These people are alsosaying that we had taken out a loan and are very threatening to us. I will tell them that we are taking it to the police and the bbb

I have been receiving the same threatening calls at home, work and on my cell. They have threatened to arrest me and claim to be from the Legal department of BFF. Sometimes they leave a phone# with an 804 area code and sometimes the number is untraceable as it comes up as 000000. It amazes me that our Government can not stop these harrassing calls. If I were to call an individual and threaten them I would be arrested. These are definately scam calls and they are Illegal!!!

Amy,

The EXACT thing happened to me as well...only he called me at my job and threaten to arrest me if I didnt pay $730 that day. I've done the same thing you did by going online to those cash advances but cleared out my information.


Someone needs to catch this guy and charge him!!!

OK... So Im getting the same guy, caller ID is saying unknown number. He is giving me the name MICHAEL CHAVEZ with DFF LEGAL DEPARTMENT, with this phone number: 610-200-8026. I KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED! About a month ago, I googled "payday loans"... I looked at several different companies/websites. I even went as far on one website (I have NO idea which one) to fill out a little info. But I stopped, never completed the application and closed my browser. All of the companies payback rate was either double or tripple the small amt. I needed, and I just couldn't bring myself to agree to that. The next day, and for the next three weeks I recieved 50+ emails a day from multiple payday loan websites, and they were calling my house phone all day trying to loan me money. I began to unsubscribe from the emails, and hang up on all calls. For the past week I have been getting calls from this unknown number, but would leave no message. TODAY I was home and caught the call. It was this guy! Same strong indian acct. Same threats. I was being charged with theft by recieving, electronic fraud, and identity theft via email. He had ALL my personal info, S.S.#, bank act.#, home address, e.t.c. HOWEVER, he never said he had my bank routing #. Yet he did know my banks name. Threatened to arrest me, was going to take my house, I would be paying him $3000+, kept throughing the word "federal" around. He said I borrowed the money from CASH ADVANCE or CASH NET..then he named off around 20 other diff. payday loan companies that I could have borrowed it from. I KNEW THIS WAS A SCAM, so I entertained him a bit. I asked how much did I borrow? He said "Between $250 & $350" I asked why he didnt know for sure, he talked over that. I then told him to listen to me carefully, that I to had been recording the conversation, and that I had never recieved any deposit into my bank act. from any payday loan company, nor had I requested or authorized any deposit.I told him that I would be contacting the police about this & my attorney, and would be listing a fraud alert on my bank act. And that if he ever called me again, I would sue him as well. He screamed he would be calling me again, and that he was coming to "my town" tomorrow to file these charges "into my name" and I would be arrested tomorrow. Said he was going to call my job, I laughed real hard and said "Go ahead, I'll give you the number...it's 911, I'm a cop". He hung up. Just to be on the safe side, I called my bank... they say I have to close my act. and open a new one to protect myself.... what a hassle.

These people are calling my coworker OVER and OVER claiming that she is someone she is not. I took over the call at one point and he was so rude. I have never experienced anything like this before. He tried to get her ssn#. He insisted we give her name to him. Her called me "darling" over and over. I asked him for his name and company. He said "Shawn" from"Law Office of Massachusets." Complete fraud and I let him know we would be reporting the call. I then hung up, and he proceeded to call her # 4 more times.

Have been receiving harassing and threatening phone calls from 804-286-0651 and a man by the name of Jimmy Owen is on the other end.  He sounds Indian----didn't know people from India named their children "Jimmy".  He claims I owe money.  He calls my cell phone and my work.  I notified him to not call my job that I am not allowed personal calls.  He persisted in talking over me during the conversation so I hung up.  He called back....I didn't answer.  The message stated that he would call my place of employment tomorrow and make sure I lost my job.  Two weeks have passed and have not heard from him until yesterday.  Stated that a warrant would be issued for my arrest, the police would grab me by the hair and drag me to the jail.  He called my job today and told my office manager that if she did not deliver the message and if I did not call back that the company could be held liable!  I contacted our sheriff's department this evening.  The detective is going to call....hopefully it will work.  Just received phone call from sheriff's detective.  Stated that he spoke with "Jimmy".  Detective stated that Jimmy snickered and said "I will not call her anymore."  So we shall see.......

I received a call from the "Detection for Financial Fraud", better known as DFF, stating that I was going to be arrested, lose my job, and be humiliated by my family because I had a court case against me (I don't).  At first I freaked out because the man "Jeremy Harrison" had my SSN and bank information but after I calmed down I realized he was a FRAUD.  I did go to the bank and cancel my accounts and notify the BBB about these people.  Be very careful and don't give them anything.

I ahve gotten two seperate calls, one was from 804-286-0651, they are from south Africa and are scammers who think they know everythinhg about me. They say they are police there and I have a crime regestered against me and I need to contact "Jun Jordan", Don Ramsie" and  I alerted T-Mobile about this. Anyone who gets calls from 804 530, 206. or any mentioned on Google contact your local police department because these people are criminals who may sreal your identity and con you into veriufying your SSN address and work place.

I had a gentlemen by the name of Andrew Scott contact me stating that an employee of mine had been involved in some fradulent activity and he needed to speak with him immediately. I then pulled up our database and no employee was found by that name.  "Andrew Scott" called me from 804.286.0651...After putting this number in google search I then realized that this was some sort of scam.  What a SCAM these people have!!!

I had to pay back a pay day loan in full by paying $510.00 today are pay by installments or go to court. He told me that DFF was going to take me to court and sue me if I didn't pay this amount.

Got a call today from 804-286-0651 claiming that there were 3 allegations against me and that they were going to take me to court because I committed check fraud and "therft by deception."  When I asked to speak to a supervisor the same man came back on the line using a different name and when I asked for his real name he gave me 3 different ones - Jerry, Paul, and Ramsey.  I hung up and they continued to call me until I threatened to call BBB.  Be careful!!

This company calls every 5-10 minutes it is not always the same number but it is alwyas the same guy asking for someone who I don't even know. He gets smart with my husband but when I answer he says he loves me and wants to "f" me.
