That same guy just call my office phone, my co-worker took the call because I was out. They threaten her if she didn't tell them where I was and told her that she was lying by saying I wasn't around. Then when she demanded that she speak to their supervisor he hung up. Then he called my cell phone leaving a message that if I did not call him back then he could not be held responsible for what would happen to me next.

I received 2 calls this morning. One on my home phone I didn't recognize the number on caller ID so I didn't answer. Almost immediately after the phone stopped ringing, I got a call from the same number on my cell. I have never received a payday loan. Are these people a legitimate collection agency? There was no message left on my cell phone. I was out the door to work this morning so I am not sure if there is a message on my home phone. Judging by the quickness of my cell phone ringing, I would say no. The number that called me was 651-204-1329.

Ok people they are trying to scare you and it looks like it is working. Now bring it to the next level and get mad,fighting mad and tell them to take a short leap in the nearest swamp available. Know and understand your rights and don't ever let anyone abuse them again.

My husband and I just received a call from these people. A man with a very heavy Indian accent calling himself Travis Griffin left a message on our answering machine stating that he was from United Processing Investigation Headquarters and that my husbands name and social securtiy number showed up in their system as online fraud. He said that my husband needed to call back immediately so he could try to help him, if not he would think that my husband was trying to run from this matter and would take legal action at our address or at his place of work with my husbands manager. He had my husbands ss# which he read out loud on the machine (1st red flag) they never do that. He also had the name of the company that my husband works for and our home address. When my husband called this number back (908-212-3726) he spoke to this person that couldn't give us any info as far as what company my husband took the loan out with. He just kept saying that if my husband did not pay him that he would show up at our house and bring my husband "downtown". We thought this didn't sound right so I typed the phone number into Google.com and this website showed up. I can't believe we were almost scammed. I did notify 7 on you side. The ABC news investigation team. Hopefully they will look into it. I would hate for one more person to give these people money or for them to scare someone like they did to me when I heard the message on my machine.

These clowns called me 5 times in the past hour just to get me to spell my name for them. When I asked for an English speaking person, they just spoke louder. This one was Steve Hawkins. When I asked if that was a British or Scottish name he got insulted.
I just told them that I was recording the call to turn over to my lawyer and the police dept. Funny they haven't called back since.
I don't have any bad debts so I have no idea why they're calling me, and on my cell phone at that.

This man with a foriegn accent called and said he as with "United Federal Legal". He called from 954-237-6824 and gave me 45 minutes to come up with money. He said his name was Steve Hawkins and if I didn't he would have me arrested at my job etc. I asked him to send me information in writing he told me "he wasn't my servant" and if I'd just listen to him I'd know what I needed to do. So I listened then he proceeded to tell me that he bought my debt and fumbled to cover that part up. He was going to fax paperwork to the local police department and have me arrested at home/work. I then tried to make payment arrangements, said he couldn't help me and I'd pay over $3,000.00 in a New Jersey court and proceeded to hang up on me. I have filed complaints with the attorney General's office and the FTC. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!

If it's legal in your state, record the calls. It would more likely be the other way round, "Steve Hawkins" (notice the similarity to the British scientist of the name?), would have criminal charges filed against him.

This is just a scare tactic, they can't arrest you. Alot of companies hope they can use these tactice to scare or threaten you into paying, because they know that they cannot validate, or even if it's a legit dbet..Karen

I'm sorry but I have to call bull $&#@ on this one. They cannot have you arrested, post your picture in the paper, or make you lose your family. They are using scare tactics that are highly illegal (persuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) If it is legal in your state to record phone conversations I would call them back and get it on tape. Contact your attorney general's office and file a complaint. If you can get it on tape then you would have concrete evidence to take them to court for fdcpa violations (you may be awarded up to $1000) in addition to that the Federal Trade Comission should be notified.

They called me today about an outstanding payloan I recieved from Fox Enterprises. They said I was going to be arrested if I didn't pay now. Then I said I would try to work something out, and he went into another room and acted like he told police to hold off for now in arresting me. That is when I got suspscious!
They just called my work again. They said they would write my VP of Operations of my company and let them know, and that I would lose my job. I knew I couldn't lose my job, but can I really be arrested?
