I have also received calls today from this person and it is not the first time and they use different phone numbers what can we do to stop this from happening and interrupting my place of employment

Same story for me, Chief Chris Baker called from Century Claims Service threatening to have be arrested within 72 hours if I did not make a 1550.00 payment for supposedly an online payday loan with Fast Cash Now I did not pay back. I called Fast Cash Now and they told me this was fraud and to report it to the police. He was very aggressive and knew my personal information. I will also note that the hold music was the same from the prior company that tried this.  I did report it to the police and they are investigating it.

I also have received 3 calls from Chief investigator Chris Baker threatening to have me arrested, stating that he has a warrant for my arrest signed by a judge and the judge had recommended 2 years jail time. I have been told by a local detective of whom I inquired about this and found out that a police officer will not call to tell someone there is a warrant out for them, they just go and have you arrested instead.
This has caused a lot of stress for me as this is not the first time I have received calls like this.

This guy tried to call my wife both at work and at home saying that he would have a warrant but I called the number and filled him in on the laws and then about an hour later another guy called claimed he was a county clerk but couldn't pronounce the name correctly.  These guys are crooks and weak.

I got a call last night leaving a message on my machine saying he was getting a felony warrant for my daughter  that wrote a bad check and if I was included in whatever she was doing, I would be going to jail with her for about 2 years.  I called the number back and the answering machine came on saying this was August to leave a message.  I did leave a message saying this was for Chief Investigator Chris Baker and to not call this number again and not to threat me anymore.  I said who do you think you are calling people saying those things.  If there is a warrant out for you the sheriff comes by your house and will serve you with papers.  This is a scam that they are trying to get money.  Please don't listen to him.  I wish he would call me back so I can talk with him in person and tell him what i think of him.

Same guy called me and my husband saying I would be arrested and taken to jail for two years.  Name Chief Baker from CCS.  I googled and realized it was a scam. I will be calling the police and FBI.  I get a call every two months,  I'm recording the phone calls and the numbers.

Chris Baker got me the same way a one time payment of 215. I cancelled my credit card once my son told me to look into it!

They got me for 215 and I woke up the next day cause it didnt sit well with me. And I google the,number and found out it was a scam. I wish I would have done that first but Mr. Baker said the warrant would be signed by the judgd at the end of the day and I would be picked up and serve 2 years in prison. I cancelled my card and put in a dispute. Hopefully my bank will refund the money. A shame!

I have been receiving calls from this person for weeks but they're asking for someone who I do not know and yet they won't believe me.  Today, I called the number back and got this "Chief Baker" who swore the phone number will be removed from their records. The person they are calling and I share a same last name but are in no way related or are known to each other. At least finding this forum helps me combat them if needed. Normally, I don't answer the calls but they're calling almost hourly everyday.

These people are relentless and don't stop. A month ago I had one of them call me and I just threatened them with the FBI was coming to get them. One guy that called barley spoke English and he told me to F-off when I said that. I think they are idiots but most people are not that smart.
My husband just got two calls today and it's the same number calling his work phone and personal. He has got to be stopped!  When I called the Attorney Generals office they said that the FBI has been following this for a long time. The problem is because they can use online numbers and keep switching them up.

What happened in the end?

did you get arrested?

CCS and zenith group
chief chris baker and mr Johnson

This same group called and and as dumb as I am I gave them at least 4 payments of $166.00.
When I got the call I had just come home from have heart surgery.
the more my kids heard what I had done the more they told me to google the first number from Colorado Mr. Johnson I think.....scam
well I cancelled my card and today I received a call from Johnson at 11 and then at 4 from chief baker that was pretty threatening. .....my daughter told me to google bakers number as well glad I did.......I panicked big time as baker told me I could spend 3 months to years in jail.....both men also called my work and left messages.
These men need stopped and I plan on notifying my attorney

Chief baker also called me today on my cell and my work number
I started to panic but my daughter told me to Google this number and now I see all this
his call to me was exactly like yours and when you call the number back the mailbox name says messages are for August August

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.

John was the caller Chris Baker ?

I received a call from  century Claims services  917-831-4434 Chief investigator Chris Baker threatening to have me arrested before the day is out  regarding a pay day loan that he claims I took out in 2011. After explaining I never did such a thing this person called my place of employment and told them that they was coming to arrest me if I did not return their call. According to Mr. Baker i had committed a felony by taking out a loan and then closing my account therefore committing fraud 8 times because the agency tried 8 times to collect. The loan was for 500.00 dollars but if I had 3500.00 I could pay them to end the matter or risk being arrested and bonded out for 3500.00. He also stated If i did not have 3500.00 now then I would remain in jail for 90 to 120 days before seeing the judge. I have received scam calls in the past but this time the person went to far by calling my job and causing doubt that I have committed a crime , Which in my case I have a professional job where you can not have any infractions on your record. Not only that but I feel like my privacy because they had a lot of personal information about me has been invaded.

Cheif Baker. He called me , warning me with next week arrest.

DO NOT PANIC!  If you receive a call from Cheif Baker, Century Claims Services claiming you made bad checks, call the sherriff's office.  You can also report it to the state.  He has a team working with him, aka Lisa Harrington, Ann Price, etc.  They are the same person.  He will have your family called claiming you are going to jail as well.  It is such a scam.  You may also get a call from one of them claiming to be from 'Legal Mediation' and she is just a 'third party'.  Ask for her legal firms name.  
They will also have several different phone numbers, 601-793-4273, 404-418-8000, 786-231-1193.  

I have reported to the State Prosecutor.  

I received the 'hard court press' from Cheif Baker as well and that I had until 3pm to pay or get arrested next week, Chrismtas week.  I immediately called the sherrifs office and a friend of mine who is a state prosecutor.  Unbelievable what he is doing.  And he has a team working with him, Ann Price (Lisa Harrington) same lady.  He also said he fired her but was confused which one.  

Thank you for posting.  I was seriously freaking out at first.

I recieved a call from cheif baker at my job saying he is going to have an arrest warrent sent out if I did not take care of this matter . I asked him what his legal firm was and he said was CCS all a lie. I called him back to confirm his information and he avoided the questions . it is the biggest scam ever and it needs to be stopped !!!

Guy by the name of Chief Investigator Chris Baker. Called my minor daughter's phone about a bad check. then called my cell today claiming I had until Monday to resolve issue before felony charges are brought against me. I haven't written a check in over ten years. Then I found out there are several people with this same exact experience. These people need to be stopped as I fear there are several older folk who may actually fall for these scams. Oh, and the company he reports to represent is Zenith Financial. Don't fall for these fools. I recommend that you do your homework with a simple google search before making payments to any "debt" collectors so you can be fully informed.
