FSM Processing, United Federal Bank, and Jail?

I got a threatening message on both my cell phone and my work phone saying that I have a court affidavid against me, and that the police would be there to pick me up! - What a joke! I called the guy back and he started in with the court judgement, and I said "no that is not true - just quit lying". He said okay, told me what the debt company was (SJM) and told me a legal complaint had been files. I said agian, "no it has not" and he said okay. He asked it I took out a payday loan, and I said yes. He started with the threats again, I said I was recording the call, and he hung up. A-hole!

This company with the phone number 904-685-5008 called my work over 10 times this morning - they got my voicemail, and then three other people's VM. They left messages about being the "chief investigating officer" on my bosses phone. After calling the guy back (he used a different name) I asked what his real name was and he called me a dirty bas**rd four times. I just laughed at him. He swore at me a couple more time, the hung up. He then called the receptionist and asked for my manager. I had told her what was going on, so she just transfered him to her voice mail. I called the Sheriff's department and complained, then the Bureau of Consumer Protection. I called the guy back again and informed him that I call the authorities, and that he would be hearing directly from them. He said "go ahead", and I said I already called them. He hung up. I don't know if this will be the end of the harassment, but I will not put up with this from anyone. Shaun or Anthony or whatever your name is now, you are not going to get away with these tactics!

I jusgt got a call from 484-220-1055, Mike Scott but they didnt even know what payday loan they were talking about, asked me if I had one with... then they named 5 of them... I have been in default but paid back years ago, where are they getting this from? I couldnt' even understand him! Told him, sure come and pick me up, they said they were going to arrest me at work! I have no payday loans in default?

Got a call from a man with foreign accent...told my co-workers he was the FBI. Next day I called him back at the ph# 732-203-7708. Yelled at me, told me to shut up and listen, that he was with the FBI's main office, that the police would be swarming my house and job, and ruin my life. Would not allow me to ask any questions...in the end he wanted 700.00 to fix this problem, so I would'nt be taken in by the FBI. I don't owe anyone any money, and feel like he got my info off the internet, when I was looking for small business loan. He knew mySSN#/bank acct. # and home address....Embarassed me at work, and scared me....Can some one figure out a way to find out who this is?????????????????

I entered that number at "whocalledus" website and it came up at United Federal Proccessing" and the guy who is calling is given his name as "Andrew". There seems to be alot of people who got this same call and all agree that it is a scam with the same stories as you.

Tell this person that your call is being recorded and you are sending it to your states attorneys office and to your states FBI department and hang up. In the mean time you really need to report this to your local police department and find out how they got your ssn and other infomation. Its a scam and donkt worry about them.


thanks,

Ok, i for a call from a Travis and Andrew both threatening me with jail cause of a payday loan i really can't afford to pay at this present time. Yes i started cussing at them cause they wouldn't provide me with the documents i wanted stating they would give them to me after i went an paid the 700.00. Then ol Travis himself started cussing back at me. I swear i called them back atleast 10 times an everytime he kept hanging up!I had them so irate at me. that they kept hanging up on me. So yes i kept calling them back. Told them that now that they couldn't give me the documentation i wanted and that they kept hanging up on me so i couldn't get the information to pay the debt off that the contract was now NULL and Void. THe indian accented guy couldn't even tell me if this was true or not. Member if they really work for the FBI or anything to that effect that they should be able to provide you with 1. documentation. and 2. not hang up on you, and 3. they should be able to tell you if what you are saying is true. and besides the fact. if they are real FBI agents there english should sound a lil more like english then mumbo jumbo

oh and to let everyone know. Since this all happened at almost 2 hours ago. They haven't tried to call me back yet!

I've had the same run-ins. I am fairly certain that the guy I spoke to was not giving his real name. The message left for me to call was from "matt hardy" of the legal department. I called and asked for Matt and the foreign guy that had trouble with English answered and said he was Matt Hardy.
First of all, the guy used the same "good luck" line when we hung up after he realized I would not budge. I had agreed to make payment arrangements but when he gave me the number - about 4 times the face value of the loan, I refused. I was only willing to pay them twice the face value of the loan. (which I thought was fair) He started threatening to send police to my "place of work" and when I told him he had broken the law by threatening me, he said "you want lecture me on legal?". Um - yeah. Last I checked the law was written in English.....lol
So I told him to get me someone who spoke English and he got mad and said he was hanging up and "good luck."

That "Good Luck" was the key. This is the same person as above. I am sure of it. But he gave a different name. I was already suspicious. "Matt Hardy" sounds way too American for a guy of obvious middle eastern descent with a loose grasp on the English language.
Last time I checked, this is very illegal. They have to identify themselves properly. I don't think a real person named Matt Hardy even works there. Definitely worthy of some investigation.

So I thought I would start a list. For each area code, please list the number, name of the person and any details just as I do. Let's keep this list up towards the top. Once we get a decent list, we can prompt a class action suit. Anyone want to join in?

I received a call today from 678-713-5751 a Brad O'Brien with United Federal Bank on behalf of FastCash500 that said he was send charges to the local police on me for a pay day loan that was in default. The allegations were going to be violation of a federal banking regulation, collateral check fraud, and Test by Deception. I was told if I gave him $783 by 3:00 pm that he would not press charges. i called the police dept to find out if they thought it was a scam. The detective told me that it was probably a collection agency that was using strong arm tactics to get their money and would not send anything unless they sent me something in writing. They would not supply it and the guy also had a thick accent and left me a threatening message. I got the "Good Luck" also.

No such place as United Federal Bank. Illegal collection tactic.There are many threads regarding this on these boards.

I also received a call today from Brad O'Brien at 678-713-5751. When I called the number back, a foreign guy answered the phone & said "front desk". I asked what company was it & he asked for my name & transfered me to Brad. Brad told me that I had called the Department of Federal Crime Prevention about a payday loan from 2 years ago. He told me that I needed to pay $734 before 10 a.m. the next morning or I would be sued for writing bad checks. I tried to google the phone # & it didn't come up. I also called info & they didn't have a number for that business. Thanks guy fo starting this blog!

I've heard the same thing a few times. I even had one company called me late last year said they were from "white collar". That was the name of the company? (LOL) They wouldnt send me anything in writing and told me they needed at least 3 references so they can verify that I am who I said I was LMAO! Oh and I was told I would get papers sent to me and that I would be downloaded by 2pm that day if I didnt pay.
