I got a phone call that was exactly the same. The guy had an Indian accent and said I solicited funds and had them transferred to my account. I interrupted him and he said I was going to be arrested. I called the bank and they said it was a scam.

I started getting these calls from various numbers across the US including 619-704-8331 in the San Diego Area as well as from Iowa and Alabama a few weeks ago. Funny - sounds like the same guy everytime - just a different name. Today, the 619 number was calling my cell number as well as my office number (I did not take the call) at the same time. The guy left a voice mail on my cell number. The guy started to leave the same message - word for word that I'd heard before on other voice mails from those other numbers- but when he got to the part where he was supposed to say his "name", he couldn't think of one and hung up on the voice mail. Fom the Iowa number, I received "officers will be arriving at your workplace" threats at work, repeated calls even though I said I could not receive calls at work. I did ask the guy on the first call just what officers would be arriving - what county, what state? That really ticked him off. I then asked where this "claim against me" had been filed. He sputtered and I hung up. He called 8 more times at work and when I finally answered the last call, he said something like "best of luck to you as things unfold". These folks are scum and just plain mean.

Got the same call today.Saying I owe money to a payday max loan company. I never heard of them and didn't take out any loans. I asked when did I take this loan out (date) they couldn't give me an answer. Yes, they were Indian a Jennifer Monroe and Keith. Saying if I don't pay that the police will be coming to get me and put me in jail. They even called me at work yesterday. They know where I work that's scary. I said if this is real I would of received a notice in the mail and I never got anything. He said they only send it by email. I told him never heard of such a thing.They get peoples info and fly with it. They need to be stopped and they need to be in jail.

Just got a call.  She called three times in a row on my cell, then once on my work phone.  I called back, told her that I knew it was a load of sh*t & hung up on her.  Name was Jennifer Morgan, thick Indian accent.  Couldn't pronounce my last name correctly & it isn't difficult.  She wished me luck as well in the message she left me.  

i received a call from the same number saying his name was officer kevin smith last month and said I owed a loan company 501.98 and said that if I didn't pay I would be arrested the next day because apparently there was a warrant for my arrest and that if I wanted to he can be my lawyer and settle this me not knowing what was going on I believed it was a scam at the beginning and told him that and that if it was that was really wrong of them because i just had my little cousin pass away and then my husband deploys a month after and I'm on depression meds and he said calm down ma'am everything will be OK and taht i would have to do just as he said and that if the call is dropped then he cant help me and told me to buy a green dot money pak first off I've never heard of such thing until i finally saw it and i put only what i only had which was $95 and then with the card spent $100 when that could've gone to something else that could've been useful and then i called my loan company and told them what happened because they take it out automatically and they said to contact the police and i did just that and i had to put a report and their investigating that because they contacted me again yesterday and said good luck in court and that a sheriff will be at my house because they had my social DL they knew my old job and also my address and ive never benn in trouble with the law and the police ran my DL and said I'm clear all around that they will take care of it and to know i was safe and i contacted the credit bureaus and my bank u hope they know whoever uses my info will go to jail for fraud..

Scam and about tired of iy

they called me and said i will be locked up for seven days if i didn't send money for a loan today and they say their names are Kieth nelson and Jennifer Morgan calling from a California number but from a Phillip and akers in Texas and they call you by your first name which is so unprofessional  definitely a key that its a scam

keep calling duno them

I received a call from this number 619-704-8331 on Friday Sept. 28, 2013. A man by the name of Kevin Smith said I owed a company 687.00 dollars. He said if I didn't pay a officer would be at my house in 45 minutes to arrest me. I said okay.Well the night went on and no police came to my house. Then on Monday, he called again and asked me am I gonna pay. I said no because I know that this is a scam. He said well in two hours the police would be at my home to arrest me, today is Wednesday and still no police has came to my house to arrest me. I didn't know that middle eastern people had American names, the three people I spoke with were Kevin Smith, Keith Nelson, and Joann Morgan she called me from Emergency 911, who call from 911?

I received a call from this number threatening that I had defaulted on a loan and the police would be arresting me tomorrow at 1100am. I believe this is a scam and contacted a retired policeman that agreed it was a scam.

called for coworker of mine - and said they were in palmdale.  I am from california, and when he said the area code was 619 - i knew something was wrong.  Palmdale is 661 area code, and  619 is San Diego -- each about 200+ miles form each other.  India accent, and very hard to hear him on the recieving end.

Got a call from this #...sd my husband took out a loan and he was going to jail...ha! My husband applied for a loan online but we decided against it after we looked at the hight interest rates...so this company just pulled his name from a hat and thought their scam might work...yea right. As previously noted...they are a scam...and they picked the wrong one. Even if you get a loan of this nature it would be a civol matter...not a criminal one...beware of scams!

Called my husband at work, told his name was Charles Hendrick from lawfirm of robert johnson and told him he was getting arrested because of a loan he took out from his bank. Indian accent. Called me a good 20 times and eventually called me a bi*** and said that he had a bigger dick than my husband. Very rude. Called bank and lawfirm and both said it was a scam.

Ok, here's the deal for people who don't know.  I've experienced low-lifes like this before and it took me literally weeks to get them off my back.  And the only reason why I was able to do so is because I conducted research on top of research on how to safeguard myself against debt collectors who "BREAK THE LAW" and violate the debt protection act -- you know what I'm talking about.  These peopled called me every single day ever 1-5 minutes, up to 20-25 calls a day.  I got in touch with the State Attorney General, provided them with all the information I gathered on them (i.e., addresses, names, phone numbers, how the calls went, the verbal abuse, the threats to take my daughter, the threats to have me arrested in front of her, etc.).  When the State Attorney General got involved, the calls stopped.  These idiots had given a phone number that was to an electronics store based out in the valley.  Seriously!!! How stupid could they be.  Do not talk to them.  Check with your state on statutes of limitations on accounts to verify what accounts they cannot collect on.  Be warned, though, if you talk to these idiots, and let them scare you into giving them money, you'll end up giving them more than what the original debt was, sometimes 2-3 times more.  I know, I lost $750 to another debt collector agency, and the original creditor never received the money, nor did they know who that debt collector was. That's because they buy old accounts and use their tactics to extort money from you, jacking up the cost of the amount.

As consumers, and those of us who fall on hard times, we have to protect ourselves from those debt collectors who are in the business for the wrong reason.  There are rights that protect us.  At the same time, protect yourself.  Know the law, know your rights as consumers.

i need to pay back 2500.00 loan? i asked wheres my money then?

so im gettting calls from6197048331 never got any loans online but they said i did any advice they wanted me to put 328 on greendot card?? that red flagged me that i may have been scammed what to do next?

so what did you do about these scam people?

Owe no debt got my personal info from a online loan site calls wont stop from 6197048331

Oh by the way, they didn't want to send the letter. Scam for sure!

Just received a call from 619-704-8331 saying a case against me.  I told them to send a letter and I will contact my attorney.  Yes, it's a scam.  People contact the local FBI about this.

These idiots called me. They even obtained my work number. How?? I have no clue!! Charles Hendricks is the fake name he gave. He had HORRIBLE English. I was freaked out initially, but as the conversation went on I realized that he never told me what it was that I was going to jail for. He gave me NO information whatsoever. I googled the number and found many complaints. I contacted the Attorney General and I was told that this is a very common SCAM. I called back to tell them to refrain from contacting me and Mr. Charles ever so politely told me to get lost.. O_o What a joke?!

I received a call from the legal department of this "company" that said they were calling on behalf of US Cash Advance. They said that I took out a payday loan in the amount of $300.00 but that they weren't able to debit it back out from my bank account. Then I was told to have my attorney call. If not I would be going to court and would have to pay alot more. I do not have a payday loan with these people/

I received a call from a woman with a heavy accent.  She is telling me that there is a case on me with a company call US Cash Advanced.  I had been getting a call from a man with a heavy accent weeks before telling me the same thing.  I told him that I had reported him to the FCC and he stopped calling.  Now the woman is calling me with the same information.  I was informed by FCC that no one should call your phone and say that they represent a company and then get explicitly ugly when you ask for documents.  I called the US Cash Advanced and asked them to run my information and now where in the state that I live does my name appear.  Be aware of the caller.

If you ever applied for a loan online beware! The company that you applied to sold your information to these scum bags so they could further take advantage of you. This is illegal and a scam. Notify your bank and employer and the authorities.

They called me to,sounds indian.She called me five times.told me the same thing.I just ignore the call.Dont let them scare you.

I constantly get the messages and tell them to quit calling and they proceed to tell me what they are going to do my mother , daughter and family members , i end up hanging up and they call back..i tell them that if they do not stop I am coming to them and i am going to chop their heads off and feed them to the sharks...I have never had anyone piss me off as bad as they do....

They called and said I was going to be arrested within 2 hours, but didnt say why and that if I didnt comply they could only "wish me luck". I could barely understand  the lady.

I received a call from this number and they said if I didn't pay them within the hour I was going to be arrested at work on Monday.  Very thick accent and was very threatening.

is there any way to file a lawsuit against them.. because thus is just ridiculous.. they've called my job and my phone and is getting to be very stressful

PLEASE READ THIS THEY ARE SCAMMERS AND THE HEAD OF IT WAS INDICTED, DON'T ANSWER
THEIR CALLSCalifornia Man Previously Sued by FTC Is Indicted on Criminal Charges for Phony Debt Collection Scam
A federal grand jury has charged a Tracy, California-based man with 21 criminal counts of wire fraud and mail fraud for a fake debt collection scheme.  The Federal Trade Commission previously filed civil charges against the man, Kirit Patel, and two companies he controlled, Broadway Global Master Inc. and In-Arabia Solutions Inc.

The grand jury indictment alleges that on 21 occasions between January 2011 and March 2012, Patel sent e-mails, wire transfers, and mail as part of his efforts to defraud consumers.

The criminal case, announced last week by U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California Benjamin B. Wagner, followed a civil lawsuit filed by the FTC in April 2012.  The FTC alleged that Patel and his two companies fraudulently collected more than $5.2 million from consumers for debts that they either didn't owe to the defendants or didn't owe at all, as part of a scheme that involved more than 2.7 million phone calls to at least 600,000 phone numbers.  The agency obtained a court order to halt the scheme pending trial.  Many of the individuals targeted by the scam were strapped for cash and thought the money they were paying would be applied to loans they owed, according to the FTC.

The FTC?s Criminal Liaison Unit, a special branch set up to ensure that appropriate consumer scams are referred for criminal prosecution, referred the case to the Department of Justice and the Secret Service.  The FTC would like to thank both agencies for following up on this matter.
