This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/phantom-debt-co ... ory?id=16512428

I got this as well!! He said I owed 493.00 in a loan that I never have applied for!! He said I would be arrested and he was very very rude bc of course I didn't pay him anything!! It's sad that people do this to people that work!! Get a real job and quit bumming!! I think he said his name was Steven Foster!! He had a Indian accent!!

I received a phone call from this number with a message telling me to call ASAP or have my lawyer call.  I think this people think we are all stupid.... he had a common name with a strong middle east accent.  So I called them back to find out what was up and they put me on hold then put some guy on the phone to read me some affidavit and told me I was in trouble for fraud from speedycash.com.  I got upset then had to answer work phone and hung up on him.  Because A... I did not receive emails stating anything and B... I did not have any transactions try to post to my account.  I then got a voice mail stating that they were going to get a warrant for my arrest and show up at my work to get me.  I am smart enough to call speedycash.com myself and they said it is a scam and not the first time that this has happened to anyone.  They think we are all a bunch of idiots or something to believe that they can fool all of us.

They also called me from 425 880 3768 this morning saying that I owed 289 dollars to a company called US Cash Lending. Also that they wanted 700 dollars in late fee's. If i did not pay they where going to send me to court. First of all i never got a loan from the mentioned cash advance company second it was some guy that sounded from india and told me his name was Frank Lurnis. I looked up the company on line named Walston Weston but i have not found any information.

I am sure they must of gotten my information when i applied for a micro loan on one the websites that find you multiple lenders with offers. I am not planning on paying any money i don't owe. Also to make sure i am going to check my credit history just in case. But it sounds to me like a scam!

This is the second time this month getting a Crazy call like this....Mind you the first one scared the daylights out of me...telling me that an officer would be at my place of employment to arrest me in five minutes.....then I was offered to settle this debt out of court and go to "CVS or WALMART customer service center, put him in speaker and he would tell me where to go once inside the store to pay my "warrent debt of $963.00.I called my local police dept as well as the Attorney Generals office and was told this was A FRAUD....these ppl have even tapped into IMPD phone line and have a sherrif call from a IMPD prefix telling you to give them your location so they can come and arrest you.  Crazy Stupid

I gave them $989.23 on a pay pal card because they said if I didn't pay I would have a warrant for my arrest. I want to know how to get my money back? They also wanted me to send an additional $1300.00. After making several calls and talking with my credit union I found out this was a scam.  Needless to say, I didn't send them the $1300.00.

I received a call from this number. with a very threatening message that I saved. he even called my job and left a message. He did not leave a company name or his own name for that matter. I received calls from this number earlier this week but after I tried to settle a dispute with another company and there was a disruption in the line. I received a call from this number right after that and I thought that it could not a be a coincidence. The background noise was the very same as if they were right in the same office but representing themselves as 2 different companies. I was trying to settle a dispute with a loan company, Cash Advance America.

Same thing, just got a call on my cell and work, threatening legal action and an arrest warrent in my name.  That I would have to do 30 days in jail pending an investigation and 9000 court fines.  

So I received many calls from 425-880-3768 on my cell phone and then on my work phone.  The person left a voice mails on my cell and work phone stating his name was Jason O?Connor(a paralegal) and that I needed to call him A.S.A.P. and if I did not call him back then he felt sorry for me.  I called him back and he was very rude telling me that I had defaulted on a $500.00 Payday loan, he had the last 4 of my SSN, personal email, address, cell # and work #. I asked him who was the loan with and he stated US Cash Lending, when I asked him for the # to call them; he told me that this would be a conflict of interest and that I was a suspect. I then hung up called my bank, they put a freeze on my account and went to the local police department to file a complaint/fraud case.  The officer called the 425-880-3768 and asked to speak to Jason O?Connor after identifying his self as a Sgt with the Cedar Rapids, IA police department and they transferred him to Tom Stevens ?Jason?s partner?. The office told ?Tom? to stop calling me and that in the state of Iowa, if someone tells you to stop calling them and to send a written notice with their address and direct contact #, and they continue to call; that is considered Harassment.  I have not received another call from them. However now I have started to receive calls from 210-390-8365, Officer Jeb Dawson, with a very strong middle eastern accent left me a messaging saying he was calling from Federal Legally Defender Law Firm.  I work for a phone company, so I know that they can send whatever # they want.  I have to go back to the PD and file harassment charges.

these people need to be stopped, they called making threats and would not get off the phone at one point they had some guy that sounded like a Indian mickey mouse on helium  telling charges would be filed tommorow on me . when I said I was  going to call police he hung  up

I just recived a voice mail not understand because of different lauaguges but told me that I need to have my attorney call and told me im going to jail friday! which in words I have never taken a loan out in my life, so i contacted my attorney and she is on it and trying to figure this out.

Called threatening me with being arrested.  

Told me that a claim had been file against me from a loan company and if I cared about myself I needed to have my attorney call or I was going to be prosecuted.  When asked what company they were talking about all they would say is that the claim was turned over to them and the company did not care to talk to me.

This guy called for my bf threatening us saying he's gonna make our lives hell and that he's gonna send him to jail for a unpaid loan.

Same as below. Said I have been issued a summons which I know has to be served in person. And said that I would be spending Thanksgiving in jail for criminal activity. I laughed and hung up.
He called back and informed me that I should retain a good lawyer because I had been involved in criminal activity. I didn't pay back a loan. A loan that I never got.

Same thing with me. They called my job,my home and my cell. They tell me they need my attorney information and when I ask for what, they say oh, you don't know?  Then keep hanging up on me and won't give me any information but tell me I am going to be arrested for not paying a USA Cash loan that I never took out.  When I said they've been exposed and I know it's a scam one guy told me he wants to f*ck me and hung up.  Everyone I spoke with, including a guy named Kevin Jones (yeah right) was Arabic. They also are able to do something with their phones so you get a busy signal or it rings and changes over to a busy signal.  They even connected me with another scam victim somehow and we compared stories.  

I got a vm from a Patrick West stating he needs to speak to me or my attorney on record and its urgent or else! He had an accent too!

I received the same call from a man with an Indian accent claiming to be with a law firm - first he said Robert & Gilbert and then he said Robert & Jackson.  He started to read an affidavit that sounded very suspicious.  He said I received a payday loan from U S Cash Lending.  I have no such loan.  I told him that I was reporting him to the FTC and hung up.

I got the same call. I've actually gotten them from a couple of different numbers and people claiming the same types of names. It cracks me up how they have really strong Indian accents however their names are always American names! I've been contacted by Peter Brown, Steve Hart, mike Johnson, Mike Smith and Kevin Johnson.
First of all you can not be sent to jail for not paying a loan! That's a civil case.

I just got done talking with someone from Easy Phone Cash about a payday loan. I kept having to stop the (Indian accented) guy or slowing him down so that I could get the details. It seemed as okay as those go, but then five minutes later, this other Indian guy, claiming to be Brian Smith, called my work phone from this number, threatening me with legal garbage. It's a scam.

This same company also took 89.00 out of my account which I had to get reversed from my bank. They called threatening me with an unpaid loan amount and when I asked who their client was, they replied USA Cash Lending which was the same company that stole money from my account. When I told him that his client stole money from me - he hung up.

Received same call threatening to have me arrested would not disclose any information and I asked if anything has been sent in writing they informed me 7 emails were sent I called the number back I consistently get a busy signal and the number has 011in front of it they called multiple times from the 425-880-3768 number then I received 6 private calls back to back then a vm from an officer Roy anderson from the criminal investigation office bureau cyber division stating to call him at 818-666-7275 would not state what the issue is badge se number nothing and everyone I  spoke to all had a middle eastern accent the officer tried to disguise it but was unsuccessful

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
