This number has called me twice in one minute on my work phone and once again in the same two minutes on my cell phone.  I do not know these people, nor do i owe anyone or them any money. So they can just stop calling which i know they wont.  But people like this i answer and tell them they have the wrong number.  And they eventually stop calling.

I keep getting calls from this number and other number I feel is the same people but using cell phones. Keep saying I got a loan and need to pay back or go to jail. I asked for address to send money, just to try and find out his location but they never give an address. They keep trying to get a credit or debt card. I know the calls are fraud but its so getting on my nerves. This person sounds like Indian as well. He also has the last 4 of my ss# which is really scary. but I think he only has the last 4. I just wish the local police or whom ever would catch him soon. I did report to my local police dept.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller?s instructions. Rather, you should:

Notify your banking institutions.
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

Never give your Social Security number?or personal information of any kind?over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

i HAVE TOLD THIS PERSON TO STOP CALLING ME SO NOW HE HAS MY WORK NUMBER. i TOLD THEM TO STOP CALLING ME AND FILE THE PAPERWORK HE HAS TO WITH THE HR DEPT BUT DONOT CALL MY WORK AREA AND THEY KEEP CALLING ANYWAY.

Good Luck to all this guy has called me 17 times in the last 10 minutes and won't leave me alone and is calling me at work and I can't get them to stop.  I hope I don't lose my job in the process of this.  I have no clue who they are but they are nasty on the phone and say things that a debt collector would not say.

Someone named Dan Smith with a foreign accent has called my cell phone 8 times in the last 2 hours telling me i owed $180.00 to some cash advance place I have never heard of.... Said that I was on the phone with him and an attorney named josh or justin or something but that person didnt say anything...so hmmm sounds like a scam to me and i told them so

These people have been calling my cell my house and old lady's house and others cells that i know getting very cocky loud and immature.. This is getting very annoying..

I keep getting these harrassing phone calls, they are Indian, cannot understand him, he has hung up on me, has made threats to arrest me, I asked for proof of money I owe.  He has my ss @ and address, phone numbers. All of these men are very rude, I have told them I would report them.

A man of Indian descent has left numerous messages on my work phone mail advising he is "Officer Dan Smith" with the American Law Division and I should immediately call him back "with your attornies". He does not indicate why he is calling nor pronounce my name correctly. He provided his phone number repeatedly and before ending the messages, told me to "Have a great day."  I had no idea why he called me, but I know it is illegal to misrepresent oneself as a law enforcement officer, so I called him back and asked him why he is calling me.  He NEVER told me anything more - Just kept repeating the same information in the messages (which is nothing)   I then told him I am an attorney and he needs to state his business with  me or stop calling.  Guess what?  HE HUNG UP and I have not heard from him again.    So, my friends, maybe we should all just make this guy step up and explain himself. If you ask HIM too many questions, I think he might go away.

Hello, I 'm having the same issue with these people they sould like they are from India. They keep calling me a work and saying that if I don't give them money for a a debt with a cash advance place that I will go to jail. The first call that I had receive that were saying that they are calling from Attorney General Office. Which wasn't true; if you every applied on line for a loan or anything of that nature. That is one way that can get your personal information. I am living in az and I call the attorney general and that had stated that they had receive alot of compliants like mine. And they referred me to the the federal trade commission. I gave them the person name and the 2 # he is calling me  which is located in Moumouth, NJ. I just got another call from him his last name is Anderson and is it from the 347 area code. You should report them, it hard but it! I told this person I know this is a scam and I have reported you , so stop calling me. I hope this help

Unidenitified person continues to call my work and cell number numerous times.

This guy called me at work several times I continually asked him to stop calling the guy I spoke to said his name was Dan Smith and he was calling to collect a debt. I told him to stop calling at my job. He ignored the request; also he would not give me any info on this debt. According to him he has my SSI number and then told me the last four numbers.

It's amazing how all of us are getting pretty much the same situation with this caller. Keeps telling me I owe money, etc.I told him to quit calling me or I will hire an attorney and report him. He thinks it's a joke. He jeeps calling me. I've been getting same guy with same number and a few other numbers with him call me every day. Sometimes more than once. Absolutely ridiculous! We need to find a way to do away with this jerk!!!

i've gotten 3 calls in ten minutes from this number today not to mention multiple calls at work. at work he is bryan palmer and at home same voice name is justin johnson but he sounds foreign this is the second time i've received dealt with these people and last time i just reported to the better business bureau

This number called me 3 times today at my work saying I owed some money and was being taken to court and would come an arrest me at my job if I didnt comply,he sounds Indian and his name is Mike Anderson
