-0517 says she was going to have me arrest if i don't get back with them and very rude. today 10-30-09 talk to charles green and he said that i owe advance america cash advance $500.00 and don't remember getting that money. then he said i could pay 350.00 tommorrow with a prepaid walmart credit card that cost $3.00. must pay or i will be arrested. he was a fast talker i ask him questions and got their address and loud people in the background. he said they with advance amica cash advances. we need to stop this people who scares people lives.......................

i got a call from a jurt wadgner on 11/3/2009 at my job and said that i was going to be arrest on thursday morning for a payday loan.  He told me that i had three diffrent charges agasit me and that i needed an lawyer, when at first the person talking to me i could not understand when i told him that i could understand he transfered me to mr. kurt wadgner.  i called the number back 954-312-0848 they answered law firm when i asked when the loan had been taken out they could not tell me.  I feel as though wha tthey are doing is wrong i am 3 mths pregnet and almost fell to thought of being taken to jail they need to be stopped.

I received the same phone call yesterday, 11/3/09 from a 954-949-0517 phone number.  I was left two messages, which i could barely understand, about a legal matter.  They even called my sister, whom I had used as a reference to apply for a payday loan before.  I do owe on a couple of payday loans so when I called and was told that I would be arrested for like 3 charges, along with my employer and references, I was freaking out.  I contacted my local police dept and they said this is a scam.  No one can arrest you for owing money and he told me there is nothing in their system about me or any charges against me.  I also called the fbi and reported this .  They told me the same thing. Then I called these people back and told them I had reported them to my local police dept and the fbi.  The guy didn't say one word.  He freaked out!  So I hanged up.  Needless to say, he hasn't called back.  Goodness, who knows where these people are calling from.  My guess it's somewhere in India...they all have Indian accents!  Don't give them any personal information.  They already have names, phone #s, and social security #s.  This is so scary.  I could barely sleep last night and I almost didn't come into work.  Could you believe people would do this type of stuff???

Reported these shysters to the FTC and the local BBB.

Michael Clark called today with the same tactics as previously described. Told me I owed $1295 and if I didn't pay at least $750 today (on a pre-paid Visa from Walmart), I would be sued for ~$6000. This was supposedly a payday debt from 2007. I told him that I couldn't pay today but I could pay Friday. He asked me to fax a promissory note with my credit card information. After I wrote this down on paper, he told me to give him my credit card information. This made me very suspicious and I did not send it. Good thing. I will be calling the police tomorrow! Noisy background, no company info, heavy Indian accent. When I asked what was the name of the company I owed, he wouldn't tell me. Do not fall for this scam! I am worried about how they got my personal information....

This Kurt Wagner threatens with putting you in jail I do not know how he got my personal information its one big scam!  They can not put you in jail!

This number is a total scam.... Had a cop friend call and try and get information and even though they maintained they were a law office and that he was an attorney they kept hanging up..... looks like the felony impersonating an attorney charge will shut them up....

Received a call from Charles Green this morning at 6:00 am.  Thought it was a family emergency so I answered.  He said this was my last chance and that I would be arrested tomorrow morning at 11:00am at my place of business.  He was extremely rude and very hard to understand.  He said they had sent me 42 e-mails regarding a $300.00 loan from Advance America Cash Advance.  When I told him I had never received a email or a prior phone call saying that anything was owed, he got mad and started yelling at me.  He said I now owed $1,823.00 if I didn't want to be arrested.  I told him he was crazy and there was no way I was paying back $1,823.00 for a $300.00 loan that I don't remember even taking out.  He said when they arrested me, the charge would go to $5,434.00.  After exchanging some heated words with him, he ended by saying he was going to call my employer.  He did call but was so unproffesional that my Personal Director googled the phone number and found out that this is a total scam.  He talked to my superiosr and got mad at her because she was not going to do anything about it.  She thought he was crazy too.  What a shame that these people can harass people and get away with it.  I just wonder how many people really "pay" them so they won't get arrested!  How sad!

So I got a call from 320051786 number(yeah I know, its only 9 digits)...anyway, the guy with a thick accent immediately asked me for my info for my lawyer. I told him I didn't have one and he seemed surprised that I didn't know about this "court date" that I had tomorrow. He said I was charged with 3 things, 2 of which were Check fraud and theft by check deception from a payday loan that I defaulted on. Now, I've been under a lot of stress lately and I immediately got pissed off and asking how in the hell was I unaware of something like this. He said that they had been sending email notifications to my email address, one that I haven't used since 2007. That just didn't sound right to me! I had never heard of such! I told him how ridiculous it was and he told me how ridiculous it was that I didn't use that email anymore. Yeah. Anyway, so I guess he got tired of me yelling so he transferred me to a Peter Scott who yelled at me saying he didn't "give a damn" about my situation! So he got cussed out! He told me I had 1 of 2 options, I could pay $700 now or be arrested tomorrow. Now mind you, I knew this was fishy, but I kept asking questions to get as much info as I could. So he gave me a 3155326038 number to call him back within an hour to make a payment. I told him I didn't have $700 so he said he'd take 400 and make a payment arrangement for the "remaining $200." Sooo he obviously couldn't count cuz they're would actually be an extra 300. Anyway, I said I didn't have it. So he said "then there's nothing I can do for you and you'll be arrested tomorrow." And he hung up. So I called back and said "well if I have this so called court date, where do I need to go?" He said the office will come and arrest me and take me to court. Sadly he didn't know that my best friend is a prosecutor and my other friend is a cop. So I know this wasn't anywhere near legitimate procedure. So I called back again and told him I had the money, so now what? He said I had to write a letter and fax it to him in 30 mins authorizing them and Advance Americas (or whatever its called) to deduct the money. He told me that I had to put my ssn on the letter (which he already knew) and ALL of my credit card info on there. I mean the number, exp date, cvc code, and my name as it appears on the car. I told him I wasn't doing that and he got mad! So I said fine I'd do it. We hung, without the fool giving me a fax number! Smh. By this time I was done playing with them, so I called again to get the name of their company. Once I did that, I googled em and came across all of this info. I knew it was a scam. But these people have my SSN, address, DOB, everything but my credit card info...and I didn't give it to them! So Peter Scott said he'd call me in the morning to verify my payment (cuz I told him I couldn't send it today cuz the banks were closed) and when he does, boy do I have something for him! I later spoke to a friend and he said this company has gotten him out of $600 before! Smh I filed a police report against them and tomorrow, I'm calling the attorney general's office!

Has anyone actually ever been arrested steming from one of these phone calls????

Mel - No one gets arrested. These tactics are illegal in every sense of the word.  Scare tactics and apparently they work otherwise it would stop.  I have a jerk calling one of my employees making threats and now he has threatened me for not allowing him to harass said employee.  I'm a law student and when I challenge him for specifics, he can't answer my questions.  When I ask him for his number/county and state that the "lawsuit" has been filed in/etc.  He can't answer them and hangs up, only to try again another day.

I've experience the same thing as every one else has written about. This was my seconf go round w/ these b***hes so I was ready. When I heard that he couldn't speak English correctly I told him to get off my phone, don't call me anymore, learn to speak correctly and hung up. He attempted to call back 2 more times and I told him the same thing. I called the number back to get company name and the nmae of somebody--->Mark Red was the person that answered the phone..the phn number this time was 213-234-7509. I'm gonna call them back everyday and f*** with them, just like they f*** with people.

I received the same message today in records to the same thing today twice on my job, but they are calling from a different number of 810-678-616 but the call back number is 315-294-9471 and her name is Carol Smith.  She told me that I would be arrested if I did not send them my credit or debit number along with my drivers license.  The number listed to a New York landline but came through the called ID as 337-606-4023.  Had me really shuck up.  This is not right.

I got a call from the llcc and spoke to a david brown he also had a heavy accent and told me i had to pay back a pay day loan. when i told him not to call me at work he got very upset and said i had to pay right away or else legal action would be against me.then he said to call be in half hour wish i did and another person named steven harrass me that i better tell my boss that i will be fire because i was going to jail.

The same nutcakes called me. I am laughing at all of your responses because it is the same scenario when they called me. They ask me to have me or my "retained attorney" to call them because the matter is extremely time sensitive. Anyway, they claim that my case would be filed in the courthouse and that I can stop that if I send a debit card payment of $359, but they never mention a fax number. So, as I ask them where I should send the information, they get irrate and accuse me of not wanting to cooperate. It is such a scam. And, yes, they always use "Americanized" names, and there is always a lot of noise in the background and they have very heavy "thick" Indian or Pakistani accents. LOL

Thick accent male, asking me if I had an attorny, that I owe 5494 and some change in a cash advance from 2007, I called the local authorities and filed a report, these people have to be stopped. They told me if I did not pay on a prepaid visa card I would be arrested at my place of employment the next day.
