Hey all,

Just go the same email stating I owe $854.00 and if I did not contact him Mark Anderson he will take me to court and send papers to my job.  Thanks everyone for entering your comments. I know for sure that I do not have and Pay Day loans.  I tried to reply to his email and of course was not able to send it.  Thanks to everyone who entered their comments.  I feel sop much better now.

Your gut reaction is probably right about this being a scam.  However, the fact that his telephone number and fax number have different area codes in different parts of the country is not, by itself, necessarily indicative of a scam.  

There are faxing services that use their own numbers and assign them to customers.  The fax "machine" that they use is actually just a computer programmed to receive fax calls, convert them to a file -- often a PDF file -- and transmit the fax to the customer via email.  There are indeed separate services that will transmit PDF files as faxes, and other services that will receive faxes for you and send them to you via email or some other computer interface.  In the long run, these services may save you money, because you don't need to make the upfront investment in a fax machine that might only be rarely used these days, or buy paper and ink for them to print out every fax that you receive.  You can also send and receive faxes directly from your computer without using a fax machine at all.  

Personally, to maintain compatibility with those people who still need to use faxes, I subscribe to both types of separate services, even though the two numbers appear from the area codes to be separated by almost 2,000 miles.  I just make sure to tell people that and to properly mark the distinction on the cover page of the fax so that people understand the use of the crazy phone numbers.  Then I suggest getting a scanner so they can use email, instead.

Note that some locations have so many devices with phone numbers that there could routinely be two or more different area codes assigned, even for the *same address,* even from the incumbent local exchange carrier.  Some office locations are very near or even span an area code boundary, and thus could very well have two different area codes for their office.  And some people take their cell phone along with them when they move and never change their cell phone number.

So there are lots of legitimate reasons why a business might have a telephone number in one area code and a fax line in another.  The fact that they do is only an indication that they *might* be a scammer, but is far from a conclusive indication.

I received a threatening e mail from Mark Anderson, claiming to be from the Dept of Criminal Justice Services Financial Fraud Division. He stated in the email that I owe $860.00 on a payday loan and this was the last notice that I would be receiving. The e mail alsdo stated that I would be receiving notice at my place of work and would be summoned to appear at the courthouse.  The mispelled words and poor grammer was insulting as well, could not possibly be an official govt employee.

Got the same email last night it sounded like a scam right away he wants us to contact him at a 310 area code but his fax machine # is a 206 area code..  LOL .. i also googled department of criminal justice no such agency exist this sounds like those Indian accent fake debt collectors with the same kind of bs line they feed us on the phone trying to scare into giving money

ok this guy Mark anderson sends me an email saying that he is for the dept. of criminal justice investigating fraud with my name from a payday loan and has all my info.about me including my social security number. WTHeckkkkk. He's threating me to take me court if I don't call him and try to make arrangements to settle this. That I have a pending $800 dollars with the payday loan which i don't have any clue what on the heck he's talking about. I did a search on the number and pulled up some reviews on this same guy but different phone numbers saying that is a scam! Thanks Dar

I got the same thing from the same guy saying the same thing that I owe $800 the number at 310-747-4620. Dang I had a feeling this is a scam email.....Its a good thing I decided to check the URL address on that and pulled up this. Whewww it got me going for a second there...how do we report this? Thanks Dardar808

This person name is Mark Anderson, tel. 310-747-4620. He said I am guilty of criminal fraud. I have no  idea what he is talking about. He wanted me to oay $854.00 by Western Union. I Googled the number while I was on the phone with him, and saw that someone commented and said this is a fraud. He said he wasn't a debt collector! Thank you!!

Their e-mail reads Criminal Justice and threatens me to call them today or they will proceed with legal procedures.  Call them within 24 hours at this number.  This is a scam.
