A co-worker has been receiving calls all morning from someone saying they were "Officer" with a different name each time, asking her to call 903.200.5129. When she happened to be up front and answer the call the caller told her she owed money, but that isn't true. He couldn't give any information regarding the debt, or fax anything. It is a scam

Just received a call from a foreign man claiming to be an officer claiming the same things as others have on this site. These people are ruthless and are trying to me to pay for a payday loan I never took out. BEWARE! This is a scam!
| Jay Higbee 2011-06-06 21:06:25 Unknown |
This is the second number fore the same scam and I know now where they are getting my information.
They are getting it from Pay Day Loans. Pay Day is probably selling customer information to third parties for their scams. Two other companies got info from Pay Day Loans which they used to cash checks from
my bank account. I reported them to the California Attorney General. I will never give any information or use my bank card to purchase anything online again. If I can't pay with my Pay Pal Account I will pass.

From Lamet's post:
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:

Consumer Alert: Attorney General warns Kansans of debt collection scam
January 29, 2010 -- Attorney General Steve Six is cautioning Kansas consumers about telephone calls from apparent fake debt collectors who are impersonating law enforcement officers in an effort to extort money from consumers. Consumers are warned to not submit payments to these fraudulent debt collectors.
When calling, the scammers most often state they are attempting to collect a debt related to an internet payday loan obtained by the consumer, but which the consumer never repaid. Consumers state they have never obtained such a loan or paid off the loan years ago. The scam artists have most recently identified themselves as ACS, National Affidavit Processing Department and United Financial Crime Division, but may use additional phony names. It appears the phone numbers used by the scammers are ?spoofed? numbers, so that the number appearing on a consumer?s caller ID is not the actual number of where the call originated. It appears the calls in question may be originating from outside the United States.
When questioned, the individual calling refuses to disclose the full name or address of the collection agency they claim to represent. These scammers have been able to provide consumers with identifying information, such as the consumer?s social security number, home address, e-mail address, names of family members and the consumer?s computer IP address. Since the callers are able to provide valid personal information, consumers may become confused and believe they are being contacted in regard to a legitimate debt.
If the initial debt collection scam is unsuccessful, consumers have been re-contacted months later with the scammers posing as law enforcement officers or officers of the court. Typically, the consumer is threatened with arrest for fraud or some other fictitious crime unless the consumer agrees to immediately wire money via Western Union. The fictitious officers strive to frighten and confuse consumers into compliance by using legal sounding terms such as ?We?re filing an affidavit against you? or by stating a lawsuit has been or is in the process of being filed against the consumer.
A hallmark of each scam has been calling consumers repeatedly at their place of employment. This scam hit home when an employee of the Kansas Attorney General?s Office was repeatedly called both on her cell phone and at work. Despite the employee?s repeated verbal disputes, the caller refused to provide any identifying information to allow her to send a written dispute. The scammer also continued to call her numerous times a day regarding a payday loan she denied obtaining. Two months later, she was again contacted by telephone by an individual identifying himself as an ?officer?.
?I denied owing the debt and refused to pay without being provided validation of the debt. I was then told, ?If that?s the case, I will have local law enforcement come to your place of business and drag you out kicking and screaming?,? stated the employee.
?It is important for consumers to know their rights under the law,? Attorney General Six said. ?If a consumer is receiving calls from a debt collection company and believe it is a scam, I encourage them to contact our office immediately.?
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), collectors are required to send consumers a written notice within five days of the initial contact. The notification should contain information such as the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed and a statement informing the consumer they have thirty days to contact the debtor in writing to dispute the debt or request validation of the debt. In addition, legitimate debt collectors are prohibited by the FDCPA from making false or misleading representations, such as the consumer has committed a crime, implying nonpayment will result in the consumer?s arrest, or using the threat of violence.

| Riverside CA 2010-07-06 18:36:09 Debt Collector |
I have been receiving numerous calls back to back with the same type of information: They are filing a lawsuit against me for a "payday loan" that I never took out. They have also called from other phone numbers from the 903, 716, and 469 area codes. They give american names and sound either philipino or indian. They have my SS#, address, bank acct #, and work #. Most recently, they said that if I didnt repay the loan back today that they would continue to call my work number and harrass me until I was fired.
THIS IS A SCAM! I have been advised by the BBB to report them to my local police department.

This number has called me repeatedly all day today telling me that his name was officer david wright. he has been harrasing me for 2 weeks. First time he called 2 weeks ago he used dept of crime and prevention said his name was sandy homtom then he used a name I couldnt understand. He had all my information. threatend to throw me in jail over some loan I have no knowledge of. What worries me is this jerk has my info. Before this number he called from other numbers wich I have looked up called back and all calls went back to him. He has called my boss repeatedly as well and used the name mike anderson telling her that i needed to call him at this number that its urgent and time sensative and that if i don't call he wishes me good luck. another number he called from is 818-483-0978. While talkin to me he became disgusting and rude. he gave me his home address and asked me to sleep with him. I told him I do cash transaction so he would have to come pick it up but he better be ready to do some time in jail for harrasement. He didnt give any info on debt told me I owed 460 then when i asked again changed it to 310 so i asked a 3rd time and it went to 445. Dude if your reading this leave me alone stop harrasing me. This man is very disgusting and is a middle eastern man making these calls. I'd rather not change my number and I am goin to file a police report as I have saved his voicemails.
