Another scam phone call trying to get you to wire money-- ignore it!

I HAD THIS NUMBER CALL ME TOO!! THEY CALLED MY JOB 3 TIMES AND MY CELL PHONE NUMOURS TIMES. ALL CALLS HAVE BEEN RECORDED AT MY JOB AND I TOLD THEM NOT TO CALL AND THEY DID AGAIN. I TOLD THEM I WOULD SUE FOR HARRASSMENT IF THEY CALLED AGAIN! IT WAS NEIL JOHNSON WHO CALLED ME. THE FIRST CALL THEY TOLD ME TO PAY $400 AND THEY SECOND CALL THEY TOLD ME TO PAY $200. I TOLD THEM I DIDNT HAVE THE $$ AND THEY SAID THEY COULDNT HELP ME AND HUNG UP. THEY TOLD ME IF I DIDNT PAY BY NOON TODAY THEY WERE GOING TO THE COURT HOUSE..I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS??

These people are going to cause me to lose my job! I have asked that they stop calling me at work and the guy was a jerk and hung up on me! I contacted a lawyer and plan on taking suit against these people for harrassment.

Same stuff, threatens the use of my SS number, thats what is most scary to me.

These people have called me also at work and cell #  1st it was the Dept of law and investigation and now its is ACS Investigations and a woman named Ms. Johnson, i have had Robert Clave, Austin Philips, some steve guy also.  All of whom speak barely any english with lots of people in the backgrounds talking.  Demanding more acct. information threatening jail, court all of the above. I am about to be fired becasue they will not stop calling

they called my phone and my coworkers cell pone whichi have no idea how they got that number

Have been getting calls from 813-995-6249, saying I am a reference for my son who owes them money - $500.   He never got money from them.  The caller says they are going to report us to a fraud bureau?  Too much of an accent to tell what all they said.  Is there anything I can do?

The phone shows up as comming from Florida somewhere.

I have recieved a phone call from 0-527-977-77. When I call back I am told you can not call this number. The message they leave is very distorted and tell me they are from  law and investigations and I have to call back right away. They have called about every 10 minutes. They leave  phone number 1-813-995-6249. What should be done?

i recieved a call and am scared they will take money out of my account. they took 100$ out of my brothers account and i didnt give them any info but could they get it??

They are a pest, I received 6 calls to my Cell and 3 to my work, telling me, that they are the Department of Law and Investigations, and that I best contact them today or my Lawyer, or I will be in trouble.  They can not speak any English and there is a lot of people in the background speaking also.
Very rude and hateful, and did not give a name.

These people just terrorized my very elderly and frail parents in the Midwest and told them that they had to show up in court tomorrow regarding a family member that they know nothing about!!!!! When I called to have their number removed from their database  it took three phone calls and three different people to hopefully get the job done! The first two were very rude, hateful and obnoxious!  They sound like they are foreigners taking on common American first names who probably work for a debt collection organization or maybe its a scam. I am told that they also go by the name of Department of Law and Investigations. Beware of this scum!

I have been getting calls on my job and cell phone from this number indicating that I took money and did not repay I have asked on numerous occasions for the documentation and nothing cannot be given to me and I know it is a scam, they called me previsouly from a 646-434 number and now they are using an 813 number.  I need to know what to do, they are constantly harrassing me and I have absolutely no knowledge of this.......


THEY PEOPLE ARE A SCAM.........

scam, scam, scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Report to police.

Do not trust them, they are scam.They use nick names and try to scare you.We need to report to police department.

I have recieved phone call after phone call from the Dept. of Law and Investigation telling me i owe them $400 dollars and i am being sued for $5,000 dollars they harass me and threaten me all the time telling me i am going to jail if i do not pay them.The men are very rude they call my job and also told my employer that she will accompany me to jail because she would not let them talk to me then they told me that God could not help me or save me from going to jail or from getting in trouble. The guys names i have recieved calls from are James Harrison, and Neil Johnson and a guy named Steven the Phone number is 813 995 6249

yes...today i got a call from these guys at the department of law and investigation and they left a message on my cellphone, saying that my sister borrowed money from them and used my name as a reference, and they are filling a lawsuit in behalf of payday loans for fraud....i called back that 813-9956249 to see what's really going on...and like the rest of you, i hear people on the background, like a marketing thing...very noisy, and the person who answered me was very unprofessional, and also a bit rude to be a law enforcement officer... I just asked and listen, and they said that i need to get my sister to call them back, and i tried to get more info, but they say that this is a confindential matter between my sister and them and they were situated in Florida, and they were calling me in California....What was strange, was they gave me an American name, but the person who answered also had an accent, and doesn't sound American to me....Anyway, I check with my other sister, and she said that she also got a call from this Dept. of Law and Investigation., and she told me that after checking on the internet...These people were just a bunch opf scammers. I wish they would stop doing this, and get on with their own life.

The real question about this is: how are they getting cell phone numbers and work numbers? That is what you need to find out. What sites on the net have you signed up with and given real information to? Do you have spyware on your PC (iphone etc). Scan with a good anti virus to see if you have a key logger or trojan.

The real problem is that nobody will help us. We get a ticket for 30 seconds parking over the time limit and so on but when we need help we don't get it. Phone companies simply "shrug" and say if it keeps up call back or something like that.

These calls have to be stopped.

scam, scam, scam!!!.Report to police. they call every month i tell to call my lawyer they dont want the # so any bill collect will take any iformation you give them.

i got a call from these people today...the called my job...wheni called back the number no one answered...the guy that called my job was a mr. hansen..he was very rude to the receptionist at my place of employment...after reading all of these posts of these people being scams i have called the number back and told then if they call my job one more time my lawyer will be slapping them with a harrassement law suit....so we will see if they call my job again

I  received calls from 813-995-6249 for about a week. I was left a voice message from a middle eastern claiming to be Justin Gibbs from the Department of Law and Investigations stating that my SSN # was under investigation because my niece had used it for fraudulent loans.  I did not respond so they contacted my brother-in-law with the same story, only in this story I had used his social.  I new this was a scam and was going to ignore it, but they called so often that they aggravated me.  I decided one good turn deserves another.  I first answered there call on Monday night saying "Hello Habib." He began laughing and hung up. He called back and I just continued to mess with him using phrases I saw on comedy central.  Then I had friends call him pretending to be different people on my behalf.  Basically in these conversations he can't get a word in and we talk about everything except what he's calling for.  I also leave crazy messages-sometimes I sing.  Finally I was told today I couldn't speak to "Habib" anymore and they were no longer taking incoming calls. For everyone who gets called 20 times a day from this number, know that I call them just as much!  They hate me!

I received a call from this number today. It was the first call I have received and I freaked out. I do have debt and have gotten a handle on it and have called every one I owe so I was like what is this for. The first man identified himself as Peter he went through the same thing they were going to bring me to court tomorrow if I did not pay. He also got very irrate when I started asking questions he could not give me the name of the loan place I owed money to. I called back several times and got someone different each time but they wereall named Peter. I was told by one of my collectors that this is a scam and they have been receiving a ton of calls about it. I had to leave work to get this all figured out and my employer was not happy. Best advice don't freak out like I did and don't send them money

The number 813-995-6249

Me too - they continually call my cell and work numbers, even though I have asked them repeatedly to stop. I try to ask them what debt they are referring to but never give me any information. They also have said they are Department of Legal Investigations and are going to have me arrested - and when I tell them it is against the law for them to misrepresent themselves as law enforcement, they scream at me....then hang up.

Okay, they called and left a message that an old acquantance used me as a "guarantee" to a loan, signed a legal contract that I would pay if they didn't. yeah, right. She was middle eastern and I could barely understand the message. I called back, and they just tell me they had an obligation to tell me he defaulted because he used me as a "reference". So, I had him call. They act like they didn't understand his name. I called back from my # with him on the phone, now it's a pharmacy...They don't know what I'm talking about. All of these calls made within a 15 minute span. LOL. The voice was clearly the guy I spoke to when I called them the first time.

I got a message on my home phone telling me that I was going to be in trouble if I did not have someone named Christopher Bagnell call them right away as he was using me as a reference on "legal paper".  When I called back they would not talk to me unless I gave them my home phone which I would not.  then they hung up.

I told this knucklehead by the name of Sam Johnson that he better never call me at work again.  This incident just happened on July 26 and July 27th.  I went home called this guy back and asked him what bill have I not paid, tell me the company.  Could not answwer.  When he spoke has a very heavy accent and has poor english skills.  He would speak far away from the phone.  I told him I had an Attorney and that they would be contacting him.  I told him he better never call again and harrass me.   This knucklehead just messed with the wrong person.  I tried calling back and would go to voicemail.  These people ought to be put away.  Number given is 813/995-6249.  

I pray to God you catch these incompetent people.  A guy by the name of Peter would answer the phone then direct call to ext. 80001

Message today from a woman with a strong accent, left this ( 813) 995-6249 telephone number , stating she was calling from  Department of Law and Investigations. Supposedly someone had used my name and commited fraud. There was aloud of noise in the background, of people talking with the same accents. I checked out the teltphone number in the reverse look up numbers of the white pages, and it is out of Tampa North, Florida. I won't be calling it back after looking it up here on Google and seeing it is a scam. That is what I figured it was anyway.If in fact it was that important, and from a Law and Investigations, they wouldn't leave a message with so much information, and would just leave a call back number.

I have been getting the same kind of phone calls. The guy says his name is ALLEN WALKER and that he is from the Depatment of Law and Investigation. I needed to call him right away or that I will face hard unwanted consequences and that my S.S number was under investigation..Now if that is not scary, how the hec are the darn people getting all this darn information is what I would like to know. I think that monday I am going to call the FBI and I have got all there messages saved. Oh and tthey also say that they are from Dispute Resolution Center is the new name they gave just this afternoon..Thats different from this morning..The same name and number of person to call back.. Tomorrow is saturday I dont have to many plans going on so I just might give then a taste of there own B.S.

I have also recieved threatning and harassing phone calls from these people. They are very rude and will curse you out very quickly. When i tried to pump them for information, they get very I rate and hung up on me. I have contacted my attorney but they say it is very hard to track them and the majority of the time they use track phones. I was told the only thing i can do is change my home number and just not answer my cell phone when they call. I was advised that i could try to report these incidents to the federal trade commission. They have told me there name is Department of law and Investigation. # 1-813-995-6249 and the last supervisor name was Edward Morrison. I will still file a report with the federal trade commission. We have blocked every single # they have called from and they always seem to call from a new number.

i have been receiving calls from these people since monday. last week it came from another company and when i sent them information showing payment arrangements on a loan i did take out i didnt hear another word from him. then on monday these goobers start up so makes you sit back and scratch your head.  i have filed a complaint with the federal traders commissioner regarding the number also soemthing else that doesnt make any sense is everyone has stated that they left a number of 813.995.6249 well the number they left me is 813.995-6248 and it came from that odd 052797777#.....i know my rights because i have dealt with something similar to this about a year half ago and i know that they have to present paperwork to you and they can not by law call and threaten you.  if you demand paperwork showing the debit then they have to present it to you.  this information was provided to me by the FTC....go to FTC.GOV and file a complaint regarding this scam....
