Be careful, he texted my number claiming he had it from bumble and went by the name Matthew. I caught on on quickly, not who he says he is and stopped responding when I called him out

I didn't answer, they didn't leave a message and they were blocked.

I have been receiving multiple calls from a couple different numbers but this one has called both my cell numbers (I have a personal and a work cell) as well as my works main office number which I never give either my work cell or work office number for anything so I suspect it is a scam call.

There was no answer, just dead air. I said hello twice nothing.

"GE Alarm Systems" looking for an advertising home in the area. Wanted to install system and put a sign in the yard. Guy was very nice but was persistent in not letting me go and routing me to somebody else so I could hear information and then truly decide. Annnnnnoying. After the second time of saying I wasn't interested, he asked if I could confirm my name so the specialist would know who they were speaking with. I said, "I'd really rather not" and hung up.

I received the same call at my job the person who left the message had broken english stating that i would go to jail if call not returned however when trying to contact # stated all circuits are busy. I will not be returning any call to them or accepting.

I was left a voicemail from this number and his name was Daniel.  He says he was calling from the Dept of Finance Investigations and that someone I knew had done a fraudelant thing.  My name was listed and I should call back to take care of it or they will come and arrest me.  I was shocked and stunned at what they said.  I had to hear the voicemail several times to just get the number right for his accent.  I wish there was some way to put these people away for good.

OK...I just got a call from these people too.  These are people trying to scam American's out of money.  I decided after this being my 5x by different agencies trying to do this to try a different approach.  I called the 248-289 number back.  I got this foreign woman.  When she started talking I told her that this phone call was being recorded and being sent to the FBI.  I told her that the FBI has already been notified.  She asked me if I was threatening her.  I told her I didn't know what she was talking about.  I just wanted a recorded message of this conversation.  She hung up on me!  So, I decided, screw this, I'm calling her back.  She answered the phone and said, What do you want!  I was like, well we didn't finish our conversation and also to please remember that the phone call was being recorded.  She hung up on me again.  So I called back.  She hung up on me again.  So I called back.  Some man answered the phone.  I stated to him that the call was being recorded.  I asked him where in India they were calling from?  He said my bedroom and hung up on me.  Hmmmmmm...not a wonderful way of talking to someone who owes them money?  In other words people, don't fall for these scams and don't let these idiots walk all over you either.  I had a major crisis and had to take get money fast from these online sources.  Apparently what I found out was that some of these companies sell your information.  THESE ARE SCAMS!  Let them know you know it's a SCAM and whatever you do...DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY!  It really is a shame that we as Americans have to get scammed by these out of the country a**holes.

I received a call from a Richard Hamilton with a thick Indian accent threating me with losing my job and reputation and I will be put behind bars.  I tried calling the number several times and no response, the mailbox is full.  This person even called my job but I had already left for the day.  I do not know who this person is or what company he works for but I am furious that he called my job and then my home and left a threating message.

This happened to me as well, the guy told me I took a payday loan advance for an amount that I didn't, he read me my bank account number!  Scary stuff.  I called the place that I do have a loan with (cash net) and they said that this is happening a lot.  There is a big investigation on them.  I called my local police department and filed a report.  I also told my boss about it because they called my job, too, talking about how I am involved in a criminal investigation. My boss said he hopes the guy calls back because he really wants to let him have it!  I hope the calls stop, but the nice officer said if they don't then he will call them and have a nice chat with them.  He tried to call them while we were on the phone but the number was busy.  DONT GIVE THEM MONEY!  Or any information.  its a national scam that is under investigation.

I have received several calls from these people.  Very broken English.  All East Indian. One claimed they were from the Department of Law in California, the most recent (yesterday) from Naomi Brooks of American _____ Investigations (I could not understand the full name).  They were trying to collect a debt from a friend of mine and wanted to know how to get in touch with her.  I asked several questions, got no answer and asked if they were based in the United States. They said, of course, they were.  I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that I WAS speaking to a supervisor. I gave no information to them and told them I would report them to proper authorities and advised them not to call me again. The last call was asking me to have my friend return their call, as they were trying to reach her. This is simply a scam that turns into harrassment......

For the last couple of months I to have been bothered by these people. They have called me at my job and told my boss that I have outstanding debt that I need to pay. I have lost my job due to these people!!! They call and tell me that I need to pay them. They have told me that they where coming to my job and my house to arrest me and take me behind bars. They have told me to call them back or I will be arrested within 24 hrs. They have been calling for 3 months I have asked for information from in regards to my debt they just keep on asking me for money....Do not give any money!!!  I told them I was getting an attorney and when I gave them my attorney name and number they are still continuing to harass me....

I am recieving threaten ing phone calls from this company as well! It is starting to interfer with my job, and I am getting fed up with the bogus phone calls, and attempts to get money.

I revd the call from this company they work from different states also they have been on my local tv station as a scam. They also call from a 1-057-594-517 number and the call from a 586 area code as well they get your info form the internet

a fake call back number? if, indeed, they are a collection agency?this Daniel whatever-his-last-name with a thick indian accent who was obviously reading from a script called me and said he was calling on behalf of the Financial Crimes Investigation (fake company) and gave me the number above as a contact number. I told him I'd have my attorney return a call to him once i got all the info (by mail). I called the number just to make sure I could get back to him and it goes straight to dead tone (dials, goes quiets, cuts off). I asked him while on the call if he was representing a law firm, he said yes, so i asked him which one? he said it was Financial Crimes Investigation...i told him that is not a legitimate "law firm". Asked him what state he was calling from, he said Michigan (which the 248 area code matches) so i asked him why was he bothering to call me in Florida? When i argued to get the "real" name of this "law firm" and their true, verifiable, contact info, he just hung up.

The persons who use phone number 248-289-3854 ARE NOT from the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.They are scam artists but they are not as clever as you think.Here is the information on these scam artists.The phone number originates in Auburn Hills, Michigan.The provider of this phone number is Comcast.The legal department's phone numbers for Comcast: 713-462-1908 or 866-947-5587This is a land-line but the switching tower for this phone number is WSLDMIRJDS0 and contains all the logs that trace this phone number back to its original source.This phone number can be traced from the following IP Addresses:  170.69.248.21, 66.249.65.251, 66.249.65.48, 66.249.65.23, 68.171.231.17, and 66.249.65.5 - This means they are using skype, a computer based program to make phone calls over the internet, and they require a comcast telephone box to mask from where the phone calls are coming.Call Law Officer Ryan Gagnon to report these people as impersonating a law enforcement agent and you may contact him at this phone number:  248-370-9444.Also call the FBI of Troy, Michigan and file a complaintI hope these bastards get arrested.

I have received calls from this number. I was stupid the first time and did as they said. What clued me in was when they took money from my account after the date that I arranged. I called the number again to get the address and that didn't work. The lady that answered wanted my name, I gave just my first name and still got no answer to my question about name and address of the business. I have done some research on the internet and found the number to in Auburn Heights, MI. Still trying to find the address. I called my local police dept and filed a report.

Someone speaking in horrible  broken English calling himself James Striker called and threatened me with a legal complaint from Speedy Cash. He claims the loan from 6 months ago was not payed.  The lesson learned here is, save all banking records.

Received a call from this number - Caller ID says 0000.  They say they have  claim against my social security number.  The man says  his name is Mike Jones; however, he has a very Indian accent.  How much longer are these people going to be able to try to scam and scare folks before the FBI or office of home land security do something?

A person is calling me from 248-289-3854 and 757-507-4704 saying he is Jack Anderson with the FBI and that they have a case against my name and last 4 of my SSN.  I then did a search on this number and discovered it was a scam.   So I called back and asked Mr. Anderson for his Agent ID which he said was 4139 and then I asked for his EIN and address.  He told me that he couldn't give it to me.  When I asked why not and that I knew this was a scam, he became irate and used vulgar language.  BTW, he has a strong accent and I barely could understand what he was saying,  So that mad him even madder.  I requested that he not contact me at all but he called me back 5 times within 10 min.  I told him the conversations were now being recorded and the calls stopped.  I am sure he just will find another number to call.

Got a call from the 248 # today. This is the first time I ever tried to follow up and get more info about one of these calls but this one was so hard to understand! Again, Jeff Anderson, same story as everyones. I will report this to protect myself.

I just received a call from an individual claiming to be Daniel Rogers. Over a month a go I got threatening phone calls from a gentleman claiming to be an attorney for a Law firm with the name of John Peterson, Alex Wheeler, and several different alias. This gentleman by the name of John Peterson harrassed me at work, threatened my job and told me that the case was going to court that next week and that they were going to garnish my wages and make sure I lost my job. My administration where I work is aware of the phone calls as this individual has continously harrassed the receptionist where I work. The numbers all have been unlisted and if this was a repitable company I would have been allowed to have the name and number of the business. I spoke with an attorney and in order to file harrasment charges I needed a name and address and when I asked this individual for the name and address of the business he would not give me the information. he refused to allow me to pay by money order (although i do not owe them any money for a payday loan on line as I have never taken one out over the internet) he refused and told me they need my name, ssn, and debit/credit card number faxed to a number. I refused and then he gave me a routing number and checking account number to a bank. the number they gave me was based out of california, the fax was based out of washington and the bank account was out of new york. I am by far not a private investigator but this gentleman has messed with the wrong person. i have filed a police report with my local agency, i went to the local check cashing places and received information to call a 800 number to report payday loan fraud. I have called the better business bureau in my local area and I will not stop if they continue. My suggestion to all individuals who get a call from someone ASK QUESTION? Such as when the loan was taken out? who the original creditor was? what a phone number and address of the original creditor is? what is the name, number and address of the individual who is contacting you is? A creditor has to provide you with certain information and give you time to respond. No creditor has the right to harrass, threaten, use force to collect. If suspect you have been the victim of fraud NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY.

The caller left a message on my cell saying he was with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that my name and number had come up .and i was paid  760 $ at friday and they were sent me the resolment document.

voice message left on my phone stating that they are handling a claim from the Department of Federal Claim.  The number appear upon my phone was 0000 but on the voicemail 248-289-3837.  They also told me that my repretation  would be messed up, credit score will be in red. What kind of mess is this.

constant calls to my cell phone and work place. very annoying, and harrassing

I got ANOTHER call from this number, rejected it, then got a text telling me to call!!!  They will NOT stop!!  This is truly harassment!  I'm very sure they're bogus, and after reading some of the comments here (except for the one from Jesun Adverds, who probably works for them, he also categorizes this call as a "political call"), I KNOW they're bogus!  But, I do love that the guy who has left messages for me, speaking with an accent almost too heavy to understand, calls himself Shawn Peterson!  What a hoot!!!

Received a call for a co-worker from Sarah Wade at Federal Crime Investigations (FCI) about a claim filed against the co-worker.  Sounds totally bogus.

I was given this phone number to contact.Nancy Ken from American Credit Services Legal Department gave me this number. I believe its supposedly a number for "US CASH NET" who is filing a claim for hundreds of thousands of dollars that I owe them. Also for some violation with my local bank.I have not tried to call it yet due to it seems to be a scam!

The Number is really from USASSOCIATES Investigation of Crime and prevention Department.police has knocked at my doorstep and i have paid $425. Don't try to avoid them they have strong government Relations.

Who is it?

I've gotten a few calls from this number.  A man with an EXTREMELY heavy accent who calls himself "Shawn Peterson" says that my husband has committed fraudulent activities, and that I need to contact them immediately to work things out.  His accent is so heavy I can barely understand what he's saying.  I can't make out what company he says he's calling from!!  It's a local area code, so I wonder exactly where he's calling from.  What a bunch of scammers!!!!

I recieved several threatening calls from them. I called the F.B.I. and told them that a supposed F.B.I. Agent was calling me to collect a debt. They used the names Anthony Williams and Jeff Anderson. I reported them to the F.T.C. and alerted the my local Attorney General. This supposed F.B.I. Agent, Anthony Williams wanted me to pay an alleged pay day loan that I had signed for electronically through my email. They had my bank account number, ip address, home address, SS#, D.O.B., and my famlies numbers and personal information as well. I asked them for their business license but they would not provide one. They would not allow me to send a money order to pay, they wanted $321.00 right now from my debit card or they were going to take me to court and I would have to pay over $1,000.00. I took all the steps to protect my idenity. Then me and a bunch of my friends called them and harrassed them. We told them they needed to pay us for a debt they inquired through "Credit One U.S.A.", as they had said to me previously, and harrassed them to the point they changed their cell phone number. What kind of an F.B.I. Agent calls with a Hindi accent, that hardly speaks proper english, and uses a cell phone and scare tatics? We asked if they were terrorists or if they just assumed we were stupid Americans that would give our credit  card information over the phone to settle a debt. Beware of morons that acquired your SS# and other personal information. The good news is, when you put out a fraud alert on your credit report,  you get a free credit report.

I got a call from this man with a very strong accent saying he was with the FBI and that I owed money for fraud of some sort. So I called the FBI and they stated this was a scam and then I had to call the social security office because this man had the last 4 digits of my social and then I called all 3 credit beaures is case he is trying to commet fraud.

The Better Business Bureau issued an alert today saying consumers across the country are getting phone calls from bogus debt collectors claiming default on a payday loan. Of course, the consumer needs to pay a large fee to avoid arrest -- as much as $1,000.The caller poses as a lawyer, and may threaten extradition to face trial if the consumer doesn't pay up immediately.What makes these calls alarming -- and perhaps convincing -- is that the perpetrators reference the consumer's personal information, such as the person's Social Security number, driver's license number, previous bank account numbers, home address -- even personal references."The amount of information they have is really troubling," says BBB spokeswoman Alison Southwick. She adds that the amount of data points to a possible security breach.Spread the word to your friends and family: Don't give out personal or financial information to an unknown caller. Scammers can spoof Caller ID to display different numbers, so trust your instincts over technology.The BBB offers these tips:•    Ask the debt collector to provide official documentation which substantiates the debt. •    Do not provide or confirm any bank account, credit card or other personal information over the phone until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the call. •    File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online if the caller is abusive, uses threats or otherwise violates federal telemarketing laws or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. •    File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online if you believe a debt collector is trying to scam you.

The caller left a message on my cell saying he was with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that my name and number had come up as a refference. He was speaking with a foreign accent.
