They keep
Bugging my sister at her residence in another state.  This is crazy and potentially embarrassing !

call from Financial Law Department, Brooklyn, New York, threatening law suit for money owed, to whom I don't know. Never received money from anyone online. Gave me a case #

threating calls from this telephone number to personal references for a debt

I have been recieving numerous phone calls from these guys too. When I call back it says the number has been disc. I finally got through to someone and he said that If I dont pay back these loans I would go to court and he would contact my work and tell everyone what a "Fraud" I am. Anyways, what threw me off is that I could hear music in the background playing that was from a horse race? If you have any suggestions please contact me at kimkaufman2010@yahoo.com.

Thanks

There has been this man by the name of Marcus Micheal and said that he has a law suit against me for a cash advance he never would give me any info so I told him to send me something in the mail stateing what this is.

I started getting calls the first part of May a man named Shaun Richmond telling me I have comitted financial fraud on a loan that I have received in 08 I never had this loan then he let me talk to a woman wanting me to settle this debt her name was Claudia Jones they both spoke with an middle eastern accent. they went so far with this that the last number they gave me to call them back at was to call Marshall David Black the number was the direct line to the FBI I called the number on my phone and it was really the FBI the man I talked to said this was a scam I already thought so the would never send me documentation I ask for. I changed my bank account and my phone number and I have never heard form them again. I am contact our Attorney General

I to have been a victim or this scam going on...I reported them to the FTC. I received calls from a Angela Smith from # 401-757-3058 extension 126..I also received calls from 916-359-0000 and from 716-541-0015. They told me they were from B.C.I (bureau of Criminal Investigation.

There is also some AWESOME and detailed information about this here: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-646-257-3568#p70209891247249936.  Look for the lengthy post by Lamet.

Awesome information, Lamet!  

This is what we found out from the California Attorney Genreal: This problem stems from consumers that appled online for a cash advance loan.  Judging by the internet, there are several cash advance companies that may be involved in this: Cash Advance USA, Advance Cash USA; US Cash Advance etc.  Anyway, the company's data base was hacked and all contact information for the referrals was stolen.

Jim Morgan 646-257-3568 and Samuel Bishop 707-693-4104 are the two dirtbags that we have received calls from.  They both have thick middle eastern or Indian accents and are very threatening.  They state that the party that applied for the loan committed fraud and to avoid trouble we need to work with them on payment of so-and-so's debt.  They are not the brightest criminals in the bunch, however, as they are using their personal cell phones to make these illegal calls (we paid to get Samuel's number traced and found out it is actually listed to him).

Here is what to do to stop these scum suckers in their tracks:

1) Tell them that you know they obtained your information illegally and that you know what they are doing is a scam.

2) File a complaint with the California Attorney General - (916) 322-3360 or (800) 952-5225 in California and the Federal Trade Commisson 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/.  NOTE: The California AG is aware of this issue!!  He is the one that provided us the information on how these slimebuckets got our information and advised us to file a complaint with his office and the FTC.

3) Tell the low life that you are talking to that you are filing complaints with the California AG and the FTC.  Also let them know that both government organizations are aware of their attempts to commit fraud on consumers.  We did this and have not heard from them since.

I hope this helps!

KS- Please excuse me put I meant to say I have contacted the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) not FDC - please excuse these horrible scamers have gotten my brain fried.  But I am still alert enough not to send them money.

KS  -  I went on the Cash Advance of America website and there is a scam alert on the web regarding people receiving phone calls regarding cash loans on default and that is a scam.  I verified with them (which I already knew) that I do not have any loan or default loan with Cash Advance.  I googled the phone number that this David Cooper gave me, to call him back - this web site comes up http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-646-257-3568 .  This scam has been going on for some time it is truly a scam.  

This David Cooper has even contacted two of my friends and leaving them messages that David is trying to reach me about a very serious legal matter.  

I have contacted the Indiana Secretary of State office, the FDC (Federal Department of Commerce), and or course one of my local TV stations here that has an investigating report who researches such scams.  I am meeting with him on Thursday, May 13 to talk about this situation and to inform viewers regarding this horrible scam.  The reporter has called me today and said he tried the number I gave him for this David Cooper but it has already been disconnected.    


I have also changed my home phone number.  I have a 90 day fraud alert on my social security number, and I have also contacted my bank and my bank has put a withdrawl alert on my account, until I get into the bank to completely change my banking.  Fortunately there has been no unauthorized transactions on my bank accounts.


Today, May 12, 2010 already I have been contacted 3 times by this David Cooper ? when the call comes in the number appears with a 3 digit number of 011 in front of the 10 digit number.  The 011 number is the international long distance number and then the number is routed through the United States.  
KS what ever you do DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN ANY MONEY.  The most important issue here is that your  know this a scam .  These people pray on your fear not necessarily your intelligence.
If they call again them you have contacted the appropriate law authorities and hang up.

.

I have been recieving calls froma bob cooper then its david cooper he states that i owe for a payday loan.  I have NEVER recieved a payday loan he threating to take me to court for a laon that I did not get and the phone call are getting on my nerves.  He first called from 916-395-0000 left a message stating return his call at 646-810-8626

Fake Debt Collectors ? Terrorizing Consumers

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.html   latest release of information on this scam

http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfm
Attorney General Darrell McGraw took the extraordinary step today of warning the public about a band of scam artists making threats to consumers who allegedly obtained Internet payday loans in West Virginia and across the nation. The consumers they threaten never obtained a loan at all or paid it off years ago.

Internet payday loans are short-term loans or cash advances, usually for 14 days, made over the Internet via interactive web sites and secured by an agreement authorizing debits of the loan and all fees owed from the consumer?s checking account. These loans typically charge interest rates ranging from 600-800 APR and are unlawful in West Virginia.

The scam artists, who speak English with a foreign accent, call themselves ?U.S. National Bank,? ?Federal Investigation Bureau,? ?United Legal Processing? and numerous other phony names. They refuse to disclose real names and addresses and are believed to be operating ?off the grid? from homes, automobiles, or from off shore locations or foreign countries, including India. Since the scammers have kept themselves purposely well hidden, thus far no law enforcement agencies have succeeded in locating or shutting them down.

The scammers typically pose as law enforcement officers, investigators, lawyers, and bankers and threaten consumers that they will be arrested for ?bank fraud? or other fictitious crimes unless money is wired immediately. They simultaneously scare and confuse consumers by using meaningless legalese gobbledygook phrases such as, ?We are downloading warrants against you? or ?We are filing an affidavit against you.? Consumers who don?t immediately fall for the scam are warned, ?Only God can help you now.?

The scammers almost always call consumers at work several times a day, and tell their supervisors, ?Your employee has committed fraud and is about to be arrested.? Such threats have proven unsettling even to the most savvy consumers and employers who suspect the calls are fraudulent.

Attorney General McGraw stated, ?Ordinarily my office protects consumers from fraudulent activities by seeking injunctions in court. But legal action cannot be taken until the scam artists can be located. Even then, it is unlikely that the persons behind the fraudulent calls and extortionist threats would obey a court order. In this case, the consumer?s best defense is to be armed with the knowledge of the scam so that all demands for money can be resisted, despite the false but scarey threats of arrest.?

McGraw added, ?Because the fraudsters make a special point of calling consumers repeatedly at work, employers must understand that the consumers are innocent victims of a criminal enterprise and cannot stop the calls from coming. I also wish to assure the citizens of West Virginia that my office will continue to do everything possible to locate and shut down the outlaw debt collectors.?

More information about this fraudulent debt collection scheme is available at the Attorney General?s website, www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam. Any consumers who have been threatened by these persons or wish to file a complaint about another consumer matter may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 1-800-368-8808, or by obtaining a complaint form from the Attorney General?s web site.

It's a debt collection scam. And all their threats are false and illegal.
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 gobblygook 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, Hopkins Law Office, 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.)
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money.
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 (Read 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:

(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.wvago.gov
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:

I have received numerous calls from this number.  I have reported them to the FDC (Federation Department of Commerce) the FDC is aware of this number and scam.  The FDC told me on no circumstances send money to them - it is a scam.  The guy that called me was named David Cooper and he gave me a name of the financial restitution officer names was Claudia Jones when I spoke with her she wanted me to send by fax to clear this financial matter up my debt card number, etc.  I did not do it.  They keep saying they are with Cash Advance of America - if you go on the web site for Cash Advance of America there is a scam alert regarding this scam.  Do not send money.

These guys are scammers.  Do not give out your personal information.  They could wipe out your entire account.
