Do not be threatened by US National Bank bogus collectors

You can find some interesting reading on this at RipOffReport dot com. Thanks for the detailed input.

There have been literally dozens of posts about the slime balls over the past years. It amazes me that they are still operating. They must be offshore using a call forwarding number in the US. Anything to inform people about ther illegal activities is a good thing. Thanks!

I did the same thing. Told the guy that I had contacted the authorities and are now checking in on his practice....I havent heard anything since last week...

So, this CA calls them self US National Bank?

Shazz. . .there are SO many crazies out there these days. I got a call from a company out of CT offering me a "loan" at a great rate. After checking, they were actually out of Canada and ripping people off big time. I ended up speaking with the Royal Canadain Mounties as they were investigating them to try and find them. I also got a $3000 check which was stolen from a Boston, Mass. and I was supposed to go to Moneygram and purchase 2 separate moneygrams for x number of dollars, send to this yahoo company and "keep" the remaining $100 for myself. All this as a private individual making sure that Walmart was doing their job! Not sure what they were trying to accomplish but I think they were setting me up for fraud, theft and/or access to my bank account. Reported it to my banking department in New York. End of story. Can't be too careful these days.

WoW :shock:

Great balls of fire llw, that's so unbelievable. :shock:

I had that happen as well, unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I deposited the money into my account, but didn't send the money back to them in time. Within a few day I found out that the check was a counterfit & my account was messed up for a week or so while everything was straightened out.

So these folks are sending you checks to deposit in your account rather than depositing money. Hmmm, that sounds suspicious off the back :?

There are so many of the out there and I really do think that somehow ours names are on the "crazies" list as a result of all this PDL nonsense. All my snail mail goes in the trash if I don't know who the sender is, I don't answer phone calls if I don't recognize the number and I am super cautious with emails. And yes anyaroberts, I think that is how they are getting the money. . . . .from unsuspecting folks and those same folks are the ones left holding the goodies. You cash the check, and then they get the cash and you could get some jail time for using counterfeit checks. It truly amazes me just how low some people will go. The thing that scares me is, the elderly who could get caught up in this. I had to read the letter a couple of times before I realized exactly what was going on so I could well imagine how confusing it would be to someone in the elder generation. It's sad, sad sad what this world is coming to.

That is ABSOLUTE BS :evil: :evil: Things are really crazy nowadays. I wish I would have never put my info online. I kick myself everday in knowing my SS# is exposed to al those IDIOTS :evil: :evil: :x

I agree. I really do think that all the nonsense I have to deal with via different avenues of aggravation stem from that very first inquiry to the PDL world. As has everyone else on this board, I have learned my lesson the hard way.

August 1, 2008, I recieved a phone call from these people stating that I took a loan out back in June of 2006. Now I owe them $1052.00. They were calling from United Legal Investigation on behalf of US National Bank. Back in 2005 I did take out loan but I am under the understanding that they have been paid in full and then all of a sudden they have popped up again and say I owe this money to US National Bank and if I do not pay, I will be arrested and but in jail for stealing money from the back and bad freud. They wanted me to pay $300.00 today and something later. I have no way of verifying if they are legiate or not. I no longer back with the people they say the money was sent to. How do I go about getting help and making sure that the is truely a matter that I need to take care. They are foregin speaking people using American name. The person that called me was "Richard" and then I talk with a man with the last name of "Hill" with was the senior officer. If anyone is out there that can lead in the right direction how to stop this from happening please let me know ASAP. I have no clue as to what to do.

here is what you do keegan,NOTHING.that's right,read this entire thread.this is a scam,they are calling from india.let them know that you are now informed and will report them.hang up and don't speak to them again.that is what you do.

Welcome to the community Kegan.

As far as I have been able to research US national bank is not located anywhere on US Soil, nor are they a registered business (let alone a financial institution) They commonly make threats of arrest and accusations of false crimes, these are all illegal tactics as debts (outside of certain federal debts such as child support, IRS) are civil matters, not criminal.

Per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act third party debt collectors are not allowed to accuse a debtor of committing a crime or to state that they will be arrested or imprisoned. I would strongly suggest filing a complaint with your state Attorney General's Office as well as with the Federal Trade Commission.

Call the number they called you from afterhours. Just listen to their greeting! They admit to being scammers. Was this done on purpose or what?

april 2009 the scam guys from india are still trying to get money from already paid in full loans

IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE :wink:

I love these guy's, they never know when to quit...yet another message, this time from a # out of Eastern Ontario, Canada (343-729-0937) with a new return # of 954-374-7556.

Listen to Anya, ignore them and they will eventually go away!

Thanks for the reminder. I continue to ignore them but they keep calling!

:cry:
I too have recently been contacted by this scam. They called me one day aver 20 times, and left me over 15 messages. I spoke to them, and asked them a bunch of questions, and this guy would yell at me to stop talking, and let him finish. I answered on a couple other calls, and yelled at him to STOP CALLING ME, and send me the affidavit by mail. He called again a minute later, and left me a message stating good luck as this unfold on me and LAUGHED, then hung up. What worried me was that I do owe on a payday loan, and I am SO worried that they will call my family. If they call my place of employment, I work for myslef. But they threatened to report my company to the FDC, stating that it is federal law they we register with them. He also was asking me if I had ever been picked up for fraud before. Should I hire a lawyer, I can not afford one.

You cannot be arrested for defaulting on a PDL. Ignore them. Do not answer the phone when they call or they will continue to call.
