In addition to filing complaints with the agencies discussed above, and notifying your local police department, file a report with the US Postal Inspection Service. This is not some consumer-help agency. This is a real, federal law enforcement agency, complete witrh badges and guns. The Postal Inmspectors have jurisdiction over a wide range of federal laws involving the mail. They have sharp teeth, and they aren't in the least shy about using them.

I got a call from 800-670-2137. Said they were collecting on a pay day loan I had 4 years ago. Called my work repeatedly....when a cp-worker said I was not here "Frank" said I know she is you B$@tch! She hung up and he called again and again. Finally I called back and they wouldnt give me an address or anything. It was a total scam...jut wanted a credit card or bank account #. I'm not a fool. The problem I had was the guy basically said until I give him some money he will just call over and over and over until I get fired. It was blackmail. The police said all I could do is file a harrasment charge. There must be more I can do?? These people somehow have my personal info!!

I got a weird call from someone with a heavy accent but who said their name was Alan O'Connor claiming I had borrowed $150 online and making all kinds of threats. I never took out a pay day loan online! He was insisting I gave the name of an attorney but would not send me anything directly. Said he was out of California, representing Cal Smith attorneys for paydaythree.com. Anyone else run across them?

Same thing has been happening to me. They call and say I owe money for a payday loan and that I will get taken into custody if i dont pay. They call from a california number. They said I owed some company, so I went and looked up the company online and called them myself. The guy at the actual payday company said they had no records under my name and come to find out, you cant even get a loan threw there company unless you live in Utah, which I dont. He told me it was a scam and lots of people had been calling to ask what was going on. They call me all the time and have started calling my work. If I tell them to stop calling, they call even more, like 5-10 times within minutes.

then i would stop talking to them.they won't send a thing then they are a scam that can do nothing.they will tire of either getting hung up on without a word,or talking to a message machine.

you cant just hang up on them because they just keep calling back. It makes for a real uncomforatble situation at work. I call them everyday now just to harrass them. They are in India not in CA. They use a ficticious address which is actually a Mailboxes etc address. They have admitted to me several times they dont use their real names because they are told to use fake names by their employer. They are really pretty dumb and try to use intimidation to get money out of you. Just call their bluff then keep calling them back repeatedly and they will stop.

I too keep getting these calls....813 388 4157 and when he went to tell me his name it took him almost 4 to 5 seconds to say it. They say there from ACS and took out a loan from Advanced Cash USA in which I have not done. They call your number anyomous then tell you to call a certain number.

I filed a complaint with the FBI as well

Excuse me can I ask you where you went to file a complaint with FBI? I had a cash loan three years ago and I paid it all off through my checking account. Now they are harrassing family members at their homes asking for me and leaving case# and for me to contact them. I want to file a complaint because I do not want my 85 year old mother being harrassed anymore by these scams.

Dude you just saved me from identity theft, first an english speaking girl called me asking all this stuff about me winning money, then these indian guys started calling saying they would wire money to me if i filled out a survey, upon them telling me to go to paydaypickup.com i thought it sounded phishy, so i googled it and your response came up. Thank you so very much

I didnt give them any money and noone else should either! they will not give you proof of the charges. they told me that after I pay the would provide me with verification.I have done research on this and even called the police! they give me names such as Andy Taylor, Robin Williams, Arnold Whatson, and they even called my sister and said the name was Jimmy Carter. report this crime and dont give any info. Has anyone else recieved calls from these people? one tim they said they were from united paralegal...

I've been getting these calls over a period of months now. They stop for awhile and then begin again. I've been told they are in call centers in India--and it may be that some of them have no idea what they are really doing. If it weren't for the fact that they keep calling my workplace harrassing me, they would be quite laughable. The fake names with the heavy accents is ridiculous, and the fact that they know nothing about our law enforcement or legal system is even dumber. They have managed to learn the word "affidavit" in reference to legal documents, but even if criminal or civil charges were warranted, an affidavit is nothing and means nothing, and is not the proper way to file a charge against someone. I've been told they buy up prepaid cell phones on trips into the US from different areas like CA which is why they have CA phone numbers, although they're in India. However, they have to have people in this country acting as agents to receive money. How much those agents know is questionable. still, they have my address, ss#, checking account, and work phone number, and boss's name. I gave them a fake routing number.

Don't even talk to these people, hang up immediately, the more you talk to them, the more they will call.
