Good grief!...don't these people ever get tired or hungry?

Anyway, here we go again:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-714-333-2981

This is just another one of hundreds (and perhaps even thousands) of numbers these overseas payday loan debt collection scammers are calling from:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-904-425-9141:

It's a scam, and all their threats are false and illegal.  The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal consumers' money.

Here are a few news reports and government advisories warning consumers about this scam:

ABC News:  http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5621205&page=1
West Virginia Attorney General:  http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
WTAE TV4, Pittsburgh:  http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/call4action/17285785/detail.html
Florida Commissioner of Consumer Services:  http://www.800helpfla.com/newsletter/2008/092008.html

This is a very active group of scammers, many of whom are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American pay day loan scammers. They attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. Their trademark is to use meaningless legalese gobbylgook phrases like "We are downloading warrants against you" or "We are filing an affidavit against you." Another trademark phrase is to threaten the consumer with something like this ridiculous phrase: "If you don't pay then only God can help you."

Typical of many financial scams of this variety, they usually demand payment via Western Union or MoneyGram or credit card. They use any number of phony names such as US National Bank, Federal Investigation Bureau, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Christian Nicholas & Associates, US Federal Bank, Sonic Bank, Hopkins Law Office, CashNet, United Legal Processing, Morgan Associates, United Pay Services, National Processing, White Collar Crime Unit and many more.  These criminals also use many phone numbers from many area codes; they're probably using caller-id spoofing software and/or VoIP to disguise their real location.

The main thing to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, or demanding your lawyer's name so they can sue you, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal to them to threaten such a thing.) And since these foreign dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection.  (Debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.)

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 (
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:

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:

(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. And if the crooks claim to be law enforcement or lawyers, officers of the court or bankers, be sure to include that information in your report.

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://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

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:

...and, many, MANY more.

This guy called my work saying it was a family emergency. My work called me and gave me the number. I called him 'shaun' and he gave me the same jive about a payday loan that I have never heard of. I hung up on him. The next day he called me and my employer a total of 36 times in a 4 hour period threatening to sue all of us. Shaun sure was arabic, so shaun if u read this you can p****off. I'm gonna call you everyday just to harass you for a while. You lazy piece of crap!

No one is making excuses. It is simply that there are a few of us out here in the real world that know when something is real and when sorry excuses for people such as yourself come along trying to make a quick buck off of honest REAL JOB having individuals such as those who have posted comments on this website..
Quit calling already, because from me all you will hear on the other end of the line a dial tone.

Have a blessed day...

it is interesting to me that they leave the same messages with the names changed on any numbers that have been linked to their little scam. everyone who gets calls from them should definately report it!! they have called me over 20 times today alone. i have reported them to the ftc, the states atty general, and everyone else i could think of.

What a DOPE "jack".  nobody legit calls "plenty of times in couple of minutes" much less would admit it.  The sooner you're in prison picking up the soap for Bubba the better off we'll all be whether we owe money or not.

Warm Regards assshole.

This is Jack,We understand your concern where you are coming from.give us your number and your mailing address with your file number so that we can send you each & every documentation which you are looking for.

 Getting call plenty of times in couple of minutes,Yes why? Because its very panicky if a person is taking a loan & not paying back moreover blaming the loan company cant even resist, if you guys are so sure that you haven't taken any loan,why you all are afraid to deal this in Legal way.

With Regards,


Jack

He is so full of it, this guy leaves threaghtening messages telling me that if I do not contact him he can not be responsible for what happens to me, and that only GOD will be able to help me!  He is nuts, and might I add pretty stupid.  Why would anyone leave a recording of an obvious threat like that?  I actually called him back one time and laughed histerically in his ear when I heard what he had to say and he got soooo angry after that I hung up in his ear.  Yesterday he contacted my job and I am no longer at the same location and went on to drill my previous colleauges/Supervisor as to my current whereabouts.  He even went as far as to implement my employers as being a part of his ridiculous claims stating that "this is a legal matter regarding (my companies name)"  I immediatley contacted the attorney that I hired to care for this matter and he advised me to refer the Jerk to his firm "If your reading this idiot, the firm is S.Foreman and Associates, INC and the attorney representing me in this lawsuit AGAINST YOU! is Carrol "CJ" Jackson his direct telephone number is (202)631-2390 "AND HE IS DARING YOU TO CALL HIM" I want to inform anyone who is reading this that some pay day loans were charging outrageous interest rates which were deemed illegal.  This man is calling because the actual company cannot demand fees that they were not allowed to charge in the first place.  He has purchased files from this company who can not pursue these illegal cases, in hopes that someone will give into his humerous tactics.  DO NOT FALL FOR IT!  IF HE HAS LEFT THREATENING MESSAGES SAVE THEM AND RETAIN A LAWYER. AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FILE A SUIT OR HARRASSMENT CHARGES, because he is breaking all kinds of consumer laws.

I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission which is what the FBI website told me to do.  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/consumer.shtm

Peter Johnson.  HA!

Mine is Peter Johsnon.  Can't speak a lick of English yet he is Peter Johnson.  Well if Peter or anyone else is listening, I got money for you, just come to my house or work and get it.  You better bring something a little bigger than a box cutter though.

Received call from 'Dennis'. State it invovled a legal matter for another person and to have the other person call 321-221-0026. Yea, right ! The Caller ID had a bogus number

Jack,
Try to use some names that actually fit to the accent.  Peter Brown, Jeff, Dexter, Henry, Thomas and Martin are not really good cover up names.  Why don't you get a life.  I know I have already turned you in to the States attorney office and believe me they also catch the criminals so we will see who will be getting the last laugh. :-)

Jack Smith?  What an American name yet you have such a heavy arabian accent?  hummmmm.  You can continue to call and harass because I am doing the same thing to your "scam".  Peter is really not liking me calling him every 20 minutes and I will continue to call all through the night because as far as I can remember the time in India is several hours behind our time.

Well, Jack Smith...if that's even you're real name.  I have been contacted by your firm.  I asked that documentation be sent to me before acknowledgment of said debt.  The jerk I talked to refused.  So if you're gonna lie, at least make it one that is believable.  

I would however like to know you're physical mailing address.  When I asked for it, your so called representative did not even know where he was at, much less give an address.  

Let's face it, you know and I know you're a fraud.  But keep the harrassment going.  Eventually the authorities will catch up with you and we'll see who has the last laugh.  By the way, I'm not running.  Bring it on.

Hello Everyone,

     This is Jack Smith,As per your concern just wanted to make you aware if you needed any documentation we are glad to provide you.

     If possible give us a call or talk to concern representative & grab some information as its a legal concern.

     Don't try to run or make excuses.

An Alex Williams keeps calling me and my family stating he has a legal concern regarding money. He actually called from an 800 number, but listed 321-221-0026 as a callback.   He calls every couple of months or so.

I keep getting calls from this individual Jeff Morgan Law Offices claiming I owe a pay day loan.  They keep calling harassing me telling me that they will send the sheriff officers to my house and job.  They claim they deposited monies to my account saying that i stole money from them.  I would appreciate if someone could please stop them
