the called me at my work place and left a nasty message, the individual said she was officer stacy brooks of the USB or UFB, Im not sure which and that she is gettin a warrant to have me arrested at my home, and at than she said I took out a loan in 2007, and the amount is 300 dollars but with interest for the last two years now I owe 1,000 dollars. and I needed to find a way to pay. she never said who, but she gave me all my information about myself and my family. i still was never told who this company was. i was to call her back, but instead I seek help with an debt collection lawyer for help.

Call them back and give them any attorneys name. find one in the phone book. Also, please report them to the FTC. They are huge scammeres. Also, ask them to provide proof of debt. that will get them off the phone quick

I have reported these people to FTC, and I notified an attorney, I haven't heard from them since 2/12/09.  Hope this works.

I have rec'd 2 calls from this number-one late yesterday afternoon and just 10 minutes ago.  I had our receptionist put him into my voicemail.  The message is very broken up-he does not speak clear English so very difficult to understand-gave name as Frank Harris.  Basically threatened to have me arrested.  I have had numerous calls such as this, not necessarily this phone number- claiming I took out a payday loan and did not pay it back-the bank information is always for a bank account I closed several years ago.  And the loan is always at least 2 years old.

Here's a little more information-they say they are calling from the Crime Division of the FBI...accuse you of internet bank fraud-taking a payday loan and not paying it back...they usually have all of the correct information-SS, DOB, bank account number, however, can never tell you the name of the payday lender-will rattle off about 5-10 different companies...when you press for the actual payday lender's name they tell you they cannot release that information to you as this is a legal matter!  theya re very rude-do not speak English-sorry this may sound like I am discriminating-I'm not its just the way it is- and the phone connection is never clear and they speak very low.

Put a fraud alert on your ssn#, call Experian and they will forward it to the other 2 companies! It's all automated. I've filed a complaint with the FTC, FBI, BBB, Houston's Attorney General, my home state Attorney General, my local FBI, my local secret service and am currently consulting with my lawyer!

"Anne Williams" left a message which said "Please call us before something goes wrong with you" which is clearly a threat. They call themselves Federal Investigations Agency, which is not only misleading, but misrepresenting oneself as State or Federal is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collections Act. They refuse to give out their mailing address, which is necessary so an alleged debtor can exercise their right to a Debt Validation document.

They called my mom's number, and she felt threatened by them. We ALL have to put the heat on these people. They've disrupted my life and hurt my productivity at work. I have an idle daydream where I'd pay money for a plane ticket to stand outside their office as they're hauled off in handcuffs. I'd be sure to introduce myself and announce my pleasure at making their acquaintance.

I got a message from my boss that said call officer peter Bell @201-984-1937 it is a legal matter and they keep calling my work all the time what can I do I need them to stop calling my work all the time

They keep calling me at work HELP !!!

Michelle-good for you on writing complaints.  As long as you keep getting bothered by these scammers file as many as you need to.  I agree with KC.  Stacy (what do you wanna it's a fake name?) I have submitted several complaints and plan on to as long as you and your other snakes keep calling me.  Gee, let's see are you part of the scammers?  You are pathetic!  Wonder why "stacy" comes on here?  Because he/she knows they are operating illegally?  HMMMMMM- makes you wonder huh?  Also,  "stacy" made a post about Robbie- Noticed it disappeared?

Fake Debt Collectors Terrify Consumers
Alleged Debt Scam Calls Threaten Consumers: 'Only God Can Help You Now'

Scammers masquerading as debt collectors and law enforcement officials have terrified consumers with threatening phone calls and bilked them out of thousands of dollars, officials with the West Virginia Attorney General's Office say.

Law enforcement officials in West Virginia say they're struggling to track down alleged scammers who use repeated phone calls, threats and fake names to try to swindle consumers out of thousands in supposed debt repayments.
(ABC News Photo Illustration)Prosecutors said that the scammers, who speak with heavy foreign accents, are known for repeatedly calling people at home and at work and threatening them with arrest if they don't repay supposed debts -- debts that, according to West Virginia officials, don't actually exist.

The scammers operate under names such as U.S. National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau and United Legal Processing, said West Virginia Assistant Attorney General Norman Googel.

The callers also have invoked the names of actors Denzel Washington and Steve Martin, people who've received calls tell ABCNews.com.

Googel said that the scammers have been impossible to track down, but ABCNews.com spoke to one man who claimed to be associated with U.S. National Bank. The man said he works for Financial Crime Division, a company he said provides services for USNB.

The man refused to give his name and gave little information about his company.

"It's not necessary that each and everyone knows about Financial Crime Division, and probably one of them is you," he said.

US National Bank Scammers Still Extorting Hapless Consumers

"US National Bank" is still at it, calling up people and threatening them with jail time unless they pay up for debts they never took out and USNB doesn't own. Here's K's story of how "Harry Wilson" called him up screaming and yelling. But after speaking to a consumer lawyer, K learned what he needed to say to get the extortionist to stop phone-harassing him. You'll learn too after you read the story inside...

http://consumerist.com/5086468/us-national-ba ... pless-consumers

From ec's post: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-917-464-2534

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.

Here's the contact information for the phone bank in India:

IntellisOurzE BPO

C.G. Road Navrangpura,
Ahmedabad - 9. (Guj.) INDIA.
E-Mail: info@intellisourze.com

A check on the domain name "intellisourze.com" shows that the website and name registration was created on May 8, just one month *after* the Crosby scams were shut down in Florida:

Registrant:  Pragra Infratech Pvt. Limited.

Expiration Date: 08-May-2009
Domain servers in listed order: ns5.znetindia.com ns4.znetindia.com
(Source: http://whois.domaintools.com/intellisourze.com )

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 who are posing as federal law enforcement. Be sure to give as many details as you can.

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://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

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:

Your a sick minded person Stacy. How about you go to hell and take the rest of your scamming friends with you! Take your threats and shove them up your a**.


Maybe GOD will show mercy on your worthless life. LOL that you stupid bi***.

I've received harassing calls from these people, and one of them said they were a outlet of "SJM Marketing." But when I called that company, the rep told me this: these people are an outfit that preys on those who've applied for but been declined a loan with SJM. They therefore have your contact information and other stuff. It also means you may not owe a cent.

I have received several calls from this number and he is officer Roy Martin. Talking about putting block on my ssn.  I am reporting them to the police, attorney general since I work for a state office. I have told them to stop calling and that I am recording their conversation so he changed the number but believe me I know that voice.

I have called attorney general's office.  I have also filed a police report AGAIN.  I have put fraud alerts on my SS# and credit reports.  I will file complaints as needed.

I just filed a complaint with the FTC, called my local FBI agency, filed a complaint with BBB and put a fraud alert on my ssn to where the companies have to call me first!

On BBB this is what I found
Business Name / Address  Type of Business  BBB Accreditation  
Financial Crime Prevention
(201) 984-1937
1911 Smith St., Ste 1155
Houston, TX 77002
View Report |   File Complaint Loans  No  

But the area code is a New Jesey area code but a with a Houston, TX address.

Yesterday I received a call from this number and Office Angela Smith calling from the Legal Department of F.I.A and she's calling about a legal matter against my name & ssn left a message. She also said to call her back @ 201-984-1937 don't try to disreguard the message or else I will be facing some legal consequences and something will happen with with my job, child and home

I received a call from these people as I previously mentioned on 2/12/09, I have reported them to the FTC, and other federal organizations, I don't know what will happen at this point, but as someone else mentioned continute to report them. They haven't called me sine than, but I'm assuming the eventually they will and I will report them again.  These are harrassing calls.
