Received message saying there was a pending lawsuit against me.

This caller by the name of Tarrol or Carol Woods claimed there was a pending warrant. This person also had a very heavy foreign acsent (India). I have had this type of call in the past and its a scam to get personal and banking information. This company is out of Fort Lauderdale, FL.

PLEASE PASS THIS around to anyone who gets a call from this number or any number in reference to this payday loan stuff. Its a scam they can call from many numbers all over the USA. So be careful ... these people are in India sitting in a call center... scamming millions people a day. If you feel you owe money to a payday loan contact that payday loan company directly! Do not give your info to anyone over the phone. To avoid this all together just don't get a payday loan ....its a mess all around.

I personally received many calls from different numbers referencing some pay day i owe money too. i never got a payday loan but i did fill out info online to apply for one. I declined the money once i realized how the process works. Now my info must be in some database. In which these people are stealing the info. I am puzzled by the many complaints on this number alone. Nothing serious has been done to end this. So i just want people to be aware of the crooks out in the world and never give your info to someone you don't know over the phone. REMEMBER THE SAYING DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS! DO NOT BE THE NEXT VICTIM OF THESE SICK AND CRUEL PEOPLE THAT CAN'T GET A REAL JOB.... SO THEY STEAL THERE WAY THROUGH LIFE. I guess they are making millions from doing this so if we work together to not give up the money then soon they will have no options but to find a new way of life.

Fake Debt Collectors and Collection Tactics

If consumers did not have enough to worry about having to deal with rising credit card interest rates, late fees and over-limit fees, zombie debt, and fervent bill collectors, now we have to worry about collectors calling about fake debt.

While many legitimate collection agencies follow the FDCPA, there are some collectors out there that are only running a scam operation and will be quick to use threats and scare tactics to get you to pay up quick. Their scams turn up in mailboxes, on the internet and through the telephone every day. Some collectors pose as national banks, government agencies (FBI, CIA), or even popular celebrity stars to gain personal information. These phony collectors may threaten to repossess your house, issue a warrant for your arrest, or even garnish your pay check, all of which are against the FDCPA rules. Some of which are even laughable (for example, there is no debtor?s prison in the United States).

Fake debt scammers rely on the fear and lack of knowledge about debt collection laws within the population. They also figure that a certain percentage of their calls will be received by individuals who may be carrying debt on credit cards anyway and may be susceptible to intimidation. When collectors use misleading statements and fail to provide identification, they are breaking the law. Never pay money to a possible thief. Keep cool when you hear from collectors to avoid this collection abuse.

Many times, people who took out payday loans online in the past are most susceptible. If you took a payday loan, be aware scammers may have access to your Social Security number and other personal information, and keep your guard up against such tactics.

Ironically, real "deadbeats" probably wouldn't fall for these scammers, since they have no intention of repaying their creditors anyway. But upright citizens may doubt themselves, thinking they've forgotten to pay a bill. Many times, the sums involved tend to be fairly small, so some people may be tempted to just pay the "bill" and "get it over with."

Ways to Protect Yourself Against Debt Collection Scams

Review your credit report frequently to find inaccuracies.
Be aware of your current creditors and how much you owe.
Ask creditors for identification before you provide any information over the telephone.
Reporting Fake Debt Collectors

If you ever receive a call from anyone identifying himself as a debt collector, the law requires that the debt collector provide you with identification, and that the debt collector refrain from making misleading and threatening statements.

You can report any problems you have to your state Attorney General?s office www.naag.org and the Federal Trade Commission www.ftc.gov. Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM STEVEN KNOT WHO SAID HIS LAW OFF OF AMCLLC  AND SAID IF I DONT PAY THE 1O95 TO DAY I WILL BE GOING TO JAIL AND WILL BE PICK UP AT MY JOB

WALLINGFORD, CT, August 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about would-be debt collectors who call "payday" loan holders, threatening arrest if they don't pay immediately.

A payday loan, also known as a paycheck advance, is a short-term cash advance intended to cover expenses until the holder's next payday.

The callers claim they are lawyers with the "Financial Accountability Association" or the "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans," and they are armed with stolen personal information from their victims, indicating a major security breach of unknown origin. The names used by the scammers may change with time.

According to Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, payday loan holders appear to be particularly at risk.

"Because the scammers have so much information about potential victims, BBB is concerned that this may be the result of a data breach. Thousands of people may have had their personal information compromised."

Reports received by Better Business Bureau and posted online explain the con artists threaten the loan holders of defaulting and claim they are being sued. The imposters threaten the loan holders with imminent arrest and extradition to California to stand trial, unless they immediately wire $1000 or provide bank account or credit card information.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau has advice for consumers who receive suspicious telephone calls about an outstanding debt:

-Don't be bullied into immediate action. Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation that substantiates the debt.
-Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the telephone until you confirm the legitimacy of the call.
-If you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you, file an abuse complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) online at www. ftc.gov, or by telephone at (202) 326-2222. Also file a complaint with your Better Business Bureau at http://www.bbb.org or by telephone at 203-269-2700, ext. 2.

My mother found a message on her machine saying that the caller was Jason Conners of AMG Legal Services (but had a very strong accent; most likely from India.) He was unable to locate me, but that I was involved in a law suit. My mother needed to get a message to me to call Jason back or I would be arrested by 5:pm today. He also mentions one of my close friends by name. I was home all day yesterday. I have not received a call at my home or on my cell from this company. Based on the above posts, I will contact my local police and the FBI.

on friday the 29th of november i was called, by 19544147002, when he called he called my brother in laws number and left me a a message there telling me that i had to contact them back by saturday the 21st of november other wise there was going to be a bench warrent out for my arrest. when i called them to figure out what was going on he started to tell me that i was going to go to jail for 3 counts of fraud and that i was the main suspect in the case, i was trying to get details and all i got was it was a past cash advance from cash advance and that i owed 1095.00 and that i had to pay 700.00 by monday the 23rd 2009 other wise the warrent would be put out for me, i got scared thinking about it and dont want to go to jail, so he told me to write a promisary letter with all my info and fax it to him after i get it notarized and so i got the notary on the paper and before i sent it i tried to call him back to see what the courts name was and get the info for the case faxed to me and now im getting this ext 414106 is not available at this time, so weird, and he had my old employeer and old address from 2 yrs ago. its weird and confusing. but i did turn in some thing in 2007 when this did happen with a loan going to my bank and it wasnt me and i did a fraud case and closed my account and the guy on the phone told me and told me that one of the charges was due to my closing the account. so it was check fraud as well, and told me that it was in virginia and then when i tracked the number he called from its from florida and the fax number given to me is from new york. and also was weirder is that he told me if i was not going to give him this info by 5pm that day that they would pick me up at the old address and inform my job of my arrest, and the charges against me. i was thinking that its real, but i am not so sure now.

This is a group in India. They have a database of people who have had payday loans. They try to claim you never paid off the loan and threaten law suits. It's obviously a scam. Give them NOTHING!

caller keeps calling me telling me to not ignore call and to call him back immediately think its fraud!

Mike called me at work and leaves message to not ignore this call. I have been implicated as a suspect in fraud case. Called the number, and he wanted my lawyer's information. Very strange.

SCAMMER QUIT CALLING ME AT WORK I DONT OWE YOU NOTHING I WILL PUT A TRACE ON YOUR PHONE NUMBER I WILL IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL LOOK INTO INVESTIGATING YOU AND YOUR PHONE NUMBER

Received message saying there was a pending lawsuit against me and needed my lawyers information....sounds like a creditor scam....
