Hehe. Yup, we all know they mean serious business and serious business needs to be dealt with by serious responses. I generally choose the dial tone but on occasion I might decide to mess with them a bit and be creative.

I love these guys!

I had one harrass a former employer to try to get a hold of me.
Finally did and told me he was an officer, I was going to be picked up at work for felony's ect.
I got some info from them, then told them where to go.

They called back about 2 months later and the amount they claimed I owed went up 500 buck because of "intrest".
I argued with them, they hung up. I was literally on the phone with the Department Of Finacial Institutes when they called back. I told them who I was on the phone with and they told me they weren't afriad.
I pointed out that I was already told by one of them that they were an officer and asked if they understood just how much trouble they can get into by pretending to be one.

1 year later and I've yet to hear from them.

I do recall however that these guys had conned me out of 200 bucks a few years prior. That situation taught me all the lessons I needed to know about fair debt collecting.

I got a phone call yesterday from 805-299-0901. The guy gave an american name, yet sounded Indian. He threatened pretty much the same thing that the person posted at the top of this page. The amt of money went up from $725 to $5484.00. He threatened my being arrested at work, federal bank violation charges, money laundering, etc. He could give no info on the orginial lender nor would share any printed info about this "affadavit". The Deputy Sherriff I spoke to said it was a scam and the # is registered to Paetec Comm., which is a phone company. I have reported the # to Paetec and will file a formal complaint with the County Sheriff today. God forbid these people get any more money from unsuspecting people.

That's a good idea, I never thought about filing a complaint with the phone company.

I guess they have added a new number to the list, now Morgan & Associates is using the number 772-228-4016 out of Sebastian, FL.

These same people are trying to pull the same scam on me. They keep calling my job after I have told them a numerous amount of time not to call me at work. The display number is 772-228-4016, but they asked me to call back 772-228-4009. The person that contacted me goes by the name of Jason, but also has a heavy Indian accent. Thanks to this website, I will not be releasing any of my information to them and will not be giving them a cent!

OK- A "James Mathews" called my place of employment again 9/10/08....I took the message and he gave me a number of 713-366-8135....He also called my home and left a message on it and said "good luck", and god bless"..... I dont know what to do if they call me at work...I am a receptionist and I have to answer the phone....I just wish they would go away........I'm sure it is the same person that has called me dozen of times before.....

dawnlango7 · 09-11-2008, 05:36 AM

Wow, they just don't seem to get the hint & give up...I'm considering myself lucky at the moment (knock on wood) that the calls are far & few between

09-11-2008, 10:48 AM

Tweety71 · 09-11-2008, 10:53 AM

I have never talked to a woman. It has always been the same man just using different names. This morning I filed complaints with the FTC/BBB. I'm working on filing a complaint with my State Attorney General's office.

09-11-2008, 11:14 AM

The link says the page can not be found but when I typed the number at the end in to "search" on 800notes.com you get a great ABC article with all of the links you need to file complaints. They were calling me too. I'm goig to file complaints with all of the agencies they suggested in their article.
