Received a text from this number

It was difficult to understand the guy calling from 206-203-7071 because English was not his primary language so I will give you the information I was able to obtain from a phone message he left on my friend's answering machine. It sounded like his name was "Jeffrey Stewart", he said he was "calling from law firm" and said to, "Make sure you give me a call back. This is attorney Jeffrey Stewart."

This****hole called me, and didn't say anything at all. Then he said goodbye. I almost **** myself.

Caller says they are an Officer from the I.R.S. and that they are going to Issue an arrest warrent for me if I do not follow their instructions. I told them to go "F" themself. I then contacted the F.B.I. telephone fraud division and made a report and also reported him to the Tresury Inspector General at 1-800-366-4484 Someone needs to stop jerks like these scammers because they are possibly one day going to scare some person with a bad heart into having a heart attack.

He will call private, unknown, and unavailable he asks alitle information then he calls on another number later. One time he said he was from Microsoft then another time he told me he is from Dell he will tell you that your computer is leaking information on the internet. He said he is here to help me and he wants my private information to five the problem I told him sorry buddy I dont even have A computer LOL. The same guy keeps doing this he has A very heavy accent dont fall for anything he says!

Indian accent, threatened my son to open the computer or he would lock him out of the computer forever.

called several times about computer being infected.... scam

Spammers. Asked for credit card information and insisted that they are from MS tech support. When asked for a supervisor, the same fellow came on the phone. No computers here for them to fix.

these calls are coming in daily now for several weeks. i've asked over and over to remove me from their call list. they won't give me their name, or the name of their company. they keep stating that my computer is sending error messages and they will help correct it. I know from other spam sites that this is a telemarketer. they state they will remove my n umber but they never do. they are getting ruder and ruder now and the calls coming more often. i've made a report to the National Do Not Call Registry where my number is listed to not call. My next action is to follow through to get them fined.

These people are con artistes trying to get into your computer, talking about a Cyber attack on your computer.

We've received numerous calls from this number, leading us to a variety of false numbers and addresses. Each number leads to the same man, who continues his attempt to deceive us by giving us several different identifications and locations of "federal banks". This is a scammer.

Person called claiming to be Microsoft Tech Support. Asked if I was working on my computer now. Told him I was at work and we had an IT dept that I could let him talk to them. He immediately thanked me for my time and hung up.

Had a person who received a call from 206-203-7650 claiming to be from Microsoft and needed her to log on to her computer for further instructions to download an update. I instructed her not to do either. I advised her Microsoft does not notify anyone in that manner.

They called me on my home phone trying to make me beleive that they are a Microsoft team wanting to help me with my computer that has too many errors caused by some sort of virus that my firewall and latest Norton antvirus cannot detect and no computer technician can correct.... All They needed to correct the problem was for me to connect to the internet and give them my debbit card number since I don't have no credit card, wich of course I did NOT do!!! I replied that my internet was not functioning and I would call back... Spoke to a guy with a guirlish voice and a very strange arrabic accent, by the name of Steve Jordan on Feb. 11 2014 WHAT A SREWED UP SCAM!!!

Received a text message from [email protected] concerning cared verification. It told me that my debit card is locked and that I need to call 206-203-6758 to unlock it.

posed as comcast and tried to get me to prepay a bill for 6 months to get the next six months free total scam wish i could find his**** and get him arrested

Spam to my cell phone

I didn't reconize the number so sent this call to go directly to my voice mail...Of course they didn't leave me a message, If I want your business, I will contact you. STOP Calling me.

Probably the A.C.L.J. asking for money, but l might be wrong.

Called and I missed the call. No voicemail left, so no call back from me.

Not really a call just yet, but perhaps in the future. Left their number in response to a CL ad that I have listed in New Jersey - only this person wants to "send a check" because they are out of town and cannot pay cash, and will have "freight" company retrieve item for shipment. GEESH DO THEY EVER GIVE UP?????????

this number called me at my place of business which i can loose my job i can not recieve any call at work /and i no not no these people or have anything to do with them..

UPDATE: I took the call from them at 8 a.m. this morning and played into their game to get as much info as possible. They are reading from scripts, and if you ask them anything that goes off-script, they transfer you. I spoke to 3 people this morning: Louis Wilson, Heather Lawson and Ben Foster. In looking up Heather Lawson, I see complaints about this scam dating back to 2006!! Why can't we stop this?! This personal information should not be released when people apply for a payday loan.When I asked for an address, they gave me 42 Broadway 5th Floor NY, NY 10004, and said they are the DCA Law Firm - Department of Corporate Affairs. In actuality, there IS a DCA at this address, but it is the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs.When "Ben Foster" no longer felt like making up stories to answer my questions (such as "If this was in collections, why haven't I received a written notice within 5 days of initial contact, as per the law under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?"), he said they would go ahead and process my file and we could deal with it at the courthouse on Monday. I sweetly answered "Oh yes, let's go ahead and do that." He was a bit surprised and then asked for my attorney's info, so I said "Yes, he definitely wants to talk to you" and gave him the info. Then I told him that we were aware this is a scam, that I have already reported him to the FTC and FBI, and that all calls were being recorded. I told him to never ever call here again or he would be the one showing up at the courthouse. I hung up. No callback yet. I am sick to my stomach with what these people are doing to scared, financially-strapped people.

My mom got calls from these jerks today. They terrified her. Luckily (and yet unfortunately) she is currently working with a lawyer and looking at bankruptcy, so she called him before she sent these scammers her first payment. She had a PayDay loan some months ago, and as far as she knew all of the payments had gone through. These unconscionable cretins told her that one of the payments was put through only one time months ago and did not clear, and that they had sent an email and since she didn't respond she is now looking at $5,000, and a felony arrest tomorrow. She has enough financial troubles going on that she thought it possible this might have happened, and so she was scared. At first they had her speaking with a Louis Wilson, and when she asked to be transferred to a supervisor a Ben Foster got on the phone. (We lived in the Philippines for a few years and she is pretty certain that these particular men were Filipino, not Indian). They had the gaulle to tell her that not only did she need to fax them a letter authorizing them to deduct $500 from her account, but that she needed to ADD IN AN APOLOGY TO THEM. How dare they?! I am livid!!!After her attorney told her not to talk to them, they called and left a message on her machine. This time Ben Foster called himself an ATTORNEY from DZA or DCA Law Firm, and said that if they didn't receive a fax with her letter authorizing them to deduct $500 by 5p.m., they would take legal action. Their number comes up as Unlisted, but the fax number that they gave is 315-849-3117, and "Ben" gave his "personal" callback number as 646-543-0291. After I heard the message, it reminded me of a news show I had seen some time ago that showed situations very similar to this, so I got online and started searching. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to post their stories!!!I am reporting them to our state's Attorney General, and the FBI's and FTC's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). I am repeating this story on every complaint site that came up when I searched for this fax number (the phone number must be new because it didn't come up). I am doing this so that whenever anyone else searches for these numbers, many of these sites will pop up and relieve their fears. Please do the same. Keep listing all of the new numbers that these subhumans keep changing, and let's keep protecting each other and raising enough noise until these dirt bags are shut down permanently! They are taking advantage of scared and vulnerable people who are already in difficult financial spots.Also, I am going to call Mr. "Ben Foster" now that it is 2:30a.m. New York time (if that's where he actually is) to see if we can have a nice lonnnnnng conversation about him threatening my mom. Good morning "Mr. Foster"...

Call the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and your State Police. When they call back, tell them that you are aware they are running an extortion ring, have notified the authorities and hang up.Kudos to "Sam" for giving the most intelligent and informative posts on this scam. READ, Bookmark and use as needed:http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-631-456-4041/2I have been receiving phone calls from this group since late April / early May of 2010.  There is a good chance that they also attempted to contact me roughly two years ago before I entered into Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection, as I faintly remember hearing the same script more or less.As others have stated, the callers are difficult to understand.  Generally speaking their command of the English language is quite poor and their accents are hard to follow. At times they will get certain words or phrases mixed up.  It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that they had:a) Your SSNb) Your home addressc) Your work addressd) Your banking infoe) Names, numbers and potentially the addresses of "references"f) A complete and total lack of ethics and a basic understanding of the FDCPA.  I have personally filed reports with the following agencies, often with limited (if any) success:Local Policemy state's Attorney General's officeFTCFBISecret ServiceGenerally the local police won't be able to help much.  The callers are using a combination of prepaid cell phones and VoIP, making them difficult to trace.  Also at their disposal are various spoofing tactics being implemented to catch people off guard - meaning the number that appears on your Caller ID isn't the number that is calling you for starters.  Without gaining a subpoena for the billing information for the numbers in question, the local police won't be able to get very far.  My state's Attorney General's office couldn't offer much assistance either.  I received a form letter in the mail that my complaint was received and I would be contacted if they needed additional info.  It was more or less the same information I obtained from the FTC.  They each advised me not to give the individuals over the phone any account information or to authorize payment.  That's just common sense, though.I never got anything from the FBI, either.  There is a good chance that since I haven't suffered a monetary loss that my concerns are low on the totem pole.  I hate to say this, but that is truly the case. Unless you were in the hole for a $1,000 (or more) you aren't going to get much more than "sorry to hear about your situation, change your phone number and move on".  I seemed to get some activity from the Secret Service.  I spoke with agent Doug Zloto. (Google him, referencing threads like these plus his name and you'll find his number also)  He seemed to care a bit more than the average person, but after giving him access to my Google Voice account, there has been no further activity from him that I'm aware of.In the meantime I changed the wireless number the fraudsters had access to, they have no direct way to get a hold of me.  (Calls at work have ceased for some reason)  That in turn resulted in my "references" getting phone calls from the crooks.  Here is a word of caution for women that have been getting these calls - don't say anything and just hang up.  The callers are quite abusive towards women callers.  Why?  Possibly the culture.  If they are Indian / Pakistani, women are second class citizens there.  You will be treated like garbage.  This happened to a family member when she was trying her best to be extremely nice over the phone.  The callers currently attempt to reach me through the female family member and an unused Google Voice number that they managed to find of mine.  I keep the Google Voice number open because, well, I can't delete it yet.  So, about every day, 4-5 times a day for the last week, I get voice messages from them.  It's usually just two full messages though - the other calls are broken up with static or they are attempts to read the script until the callers then screw up.  Really, they are that adamant on getting the script 100% that they will hang up mid-sentence and call back 30 seconds later.  At this point it's a stalemate with these people.  1) While they have the lion's share of information on us, they can't really do anything with this information.  Why?  Think about it.If they were to ever take funds out of your account without authorization, it's fraud and worse (for them) it is traceable.  That's why they won't do anything with your information, contrary to threats they make.  The money from your account has to go somewhere, and either your bank or a law enforcement agency can determine where the money was routed.  As a bank customer you are protected - you'd get the stolen money back in your account after 7-10 business days and the bank would be temporarily out the funds deducted from your account while they conducted their investigation.  The bank, along with law enforcement, would track down the fraudsters and apprehend them.  The fraudsters do not want to incur the wrath of a bank, just extort money out of you.  Remember that.    Your authorization would absolve the bank from any and all liability, leaving you holding the bag.  Never give them authorization for anything - for all you know the call is recorded.  2) We have no information on them.Seriously, this has been going on at least since 2008, possibly longer than that based on some accounts. (6 years??? Holy crap!)  You would think someone would have slipped up by now.  Sadly, they haven't.  We can continue to grow our own intel on them and compile lists of aliases and phone numbers used, along with paraphrases of scripts used in order to educate other victims.  I'm actually putting together a site now in the meantime where I'll host audio files and lists of previous numbers used.  800notes.com is great, but no two calls are exactly the same.  It would be nice to have a site dedicated to the scam and how it works.So that's where I am with these calls.  I have suffered no monetary loss, though I have been harassed both at home and at work.  They threaten me with arrest and other "fun" things in order to get me convinced I have to pay them.  My friends and family have been targeted and local and federal law enforcement agencies haven't been able to put a stop to things.  So, it is what it is.  I am out a wireless phone number I had for roughly six years, which is terrible since I was using that line when looking for a new job.  Whenever I'm bored I spoof my number using Google Voice and return the calls.  I've called them the poster children for birth control, etc.  Basically a lot of nasty things that I'm sure the moderators here wouldn't appreciate me repeating - bottom line nothing nice.  I always like to close saying their parents must be real proud knowing their sons weren't man enough to get real jobs.  That usually gets a decent response.  Way I see it - they can't do anything to me. (Despite a threat yesterday that my life would be f'ed up)  They can threaten all they want but my credit is frozen and my bank information has changed.  I've changed the only number they could really access me directly on and I've instructed my employer and family to not answer the calls.  I just call and harass them now when I find a few extra seconds.  What's the worst they can do to me?  Charge me with harassment?  Nope, then they would have to identify themselves.Oh, and don't bother contacting Cashnet USA about the calls.  Their "fraud" department could honestly care less.  Their "investigation" is merely a means of buerocratic CYA.  I would even be surprised at this point if actual law enforcement is involved in any shape, way or form at this time.  There is a good chance that the information these crooks have on us was obtained from Cashnet USA - either from a database leak or from a collector that was once authorized by Cashnet to call on delinquent customers.  The other chance is they have access to Teletrack, and pulled all of our information off of there.http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-646-274-1143/3For at least the last four years, possibly longer, a group has been calling former payday loan applicants advising them that they have defrauded a bank and are now being sued for non-payment of a loan.  The callers will claim to be calling on behalf of an attorney's office (name varies), the Dept. of Law and Investigation, ACS, or other similar combinations below:United Legal Processing DivisionMidline MarketingCrime Monitoring ServicesMonetary Crime DivisionU.S. National BankAttorney General’s Office (usually in California)American Legal ServicesAffidavit Consolidation Services (ACS)You will be threatened with arrest, a costly trial and possibly worse.  In no shape, way or form can you be arrested for non-payment on a consumer debt.  Do not believe these threats, as they are without merit and cannot be carried out in the manner they allege.  Who are they?In the past when pressed by law enforcement for an address, the callers have provided the following information:David Morgan and AssociatesMorgan & AssociatesMorgan Associates954-727-84811155 Northwest 85th StreetWintergarden, Florida  33150(Address is likely invalid)The collector's MO matches a once legit collections agency called Ellis Crosby & Associates.  Here are some links on them:http://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/ellis_crosby_and_associates.htmhttp://www.budhibbs.com/collectorpages/EllisCrosbyJudgment.pdfThey have been previously fined over $1.3 million for various violations.  They have been known to use phone banks in India to make their calls, which more or less coincides with the difficult to understand accent many of us detect when we are contacted.  The last time this group went by any "official" name was back in 2008:Ellis Crosby & Associates / Douglas & Morgan Associates4494 Southside Boulevard Suite #200Jacksonville Florida 32216Phone:  800-928-3536 / (904) 928-3536(Address is likely invalid)There are NUMEROUS consumer alerts out against this group of individuals:Florida:http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/061107/met_176207561.shtmlKansas:  http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/01/ks_debt_collection.htmlColorado:  http://www.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/press/ ... lls_likely_origRhode Island:  http://www.collectionscreditrisk.com/news/rho ... -3002135-1.htmlWest Virginia:http://www.wvago.gov/internetloanscam.cfmMissouri:On July 15th, 2010 a Public Awareness Bulletin was sent out by Missouri Information Analysis Center.  "..received reports from individuals in Ohio and Illinois reference suspicious telephone calls they received. In both instances, the callers are reporting that a voicemail is received from a man, with a Middle Eastern accent, identifying himself as an officer working with the Financial Crimes Unit.  The message indicates that the reason for the call concerns a loan made by the receiver or someone in the receiver's family. The voicemail requests that a return call be made and a telephone number is provided. When a return call is made, the caller is asked to provide personal identifying information such as their date of birth and social security number.Reports indicate that the calls are frequent and persistent and that they even threaten arrest or legal action if information or money is not provided. It appears that the individuals making these calls may have access to some records connecting individuals and their relatives.  Missouri does not have a Financial Crimes Unit and all indications are that this is a fictitious agency. If you receive a similar phone call, please be advised that it is a scam and please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Missouri Information Analysis Center at 866-362-6422."Bottom line:Do not supply the callers with any additional information.  Inform them you have reported them to law enforcement and hang up.  If you haven't already, go ahead and report the calls to local law enforcement, your state's Attorney General and beyond.  Look up the local Secret Service branch's information in your area and get in contact with an agent there.  If you ever applied for a cash advance online, your information is out there.  Possible sources for the breach of your privacy are:* The scammers obtained your information from Teletrack - a reporting agency used by many cash advance lenders to determine their risk lending to you.  The service is able to tell cash advance lenders if you have existing loans with other companies, for example.  Many state laws prohibit borrowers from having more than two cash advances out at the same time.* The scammers created their own fake payday loan application site.  People looking for a cash advance went to the site and applied, thus freely providing the scammers with their information for malicious use at a later time.  * The scammers were able to get into the database(s) of cash advance lenders - probable targets being Sonic Payday and Cashnet USA.  How to protect yourself:* Inform your employer.  You are likely getting calls at home and/or at work, so make sure your employer is aware the calls are part of a scam and to not take them seriously.  Advise the callers that they are no longer allowed to call you at work.  If they continue to call, document the date and time of the calls you received.  Save voice mails left if at all possible.  * Change your number(s).  For some this may not be an option, for others a one-time number change can be done free of charge.Be advised - any references you listed on your payday loan application will be contacted.  Let those people know that this is a scam, and they can disregard.* Use Google Voice.  Google Voice is a great replacement voice mail system for just about any phone number you use.  Messages can be transcribed and voice mail recordings can be saved as mp3 files.  Pro Tip - call the scammers with a Google Voice number before turning off your old phone numbers.  Make sure when you call you identify yourself so they can start up their script.  At any point after they have your information pulled up just hang up.  They will then start religiously calling your Google Voice number.  At this point, you are free to change your regular phone number(s) and enjoy not having these people ever call you again.  (And laugh at the fact these people are basically talking to a brick wall several times a day)The scammers change their numbers frequently.  Law enforcement used to think it was because the callers ran out of minutes on their prepaid wireless accounts or they were shuttered due to fraud, but now they understand it's simply to evade detection by savvy consumers online.  With the proliferation of VoIP, it's even easier for the crooks to stay a couple of steps ahead of law enforcement.  Below is just a sampling of the 30+ numbers that have been used in recent memory.1-201-244-77221-209-349-73821-209-797-22121-212-500-08391-213-256-04081-213-995-30391-281-763-04331-347-289-39021-347-844-68171-347-844-68311-424-354-42701-516-232-89051-516-232-89351-518-212-02191-561-300-80181-561-210-41851-626-200-46461-631-456-40411-646-274-11431-646-810-86351-650-241-46041-707-401-40561-707-633-27891-708-401-05351-716-442-28241-717-862-40801-718-705-86691-760-514-01321-760-563-53841-772-318-49381-850-201-11111-858-777-19771-859-908-22811-866-860-45091-877-226-74881-888-706-74631-888-771-92491-888-785-44791-909-327-48701-831-607-92141-972-674-37531-646-918-52111-206-202-49421-206-337-79921-206-339-82181-561-318-04461-585-250-80901-347-827-09211-607-398-07251-909-233-73381-888-610-54861-585-861-99401-909-233-73381-646-416-90161-805-262-61701-661-270-67241-561-705-01401-310-807-02201-347-637-64731-951-582-48321-909-503-06821-818-579-76911-347-321-64971-206-666-36111-206-203-07121-347-875-84181-347-875-96001-206-629-93921-818-532-90071-310-853-34911-347-377-7368So can they really do anything to you?It's not a simple yes or no answer.  Logic dictates that, if they really wanted to take you for a ride and drain your bank accounts, they already would have.  So, why haven't they?  Authorization.  Why do you think you are being called so much?  Perhaps it is because they like the sound of your voice?  No, they have to have your authorization to take any form of payment from you, period.  The callers know their audience, and that audience is typically a bunch of people that have applied for payday loans in the past.  Most of those people they call couldn't afford an attorney if they wanted one, and are so used to receiving collections calls that so long as they sound like a real collector, they will likely be perceived as one.Furthermore, they don't even really want to talk to your attorney - that just sounds official and scary enough.  A real attorney would take the callers to task and write them off as two-bit con artists.  The callers need you, in writing, to authorize payment against the fictitious debt they claim you owe.  Go ahead, ask them for proof you owe the debt - more commonly known as verification of debt.  See what they say.  A phone authorization carries very little weight, so if they have something signed by you on file, you are done for - and the callers know that.  That authorization is the only thing these callers are doing by the book, and for good reason.  If they just went all willy nilly and made an ACH debit from your checking account, without your written approval, you could in turn report the transaction as fraudulent to your financial institution.  In about 7-10 business days, you would get the funds returned to your account.  Then the scammers would be up against a bank and their team of lawyers and investigators.  Bottom line:If you haven't paid the callers a dime, don't.  If you planned on paying them to shut them up, just don't.  Remember - you are not being contacted by a legally licensed, ethically owned and operated collector.  Read up on the FDCPA - http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf - and know your rights.PS--The FBI sent out a Press Release on this scam just last week:Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday LoansWashington, D.C.December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office(202) 324-3691— filed under: Press ReleaseThe Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:Notify your banking institutions.Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statementshttp://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710

credit card..interest rates... calls from all different numbers three times per week...est...

Receive constant annoying calls, "hi this is Rachel" calling about your credit card. I receive these bogus calls quite often

"Racheal" calling with yet another lower-your-credit-rate scam

Lower-your-credit-card rate scam.

Unwanted call.  Our phone is number is registered on the Missouri "No Call List".  I am unable to reach anyone when I return the call and no  message is left.

lower your interest rate credit card scam

Lower your rate BS. Who do we report these low life scum to?

This number has been calling me every morning!! I have pressed "3" twice now to be removed from their calling list yet they still keep calling. I've called this number back and was placed on hold for 16 minutes while I went down from being caller #19 all the way down to caller #2 and then it said I was caller #20 and going down again!! What the heck!?!? This is rediculous! I'm also on the do not call list.

I am daily called by this number at the same hour even though I am on the "do not call list". It always say private caller. How do I get rid of it?Thanks ahead for some good tips if you know any. :))

Received the exact same call yesterday 7/27/11 at 1:00pm . Different number 1-407-358-9999 "Florida Call". This time it came in as "UNASSIGNED" . They are definitely using a computer to set-up spoof numbers. Don't press three or comply with any "directions" that can be used to I.D. you. This entire scenario is a phishing scam to rip you off. Any legit organization will identify itself and will gladly give you a valid phone number to call back to. Furthermore they will generally ask you if your account ends in specific numbers, they will not ask for any complete number to any account. As a general rule the legit companies won't talk to an answering machine, wastes time and money because they can't talk the machine into the product or service they are pushing. Only legit companies obey the law. So turn the calls in to your Attorney Generals Office as the first step. This provides the Feds with a verifiable complaint trail with times dates and number of occurrences, as well as a state by state pattern. I've gone this route before and it works! It requires patience in gathering enough info to make the complaint solid and worth filing both for you and the A.G.'s office. Happy creep hunting.

The national pandemic of telephone terrorism perpetrated by desperate criminal collection agencies is because they are trying to terrorize people who are naive enough to answer and submit to unsolicited telephone calls or written "collection" letters that have no legitimate legal debt associated with them or any of the companies, universities, or whomever else they claim to represent. Because most "little guys" were bankrupted by the criminal Wall St/Congress/Big Oil/Big Bankers/Big Business/Military/Robber Barons, so the desperate collection agencies are attempting to collect unpaid debts from innocent people by terrorizing them into submission.Word of advice. NEVER answer any calls you don't recognize or are not expecting. Use selective call rejection service if available, or switch to an Internet-based telephone service which provides comprehensive call rejection options. If rogue calls become chronic, turn off all the ringers on all of your phones except one, and set its volume to the minimum setting. If you don't answer the call and the caller is legitimate, they will usually leave a voicemail after the first or second try. Rogue callers never leave voicemail messages because that could be used as evidence against them if it came to a lawsuit. If you receive a rogue letter in the mail warning you of some "collection" action against you, if you don't actually owe it, reply with a short letter stating that you don't owe it. Or if you do owe all or part of it, reply with something like "You claim I owe you a debt. Under §809 FDCPA, I request validation of this debt."Only give them your name as THEY have written it to you (e.g. “John Doe” not “Jonathon Q. Doe” or however you normally sign your own name), address, and the account number they report. But if you do not owe the debt (zombie debt, aged debt, mistaken or stolen identity, forgery, etc.) state that you have never done any business with them or with the (alleged) original creditor of any kind and you expect the collection agency to close the matter, stop harassing you and take any bad credit marks they've caused off of your credit rating, and furthermore, that any further contact from them must be in writing on their official business correspondence letterhead. Send your letter to them a.s.a.p., always within thirty days, first class certified mail return receipt requested. If they refuse it and you get the letter back unopened, leave it unopened and save it in your files as evidence against them should they pursue legal action against you. If they did receive it and continue to pursue action against you, let them. The judge will throw it out of court. If the rogue collection agency sells your account to another rogue collection agency just tell them the claim has been proven invalid and offer to send them a copy of your letter to the previous rogue collection agency. Warn all your friends about this rash of desperate collection agency terrorism, and how to combat it. Knowledge is power. The more you learn how to combat rogue collection agencies, "lower your credit" scammers, back-taxes scammers, phishing scammers, and other criminal flimflammers, the more you will learn how easy it is to do.Above all, keep a record of everything, of every rogue call w/ caller ID information displayed including time and day of each call. Maintain a complete file on any snail-mailed intimidation from rogue collection agencies, including copies of all correspondences and postal receipts. Reporting rogue calls on sites like800notes.com, whocallsme.com, phoneowner.info is a great idea too, because many people find these sites by googling for the rogue number(s) after receiving calls from them.--Start Here:http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs3-hrs2.htmhttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=%C2%A7809+FDCPAhttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=zombie-debthttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=slander-of-credithttp://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=limited ... llection-agencyhttp://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs27-debtcoll.htmhttp://www.ehow.com/way_5849463_do-up-certified-dispute-letter.htmlhttp://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Defeat-a-Collection-Agencyhttp://hubpages.com/hub/Battling-Consumer-Debt-Collectors-Part-2-I-Do-Not-Owe-This-Debthttp://hubpages.com/hub/Sample-letters-for-disputes-to-creditors--collectors-and-credit-bureaushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDCPAhttp://www.fair-debt-collection.com/Disputing ... ute-letter.html (most say the above sample letter is too long and should be much shorter)http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/statue-limitations.htmlhttp://www.spooftel.com/  <= !Credit Report:https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jspUSPS:http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extra ... mailservice.htmhttp://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extra ... eiptservice.htmOther links:http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/02/29 ... tors/index.htmlhttp://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Defeat-a-Collection-Agencyhttp://clarkhoward.com/shownotes/category/12/103/358/http://clarkhoward.com/topics/drop_dead_letter.html--Information for filing complaints against rogue telephone calls,telephone harassment, false "bill collector" harassment, etc.,in the United States and Canada:UNITED STATESUS National Do Not Call Registry, file complaint: https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspxFederal Trade Commissionhttp://www.ftc.gov 1-877-382-4357File complaint online: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.govhttps://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=enthat is at www.ftc.govFederal Communications CommissionTelephone toll free:  1-888-225-5322http://www.fcc.gov/contacts.htmlFile complaint online: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumers.htmlhttp://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htmFCC Abandoned Calls Complaint form:http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/1088D-R.pdfemail:  [email protected] Business Bureau, Check out a Business, find owner, contact info; file a Complaint:http://www.bbb.org/us/INTERNET CRIME:File report for Internet Crime at:Internet Crime Complaint Centrehttp://www.ic3.gov/default.aspxCANADARCMP Phone bustersTelephone toll free: 1-888-495-8501Mon-Fri 8:30-5:20 pm (Eastern Time)E-mail: [email protected] Website is at: http://www.phonebusters.com  File complaint online:  https://www.recol.ca/intro.aspx?lang=en(Register with a password and then can continually file complaints)Canada National Do Not Call Registry:Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)Telephone toll free to File A Complaint: 1-866-580-3625(to withdraw a complaint is 877-249-2782)CRTC online complaints form: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/pfplin-fccoin-engthat is at  www.crtc.gc.caBetter Business Bureau, Check out a Business, find owner, contact info; file a Complaint:http://www.bbb.org/canada/

Just got a call from this number. Yup! They offered to lower my credit card rates. I pressed 1 to speak to a representative. Asked how I go about getting my number out of their database, Bob hung up on me. Reported the call to Do Not Call Registry. Called the number back only to get a message from Jennifer Leach telling me I probably called the number because of a phishing email and it's a scam. DUH!

Got 3 calls this morning. Rachael calling to lower my interest rates. I hung up and called number back and got a recording from Jennifer Leach, FTC, explaining phishing and referring you to FTC web page. Sounds like the feds are on to these low life scam artists.

Rachel has been calling me for 3 years. I have repeatedly asked not to be called any more to no avail. How do I stop these calls?

This company persists in calling repeatedly - ostensibly to offer a program to reduce interest rates to current credit card holders. Options are offered to  #3) "discontinue received calls , or #1) "speak to a representative".As option #3 never worked, I selected #1 yesterday and spoke to their representative, asking that he identify his organization. He did not. After determining the actual parameters of their program (which I did NOT qualify for, lacking sufficient indebtedness) - before I could ask to be removed from their incessant calling list, their agent summarily ended the conversation by hanging up on me, mid-sentence.Today, they called again: Pressing option #1, I immediately asked for a supervisor. The woman who answered asked me to "hold", then simply went away... no transfer, no return to the phone, After 10 minutes, I hung up.. but in truth, the call had probably been disconnected the minute I asked for a supervisor.AUTHORITIES NEED TO STOP THIS HARASSMENT AND SUE THIS COMPANY OUT OF EXISTENCE!

I get this call almost every day and these people are all very rude, I tried pressing 3 to stop the calls,and when that didn't work I pressed 1 and everytime I try to explaine I want them to stop calling they get rude swear and act like ****s - I wish I could find them.        from about 2 weeks ago I s****ed to play along and pretend I was interested - this part is good.the first person you talk to takesyour info and I make it sound like I have a lot of debt, then you get to a second person who confirms the info - they don't ask for personal data yet, just asking how many cards, how much money, and the banks.  So I keep it going making it sound like I really want their help.After the second person confirms the info youu get to third person who quickly asks about the info, and then seems like he is going to setup the arangments....then I tell him to go f*** himself and I was just wasting his time because they won't stop calling me.  He got so ****ed off I could hear him yelling at the person who ttransferred my callto himand then I ***g up.I was called back by the second person and I then told him what I was doing and why,Everyone shoould do tis to waste their time, it's the least we can do, and it will cost them money and they will not be able to bother as many people that way.

Me too - just a few moments ago... same number same ordeal.. i like making them sweat a bit.. if the people WORKING for them - when they try to sell me... realize they're working an illegal scam and otherwise illegal actiivty (violating the DNC registry - for which we've been on CONSISTENTLY without gaps for past 5+ yrs) they get frazzled and (HOPEFULLY) they'll quit!

Called and offered me something about a credit card. I hung up because I don't have a credit card. When I called back it was a very irritated dude who said "I didn't call you." and hung up. Seems like they are blocking their real number and somehow putting someone else's number in when they call. You can do that with android apps so I am sure they figured out how to do it for their benefit. That poor guy is probably getting screamed at by people today.

Hit 1 to speak with a representative. He stated the requirements to be eligible for a 0% interest rate and asked if I would be qualified. I asked him which on of my cards was he referring to. Line goes dead. I think I'm going to resort to a trick my old man used to pull when he would get constant wrong number calls. He kept a whistle by the phone and when it was an obnoxious wrong number out came the whistle!

DONOTCALL.GOVIf you dont report them, nothing will happen to them. Never talk to them over a phone.

Just got a call from this number and didn't answerFor some reason it went to my voice mail and when I played back the message, it was exactly as stated by other posters....press 1 to talk to a rep or 3 to no longer receive callsI never answer numbers I don't recognize....sometimes I don't even answer calls I DO recognize!

man this number has called so many times I ask to be off the list they keep calling

Got the same call for the 3rd time today.  Same deal when I answered asked my name and I said yes and he hung up.

We have $6K for you because you are not overdue on your credit card payments.

Advance Fee Scam - sent $400 in fees for a loan. Never rec'd anything except more calls for another $1,500.00.

I receive calls from this number and other numbers from the same caller offering car loans. I have asked over and over again for them to stop calling and they will call back 10 minutes later.

unknown number calling...

i got the same call from # 585-331-8326..Very similar threats from them.. I figured it was a SCAM. I could hear a lot of background noise. Sounds like he was calling from a call center, not a law firm.

The same exact thing has happened to me. He has been calling me for the past 3 days & there's always noise in the background so it's hard to understand him. Everytime he called me, I could hear my echo. He told me I had taken a loan out for $300 & that I never paid it back & that I was being sued by quick pay loans. He said I could make a settlement payment of $550 but I had to write a handwritten letter "authorizing" to charge my card & he even told me to fax him a copy of my license ! I went to my police station & had a case opened. I called the actual law firm & was told there's someone trying to rob people's money & using their law firm name ! They always call from weird or incomplete numbers ! Do not fall for this ! Call the credit bureaus & have a fraud alert put on ur social & report this to the cops ! I hope they catch him soon cuz he seems to gave all my information ! :[

Same here 921-930Accent 'trying to reach ____ ____-Yes...hung up.

i received a call from an arabic speaking man who left me a message advising that legal action was going to be taken for something i have no clue as to what he is talking about he said that he would be contacting me at home and the police would be coming to my job and home and i stated i didnt have a clue as to what he was talking about he called me a b***h because i kept telling him this and i am still confused as to waht this person was talking about i know that debt collectors do not go to this extent and the police do not have time for such nonsense when there is real crime happening I have never committed a crime in my life...

Same thing happened to me.  Confirmed my name and hung up.  Same Asian accent.

No Message

Didnot leave a message.

Received call on 5/28/2011.  They did not leave a message.

I keep getting calls from this number and they never leave a message.

Repeated calls from this number.

Have received a call from this number each night for the last week. No message is ever left. I do not answer unrecognized calls.

Got basically the same messages as ms Vaughn almost every other day....the same east-indian accents....only i knew it was a scam from the gate and didn't call back...they have numerous numbers to call you from so i just reject all the numbers and keep on trucking...so sad that they can do this and some poor person will fall into this trap and give out info that they do not have.yes they do have our SS numbers and our date of birth...but they want Money...so as long as they cant access your bank acct.then maybe we'll be ok but its just scary knowing these scum bags come here and get away with this mess....everybody needs to report this so the public will be aware. this is a ring and its huge, ive been getting call from these same east-indian accent people that goes by officer David Doyle and other names be warned that if there is a lawsuit filedagainst you it will come by certified mail not by some quack on the phone.

Said I need a lawyer.

The person called threatening to come pick me up from my house or school because of a payday loan I did not pay back. This is a scam.

I received a call from this number, (206)203-7566, and I could barely understand the man speaking. He had a heavy eastern accent.  The caller said they (didn't name the company) had a lawsuit against me for some reason.  He said that I or my representative attorney should immediately return this "time sensitive" call or suffer the consequences.  I did apply online for a title loan which was not approved and have had problems from every direction.

these idiots have been calling me off and on for almost 3 years, these are phony debt collectors who say that you owe for a payday loan and you will be arrested if you do not pay THEM! anyway they called me on 4/13/11 he said his name was benjamin her***ez and he was calling from michael tompkins law firm in seattle wa and i live in michigan.  i call the law office of michael tompkins and they are aware of the situation and these individual do not work for them.  they will continue to call for about a month to 2 months then they will stop, re-group get new names and numbers and s**** all over around mid september, and if you see any posting on this site saying that these individuals help them resolve there leagal problem and written in broken english that will be those pain in the **** scamers posting on this site. please contact the ferdral trade commission, you can even find information on the bbb site about these nutt jobs.

Repeated calls from this number.

?

Just got a missed call from this number.

I got a call from this number on 4/5/11 and they said that I owed money for a online pay day loan that I did not pay back...it is a SCAM!!! They said they were from the Law Firm of Investigation and had a judgement against me and my SSN #  he said I owed money for a online payday loan that I did not pay back. He said his name was Nathan Smith, he had a middle eastern/indian accent. He asked for the number for my attorney and I said I did not have one. He then said I needed to talk to his supervisor, he supervisor then got on the phone and said his name was Steven Ryder,and had the same eastern/indian accent and was very rude. He said I had two options to pay $775.00 today or the cops will be at my house or work place on the following Monday to serve me papers for court and that I would lose in court and have to pay them over $5000 (well guess what the Monday has came and gone and no cops showed up at my house or work). I asked Steven Ryder for information or paperwork and told him that I have not recieved anything in the mail about this and this is the first time I have heard about it, he then said that there was no paperwork and that it was all done online, I asked him why didnt I hear about this any sooner, because he said I had to make a decision at that moment on what I wanted to do. I tried to tell him that I didnt get a online payday loan ever in my life and he told me I was lying, that I got the loan, spent it and now I dont want to pay it back. I The scary thing is is that they had my address, ssn number and birthdate etc. but they did not have my bank account information. At the end of my call I told the Steven Ryder, that this was a scam, and that I will take the chance of having the cops show up at my house. After that he got really mad and was yelling at me. I told him I was going to call the FBI and report their scam he then hung up on me. and I have not heard anything from them again. Please be aware that this is a scam, do not give them your bank account information. They try to fool you and do sound very believable. I just thought that I would share my story.

Who owns the number?

This number calls me about 4 or 5 times a day. No matter what time. I am fed up. How do I get it to stop. They will never give any info other than do I want an opportunity to make extra cash

I received a call from this number saying they had a lawsuit against me for a loan. I have a loan that i make payments to loccally. I dont do anything like this outside of my city. These people are trying to scam others for money. Heavy middle east accent.

Received 2 calls from this phone number in the last 5 days.  Today's caller was telling me that I was approved for an auto loan.  I firmly and repeatedly told her to take me off of their calling list and not to call again.  I will be reporting this phone number since we are on the "do not call" list.

I received a phone call today from LLC and the fellow gave his name as Kevin Smith. Duh! His call back number was 206 203 7337. He stated a loan had been taken out in 2010 from PayDay loan and was never paid back. He also stated PayDay says it has sent 15 - 16 letters and the matter has been turned over to his law firm.I looked up the company LLC. The website itself is funny. There are no endorsements from reliable sources, however, they do offer some news. lol There was much noise in the background as we spoke. I am female and happen to have a lower toned voice. So he thought I was male and kept asking for a female (friend of mine who used my #) It is my guess they prefer to target women. I wish he would ask for the money in person! lol It would be the last time he asked anyone for $ !!!. lol I am so tempted to ask for an address so I can send the amount he requested in monopoly money. What might throw him off is if some of that toy money from the toy section in a store was sent to him. That looks a little bit more real. lolGood luck everyone.The internet has just allowed for us to be "taken" by ppl a little further away than by our local scammers here in the states.

I jous got the same message today and what a real piece of work he cuussed at me tell me he from somkind of refince co and  try to make fun of how i answerd my phone who is this guyhow can we take care of him

Called today at 5:39 pm on April 1st.   I don't even live in Seattle, I'm in southern Louisana.Lot of noise in background, told me him name and I said I don't know you and hung up.

they have started calling my job as well and my boss got on the phone and took care of it. they have been telling me for months they coming to arrest me. they are scammers and ruining all of us we have to stop them somehow.

Yep same thing has been happening to me.For 2 days a heavy Indian accent guy says his name is Ben Foster or Kevin Foster.I know Ben Foster is a actor but not Indian.Keeps telling me I'm going to be arrested for not paying on my online loan,then tonight he said to 2 legal advisors are going to pick me up in the morning to take me to court house lol.I said good I'll be waiting for them and hung up.They must think we Americans are stupid and are willing to just send our money to anyone.I'll be more than happy to go to Court House in the morning that way I can have them arrested for fraud and harrasment.

received call from this number.  When I tried to ask question he started yelling at me and hung up.  This scares me.  Do I need to worry about this person doing anything but calling me with harassing calls?

received call, did not answer, no message was left

Recieved call, no answer on the other line.

no one on line

I'm in the same boat as all of yall, it is so stressing... they are calling my job, i never thought it could be me. something has to be done to these people. they are trying to ruin our lives, and trying to distory our names... where do we go from here????

Same as everyone else.

I just got a call from this humber.  I have been harrassed repeatedly because I applied for an online loan because I needed a co-pay for a surgery.  The calls had stopped for a while and the list time I got a call was 1/1/2011.   I have been getting them every 1-2 months and they always say the same thing.  The first time I got a call I was upset, the 2nd-3rd time I was angry, now I am amused and I just collect their information,  then I started asking him off the wall questions,  I called him a liar and then I asked him if he was going to hang up and and terrorize some little old lady next and swindle her out of money.   The connection is terrible,  it sounds like a big call center.   My advice do not confirm anything,  don't give out anything and drag the call on for as long as you want to amuse yourself.   :)

I was going to add, I have a FTC complaint but I don't feel like that has helped anything, they just take my informatino and usher me off the phone in a ho-hum manner.  I called the FBI and they referred me to FTC, local police referred me to FB, the best thing is to update this site so no one gives out their information.

I have received several threatening phone calls from this number, from a man with a heavy Indian accent, who cursed at me profusely and threatened to have me arrested if I did not take care of this lawsuit against me and would be arrested immediately. He would not provide me with an address or a phone number of the "debt" that I am being sued for.

These no "engalesh" idiots left recorded Voicemail messages on my phone and misrepresented themselves as law enforcement. They claimed to be from the cybercrime unit. They are criminals do not call them back if they leave you a message. Call the federal trade commission, fbi, or fcc.

It was a debt collector.

Unknown number to me.

I received a very threatening phone call this morning from "Daniel Brown".  He said I should notify my employer that I would be arrested at work in the morning.  I work for a school district so this should be fun on a Saturday.  I'm glad I "Googled" this number because this joker would not answer any of my questions.  I plan to notify the Better Business Bureau as well as a friend of mine that works for the FBI.  My best friend is also an Attorney and she already has all this info.  Hopefully this "Crap" will stop or at least slow down a bit. This guy said if I gave him my debit card for $522.00  this would all go away.  Right??

Got a call from these jokers.... and said I would end up in jail...they have been trying to collect 250.00 and now I owe like 5 grand..... got another shadey call like this, but they would not give out a bench number...this one did...????? Never asked for money.....nor did I. Get any, I have statements to prove it...now trying to call back and number is no good...???!!!!

I received several calls today from the same numnber with the same story, threatening to send the police to file charges against me for an unpaid claim for a Quick Pay Day Loan, They did have alot of my personal information though. What can be done about this

just got a phone call from my husband at his job saying this same phone number called him and was threatening him that there was a court date and that he or I did not show up for it.. he mentioned my email address and mentioned my bank account.  I am not sure what this creep is up to but I'm very glad I was able to find the research here on this website to identify this same number and foreign speaking person as my husband was saying 'that's him' when I read the posts.  Told my husband to call him back and tell him the call was being reported.  He did more than that.. he called him back and told him he had connections with the attorney general's office and he was going to have the FBI in washington involved.. the man responded by cursing and hung up the phone..

phone calls with no one on line when picked up.

I have received the same phone call and am reporting them to the Attorney General's office for the State of Washington.  I also gave them when they called me the number to the FBI!    Yet another scam and another way to exhtort money from people.  Have all of the phone #'s written down.

I received a call from this number (206) 203-7293, the so called "Michael Thompkins Law Office".  I received a similar threatening call in the past from a different number but back then I actually returned the call.  And the person on the line claiming to be an attorney stated that I had taken out a loan, did not pay, etc. but would not give me the company name or any information that I asked for. He just shouted, said a federal suit would be filed, I would serve jail time, and hung up.I contacted an attorney who felt it was a scam for many reasons but also stated that no one has been arrested for being in debt since the civil war.I ignored the calls from the past number and they finally stopped.Now I'm receiving calls from this number.  All callers seem to have foreign accents, calling from what seems like a call center, and claiming to have names like Crystal and Bob.I'm glad that I googled this number and found out that yet this is another scam.

One of several phone numbers used by scam artists looking to RIP OFF SUPPLIERS OF EQUIPMENT.  They send unsolicited emails requesting price quotes for a wide variety of items (in our case, computer equipment). An order will be placed and they will provide you with a fake check, bad credit card number, phony credit application -- whatever.Do not ship any merchandise to any of these scoundrels. You will not be paid!

I usually never answer calls from unknown numbers. Boy am I sorry I did today. First a call came in from 2180022, then from 298-486-2536. A random lady said that I was going to be charged with fraud and like three other things. When I told her that I have no idea what she's talking about, she told me that she was going to transfer me to the attorney handling my case. A 'Daniel Brown', from Michael Thompkins Law, (contact number: 206-203-7293) came on the line to give me the rundown about my case. Apparently, I've borrowed money from some online payday loan company and 'whenever repayment was attempted, it was declined due to insufficient funds or whatnot. So they will be filing against me today, coming to my house tomorrow, and showing up at my job on Monday. They actually had me spooked enough to call my attorney. Thankfully, a rep at the firm gave me the good advice to research/Google this alleged firm. I've come across this site and others talking about this scam. I am seething with anger. These people must be stopped. I know folks need jobs, but this scam is ruthless and ridiculous.

thankyou sir for resolving my case thanks to michal thomkins law office

i got the same phone call from this officer hernander. this is such i scam

Call the police!!!! Report these calls to the local FBI Field office in your area and make sure if they call back you tell them so, and thell them you are recording them!

This is a SCAM, SCAM, SCAM phone call.  Saying that you owe them money and threatening you if you do not return their call, etc. etc.  Don't give them any information.  Just tell them that you are recording them and calling the FBI and local authorities and they will hang up on you.  They call from several phone numbers and keep harassing you.  One time, I called them over and over and over again until finally they said desparately "Why do you keep calling me?" and I said because you keep calling me.  They are extremely rude and annoying.

Report it immeadiatley to the FBI, your local police, call your state offices of Homeland Security and Secret Service. This attempted extortion, plain and simple. The FBI and FTC are cracking down on these idiots. SOON, they will get their due.

I have received several threatening phone calls from this number, from a man with a heavy Indian accent, who cursed at me profusely and threatened to have me arrested if I did not pay $8.00 dollars to "LLC Law Firm".  He would not provide me with an address or a phone number. I got the number from my restricted caller ID retrieval at my place of employment.  I spoke with the FBI field office for white collar crimes and internet crime center and was informed that this is a scam from an on line application.

I had a similar experience very shady as I never took out such a loan and have the bank statement to prove it.

I received a message from "Officer Hernandez" from the Dept. of Crime and Investigations" stating I must call him back immediately because his "legal" officer will be at my home on Friday to escort me to court.  The number calling me is located in Seattle, WA and I reside in Ohio.

Called threating leagal action and that they would send me to jail for a loan that was not paid...nor taken out.  They say the loan company they represent was Quick Pay, but could not give a specific date of the loan or the amount.  Said they had tried to collect and contact me via e-mail (funny I thought collections would come through USPS).  Called me twice and have a post on reportthecall.com.

received several  calls from this number. I got one today and the man said he was a supervisor with an auto finance company. I told him if he was a supervisor, he'd know I've told them 6 times already to take me off their list. He replied. "I'm the CEO b***h!" I asked him to repeat himself. "I'm the CEO b***h. I can buy and sell you with the flip of a switch." When I objected to his BS, he told me "it's on. you f*ck with me? I have your social security number. I'm going to ruin you and your family."

This caller is claiming I have a lawsuit against me and if I do not call back that I will be arrested immediately. When I called to inquire about the debt, the man became angry with me that I was even asking questions. I promptly disconnected the call. The "agent" then called me back 7 times in a row yelling at me. He had a strong foreign accent. I received a voicemail stating "you are a f***ing a**, i am going to kill, you call this scam you motherf***er, I am a man and will f*** you. Doesn’t your husband f*** you well?  Goodbye and f*** off”

fraud business

wow they called me asweel, how in the world did they get my number!!!!!!!!!!!!

They just called me a second time and they were on the phone laughing, I said stop calling me. So I used my cell and sent a text saying stop calling me, so I guess they are using a cell to make there calls, because if it wasn't I would've got a message saying not a # supporting msgs. Try texting them at all hours and see how they like it...lol.

Got one

Received a phone call from this number. The caller did not leave any message.

These damn people called me 15 times today, the first time I actually answered it they hung up on me. I called them back and got a recording telling me to leave a message, so I told them to stop calling my house. They called back 3 more times after that asking for my husband and I told them to stop calling my house and I was then hung up on. This number has been calling me 10-15 times a day for two weeks now.

this is quite annoying, saying I'm preapproved for an auto loan!  I never applied for one...fools!  STOP CALLING!

This # appears on my caller id 8-20 times per day.  HOW DO I STOP THIS?  They don't answer when I answer or call back...Thanx.

Just now- Asked for me by name and hung up.

This number called my work phone yesterday - asked for me by name, twice and then hung up.

My business has received a call every day about 3-5 times a day. Also comes from 921-930 & 000123456 on caller ID and is the same person for a specific individual that doesn't work here. He has said he's trying to deliver a FEDx package. We've told him to return it, but he says he can't because the sender paid to have it sent. That's not true for FEDx as you know.

Got a call today from this as well.. asked for my name and told me they would call back.

got a call, asked for me by name and hung-up

Just called, 3:55PM Mountain Time.  Asked for me, I said, "Speaking", and she (Indian) hung up.

Had the same.  Asked for me by name and hung up.

Received 3 calls in two days from this number with no message left. I finally answered a call, and the man that was on the line asked for me by name and said he was from FedEx. He said to hold on and disconnected the call.

He called and hung up once I confirmed my name. ???  He had a Spanish accent.

Caller knew my first and last name and ask if I were the consultant. Explained that my life long career was as an electrical engineer. Caller said 'No he wanted the consultant" and hung up.

Keep getting calls from this company.  The caller's voice is muffled but sounds like they are financing cars and wanting my information.  I hung up.

Every one be carefull....it's a SCAM this guy is trying to get $$$ out of you! gives out different names but has the same accent can't hide that. Dont give any personal info about yourself! Tell him/them "YOU GOT THE WRONG #!"

they need to stop callng my cel phone. i told them they have the wrong number.

i have received a call from this number and i would like for them to quit callingmy home i have a small child and i they need to stop harassing people

Got a call from 206-2036429 and when I answered the guy hung up. Looks like Indian accent.

received a call from 206-203-6429 and hung up when i answered.

Foreign accent called asked to speak to jack and then hung up.

Same dael , calls asks for "Jake" and then hangs up- Indian or paki accent.

Same as all of the above, at what point does someone take further action to verify who these people are?

These people have been calling me for over a year now.  They call my work as well.  One of my co-workers messes with them by asking for the name of their company, who owns it, who's the attorney for the company, what's their EIN, etc.  When I get the calls, I tell them to send me the paperwork - which I get the reply "F&^% You!".  Yesterday, I was told I am a "professional beggar" and I was going to be arrested at my job TODAY at 11am.  I didn't realize that there is such a charge as "professional beggar".  I requested for "fuzzy handcuffs" since I didn't want my wrists to get hurt.  A couple of weeks ago, I was threaten that I was going to be "capped like that congresswoman in Arizona".  I've been threatened with rape, getting shot, and getting arrested.  They have threatened to harm my family - kidnap them, harm them, or kill them.  I tell them that all of my family is DEAD...which, unfortunately, is true.  These people are nothing more than scammers - just keep reporting them to your local police, FBI, FTC, and attorney generals office.

The same guy is sometimes Sam Parker this year. Nobody in Pakistan has any names like this guy claims to be. Same scam different names and phone numbers over the years and somehow this guy is not in prison.

Sometimes this same thief with the East Indian or Pakistani accent changes his name to Sam Parker or a thousand other names that can't be matching his accent and says the same lies to steal money from you. He has been doing it for years and calls at work or anywhere else at 6 AM and all kinds of other times. The Federal Trade Commision can be called but we need to get his address to get this scumbag into prison.

Called and asked for me by name and then hung-up when I replied

You didn't scare them. I got scammed by the 347 people and now this David Brown is calling leaving threatening messages. I'll call back, now I know what to say. You tell them to mail you something in writing and you will be glad to pay it. They have no paperwork so that ends it. Also when they call your job, report them for telephone harrassment.

I am getting threats that if I don't pay the 3 accounts owing there will be a lawsuit. The man uses an American name like Jack Brown, but American or not, he has a very distinct foreign accent. I returned the call(s) multiple times and requested an email be sent to me so I could verify the information. They keep telling me to check my email, sign the payment authorization form, and stop a lawsuit that will only be more expensive.  THEY NEVER SENT THE FORM. They argue that I am just trying to avoid paying and I respond back that I cannot pay what I do not know of, and that I would gladly take care of any open accounts if I was give the requested information.  THEY WILL NOT GIVE IT TO ME....they are an ACCOUNT SCAM!!!!

Someone checked into it for me and they said the office is in New York like an apartment complex..they googled it and the phone number is in washington...explain that!

ya i called them back as well, and they told me the address was in brooklyn,ny. When i googled mapped it , it gave me some crappy apt place as well..plus the first giveaway that they are scammers is they use names like David Brown or Terry smith and so on, what heavily accented middle eastern people have those names anyways.

I get calls from them on my cell and at work...they were told not to call me at work and they still do and don't say anything...they just sit there.  Also the name of "David Brown"...sorry anyone with his accent would not have a common name as David Brown!! I have a guy working on this that is trying to stop these scammers...they got $450 from me one time and this guy i'm talking to about it is working on getting my money back. I thought it was a debt so I paid!! Stupid me!!  This David Brown when he leaves a message tells me that if I don't call him back immediately he will press charges and all he can say is he wishes me the best of luck if I don't call them back! They said they are a law firm by the name of LLC...this guy working on my case said there is no such firm called that.

this guy sounds like a foreigner. Something about three lawsuits. I think someone must have bought useless paper of an old account of mine for pennies on the dollar. And now they're attempting to clean the f*** up! F*** 'em if they can't take a joke!

I got the same call the last two days from a david brown as well, called me at exactly 8am this morning. It was david brown giving me my last warning and that my case was time sensitive. So, i talked to him and he keep telling me i had these 3 major charges filed against me(whatever) and that one of them was check fraud whatever. He gave me some fake email address that i had supposedly got a cash advance from. I kept asking him what my info was and he just kept telling me he knows everything thing, and they have everything. I just hung up but ya these guys really need to stop, someone should sue their a**es.

i just left a reply up, but called them back and got there street address which was a fake of course http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&sugexp=ldym ... F-8&sa=N&tab=wl theres the link or u can google map 1451 Herkimer St                                                                Brooklyn, ny 11233   and get a pic of there fake a** company, if thats where they r really located

Please read the site below... and give out no personal info...http://getoutofdebt.org/14950/frightening-cal ... oans-its-a-scam

I received another call today, Who are these idots???  I hung up because the call comes thru as unknown.  I pushed the end button on my phone.  Then he told me it was urgent, I said to myself sure it is.  Then this Smith guys says it is of urgent matter, Sounds like all of us have the same thing in common, bothering us and harrassing us. Sorry my spelling is very good, but I am sure you understand.  Thanks for listening.  I wish i knew who to call.

Got a call from this scam business from a "David Brown", who says if i dont call them back or dont respond to them that they are pressing charges on me. I dont know who they are, but i talked to them at length and ask them what info they had on me and i they could repeat was everything..i just want to know where they are located cuz that kept giving me fake addresses..and here are other peeps w/ the same probs......http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/2062035506#p185088755443690851

Called - Indian accent - asked for me by name and hung up

Who owns this number?

Called and left no message.

I DO NOT KNOW WHT THE GUY IS TALKIN ABOUT.

I got it too and it sounds just like the criminals who ran this scam on me repeatedly over the years and keep doing it ----will someone from the Att Gen's office please go after these criminals????!!!

Also.  Who can tell us what we need to say about them when they threaten.???

Someone should call the Federal Trade Commission too and report them. Next time they call me I will just ask for the exact address of their office because the Attourney General wants to know where they are, and that they will be put in jail. These crooks call people at work and everywhere else and must be put out of the scam business.

Oh I've had the threats also.  I really like it when they say if i don't call them back they wish me the best of luck cause i'm gonna need it. I called a guy that is working on another scam that got 450 out of me and they are checking into this number also.  Said it sounds like the same people just a different name and number.  Who has the name "David Brown" and has the foreign accent like they have!! Is that the name you guys are getting from this company also?

I tried to fill out the online form from the Federal Trade Commission but it didn't work. I may call their number and go throught the pain of being on hold an hour since it seems worth it in the long run. That number is 1-877-382-4357. If these people robbed you before we all need to do something to run them out of business and into jail.

they are calling with my last four degits of my social security number saying there is a law suit against me and theres three charges.The man sounds foriegn and hes trying to tell me that if i dont call him i will find myself locked behind the bars. Im sorry but thats not the way the system works

I don't know who they are or what they want.  Just say they are a law firm.  I am so sick of these people calling me I told them they had the wrong number and hung up. This has been going on now for months.

i just got the same message like 3 minutes ago...

Just got a call from this number. He asked for me by my nickname. When I replied he hung up and did not call back.

Got a call from someone with what sounded like an Indian accent. The CID only said Seattle, WA, and he asked for someone who never worked at our company. As soon as I told him that the person doesn't work here, he immediately hung up.

We received a call from this number yesterday.

Spoof callers trying to scare u to pay for some alleged criminal precidings and its bs! I talk to local police and they said and I quote "if u had a warrant or were under any type of investigation, you definitely would not be receiving a courtesy call of whatever the act is, we would be knocking on your door/ serving you a warrant" tell them u would like to stay out of jail and all that s**t, get their information and contact the appropriate law enforcement agency. They really despise anyone impersonating law enforcement. I had this happen and was freaked out about it a few months back, they really need to be taken down. Who knows how many people they freaked out into paying. And its probably all going to some drug/terrorist s**t!

I keep getting calls from this number and they never leave a voice mail message.  Does anyone know who they are?

who's calling me??????

Folks, it would help a great deal if you post email headers like the first poster delengineering did. You can tell (most of the time) whether it's a scam or not simply by examining headers.

I said mail it !and then just playing around I told him that I had a pre paid debit card for him  - He got mad and said I needed a bank account to ensure that I get - Total Scam !!!! hahahah - these scammers are really investing money into these scams ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a call back number and everything ! Wow

Same as everybody else and when I told him I work for the I.r.s he got real mad. I think they could be terrorists. Lmao

My roommate got the same call, same spiel, He said 'We want to make sure we are giving the money to the right person, that is why we need Your credit card' how much sense does this make? They must think that Americans are Naive and Gullible; Oh yeah, they are! Fortunately, my Roomie told them off and hung up! Never give any personal financial information to an unsolicited caller! It is that  easy.

Asking about and asked if wanted a payday loan

Anybody getting calls from this number?

Missed a call

Someone called me with a strong accent stating that I was approved for a grant. The gave me a number of ways to retrieve the funds as far as a credit card and direct deposit. When I changed my mind from direct deposit to another method he wanted to get my account info really bad. They state that they are calling from a U.S. Government Grant Department. They are lying!!!!!!!!! I asked if they could send in the form of a check. They wouldn't. Be very alarmed.....this is a scam.

Got a call from an Indian guy pretending to be a 'senior crime investigator', named Oscar Thompson. I already know that there's a scam going around with these guys, trying to threaten you and claim you'll be arrested, blah blah blah. They called eight times, same guy, but they're spoofing numbers. They show up as international numbers from places like Morocco, Croatia, etc. SCAMMERS!! Don't talk to them!

This man spoke with an African Accent and tried to access my account information claimin i was approved for a government grant and that i had to pay a 99.00 security fee  to get approved for a $5,000.00 grant a scheme for sure. Dont be fooled.

Anyone else getting calls from this number?

We have received this email through our website. Have tried gentle brush off but he persists::HelloThis is Frank and I will like to order (shifters).Do get back to me with the types and cost for the ones you do carry and let me know if there is an extra cost when using visa or master Card.Kindly get back to me with your name Are you the sales manager or the Owner?Regards....Frank MayerFrank MayerFrank & Brother Venture"s33-45 94st apt.6hJackson Heights,New York [email protected]

I keep getting calls from this number.

I received threating calls from Paywerx 530 309 0786 Mick Dowells stating that I owed $400.00 for PayLoans - I've never stepped inside a Payloans before.   But they could make a deal for $200.00 I could be taken off the list.   I did a lot of research and called the Credit Bureau - their advice was to pay so they wouldn't put me in collections.   So I paid it.....I was supposed to get a letter relieving me of any more hassles never got it.   Now I just got another call on my cell phone stating that he was from the State Attorney's office =- asking me for my attorney because he was sending the Police to pick me up and I would be arrested in 25 minutes.  I told him I was scammed once - and he wasn't getting anymore money out of me.   Yes it is a very heavy Indian accent.   Fool me once ok, Fool me twice shame on me.

I received the same call twice on my cell phone and once at work from James Brown w/ Paywerx 206-203-7337, threatning me that i was going to jail and they would come to my home and business.  I told him to quite calling as i know this is a scam.  Then he got really rude and was using abusive language to me.  I really am tired of these phone calls and wish they would stop.

Boy, I wish they'd call me..  My middle name is DICE CLAY

I received a call from an Eric Thompson. His call came in on a 212 area code, but he left a different number - 206.203.7337. I questioned him about this and he got a little frazzled. The weird thing was the caller id number came up as 212.600.81738 There is an extra number in there. I have never seen that.

I keep receiving a call from a James Brown w/ PAYWERX (206) 203-7337 and he says I'm going to lose my job, and will be going to jail if I don't pay them - I told him I was going to be calling the police for I paid this bill within the time limit and he won't stop calling me.  I am ready to explode for he is wasting my precious work hours...I asked him to please bring the police on and send me to jail for they are not getting a dime of my money.

He listed his name as Bishop Kelly Smith and this phone number and wants to buy 15 of our lodge tables.  I am assuming it is a scam, but, he hasn't given a credit card number yet.

another of these 206 numbers just called and they got called blocked..number reads unassigned..another one called yesterday.it also said unassigned 206-600-5964, 206-339-1325, 206-338-5854.206-309-0090,206-339-8455,206-600-4701  I have been keeping record for the law suit. not my area code and they are getting reportedmore  also 206-339-8455, 206-397-1034, 206-202-2805, 206-203-2093

I recieved a call from a guy named Alex Smith with a very heavy India accent..his phone number came up unavailable. He left a message and I could barely understand him.He said he was from a legay dept of Payworks LLC. I have never heard of Payworks LLC. He also called a freind of mine. I dont whaere these people got my name or information or my friends phone number. It makes me kind of leary.  Has anyone ever heard of this or where they get ur information from?

When I answer, they hang up.

To Heather & other victims of this nonsense-No worries besides your nerves being racked over this person calling you at work. They are not real it is a scam and I suggest that you get as much documentation from these message boards and your call records as soon as possible and go file an identity theft / fraud report with your local Police Department .This is to protect you should you need it down the road. File a complaint at with the FTC as well and get your credit report and check it good . At this point there needs to be some damage control, change your numbers : phone # bank Account # SSN # if you have too ....yes it is that serious.This will not stop anytime soon and even if it does they will contact you a month or too later. I am in the process of doing all these things just know that you are not alone. They have your info and sell it to other debt collection scammers as well. Marval & Associates is another one too Steve Grevis.........This David Cooper called my job 4 times this morning and another 4 times this afternoon. I am all done researching this issue & I am going to the police as soon as I get off of work this is crazy and they have been doing this for over a year and a half now !

I got a message as below and it's very weird because the laptop table can't be sold to the US. If he's a professional buyer, he should know this.

By the way, the email address he uses is "Gleen Johnson" also he copied to [email protected]. After checking the latter website, you see- this is a website for novelties. So you see it's ver weird. The email address should not exist at all. Or maybe he gets the email somewhat so have people realize that they're together. this is 10000% fraud and cheat with no brains !

We've received e-mails of this nature from a number of individuals that want to buy stock cases using a charge card. (Never a corporate web address, always Yahoo, Hotmail, G-Mail, etc)Invariably, they want you to ship offshore using their freight forwarder, and simply add the shipping costs to their charge card purchase.The best part is that their freight forwarder only accepts money orders as payment, and the charge card accounts are fraudulent.End result, they end up with your product and your money. Best to simply report the card numbers to the respective credit card company, and let their fraud department look into it.If however, you think it might be a legitimate sales opportunity, simply let them know that it's company policy to only accept wire transfer payments prior to product release.

They want to buy Commerical Fans,whats up with this company

Who is using this number?

Yep. Def a scam. Got the number in an email after applying for PA job on craigslist. Email had WAY too many typos so I've decided its a scam.

Who art thou, oh mystery number?  Why are you too shy to leave a message?  If your call is that important, then leave a message.  Otherwise, don't bother calling again solicitor scum!

Called my cell phone.

I too received an e-mail including this number in response to a Legal Assistant job posting on Craigslist.The number is based in Seattle, WA. The guy claims to be a lawyer, but the Email had so many mis-spellings and grammatical errors, I find it unlikely. He also wanted to start work immediately w/o even meeting. Looks like a scam to me. Anyone else have this experience? Please post.

this a scam company trying to ship animals that have posted as needing to be re-homed or sold.  the animal is not real and the money you sned by western union or moneygram will be lost.  they will tell you to pay the re-homing fees thru moneygram and then the next day they will tell you the animal is being held at the airport untiltremondous insurance fees are paid thru Western Union.  There is no animal and never will be.  some of the alis's they use are Mary Trott, Pat Smith and Maris Santandler.  They are located in AZ, CA, TN and Tx.  they will also tell you thier phone is broke and that is why you cannot talk in person to the seller.

Robo-solicitation that refuses to identify in any way.  Computer or fax answers when calling to complain.

More information, the CLEC that operates that prefix (itltd.net, 206-666-4991) is International Telcom Ltd (formerly Telcom Design), publishes no contact info other than their WHOIS info, and states they have trademarks for robocalling systems, Kallback, Callback, and Faxaway.

Robo-soliciation about a "make money" scheme.

A "make money" scam using loud pre-recorded pitches.

Overly loud robo-solicitation advertising a "make money" scheme.

received an e-mail response with this # as a voice mail.  where is this #?

Call to NJ land line; dion't pick up, left no message.

I missed a call from this number.

Received fax from someone claiming to be IRS and asking for personal info.

Who is the owner?

Recording, "Tired of the recession? Call blah blah...."

I got a response from a craigslist posting too and this was the number on it.... I think he is a scammer just trying to get personal info. I didn't get a phone call but he put in the email he sent to me.  that number is from the state of Washington, Im in California...  What I suggest is to read the "AVOID SCAMS" on craigslist    http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams   it a great way to understand the kind of scams that are out there, and always go with your gut feel... It's not worth the sale if it only a scam....  if the Item is small enough to meet the person in a public place it would be better... but if not meet them first in a public place scope them out and always have other people with you and if possible let you neighbors know you are expecting some stranger to pick-up an item from your home ..

number used in an email that comes, supposedly, from "FBI".

I did too! Just an email saying, "Is the above still for sale". That was the number he gave as a contact. I am glad I searched it out!

It is definitely a bogus buyer. I just got the following email back from a Richard Butler ([email protected]):Hello I really appreciate your response to my email.I want you to  considerit sold, pls do withdraw the advert from craigslist to avoiddisturbance.I want you to know that i will be paying via bankCertifield check .I will you to provide me with the following.information to facilitate the mailing of the check to you .1.....Full name to write on the check2.....Full Physical address to post the check3.....City, State and Zip Code4.....Home & Cell Phone to contact you*** Note that the payment will be shipped to your address via UPS NEXTDAY SERVICE and I will like you to know that you will not beresponsible for shipping i will have my mover come over as soon as youhave cashed the check** Thank

Wow, Check this out. It looks like onld Strahan is at it again. Saw an ad in the local Atlanta Paper for a 2004 Harley Ultra listed for $5500 which has a street value of about 15K. This guy is slick and the following is a transcript of a some e-mail traffic we have had.-----Original Message-----From: John Strahan [mailto:[email protected]]Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 6:45 AMTo: Subject: RE: 2004 Ultar ClassicHi there Art, Thank you for your interest in my bike.  My 2004 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic FLHTCUI is still available. The bike is in excellent condition, has no scratches, dents or hidden defects. Has an accident free history.It is still registered in the States and has a clear title. I am the first and only owner.I have recently moved to Edmonton, Canada to start a new business with my brother and I brought the bike here too.As you probably noticed, the price is rather low: $5,500. Shipping and handling fees to US will be $600, and i am  willing to pay half so the final price is $5,800 and the bike will be delivered to your address.Genuine reason for sale: unfortunately a divorce is forcing me to sell it under market value.Due to amount involved and the fact we can't deal in person, I only accept third party mediator.For more pictures please visit my gallery:http://picasaweb.google.com/strahan331/Harley?feat=directlinkPlease reply ONLY if you are a serious buyer and you have the funds ready.All the best! JohnWhen I told him that I wanted to see the bike and hand him cash in person, this is what he sent me;Hi Art,The sale will be conducted through a third party, Yahoo Finance. You will send the money to Yahoo Finance and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the bike, and once you receive it and you have 7 days for inspection. If you are satisfied with the bike and decide to keep it you must inform Yahoo Finance about this and they will release the money to me. If the bike is not as described or if you find any problems with it (I'm sure this is not the case because it's a state of art looking and working bike) and decide not to keep it, Yahoo Finance will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back of the bike will be my concern. I think this is fair for both of us.I will ship the bike from here with DTD transport, door to door service and will arrive in 3-5 days depending on location. The bike will be delivered directly to your address. I will use DTD transport to ship the bike because I have worked with them and they are very fast and secure.There will not be any custom fees due the fact the bike is still registered in the States.You will receive from me the Title signed over to you properly and the Bill of Sale Notarized so you can register the bike in your name.If you want to proceed with the transaction please email me your full name and a shipping address so i can register our transaction with Yahoo Finance. After that they will contact you with all the details.Thank you, JohnI wish we could find this guy and get the the authorities after him

HOPEFULLY THEY WILL CATCH THESE PEOPLE.

my call went exactly as the ones listed abouve.  wanting to pay for the item with paypal and pay shipping.  etc.  so glad i found this site

So I just posted my boyfriend's camera on Craigslist Kansas City, MO & got this message this morning from email address Jane Lorrell [email protected]:** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY --- AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY** Avoid:  wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping** More Info:  http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.htmlhi, how are you,i will like to know if you still have the listed item forsale i will like to buy and pay for it now i will be offering you $450for this item and i will also add the shipping cost of $20 withit...but i will be paying you for this via paypal...or AlertPay...soif interested in the deal kindly send me a money request or send meyour full name and address so i can proceed with the payment now.thanks and God bless you..you can reach via this number (206-203-4593).JANE.-------------------------------------------------------------------------I sent a request for the payment on paypal not before checking to see if this was a scam, so I'm hoping if it is fake paypal will catch it, thanks for others posting comments!

Hung up on me too, but when I try to call back, it doesn't even dial.

I just got a call from this number and the guy was claiming to be calling from Bell Canada and Bell Mobility.  He mentioned I could get a free Samsung headset valued at $200 and 500 free text messages.  I asked him which person was he calling in the house?  He said he only had the last name for "security purposes".  I then asked for a number to call him back on and he said he'll have someone call me back.  I told him off and warned him not to call me ever again as it's a scam!

Got a phone call from this number. The caller left no message.

They called and left a recorded message. It was Candace, from Med Recall News, and that this wasn't a sales call, but to tell me that if I or anyone I know has died or been seriously injured due to any type of birth control, that I should call them back. I do not take the pills listed and have no idea where they got the number since I am on the DNC list.The number comes up as "Unassigned" on my Caller ID.

this guy is running ads in a Charlotte, NC paper trying to sell his Harley.  Using a out of service 866 number & giving the brother with cancer story.

SAME SITUATION on Harley Davidson 2007 Softtail for $4300. ALLEN PERRY says Brother has cancer and needs to sell bike. I am from California. Ive had 3 contacts with him, last one today (10/1/2009). DO NOT FALL FOR IT! What goes around comes around. ALLEN PERRY is due his. Thank God for google and the rest of the people who have reported Allen Perry as a fraud.

Well I had a delightful time cursing them out in Japanese. I made it sound very conversational and really pulled the guys chain mightily. I do not "play nice" with these scumbags. In fact, next call they get my covert action #1...which is a boat's freon air horn. That is always good for a laugh as well, as is just saying, "Hello...Hello?...Hello!" over and over, or dropping out words so that they think it is a bad connection. I have also answered the phone, "South Dakota States Attorney's Office, this is Phil, may I help you." Don't play nice, just yank 'em for all they are worth. Make them play your game, not vice versa.

You have all been communicating with a scam artist. Someone is using Menina's name to scam renters. Menina Fortunato is not a doctor. She is an entertainment professional.I am the REAL Menina Fortunato's webmaster and she is not trying to rent any properties. The REAL Menina is aware of this and has reported it to the police. If you have been contacted by this scam artist, please email [email protected] youWebsites 4 Entertainerswww.websites4entertainers.com

This joker is trying to run the same scam in Southern MI going by the name of Allen Perry from Paris, MO the # he is using now is 248-605-8538. Same cancer story only now his brother died. He wants to use yahoo finance, i tried going to look at the bike but he keeps giving me the run around. Looks like i got lucky..Thanks to everyone for their posts.

I AM ON THE FED DO NOT CALL LIST. HOW DID THEY GET OUR NUMBER??

Got a call on my caller ID.  No message

Recorded message directs you to a scam website

Same as above, word for word in response to an iPod touch ad. Sorry, Jane... not going to happen!

Wow, its like the 20th (lol, 8-9 times to be serious) call I get from Hydro Power Saver, they're SCAMMERS.WARNING: DO NOT FALL IN THEIR TRAP!!!I get tired of informing them that I am in the national do not call list. At first I would explain the telemarketer very patiently but now I lose my temper.The idiot today even told me to disconnect my phone line if I didnt want to get calls from people. I was so shocked!I told him to stop calling me and to give the phone to his supervisor, he asked me what was the msg I said I was sick and tired of their calls. And then he said "If youre tired of our calls stop using a phone." I told him it was for communication. Then he suggest me to own a cell phone (which I already have).Anyways, the dude was a f***ing idiot. I will go to the police station tonight. Please do the same to stop those harassing calls!

This is hilarious! I got the same e-mail from a post on craigslist. For mine she used [email protected]

Medical recall info.

Got a email.hey, i wanna know if you still have the above listed item for sale iwanna buy it for a my  boss i will be offering you $300 for the itemand i will also be paying for the shipment,so kindly send me a paymentrequest from paypal so i can make the payment asap,thanks and hope tohear back from you soon.GOD BLESS YOU.JANE(206-203-4593)

Sounds like the same guy who ran an add in an Ashland, OH newspaper. He went by the name of Allen Perry and said he was from Paris, MO. Sent me to a website that had pictures of the bike and guess what...got a virus on my computer! At least that's the only bad thing that happened to me...remember...If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Oh yeah, got the "brother has cancer" story. Hope this scumbag gets cancer for all the grief he's caused people!

she used email: [email protected],  to an ad I placed on craigslist:hey,  i wanna know if you still have the above listed item for sale iwanna buy it for a my  boss i will be offering you $2300 for the itemand i will also be paying for the shipment,so kindly send me a paymentrequest from paypal so i can make the payment asap,thanks and hope tohear back from you soon.GOD BLESS YOU.JANE(206-203-4593)

Getting MSN spam from them, not malware though since I'm running linux. Just gotta deal with these spammers I guess, at least they don't leave a link you might click on mistake.

I am getting SPIM on my MSN messenger 5-10 times a day from this scammer.

told me to go to janscashcow.com if i wanted to get money for free .

They contacted me on MSN messenger lol. If this were a real company do ytou think they would be using myspace messenger to advertise?

Left a message on my MSN even though the screen name wasn't in my list of contacts.  Left a message about doing a degree that can be finished in weeks with no work, no paper, etc.  No chance, say I.  The message went on to tell me to call them up and leave my name and number.Not going to do that obviously.

hello

This man has a strong Indian accent and it is difficult to understand him.He called our number (Canada, do not call list #) and yelling at me that we did not do something (I did not understood what)what we allegedly were supposed to do. He was very abusive.

Have recieved 4 calls a day from this number, one for the class action lawsuit (Medicine) another for "Jan's Cash Cow. Com". We're on the do not call list! All I get is an automated recording. Ridiculous! If you don't have the balls to answer your phones, don't bother us!

If you keep getting these calls and are on the no call list, call them to stop it.

Legal call center seeking potential class action plaintiffs against maker for drug avandia.  SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!

this guy called my house today and asked for my bank account information saying that my husband gave Bell Canada a deposit of 1000 that he needs to return to us he said his name was Max Stewart and that he was calling from Brampton ontario and was east Indian as the other calls. i obviously did not give him our information which made him very irate. I then called Bell canada to inform them of this and apparently they have been recieving many calls regarding this!!!!!!

I got a nearly identical response to a Craigslist ad this morning. Anytime they say they are overseas, it is almost surely a scam. If I reply at all, I just tell them to contact me when they get here as I will not rent to anyone I have not personally met first....

Just received the exact same email and phone number to a craigslisting.  Sounded like a scam.  Thanks for everyone's response to this phone number.

Thanks for your response, I am still interested in buying from you, I will like you to withdraw the advert on net cause i am buying from you now. I will be paying with a certified check If that will be OK by you.....As for the pick up i will instruct the shipping company to come for the pick-up as soon as you have your payment.

Get me this as soon as possible, thanks. 206-203-4278

called, posing as a buyer for something I was selling.  Basically long story short scammer.

just receieved the same response regarding the use of a timeshare apartment.. it just didn't seem right... so glad i googled it!!

my sister got a call from 2062035290 today and told her that hes calling from some energy company.  She said her husband deals with the bills and he can call back when he gets home.  The guy on the phone asked if she wants to have friendship with him using hindi and punjabi language so i guess he knows that shes from india. she said shes married and have kids but he kept talking about being friends and she hang up on him.

This guy just called me, and asked if "[my Mom]-sahib hai gar mein?".  In other words, he knew I understood hindi.  In english I replied that she wasn't home, and I asked who he was.  This a**hole said he was her boyfriend - that's total harassment.

T 12 Mountain View Dr.Shelton, WA 98584

Same here - first responded to craigslist ad in Colorado by emailing "still for sale" (no punctuation).  Then upon my dumb reply I get the same Engrish about my "advert":Thanks for your response, I am still interested in buying from you, I will like you to withdraw the advert on net cause i am buying from you now.

206-203-0691 is affiliated with a 'secret shopper' scam.  The company name is; Datex Research Group of P.O. Box 37459 Long Key, FL 33001.  The victim is sent a letter assigning him to shop at a K-Mart, Wal-Mart, JC Penney, Home Depot, or Sears.  The victim is also requested to make a financial transaction by sending money using Western Union to a Sally Miller.  Enclosed with the letter is a check (counterfeit) in the amount of $1,997.00 to be used complete the shopping and financial transaction assignments.

this is the same as the above person. He says he is in Salt Lake and had 2 Yorkies to a good home. He says if you pay $180.00 He will send them to you. He talks of his wife dieing and cant take care of them. He post on ksl.com

I answered the phone, and the guy on the phone asked me if I was interested in air duck cleaning.. I say no, and 2 minutes later they called back again and asked the same questions, I told him that i was on the "do not call list" and he replied "where do you think I got your number from" ... this was crazy... I was thinking that the "Do not Call list" meant that the telemarkers will stop calling but I guess I was wrong...

what exactly is an "air duck"? is it an inflatable duck? oh wait- you mean "air duct" cleaning

also received this fax today.According to the IRS web sitehttp://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=155682,00.htmlit is definitely a scam

When I answer, they hang up.

This number was associated with one of those "we have $7,000,000.00 in a lost account for you if you send us $120.00" emails. Total scammer.

Said the same thing to me on creigs list he Is a scam

This guy may have been dormant for awhile but he is responding to ads in Hawaii now.  What a jerk. In his email he puts this number but it is just a recording.

this is a scam...they try to rob your US account.....i do not understand that the banks do not investigate further

This number was also given in several email responding to my craiglist listing, by [email protected], offering to send certified check and having shipping company pick up the items.  It sounded too glib to be true and call to the number only got some generic announcement.  This seems like a scam.

total scam

206-203-0017  This is a scam artist. Selling cars & trucks too cheap. The price will include shipping. Claims to be affiliated with EBay. Craigslist and EBay are NOT affiliated.

was in an email I received on my a craigslist listing.

I received this faxed today. Telling to send all the info necessary to open accounts and etc.It might be a scam, but I'm calling the IRS tomorrow to ask them about this.I live in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles.I don't have a caller ID for it, it shows this 112286, but tells me to fax to +1-206-203-4815 and the fax was signed by a someone named David Smith, Director of Information.

Found this number on my caller id.

I got this call today and feel lucky that I looked it up, I have a private cell phone number so after seeing this wonder if it is a spoof card that ppl can send messages and be anonymous about a virus? That is awful! Thank you for posting the information.

Called my cell, left no message.

didn't answer phone

On federal do not call list TELEMARKETERS are still calling.

called at 8:54 pm.  and my # shold be blocked from telemarketers

annoyed

This guy keeps calling.  It is  a prerecorded message.  I am on the do not call list but he still calls and there is no way to stop it.

every message the amount of money a day goes up, and wants me 2 log on his web site 4 a virus.

I'm glad there are sites like this.  Got the form by fax. i'm in Bulgaria as well.... definitely a PHISHING SCAM!!! Look around the net, many examples of the scam, there are even word documents that you can "touch up" your self.  However as someone already noted the original IRS form never asks about "bank accounts", bank and branch address, mother's maiden name etc. etc...

I just got the same call but only thing is that the person that called me said that his name was blair ????? what who is blair I don't know any body named blair what in the world is going on and this is a new number so why is this person calling me who ever you are stop callin my house and not saying nothing my number is not even in the phone book nither is my cell (STOP)very upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did not answer it twice this phone number from telemarketing

We are constantly gettin calls from this Blair and We are on the do not call list and when you call that number back it says to unsubscribe leave your number and i have and they still do not stop calling me. What can i do to get this loser to stop calling ? Thank god i didnt go to the website and just looked the number up, or i would have gotten the virus too!

The 6 th time I have receive a call from BLAIR saying he was getting back with me and go to some kind of a web site, DONT GO TO THIS SITE IT IS A VIRUS

they keep calling my cell phone and i just hung up, but they call everday.

Recorded call - keeps calling unknown caller.

Same story. Pretend to be from the IRS and ask for some personal info and bank account numbers. Phishing! Beware!

I got this even in Bulgaria. Beware of phishing! Check with the IRS web site the form you are about to send, you will see that the actual IRS form is very different from the one you got by fax.

I did not answer it twice.

I did not answer it.

Didn't answer

Got a call from this number.  Did not answer

Got a call from this number. No message left.

I was one of the unfortunate people who fell victim to this guy. He said his name was Michael Thomas and the agent was Arnold Crutcher through Yahoo! Finance supposedly. I thought I was buying a Yamaha Repsol motorcycle in the Kansas City Star but got scammed. I reported to the FBI, please everyone report this guy so the FBI will take notice and find this guy. They can only start looking into these internet cases when the same scam artist continually gets people. He definitely has a pattern, and it's only a matter of time before he scams the wrong person. I too got the cancer story and felt sympathetic to his reasons for selling. Also, I talked to this guy about the motorcycle for almost a month, he is very convincing and committed to ruining people's lives. So, everyone please take cation because I do not want anyone else losing thousands of dollars to somebody who doesnt deserve a penny let alone deserve to live.

Yeah I got it too... felt weird so I looked it up... And I am glad I did.

This number originates from an attempted scam on craigs list.206-203-2815

WARNING! This phone number and its owner is a SCAM. DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM, REPLY, SEND MONEY...ABSOLUTELY NOT!REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE/FBI. There is also another website you can report these morons too. It actually works if you provide all of the emails and info you have.Good Luck.

Same scammer here saying he was going to Hawaii.  I asked him to send me his home phone.  If he sends I will forward to police.He He.

yeah i just got an email from this person as well saying they want ti but they are going to hawaii and will get it on the way back ! come on guy, seriously?

This is the phone number of a Nigerian sent to me on Match.com.

got IRS forms by fax telling to send account info to this number.

Seems to be a Seattle, WA land line. Provider is International Telcom, Ltd. Got these same IRS forms faxed twice on 12 Dec 2008 and 20 Dec 2008. I don't want to spend money paying for a reverse phone search, but it looks pretty much like phising. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, so finding out the name and full address of whoever is behind this scam would make little sense to me, but perhaps someone living in USA should do so.

According to http://www.numberwiki.com/phonenumbers/206-203: Listing for phone number (206) 203-4815 WA - Bainbridge Isl., Mercer Isl., Newhalem, Sea-Tac Airport, Seattle, Vashon Isl.; (564 overlay of 206, 253, 360, and 425 suspended) 206-203-4815 / 2062034815

Tried getting information by offering to pay for a truck placed on craigslist. The person even offered to pick the truck up after the check was cashed. No one buys a car without looking at it. How stupid do these people think we are. If they are still using the same number, how are they still trying to scam people? He didn't call me, he emailed me his number to call him and leave a message. I didn't do it, I knew it was a scam and then I googled his number

also got IRS forms by fax telling to send account info to this numberDecided to investigate first.Seems to be fake?

I was given this phone number from someone who is still in the process of trying to scam my whole bank account.

He's trying it in Indiana too. There is an internet scam report site. If you do a search for reporting internet scams a site comes up. I am going to report him too. I think we all should. I mean come on if it sounds too good to be true it is too good to be true.

got IRS forms by fax telling to send account info to this number....seems to be pishing

An automatic message about lowering rates on health insurance.  If they can't be bothered to hire an actual person to talk to me, then I can't be bothered to listen.

Don't believe them.

Called my cell phone.

who is it?

This # is being used by John Anderson of 267 519 1299 of Reading PA. to sell a tractor worth about 30K to 40K for $5500.00.  When you send him cash at money gram thru, supposedly YaHoo, then you fax him at 206 203 3927, to let him know you sent the money to an agent of YaHoo Finance, which is a fake, then your money is gone and so is John.He uses Thomas Lee as an agent for YaHoo in NY.BE CAREFUL WITH THIS GUY, HE HAS A LONG LIST OF SCAMS.

I got the same message today...October 10, 2008. This really reeks...who's doing this anyways????

Don't waste your time.

Here is how they scam you: send you over the item amount check, saying that was his secretary error, check has been mailed, and want u to refund it by western union. The check is FAKE !!!! never send refund to him.He loves 'fishing' at CraigsList.============================Part of his email:============================....I want you to understand that the deal is on as my secretary as posted the payment already. This arrives shortly but there was a slight error i guess we can handle with care, when i asked to know if the payment as been mailed out. She informed me that she as sent out a check for $3,200 instead of the actual amount $995 for the item, Then she claimed that i requested that she should send a check of $3,200 to you, but i know quite well i made a request for just the actual amount for the item. Its was a terrible mistake and it was already out for delivery to your address before i was alerted about this. This as really got me worried....  This is what i will want you to do once you receive the check please i will want you to deduct your money plus $100 which is a gift from me.  The excess should please be sent to my mover via Western union money transfer once you have the cash, this fund will be use in off setting the cost of the shipment he as undertaken for me recently......

Contacted representative selling our car and they advised that this is a SCAM!  Do not accept any transactions from this phone number and do not give them any personal info

HeyI am getting this guy or girl trying to rent a room from me.  But he has sent a fake draft cheque of $4000.00.  He also has called me on my home telephone and business phone.  Then he says his mother is sick with cancer and he needs me to send via wester union.  This guy is all over the world and seems to be a profession scammer.  He used names of Joseph Harris, Martins Kush, Magaret Kush or Margaret Kush, Alfred McKinnon and whoo knows what else.

This guy emailed me from a different email adress and said to take my posting off craigslist and consider he sold. He told me he'd send me a cashier's check and then have his "movers" come pick it up.  I told him to send the check to a PO Box and he said he wanted a physical address. I told him I didn't trust him and if a PO Box didn't work for hem he wouldn't be able to buy from me. I haven't heard from him since. Does the guy think I'm ******ed or what. What a joke.

This is a pre-recorded sales call. The message says this is David returning your call about information you requested. The website the message tells you to go to is 485daily.com  It is a company that claims you can make $485 daily simply making return phone calls. Sounds like another "You pay us, maybe we'll pay you' scam. I do not recall signing up for this at all and am on the nat'l Do Not Call.

this guy is doing scams

Trying to send checks via upa and to rent a room..? i don't know how that works..or what he/she gets from it. but it's very shady. Too bad they have their names all mixed up (Martins, Kush, Judy Vera, Judy Phillips, Martins Phillips, Allison Kush). In addition I noticed its all from "rocketmail"

Annoying phone calls with no one on line when picked up.

someone from texas getting back to me.  I did not call.

telephone number given in a scam email

Caller ID said UNASSIGNED.  I picked it up, it said, "Wrong Number. Sorry about that." and hung up.

Called, recorded msg said "sorry, my mistake" and hung up

when i answered a recorded message said "Sorry, my mistake" and then hung up.

Same as above: Answered, then a recording "My mistake--sorry, about that." Then hung up.

I received the call but did not answer. They did not leave a message.I do not answer calls from unknown numbers. If they persist (some do), I add it to my contacts and give it a ringer ID of silent.
