payday scam

I have been harassed by the same people with the indian accents- the funniest thing is the one person pretended to be 2 people! They claimed I had federal charges pending against me- so I called all the courts with NO RECORD of my name. These people are frauds! I have 11 missed calls from them right now. The numbers are 585-919-0331 & 202-629-9367.

I got a call from someone named Steve Dawson and they said they were with the legal department from cah advance and said I owed them $451 dollars and I could pay now to avoid a lawsuit and I have never took a loan out from them or even heard of them. They have strong Indian accents and would not give me any information. I was wondering if anyone else has gotten a call from them?

My parents just got 4-5 calls from them within an hour. A strong Indian accent each time, sounds like they are calling from a cell phone, the reception is extremely bad. I tried to hang up on them, but they wouldn't hang up. Just kept saying "hello? hello? hello?" Finally my mom talked to them and they said that her number had been randomly selected for a free cell phone from Verizon Wireless. My mom talked to them twice and I talked to them once telling them to stop calling, they had already called, etc. I read on another post that someone else had the same thing happened, and Verizon has been notified, because this is clearly a scam

I had a similar calls from the guys with the accents. They said I had taken out a payday loan online and owed money and I was going to be sued and taken to jail. I said no, I never did the loan. I had filled out an online application but did not take the money. He asked how I could prove it...I said with my bank statements that would prove I never recieved the deposit.
What worried me was thus guy had the last 4 of my social and my bank account. He wanted me to confirm them but I would not.
When I called the AZ AG office, they actually asked if they could pass my name and numnber to the FBI as they are investigating it. When I talked to the FBI agent he said that these guys move so fast they have a hard time tracking them down. He also told me it is easy for these guys to get the last 4 of your bank account or social. it makes them more believeable with that info. He siad they would eventually try to get me to give them the rest of the numbers through a settlement agreement.
After I talked with the FBI agent these idiots called back. I told them I had reported them to the AG office and that seemed to have worked. They are no longer calling me.

I too had this call just yesterday. Scared me to death I even called an attorney. threatened with sending the sheriff to pick me up at work. That I committed some sort of fraud and had to pay 1095.00 now. They were able to help me if I cooperated and reduce it to 820.00. I did not send any money but had my daughters name and sister and said they too were going to be arrested and charged with being an accomplist. He was so hard to understand but what I could pick up was extremely threatening. Don't send any money. My attorney reported this to consumer fraud with the State and banking regulatory.

i get calls from people who are guys then i had 1 female call me and gave me the same speall about how this is fraud and legal action will come apon me and they have my name, ss#, and drivers # all because of a payday loan and all these people who do call are all foreign.....talk will an accent but have broken english.........well they do call they sound like they are reading from cue cards.......doesn any one else have that same problem? My bankrupcy attoney thinks its all a scam too.......the last name i got was from a mike philips from a # of 1-347-342-0495

DO NOT TRUST ANY ONE! someone called me stating that they were David johnsonton, with an indian accent, from Crimial Investigations out of New Jersey and they would not give out very much info. I contacted my local police department also. All they wanted was a payment with credit or debit card or they would press criminal charges aganst me. They even had the nerve to call me at work!!!!!

do not trust the number 1-732-606-4373!!!!!!

I always deal with CashCentral.com I never had a problem with them. Been using them since 2007. I have ran cross a few scandalous ones. But I got my money back.

I recieved a message frm a number, what looks like overseas, 052797815???? The man called with a very heavy middle eastern accent, said he was from legal services and tht i was being sued for a bank out in florida( i think he said united federal bank), he said i was being sued for $6000 for a payday loan that i did not pay back. I told him there was no way in hell, i have never taken a payday loan.I went on to tell him tht i have never been in trouble with the law or court stuff and tht i had no idea what he was talking about. He became upset and said you are being charged with 3 counts of basically what translated to bank fraud.I told him tht was a lie... I told him to F*** off and hung up. I then recieved a call later tht night, i didnt answer it. But then i started recieving the calls at work, I answered and said tht person does not work here( myself). what do i do to get rid of this. ITS A FRAUD... HELP!!!!!

Yes..these are bottom feeders, I got the same call a while ago and I called my local police department and BBB. Hang up on them and call your phone company to have the call blocked.

I will be able to shade some light on this issue.

Those people who are having loans and they haven't paid then their OC transfer it to CA.These CA in turn hire an english speaking call centre guy/gul from either India/philipines and thus they try to collect the money.

Now most of the time person's names being identical they call to the third person who actually do not owe anything to these companies.....

These third persons are you guys....
so take a cool...

keep in touch....

I believe the saying is "shed some light". Well let me shed some light into this problem. I have never taken a loan out for anything ever, no payday loan, no bank loans, NOTHING. This man who called, threatened me, mind you i do not take kindly to threats from anyone and that is not LEGAL procedures in the united states. This man some how found my info and is tryin to extort money. I have contacted the fbi, federal trade commission and state attorney, the are aware of the scam and have informed me of my legal rights as a united states citizen. In this country(united states) there are proper regulations on how debt collectors, financial institutions and banks are suppose to collect debts. These people are FRAUDS!!!! They prey on people who they think they can extort, unfortunately unsuspecting victims give in to the fear and give them what they want. BUT not me... I know if someone is suing me, proper court documents must be presented and i have the right to dicuss my case in a court of law.That my friends is the law. You have rights. Not even the third party can call and make threats.

i have been getting calls from 231-784-2070 the indian guy says his name is kevin johns and that i owe cashnet 1000 but i can settle out of court for 827 and he also stated that if i didnt pay that i was gonna be charged for fraud and embizliment and that they would issue a warrent for my arrest there was also a man same assent calling sayong he was from hudson law firm and his name was ron anderson and they called my job and left the name and number as steve johnson from american legal but all with the same number and when i hang up on them they leave threating voicemails which i have reported them to the company they say i owe money to and they are doing an investigation on this

Once again, this is one of the biggest scams out there. If you get a call like this, notify the FTC, the BBB and your local police department immediately--and tell the crooks you are doing it. Most likely the calls are originating from a call center somewhere in India and they are preying on the fact that people will be scared and will payup without exercising their legal rights which are: to have the debt validated in writing--and most importantly, NOT to go to jail for a civil debt!!!
What I would like to know is this: although it's clear that the calls are originating from India, who is hiring them?

i think it's two things.some illegal pdl's are either selling,or giving info to these places.some illegal pdl's are outsourcing collections to these places because they can threaten like they do without ramifications.either way it is sickening to think good people are being victimized by this.
