Is anyone still getting these calls? Financial crime investigation?

has this been happening constantly?i do know a couple of people who get calls,but at first they didn't know it was a scam so they would call for awhile then stop.i guess it depends on if you answer and engage even a little that first call.now they don't return there messages and it stops after a day.something really should be done about this.it is a total scam in INDIA and our elected officials should do something.

On and off for the last 2 years. Yes, more recently than before. Stopped for a few days but has really hit hard with me for awhile. I can't find an address to file a full complaint because they are scum and hide very carefully.

because it's tax time tweedy.just keep hanging up on them.they will go away again.

You aren't alone Tweety. The other day they called so many times at my work number that my co-workers suggested I forward the call to campus police (work at a university). Since then, I haven't heard from them - but I won't be surprised if they start calling again. I wish there was some way to find these people and then we could all file a class action suit against them - although I doubt there is any money to get for settlement from them - but would love to just see them suffer a bit.

cntrygirl63-do you return their calls? You told them you were forwarding the call to the police dept?

Hiya Tweety, long time no see! I can't believe you're still getting these calls! :shock:

Yes, today at work about an hour ago it was "scott rogers" earlier this morning there was a message on my phone at work from a "tom rogers" same number 646-810-8639! UGH!

Just got a message that I needed to call asap. Another number they use is 646-652-0716. Big Scam

Hi Tweety. Yes, I am still getting the calls. They were down to about once per month. This time there was only two weeks between calls. I continue to ignore them but like Paulmergel said, I did talk to them at first so I figured that is why they stilll call me. It is frustrating!!

I can actually say that I haven't gotten any calls from them for a couple weeks now. I'm not holding my breath that they have stopped - just moved onto someone else for a bit.

they are the same as united law enforecement, etc. i get "officer michael smith". transferring to any police will not work, i work for the sheriff's department but he still says the sheriffs are after me. it is almost like he is a machine, he keeps saying the same thing over and over and does not comprehend anything i say (could be the language barrier).
he calls my work phone a lot.. maybe once every other month he will go on a tangent and call it several times in one day, its horrible.

They are representing themselves as being from TJF Corporation out of Manhattan, NY - and claim to be a collections agency. The caller says he is an "officer", although upon further scrutiny it is claimed he is a "private investigator".

Very suspicious tactics - most seem to be in violations of the Debt Collections Act. I would be cautious about interacting with this bunch. Definitely - no money until they prove the debt and can provide a good accounting of who they are, where they're at, etc. Otherwise - report 'em to the FTC...

i doubt anyone owes them money.. i know i personally never had a loan with the company he mentioned (i have perfect records of the loans i took). i have a feeling i applied and was denied a loan from them, in other words they set up a webpage offering loans for the pure reason of stealing people's information.

I got two calls yesterday again. Both went to answering machine as I was not home. Has anyone ever got them to stop? They were down to calling about once per month but now they are calling about once a week. Has anyone had any luck getting them to stop?

Not sure if this is the same group or not. I was getting tons of calls froM "United States Crime Suspect Department" (do a search for them on this site - 4 page thread detailing my saga). Thick Indian accents, wanting me to pay $400 on a PDL deposited to an account I'd never even had. I too got the threats of jail time, "sheriff coming to pick you up in 20 minutes" etc. I filed complaints with every agency imaginable, to no avail. I ignored their calls as much as possible. When they would get me on the phone, I'd just say "Uh huh" until they got done talking, and then I'd tell them "GO ahead." They'd ask if I was refusing to pay, and I'd just say "Yep. Good luck." Then they'd say "Someone will come to arrest you in 20 miutes" and hang up. They did this maybe 5 times, then the calls stopped completely. I think they finally realized I wasn't a sucker who was going to get scared and pay them off.

pmburk, it seems like the same creeps.. they did the same to me, but it did not end after five calls. not to scare you but they often come back.. the calls will stop, in my case, for several months but keep calling back. my first call was last august or so.

Yeah, that has been my experience as well. They called me for a while in November, then it stopped. Started again mid-December, then mid-February or so. It would stop, then start again. It hasn't happened in at least a month. If they call again, I will stick to my plan of telling them I refuse to pay. That seems to shut them up and stop the calls more quickly than anything else.

i agree i like when they say good luck. lol i am not scared of them but they are so annoying! i am sure people fall for it and give them money, which does make me sad but i do not see how anyone could even take them seriously!!

I have been getting calls about once a week. This week they have called on 3 different days. I am typically not here so they go the answering machine. I have not called them back. Does anyone here call them back? I have been told before to ignore them but they are not going away. This started about last July. At first they called several times a day, then it went to once a month and now to one or two times a week. Do you always call them back?

Tweety, are you still getting the calls? I have gotten three calls this week but have not called them back.

I tried to get them to quit calling my work number and all they say is that they cannot because I put it on the application as a good number to call. Then I refer to the State of Ohio law that says if I request to have my work number removed they have to and they claim they still can call because they know nothing about that law.

I also have them call from "local" numbers. I have been told that they buy these numbers to trick people into answering. I saw on another post that one of them actually used the local sheriffs office.

I have ignored them for now and no one has come to pick me up and haul me away even though their last message ended in "I cannot know what will happen to you if you do not return this call so God Bless".

I will admit the first call was scary and I did not know what to do and someone referred me to this site. Now I know they are just a scam. I have in writing from every pdl that I have borrowed from that my account has been closed. Strangely when I tell these people this they seem to back off.

i do not think they used the sheriff's phone (you might have confused it with my post, when they were stupid enough to actually call the sheriffs office, but it still didn't stop them).
they do not scare me but the calls are annoying, they only stop for a bit

They have called several times already this morning. I do not owe these people any money but they will not go away! Are you guys having any luck stopping them? I am ignoring them as I have read on here is the best thing but it is sure not stopping them. This started about last August, then quit for a few months, then started up about once a month and now everyday.

I just got another call today. I was hopeful they were stopping as I only got one call last week. Today it was the same old thing ... they asked for me or my attorney of record and ended the call with they wished me luck. I have been ignoring them as I read on here is the best thing to do. But, they will not go away. I have never had a loan with the people they are talking about. What is everyone doing to deal with these guys when they will not go away?? Ignoring is not working.

If you have to answer the phone then hang up as soon as they say who they are.
Hearing the dial tone is going to get though eventually.
Don't speak with them at all.

Most of the time I am not home when they call so it goes to the answering machine. I do not call them back and do not have a chance to hang up since I am not home when they call. So, my plan is not to return the call. Do you think this is okay??

Yep. Just ignore them. As soon as you hear it is them on the message hit delete!

Do not call them back!!!!?? They will eventually get tired of wasting their dime calling if you completely ignore them.

The thing is they have been calling off and on for six months now. The past few weeks they have stepped it up and are calling more frequently. It seems they never really go away.

i recieved a letter from the FTC concerning them. They said to report them to the FBI and my state's attorney general's office. I did report to both and i know my attorney general's office is pretty useless, they do not even read complaints, they just forward them automatically to the FTC.

They have called already 3 times this morning. I was not here and hey did not leave message on the answering machine. Will they really go away if I ignore them? Unfortunately, my daughter answered the phone when they called the other night so she handed the phone to me. I am thinking now the calls will keep up for awhile.

i tried to ignore them and it just made it worse for me.. i have no idea how to get them to stop forever..

You should consider changing your phone number if it really bother you. Just a suggestion.

i changed my home and cell but my main problem is them calling my work :(

How did it make it worse by you ignoring them?? Sorry to hear you have had this too. It is really stressful. Can you ignore their calls at work?

Can you have someone tell them you no longer work there?

For me, it is true. I do not work there anymore but they still call there. Mostly they call me at home I think.

we tried the i do not work there and he keeps calling.
if i ignore him, hang up on him, etc he will keep calling me back.

Wel, with me. I truly do not work there anymore. I know they called my old place of employment once but do not know if they called after that or not. I am embarrassed to think of what they may have told them by now.

They have called 4 times today .... will they ever go away?aargh!!!

It is Sunday morning and they have already called again! I have not had them call on Sundays before. They have really stepped it up this week. They are calling 4 or 5 times per day. bea2ls how are you doing? I do not want to change my number as I am looking for jobs and my home number is the one I have given to potential employers.

Hey, I have been contacted by a company called CCR and Associates and they threatened me with criminal charges of internet fraud and etc if I didn't pay a loan of $200 but they were charging me $700. I live in North Carolina and the orginial loan was with Summit Group. I have already paid these people $350 but I haven't paid them anymore and I stopped them from drafting my account for any more. I just want to know if they can legally threaten people like that?

They can't threaten you, although that won't stop them from trying. Sounds like they are an illegal collector trying to collect on an illegal loan...I would ignore the calls and eventually they will stop

i am pretty sure these loans are prohibited in north carolina (please someone correct me if i am wrong) so i agree with dawnlango

I just received a call from a 646-289-8346 saying that I owed $4,000 to a company called BMG. They said I had to make payment arrangements or else the matter would have to be settled inside court. They said I recieved a $400 loan from this BMG company. I said okay and took down all of their information- company name Financial Crimes Department.
They said I had commited fraud and theft by check and they were not nice at all. Any how I got them to hang up after I told them that I would fax over my credit card infomation to ake care of the matter. Once I hung up I googled BMG, got their number and called them. They said they did not have my name listed on their records nor do they give out $400.00 loans. She also said that they had a few calls about these people and to not do what they are asking. She said they are not in any way connected with them. I am waiting for them to call me back so that I can give them a piece of mind. They had me soooo scared it is rediculous.

MGHIP, should be interesting to hear what they say when they find out you went to the trouble to contact BMG as to whether or not you actually owed a loan!

I have recieved the same phone calls, I have reported them to the ftc, and bbb after they called me on friday, I told them to send me a validation of the debt, Dexter the attorney [LOL} said he was going to call back and speak with my manager Monday and tell her my buisness. They are scum!!!

These people are complete fraud's quit talking to them because once they get a live person they call back and call back and call back. They aren't bill collectors they are scam artists DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. YOU DO NOT OWE THEM MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently getting these phone calls. I do not know how to get them to stop or how they got my information. They keep calling from all kinds of different numbers and if it hadn't been for my mother in law finding these posts on the internet i would've sent these people money. Please can you tell what my choices are or point me in the direction of someone who can. I want these people to be put behind bars. and also is there anyway for me to stop these calls??

I have received a number of these calls. Heavy Indian accents, identify themselves as "Officer..." (names used were John White and John Hensley). When I asked for their mailing address, I was told "I am not your servant. You have committed a crime." It would be laughable if it wasn't for them calling my cell AND work number, and that they seem to have my mailing address, which is scary. I am filing reports w. Atty General & FTC, but who knows what will come of it...
