i have recieved calls from several of those numbers with threats coming my way. they would not even say who they were collecting for lol what a joke.. i took the number t the local sheriff office they called them up and would not get them a supervisor.. sheriff then told them they cannot contackt me any further and filed a complaint with the locat trade comission witch they obtained from their area codes and now no more cals coming y way..let the law help you all you have to do is ask.

I received a call today from 678-713-5751 a Brad O'Brien with United Federal Bank on behalf of FastCash500 that said he was send charges to the local police on me for a pay day loan that was in default. The allegations were going to be violation of a federal banking regulation, collateral check fraud, and Test by Deception. I was told if I gave him $783 by 3:00 pm that he would not press charges. i called the police dept to find out if they thought it was a scam. The detective told me that it was probably a collection agency that was using strong arm tactics to get their money and would not send anything unless they sent me something in writing. They would not supply it and the guy also had a thick accent and left me a threatening message. I got the "Good Luck" also.

No such place as United Federal Bank. Illegal collection tactic.There are many threads regarding this on these boards.

I also received a call today from Brad O'Brien at 678-713-5751. When I called the number back, a foreign guy answered the phone & said "front desk". I asked what company was it & he asked for my name & transfered me to Brad. Brad told me that I had called the Department of Federal Crime Prevention about a payday loan from 2 years ago. He told me that I needed to pay $734 before 10 a.m. the next morning or I would be sued for writing bad checks. I tried to google the phone # & it didn't come up. I also called info & they didn't have a number for that business. Thanks guy fo starting this blog!

I've heard the same thing a few times. I even had one company called me late last year said they were from "white collar". That was the name of the company? (LOL) They wouldnt send me anything in writing and told me they needed at least 3 references so they can verify that I am who I said I was LMAO! Oh and I was told I would get papers sent to me and that I would be downloaded by 2pm that day if I didnt pay.

i had a call from a man named robert matthews and told me i was going to jail if i didn't send him 1170.00 and then he asked how much money i had. i just picked a number and he told me to send that amount by money gram but would not give the numbers for money gram until i went to the store and i was to suppose to call him from the store and he stated he would have a officer give me the numbers i needed for the money gram. he told me i owed cash net 5762.72 and i owed fsm 3260.63. he also told me these accounts were in october 2005 and june of 2005. i closed my bank account when cashnet kept taking money out. they got me for 600 when the original amount was 300. they called me at work and i got hold of a lawyer and he told me the guy committed a felony when he threaten me withe being arrested on fraud and the only thing that you could understan was gook luck. the guy said he was from the division of crime prevention in maryland. i haven't sent them any money and i'm not going to. they will call again and i will stand my ground with them. at first i was scared. i am going to talk the attorney generals office in texas.

Hello All
Im New...

I got a called today that Im also been investigated for fraud & that their gonna send me to court & even jail if I don't pay these to companies (b & l marketing and Premier Co.) but I got same called 2 years ago & paid some out and never heard from them and know 2 years later this co. United Federal Investigations is telling me the same thing, what should I do please help?

United Federal Investigations? Just the name may be a violation. You cannot go to jail for consumer debt so don't worry about that. That's the new card they've been playing since deliberate fraud is a crime and actionable. Stop answering the phone. The more you talk to them the more they'll call. What state are you in?

I need to get a letter for the bank requesting extention on my morgage

I've been receiving calls from FSM Group stating that in 2005 I took out a internet loan. Course I have no record of this and whenever I ask them to send me something they refuse, giving various excuses. They state I owe $300.00 and some. Any suggestions.

Tell them to pound sand and hang up. If it was legitimate, they would send you a dunning letter.

i just got that same call today from 407 506 0424

it is a scam on par with US NATIONAL BANK.demand something in writing then hang up and don't speak to them again.

his name was ricky watson and everytime they call it is an unknown number he told me i owed fsm group but do you know who dufrost llc is he told me to fax him something saying that I wanted to pay them 990 and told me exactly what to put on the paperwork

again this is a scam.if ricky ricardo won't provide something in writing don't talk to him.plain and simple.he is in INDIA and can do nothing just hang up on his dumb self.repeat until he goes away.

i got the call today from 202-629-9156 from a guy named shawn richards with a fax number 646-395-1448 sayin i would be arrested if i dindt eend payment today of 900.00 to a paday loan from 2yrs ago is this a scam please let me know

i got the call today from 202-629-9156 from a guy named shawn richards with a fax number 646-395-1448 sayin i would be arrested if i dindt eend payment today of 900.00 to a paday loan from 2yrs ago is this a scam please let me know

you already posted this before.did he have a thick accent?

I got a call yesterday 4/29 from a gentleman at work named shawn richards about going to jail if I didn't pay $700 for an old payday loan. He told me what exactly to write on my fax and then had me get a prepaid visa card from Walmart only so they could have that number. He's been very rude and has a very thick accent. Is this a scam? He's from Dufrost LLC

yes it is a scam.do not talk to this doofus again.he can't and won't do anything but call.

I feel like a doofus. He even threatened to get my mom involved and knew her name. I was scared. I've done some stupid things with money in past and not always been real responsible so I thought this was real. What can be done to recover my money if anything?

if you gaver them bank info go to the bank and let them know.this was fraud.you will have to fill out an affidavit.they should return your money.then i would close your account and open a new one.most do it at the same bank.see the manager for this.

I got a call yesterday from a man named David Cooper who said he was from the department of justice and that I had taken out a $300.00 payday loan form the above named bank that had not been paid back. He had a lot of information about me and was trying to get me to ok a withdrwarl from my account. He would not give me any information about his office. I have contacted the department of justice in the state he has reffered to and they are looking into it. If any one has a contact number for United Federal Bank I love to get it. Thanks and look out for these guys.

I did not even take a loan out and was contacted by this so called FSM Group advising me to pay their company $300 to settle out of court. I contacted the police department and was told that this was a scam....they are also investigating my situation because I have been getting harrassment calls to my job from these people with thicke indian accents who said that their names are Douglas Woods, Frank Anderson, Jermaine Johnson, etc. Before sending your hard eran money to this company, I would investigate first.

I also got a call from Officer Smith with a very tick accent and they said I owe them $300 plus $112.36 for interest for a payday loan I received directly in my checking account, but I did not receive any payday loans from them. I sent back a reply from the email they sent me and I cam not going to send them a dime because I do not owe them.

If you haven't taken a payday loan from them, then you're in no way responsible for the payments. You did the right thing by sending them the letter mentioning that you won't be making any payments.
