got several calls starting at 0900 and 1900hrs.  answered twice, and there is no response!

Several calls

Called Answering machine, no message, this can't be good. lol

I have been receiving calls all day on my cell phone and work phone saying I owe money to Cash Advance America and if I didnt pay them I would be sent to court and possibly jail.  I am so scared!  He said that Cash Advance America has tried to contact me through email numerous times....I do not delete ANY of my emails and I have not found anything from Cash Advance America, even in my JUNK mail.  I was told to call 360-930-3395 to resolve this issue, so I did, and when I asked for Cash Advance America's phone number so I could speak with them, he gave me 813-319-2654...which apparently is the SAME companys phone number!  They are just trying to give us the run around so we end up paying!  First they said I took out a loan for $300 and refused to pay.  So I will be tried in court for Theft by Deception and Fraud.  With all of the loan fees I was to pay $1057, I do not have that kind of money just laying around so he said if I didnt pay TODAY the fee would go up to $5000!!  But, being the nice guy that he was, he transfered me to MY state collection representative to work out a deal...If I could pay, $529 today and $529 by the end of the month, and send a fax to them with my info apologizing for the missed payments, they wouldnt forward my info on to proceed with their lawsuit.  So, me being suspicious person that I am, I typed in these phone numbers and found all of your comments...Thank you so much!  You just saved me $1000!  I was so scared!  I didnt want to go to Court...Jail....Thanks again for your posts!

I received a phone call from the number 052-497-347, left by a guy on my voicemail with a thick Indian / Pakistani accent claiming to be "Alexander Wilson" or something like that. He told me to call him back immediately, claiming that there was an affidavit filed against me.  He also said that some cash advance loan companies were pursuing litigation against me for outstanding payments on loans from them...that I never even received! One of the "loans" was for $300. He told me to call him back at 813-319-2652 to resolve this "problem" (outstanding debt from a loan I never even got) or I would be taken to court and brought before a judge.So I called him and it sounded like the same guy, and used a different name than the one provided to me in the voicemail. It was another plain-Jane English name. I basically asked him how I could rest assured that this was not a scam, and for him to confirm that my "debt" and the collection company he represents is legit. I told him I never received the loan(s) he claimed I did; he told me to tell the judge that. The discussion got rather heated between us and after I asked if the bill collection was legit, he abruptly hung up on me. So yeah, this has scam written all over it.

I just got a call from an Eric Matthews who obviously is not an Eric Matthews based upon his accent, who claimed to be from some ACS--these are the same scammers that are calling claiming to be James Davis, and Officer John Cop from the American Law Division or US Investigations...etc. Do not give them money. They are all in the same organization of scammers and they are trying to harrass you, blackmail you, and I could go so far as to say they are trying to extort money from you.

contact the Federal Trade Commission and report them.  It will shut them down until they move to a new city.  It is a scam.

I got one of this phone calls at work today, I was in such shock that I don't even remember from what office he claimed he was calling, however the number was blocked so I did not get a number, told me that an officer was going to come in tomorrow to my job and take me to court, I'm freaked out!

I received a telephone message from someone stating his name is Joe Martin and he works for some finance company. The message he left was if I didn't call back immediately, I would face serious charges. The man sounded to be foreign. I'm sure this is not a real company. When I called the number back it doesn't ring, an automated service picks up and says you have reached box 495933. There is not company name, live person or anything. I wish these people would stop calling me.

That just happened to me this morning.  I laughed.  he got very angry with me, because I asked for specifics.  He told me not to waste his time. Afterwards, I got upset and called the police.  I was afraid my identity was stolen again.

OMG, I just got a call on Monday from a Rick Thomas and that he wished me good luck if I didn't call him back regarding my SSN.  Something about a law suit.  I knew it was a scam but thought I would look it up anyway...glad I didn't call back!

Yes, they leave these crazy messages for me at my work number such as if I ignore this message, he will wish me good luck as the situation unfolds on me.  They gave me a name of James Thomas, very american name for someone with such a thick accent!  They give me different phone numbers to call them back on which do not match the number 714-006-6000 that the number is coming from.  I am not going to call them back and will report them to both the FTC and Attorney Generals office a.S.A.P.

I have and am getting these calls only Neil Johnson is saying or whoever calls says if I do not pay they will be sending my case to local police in my state and the police will come to my work or home and arrest me.  I talked to a lawyer and he says this is a scam.

Hey...... these people calling from INDIA, CHINA and other countries. where hundred of call centers are running for getting money by fraud from USA and UK citizens... ITS ALL SCAM... How it runs..........(for debt collection)It starts when people tries to get loan online, they fill all their personal detail on that sites and problem starts from this point. all your information is sold to collection agencies (call centers) at $4 to $6 / Person, whether you got that loan or not.SO what actually they (Call Centers) do...1. They have all of your information includes: your name, social security number, address, employment detail, 2 references and a detail of amount.( which you didn't get)2. For dialing purpose call center gets USA or UK numbers. they calls through various softwares (like: ICALL). And have various phone numbers.3.They hire college students or some people and prepare them to communicate with you. (training classes for getting a bit of American accent) and gives them fake names (American).4. They makes a write up for leaving message to threaten you. like:- "This message is intended for Mr. john (your name).  john the very second you receive this msg i need you or your retained attorney to call me back. the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. my name is ..........., and i am calling from financial accountability association, my call back no. is 123456789, i am repeating this for you john 123456789, john don't disregard this msg and call me on my number back as soon as possible. if i don't get any call from you or from your attorney........ wish you good luck, bye"5. If you pick up phones ...they will threaten you by saying... that federal govt or federal legislation  is going to pressing lawsuit against you and your social security number. and try to make you remember that you took a pay day loan and never paid it back... so it is very easy to threaten you by saying that "such company falling lawsuit against you for your unpaid loan".( you don't know for which loan he/she talking about and try to remember your last 2- 3 loans (which you actually got and never paid)).  At this time you stuck in the situation.(according to my perception you never know "how many loan you took in last 1 or 2 year"- sorry-- joking)6. They will tell that you are charged against these allegations:-  1. Theft by deception 2. collateral cheque fraud7. They will tell u that they have sent various mails to inform you but u never replied and that was the only way to communicate you.8.They will ask u to write a Apologizing letter that “your intention was not bad and you never wanted to run away with that money & you want to fix that issue by paying ..... amount.”how to avoid them... 1. By telling that you have an attorney (Both criminal and bankruptcy). give any number by saying "call to my attorney"... they won't call.2. By telling that u know : Its ALL SCAM .......... they will hung up.3. By telling that its not my social security number....... they will never call.4.By asking for the date of loan taken (online)........ they can't help you in this matter (by which u can come to know about scam)Don't be afraid.........They won't sue........If this detail is helpful for you please copy paste this into other pages... don't be selfish.... and save other people from being fool.My English is not so good. I am an Indian........ all Indians are not same... you can send me mail for more detail:- [email protected] YOU REALLY TOOK LOAN AND WANT TO PAY IT BACK THEN PLEASE VERIFY ALL DETAIL BEFORE PAYING ANYONE.........Thanks and help people

I received a call from this number from a James Frank?? I couldn't understand him his accent was so thick! They keep calling for my fiance. Threatening that they have an affidavit against his ss# and that they are filing a law suit. I don't even know how they got my number since it's always been mine! But lo and behold.... they keep calling. I finally called them back today and I believe this is a cell phone. The person did not even answer it like it was a business phone, just answered "hello". Then I told him to stop calling me and to take me off their list because I am NOT the person they are trying to reach. Funny that when I called their number back, all of a sudden it was a "supervisor" I was speaking to... hhmmm... sounds like a huge scam if you ask me! He said he would "take me off the call list"... yep, I've heard that one before!

I got that same exact call from "Matt Thomas", the guy with the deep Indian accent.  The initial call came from phone number +052497347 but I let it go to voicemail, heard the voicemail and was like WTF.  Then a friend of mine called me shortly after saying he'd received the same call from the same guy saying that they were looking for me in regards to a fradulent loan of $300 I took out in 2008.  So I called these guys back and "Matt Thomas" answered but said his name was "John Smith".  Yeah, and I'm Pocahontas motherf*cker.  Really? John Smith?  Come on!  Anyway, he said that I could settle the matter with ACS for $545 or go to court with the vendor and risk paying over $5000.  I told him let's go to court 'cause I took out no such loan.

I have been receiving calls from this company for about two years now.  They call and leave messages threatening me on my work phone.  I have been told several times they were taking me to court, but two years later I still haven't received a court order.  I tried returning a call to them once and they transferred me like 5 times and just hung up on me.  They are a scam.  They call off and on, I will receive several calls for a couple weeks and then it will stop for a month or two and then it starts again.

I just called them back, and now his name is "Neil Johnson".  I thought he was gonna say Neil Diamond lol.  Anyway, I told him off.  He kept asking for my phone number to look up in their database so I'm assuming they don't have caller id in their country.  I told him to quit his sh*t and that the U.S. Federal government is after him.

Yes John Smith from ACS called me also and sent me papers but the papers didn't have an address or office number Im still leary and I am going to order a credit report.What did you do?

They are harrassing my friend trying to get info about me.  "Matt Thomas" with the legal department of the Affiliated Conservative Services.  I am supposed to call them back before they take legal actions against me.  He said I left her name and number as the primary reference and guarantee?

i got a call from this number they said i had to pay 745.00 from an outstanding loan from 2007 if i didnt pay him the money they would take me to court

I received a msg from a caller who identfied himself as Rick Williams, but the accent is very strong and sounded Pakistanian or East Indian. He said that he is from ACR,  which is a law firm who said my SSN has been comprimised. He said his name was Rick Thomas. The voice sounds like the same one who identified himself as Shawn Williams and Jack Smith who called several months before. This is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They get your number from applications you complete when trying to get a loan. I reported them before when they called from different numbers: 052-497-347; 052-797-815; 284-604-2669; 601-429-9005; 919-629-2766; 777-943-530; 810-676-161. These numbers show up on my caller id. If ypu look at some of the numbers, some of them do not have enouigh digits so you can't call back. A person has to apply online but unfortunately Scammers are out there to steal your info and try to get money illegally. Please be  aware. I reported them to the attorney general's office who did a trace and found that the numbers are to a mobile number linked to Canada, Phillistines and the California. Because of this, they can't be caught.

Received many calls from these people. Indian accents and plain old english names. They stopped callling me for a while but have now started up again at work and home. Now the caller's name is "Sean Williams" from ACS. Same story, I'm going to be sued if I do not respond. I have and will continue to ignore them. Do not give them any info they are nothing but a huge SCAM!!!!

Yes, this is a total scam!! Do not give them any info. They will call your home, work, even friends or relatives to threaten you. Just ignore them and feel free to let the FBI know about it. This particular # is from Florida but, they call from all over.

This is a scam.  I got a call from a man saying his name is Shawn Williams and that my name came up as a reference for someone else's.  When I called the number he asked for my telephone number to bring up the case number.  When I asked if his company had a website he said, "Look for the website and talk to me later", then he hung up. I asked his name and he said it was John Smith--although he sounded exactly like the "Shawn Williams" who had left a voice mail a few minutes earlier.  I tried looking for a website and could not find one.  I called the number back and I was hung up on--twice.  Please be careful with this number and the person who is calling. ACS is the firm/company name.

Its a scam do not give them anything

I have received a call from this number and they are scammer's.  They get your information from an application you fill out on line for loans.  When you speak with them they ask you if your name is ____, SS# is ________, checking account # _________, based on the "yes" response you give them they go into your bank accounts and charge money without your authorization because they have your online signature from when you applied for a loan online in the past.   They will scam you about 6-8 months after you tell them who you are on the phone so do not speak with them and do not tell them "yes" on ANY question they ask you no matter what.

A gentleman with a heavy accent called me first and said that he was from ACS and that is was of the utmost importance that I contact them back. They called me by my maiden name which I have not used in 40 years but had my sons name (which they referred to him as my family member). They said it was important that he contact them as they were getting ready to have him arrested for misappropriations of funds dealing with a loan he got from a finance company. The first call was that it was just critical that he call them back (Logan Hunter, (646) 727-4437) and the # was different than this one. The call I got this morning which came up as all zeros was from Kevin McClan from Affidavit Consolidation Services with the return phone number of (813)319-2653. They went further to say if he did not respond since my name was used as a reference I would be in trouble and potentially they would issue a warrant for me also. Who are these people?

Just got a call from this number for an associate, caller was saying he needed to speak to her about her Social Security Number.  Caller very hard to understand, this is the number he gave for her to call back. Sounded like a scam, under the name of a law firm, ACS.

they are harrassing me - caller James Franklin. Anyone know anything

so, what happened???  I am in the same boat with the same guy.  I'd like a heads up of what I am in store for.  Please reply ASAP.

unknown persons calling at 6:00 am in mornings asking for unkown persons .leaving messages on my cell phone. which I have to pay for the.

I am getting calls from a man by the name of James Parker w/ a heavy accented voice.  He has called from several numbers.  I have received 10 calls this morning from a number that show all 000000000.  He is asking for an Elizabeth, and that is not my name.  He is persistant and rude.  I keep telling him that is not my name.  He then go on to say he is for ACS Affidavit.  Then he proceed to say they have paperwork against me.  I ask for information but he will only give me a call back number of 813-319-2653 .  He has also called from several other numbers.  I looked this number up and saw many blogs for scams.

I recieved a call from a Alexander Davenport claiming to be an attorney in California.  He said that I owed 738.98 for a payday loan (which included $300 for the loan and late penalties)that I received which was never repayed back.  I told him that I never received a $300 payday loan.  I quickly asked him what date I took this so-called loan out and he said that he did not know and for me not to worry about it.  He told me that if I did not settle this matter that he would have me served at my job and that investigators would come and arrest me.  I told him that that was fine because I refuse to pay money for something that never happened.  He said that I needed to contact him at 760-282-2260 before 5 today with the payment.  I was so scared that I hung the phonbe up and contacted my attorney and started doing research online I came across a lot of complaints about this person.  I just hope that he will not call me again!!

Got the call today---on my cell phone for my father in law. huge accent-but could not tell me anything citing HIPPA regulations. Are you serious... so I want to know how these people get cell phone numbers and where they are from. Caller ID showed up in all 0's

I recieved this call numerous times for the past few weeks....... always around the same time between 2:30PM-3:30PM. Telling me I had defaulteed on a loan and asked me "Why did I not keep up with the payments?" I have never taken out a loan so I did some research. The guy told me his name was Mark Foster and everytime he called Icould easily remember his name, so I beat him to the punch. I called him the number he always called me from and he said a COMPLETELY different name. I knew it was him because I mean you really cannot forget that terrible accent. I pretended to be an attorney and stated I only want to speak to "Mr. Mark Foster" and told him Iwould not relinquish any information to him but to only "Mr. Mark Foster". I then (in my attorney state of mind) asked him "Why are you harrassing my client". He then got mad and cussed at me then hung up........ LMAO. I had him lost. The're SCAMMERS don't give them any information no matter WHAT. THEY MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!!

I recieved a phone call today (1-8-10) at work from a Roger Woods, saying He was connecting me to some department where a Richard Wilson would inform me why the phone call. Roger was very heavy Arabic accent. Richard Wilson got on the phone, he said that he wanted my phone number I wouldnt give that to him and I told him I wanted his phone number, because I was at work and I wasnt talking to him at this time. He had a very heavy Arabic accent. He did tell me he was calling from ACS and my phone number was a affidavit about a loan that I defaulted on. It isnt the first time I have had a phone call like this, I told them if they didnt stop harressing me I was calling my attorney. I did also tell them I let the police know about this.

Yes got another call, not the first time. These people tried this a few months ago with threats but when my attorney got involved they freakout and never called me again. Now looks like they are trying again. Let them know you are not an idiot and to have papers sent to your attorney. Whether you have one or not and they will stop calling. Its a scam but its serious cause they have your personal information and ss#.

Hi I got a call over the Christmas break about a loan I owe to, for a balance of $418-. He said Cash Advance USA is filing a lawsuit against me because of a unpaid balance. Do not want to give out my bank info. What should I do?

I have been harassed by these same people. However I want everyone to know, not only do they use different names, they have another number from which they call too. It was a fluke that I kept this number from "Peter", from a call about 3 months ago. I recieved a call from "mark Smith".. with a VERY thick accent... from another number, yesterday - 661-674-4579 - same exact company, same scam. They are using different numbers and names so be aware of that. Also that post above from "Peter" is a form letter that is also posted for the other number (661-674-4579)the EXACT same post, from a "Jacob" that time. I also asked them to send me something in writing and on letterhead, that I wanted to file a counter-suit, they told me to send them my attorney's info. I again insisted that they send me something in writing, so my attorney could contact them... they hung up on me! They do not like when you ask them questions.. a legitimate company, would be more than happy to send you something in writing. This all a big scam!They also have information that they shouldn't about me. It worries me also that they have it. If there is a lawyer out there that knows if anything can be done.. especially with these people obtaining social security numbers.. please let us know.Just wanted you all to know about the other number (look it up, more people are going through the same thing)and don't give them any more info, if you can, continue to document when they call, come back on here (I was thrilled to learn that I was not alone on this) and contiue to tell people. Hopefully these people can be stopped.

Same a**hole, different name Michael Anderson, "you are in a very serious regow troubow if rou don't calla me back because you a friend has used a your name and you are in serious regow troubow", could be east indian, I thot maybe chinese, although michael anderson doesn't sound like a chinese or east indian name LMAO

These people are scam artists at best. They dont speak English and call me excessively on my cell phone and at work. They wont tell me anything over the phone and only say they are calling for a serious identity theft with my name and social security number.I asked them to quit calling my work and cell as I had no idea what they were calling about. I was told to shut up and listen and then I became irate. I told them i was reporting them to Homeland security and my attorney and was told to do whatever i wanted. I callem them back atleast 5 times in a row as they kept hanging up on me and told them i would keep calling unless I could speak with the manager or owner of the company. I was told they were going to have me arrested for harrassment. I guess they dont like having the table turned on them but i am going to continue to pursue this and have these people investigated and put an end to these crazed scammer.

Received two phone calls as well 12/18/09, from a male with heavy eastern Indian accent claiming his name was "Neil Thoms or Thomas". Stated he was with "ACS" and he had an affadavit filed against of me and if I did not want to get in trouble to call him. He called me on my cell and at my office work #. I did not/will not return his call....Call on my cell number per caller ID was from 052497347 the phone number left to return calls on both messages was 813-319-2653. This is not the first time I have received these kinds of calls and by research and seeing it is happening alot to others I am sure it is not the last one either.

Get repeated calls from this number at home, my work, cell phone and husbands work. They state they have a lawsuit against both me and my husband for a payday loan and state the last 4 numbers of our SS number.  They have a very thick african/nigerian accent and use common names such as James Parker.  I called them back and told them to stop calling all numbers they have on myself and my husband or we will file suit against them for harrassment and they hang up.  This is causing problems on our jobs and has to stop so if anyone knows how to stop this scam, let me know.  They call from several other numbers also with the same message and threat of a lawsuit for some payday loan that we never had a loan with.  I have googled several of the numbers and they all are reported as scams/fraud.

Received two ph calls from a male with heavy eastern Indian accent claiming his name was "Mark Foster". Stated he was with "ACS" and he had an affadavit filed against of me with the last four of my SSN - which he left on voicemail. He called me on my cell and at my office work #. I did not/will not return his call....

very same thing is happening to me...and they are calling my mother-in-law & brother-in-law. has to be some type of scam and I am reporting it to my attorney general. any other advice?

I also was getting harrassing calls threatening legal action for defaulting on a payday loan back in 12/2008. Peter Jackson and Jack Austin both sound indian. I received a call the other night by unknown caller who left a message stating that he was on the computer and found this to be a scam and told me if I had given any money to give no more. He said that these people were buying personal information from payday companies. I have already contacted the District Attorney's office in new york and will contact the Attorney General's office next maybe the FBI. It appears that this scam is way to big to ignore. Everyone needs to get together and see that these people get jail time.

I was also told that I owed a payday company money (cash advance usa) I called cash advance usa and told them what was going on. The woman told me they were getting several calls regarding this scam. She said she told her boss about it and he has yet to do nothing. He shrugged it off.

I received a similar call today 12-08-09 from a Bryan Smith he said he was from the legal department of ACF in Tampa, Fl.  He refused to give any company information said that his system was down and would call back in one hour.  Than Neil Tom called my sister and said I took out an internet loan and had done some misappropriation of funds to the financial company.

Received a message at work from Richard Wilson (sounded Arabic) claiming that I needed to return his call immediately.  He claimed that my social security number has an affidavit about a loan.  Seems like a scam.

I got the same thing on 12/1 - without going into the details -my call was similar to the calls mentioned above- He stated to have my brother contact him and he was with Cash Advance USA - my brother has never dealt with this company.  The guy had a very heavy Indian accent -- very rude - I hung up but I want to know what we can do about this.

With very broken middle eastern/indian accent a man identified himself as Victor Scott from A-something Consolidation Services. He said he had "a very important legal issue" to discuss regarding my friend Phillip ??no idea?? and his social security number. A Finance Co. was "pressing charges regarding a misappropriation of funds" that occurred while applying for an internet loan. "During this fraud he mentioned your name as a guarantee." Before anything happens to me or my friend I should call or have him call. Don't know this Phillip-person. I never answer calls with blocked numbers so this was the message on voicemail. Not going to respond unless they continue to call.

Had 2 calls - 1st one 11-17-09 from a Richard Wilson at 813-388-4157.  He had really bad Arabic accent - very hard to understand. From what I could possibly understand, was told my daughter(he gave her name)had applied for a fraudulent loan, using my information and to call him immediately. I put his phone number into google and came up with 21 other people who were having the same type of calls.  Then today 11-18-09, received a message from Kevin McClain, requesting my daughter to call him(813-319-2653) as time was short about her loan problem. Note: She has not applied for any loans except a payday loan, quite a long time ago.  Since these calls seem to be a scam I am not calling either one back, but I am thinking about contacting the Attorney General, for the State of Florida and also the FBI.  Hope this info helps others who are dealing with these people too.

Caller is doing the same to me?? Any Advice?? What did all of you do.. Very [email protected]

The caller called me and my best friend.  Indicated that I needed to call a Kevin McLean back.  But, when I did a Micheal Smith (heavy mid-eastern accent) called.  I asked him who he was and who he worked with.  He told me he worked for the Legal department of Florida.  I then told him that I work for the State of Florida (which I do) and wanted to know which department.  He got angry told me they were pursuing the lawsuit and hung up.  (Funny thing, he didn't even know who he was talking to.)  I called back using *67 and asked for Kevin McLean.  They put me on hold and another person got on the line.  He wanted my information and I didn't give it to him.  I told him that he violated my rights under the FCRA and if he needs to contact me he needs to call my attorney.  I hung up without letting him talk.

u are bieng sued for a loan that u took out and if u dont pay back the money u will be arrested at your job and your ss# will go to the court house. this message was from this phone# 1-813-319-2653 i think they are a scam the email address is [email protected]

They claimed I was being sued for an outstanding loan from an Internet company.

They claimed I was being sued for an outstanding loan from an Internet company.

This sounds like the same guy that called me today and said that my friend put me down as a reference and she has been doing fradulent activity.  My main question is how do they know my name and my friend's name.

i was recieving calls from an Alexander davenport stating i had a $300 loan. he wanted me topay him $789.38. he told meto fax him some infoand getit notarized. he then told me i was playing games and hewould send his people to my home while yelling at me. he didn't want to send oremail me proof. he then said he worked for the us govt. everyone i spoke to from thatplace sounded like the same guy. i filed a police report agaist him. he had me scared and just kept threatining me. fially he hung up on me.

Dear Peter: i contacted the Better Business Bureau in Florida, there is no record of your company. Your worker's are violating the Federal Trade Commission laws. You try to scare people into thinking that they are going to be arrested. First of all, there are not enough jails, let alone jails that put people away for owing money. Second of all, there is no such bank as - US National Bank. The bank does not exist. So, please stop abusing the American citizens that you are harassing. You and your company are a big scam. All you have to do is google - Legal Affividavit and google the two phone numbers that you use. IT'S ALL A SCAM. So as you told me, God help me, no peter, God help you. How do you look at yourself in the mirror each day? Or how do you sleep at night?

These guys are pathetic a**holes.  They threatend me saying they will file a legal suit against me because my friend who they are after won't take their calls and I am helping a criminal.  They called me 50 times in one day.  I am suing them for harrasment.  I work at a law firm.  They are messing with the wrong person.....Simon and Peter....Watch out....God can only help you now...BASTARDS!

People with very strong Asian accents have been calling me now for months.  First they claimed they were from the law office of Thomas Franklin and I owed CashAdvance USA $350.  Being that I own my own business and have never used a place like this in my life, I knew it was a scam.  However, when I told them never to call me again they actually increased the calls and become increasingly nasty.  I never answered the phone when they called and it eventually stopped.Then a month ago it started again-now from the law office of Jeff Anderson!  They constantly leave nasty messages on my voicemail and just won't go away.  Do not talk to them-it just makes things worse-that I can tell you!  The last message they left had this number on it to call back so I wanted to warn others about them.

This guy with a heavy accent is now calling my work and leaving long messages that I will be in a legal mess. Then he got me on the phone and I could barely understand him. I think they are terrorist trying to extort money. I have no idea why he is calling my work number now or how he got it. He would not tell me what the company was called and then said I need to have my attorney call him. Has anybody found out what this really is about or what the company is?  Because I really will pass this information to an attonrey if that's what these jokers want.

So anyway the federal Legislature of Unsecured loans called me as well. They called me at work then 0 out and called everyone on  my team. Claim they were Officers and what have. They call all day everyday. The secrect service 989-4970580. They have finally stopped calling

Ian called me on my cell and my place of work NUMORUS times on 9/30. Said that I took out a payday loan of $250.00 and never paidit back and that I was going to get sued unless I authorized a phone payment with him. He said it was on behalf of US national bank and that the loan was through US cash advance. I told him I wanted proof from his company and US national bank mailed to me so I could see it. Hesaid he didn't have to do that, and that he wated my lawyer's information. The really scary part is that this guy already had my banking info, ss#, and dl#...BIG TIME scammer...now I have to change everything!!! He said I will be behind bars if I don't give him authorization to take the $250.00 from my bank account. I hung up and he kept calling me back. I told him repeatedly to stop calling me and eventually he did. Everyone beware of this scam!!!

Called and were supposedly part of "David Gray" attorney.... well I asked to be transferred to said atty and was transferred to the first person I actually spoke to. Asked for their address and they hung up on me.  Called them back and again asked for the address and they hung up on me again.  So I called them again and said I knew they were stammers and I was going to report them and they said "go ahead and do it right away" and then hung up on me.  Called them back again and stated they were NOT to call me again.  They called 53 times in a row according to my caller ID.  This is definitely a scam as any reputable atty would give you their address when you asked.

This is the newest scam number.  Answer and tell them you are reporting them to the FBI

This number called me stating they are some kind of legal company and transfered me to a "restitution officer" who in turn told me that I borrowed money from Cashadvance USA (which I didn't) and never paid it back. I did just have a payday loan out thru a different company but it's fully paid and I have proof of that. When I asked for info about this, this Peter guy got very harrassing told me that he was sending a legal notice to my work, my references (had my mom's name and boyfriends name), etc... Told me that I would loose my job and end up behind bars. Then he hung up on me. This freaks me out for the simple reason that he had my name, phone number, moms name, boyfriends name, ..... somehow someone has gotten my information over the internet.....it's the only thing I can think of. I don't know what to think or do!

Ian called and stated he was with "Legal Affadavit Unit" from a Law Firm regarding a lawsuit that they had.  They called 30 times in 5 minutes Said it was regarding a US Cash Advance Network (never had one) when told he did not need to call that often get got very mean and harassing and said "If you would pick up the phone on the first ring I wouldn't have to"  Would not answer what Law Firm he was with

I was contacted at work on 9/22/09 by a gentleman named Alexander Davenport wanting my attorney’s information.  I said I don’t have one and what is this concerning.  He said he was a senior attorney with the Law offices of FAA and I was being sued by Federal Legislation.  I could either settle this in court on Fri Sept 25th at 10am in the supreme court of California or I could settle it out of court.  He would not give me the name of the people I owed and just continued to say the only name I need to be concerned with is Federal Legislation.  So I figured this was legit, I gave them my debit card info and called my bank which is First State Bank of Shelton (308)647-5131 and told them to authorize a payment of 698.37 that would be done on the 22nd.  I called Mr. Davenport again later to make sure everything was good and he informed me that they were only able to get $300 from my bank and accused me of fraud against the Federal Government.  I explained that I authorized the bank to make the full payment and he continued to say I was committing fraud.  I continued to talk to him and he just kept saying that I was committing fraud.  I then asked for something in writing and he replied you will get it when the entire amount of 698.36 is paid.  I asked why he wouldn’t give it to me and he replied that I was in no position to be asking for anything because I was in the wrong.  I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said he was the senior attorney there and he made the decisions.  I replied if he didn’t send me something in writing that I was going to put a stop payment on the amount that I sent him, when he heard that he said fine I will see you in court.  I then asked where would this court appearance be and he replied that I would receive this on Fri Sept 25th at 10am.  He told me earlier that if I did not pay this that I would need to be in court on the 25th at 10am so I asked him that and he said that he never said that.  When I asked one more time for something in writing he got very upset and started yelling at me.  I then replied if he doesn’t give me the info then I was going to report him to the police and he replied "I am the Federal Government!!!  What do you think you could do by calling the police?"    He continued by hanging up on me.  During the course of these conversations he would put me on hold a lot!!  I could always here a lot of people talking in the background and no one spoke very good English...  On Sept 23rd at 6am AZ time I called the Bank and they said that there were multiple charges being authorized from All American Services in Hicksville NY in the amounts of 100, 200, 100, 200, 100 dollars all coming to a total of 700.00 dollars.  After finding that out I called back to speak to Mr. Davenport at Law Offices of FAA and I was referred to Kevin Jones but it was the same guy’s voice that said his name was Alexander Davenport.  I explained that I had spoken to my bank and they show these charges being posted against my account and his reply was I have only received 300 dollars I told him again I have proof from my bank that the money being charged was 700 and he then said that the 300 they had taken would be redeposit into my account within the hour and he would call me within the hour to give me notice of a court date and then hung up.  My bank has cancelled my Debit card to stop anything from being taken out of my acct.  It is now 12:30 PM AZ time and I have not heard from this company yet.  On September 25th I was contacted again by an Alex Watson ( same guys voice again) and told to call him back at 310-598-1752.  I called 2 minutes later and no answer.  So I called 310-598-1675 and spoke with James Falkner of the Financial Dept.  He immediately put me on hold when I identified myself, I was then transferred to Alex Hunt (after a 20 sec pause same guy that said he was Andy Hunt, Danny Martinez, and Alexander Davenport) and he began yelling at me for canceling the transaction that I authorized 2 days prior.  He said he still had $300 and was going to keep it and sue me for over $7000.00 if I did not give him the money right now.  I told him that I have proof from my bank that he has not received or is in possession of any money from me because my bank has froze my account and no money has come in or gone out for two days now!!  He then began yelling at me and said he would have a subpoena sent to me and I would see him in court in San Francisco next week.  I told him ok and I will show up with the records proving that his company tried to take out $700 in little amounts and had exceeded the at one time agreed upon amount of 698.36.  He told me if I could prove it to him he would gladly pay me up to “$10,000 US DOLLARS” so I asked him how I could do that and he said have your bank call me and I will assure you that I have 300 of your money and that your bank is committing fraud against them by withholding this money and freezing my account.  As soon as I started to tell him that I was going to do that he started yelling again and saying that he would see me in court,  I politely asked him to never call me at work again and he replied “ I am going to call your employer as soon as I hang up with you and put a black mark on your credit report with Trans Union and then I will freeze your credit ability for the next 7 years)  I told to go ahead and call my employer because they are aware of what is going on he then hung up.  I called him right back and he threatened to sue me for harassment if I didn’t stop calling him ( wow )  because I was violating some law.  I said I wouldn’t call him again if he doesn’t call me again, he then said good luck and I am going to ruin your life and I will see you in court next week!!!!!

Seriously, I don't believe you "don't be so sure & immediately judge".  I have been getting these calls for months now and have seen absolutely no proof of this debt.  I even checked and, guess what, I didn't even have a checking account when this loan was supposedly taken out.  Also, my father is an attorney and has been advising me on this situation.  You have to be SERVED the SUMMONS weeks before the actual court date.  NO COLLECTION AGENCY CAN HAVE YOU ARRESTED! IT IS A CIVIL MATTER AND CAN ONLY BE HANDLED THROUGH A LAWSUIT! My dad, the Federal Trade Commission, the Oklahoma Attorney General, and the Better Business Bureau (I contacted all of them) and all agreed that this is a major, country-wide SCAM.  Honestly, I think it is made up of a small group of people that think it is ok to scam money out of innocent, hard-working Americans.  Maybe you are one of them.  This Logan Smith may be a legitimate attorney and not associated with the scammers at all.  However, if the caller says there are from the "Financial Accountability Association" or the "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans", it's bu***hit!  The "Financial Accountability Association" and "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans" DO NOT EXIST!!!  THERE IS MOST DEFINITELY AN ALERT ABOUT THEM PUT OUT BY THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU! IT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS THESE TWO COMPANIES, ALONG WITH OTHERS!  BEWARE!BE ADVISED: Unless you actually receive proof of the debt, they can't do anything.  Legally, they must answer questions you ask them about the suit; these guys often refuse to give certain details like dates, amounts, the name of the loan company, etc.  Legally, THEY MUST TELL YOU THIS INFORMATION! AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GET YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO FIRST!  DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Don't be so sure & immediately accept this as being a scam.I would advise ya'll to use some discretion and hande this situation with care. Until 1 month ago, I too took these guys for scammers. However, I was sued by them & I was ordered to pay $6 grands. My loan amount was only $300!!!!Only 2-3 guys are authentic however, & most are phoney. The authentic guys are very courteous if you are nice to them and don't swear or hang out on them. But, if you do so, you are not going to have a great time with them.I was sued by Logan Smith. Stay clear of this guy!!!  I did run a check on him with the CA bar members list . He is genuine & he's a man eater!!!!! Learn from me & check if you are dealing with him. If yes, resolve with him!!!

I got a call said i have a court date on fridat 9-18-09 if i wanted to settle it before it went to court then give me a credit card number and he would take care of it.  and said i will be going to jail

Collection type call. they threatened me to send me to jail, that they were filing criminal charges against me.

i too got a call from these people. the man said his name was dave cooper and spoke with a heavy indian accent.i asked to speak with someone who speaks better english as i could not understand most of what he was saying. he proceeded to tell me that he was the lawyer in charge of my case but could give no info on who was bringing the charges or his licensing number or any other pertinant info.total scam.

I received a call the first time in the spring from a guy "William Smith he left a message stating "the second you receive this message to contact him and at the end is said my name and ended the message by saying have mercy on my children. I called back the next day and this jerk had the nerve to demand that I write a letter apologizing for the debt and notarize the letter. Now he is calling my job stating that I will be sued and the place where I work will also be sued. I pray that this guy is caught and I am grateful that I did not give him my debit or credit card number. I am also happy that the company whom I called told me that it was all a scam. I feel bad for the senior citizens who have worked very hard to keep good credit and this indvidual calls and gets them upset. I hope he gets caught soon

This man claiming to be a "gary smith" is calling me in the same manner as the complaints above me. It is annoying and so fradulent. It is just getting old. The guy yells out an entire ssn which is the first red flag. If it is a legitmate debt, only the 4 last numbers can be verified. Also, if the debt was real, you would get some sort of mail explaining what you owe and some way to settle it up. This guy was yelling at me...which is another red flag. He said have a fun journey. Who even talks that way anymore?? It is just getting old. Knowing your rights is very important. These people are scammers. What ever happened to the good 'ol days where you had a real job to earn money?

This number is calling me over and over and over leaving no messages.  It calls for about 1/2 hour a day non-stop.  I have not answered and they never leave a message.  I will be reporting the number.

Here is the CBS Article:Bogus Debt Collectors Sweep the CountryMoneywatch.com: Better Business Bureau Issues Emergency Fraud Alert About Widespread ScamFont size Print E-mail Share 12 Comments PhotoScammers accuse the victim of defaulting on a loan and claim they are about to be sued. In some cases, the con artists claim to be lawyers with the "Financial Accountability Association" or the "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans," BBB officials say.  (AP)Stories Buyer Beware: Web Supplement Scams 3 Debit Card Scams to Avoid (MoneyWatch.com)  This story was written by Kathy Kristof.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Better Business Bureau has sent out an emergency alert, warning consumers about a widespread scam that involves phony debt collectors who have significant private information about their victims. According to reports received by BBB offices in several states, the scammers accuse the victim of defaulting on a loan and claim they are about to be sued. In some cases, the con artists claim to be lawyers with the "Financial Accountability Association" or the "Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans," BBB officials say.The victim is then given the chance to wire money or provide bank account information for the debt collector to nab it electronically before the matter goes to court. In many cases, victims are subject to dozens of nasty, abusive phone calls in a matter of hours. More disturbing is that the bogus collectors have the victims' Social Security numbers, home addresses, information about employers, some credit references and even old bank account numbers. The victim is asked to "verify" other private information that could make them subject to identity theft. "Even though they have sensitive information, they are not real debt collectors," said Alison Southwick, spokeswoman for the Council of Better Business Bureaus in Washington, D.C. "We have to imagine that this is the result of some serious data breach. We don't know what it is yet but it was so serious that we wanted to get the information out right away. "It is extremely frightening how much information these people have about their victims," Southwick added. The BBB has already reported the scam to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Trade Commission. However consumers remain at risk. If you get one of these phone calls DO NOT provide any verifying information. Either hang up or demand that the debt collector send verification of the debt in writing. Then: * IMMEDIATELY put a fraud alert on your credit file with all of the major credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax and Transunion. Because the scammers have consumer Social Security numbers, your risk of becoming a victim of identity theft is through the roof. * You will automatically get a copy of your credit report when you issue the fraud alert. Be sure to read it carefully and identify any item that's not yours. * If there are numerous new accounts or "hard" inquiries-those are where you have supposedly requested credit-file a police report. (Soft inquiries are when a creditor has requested general information about you to provide a pre-approved offer of credit. They are nothing to worry about.) Also report the fraud to your local Better Business Bureau, which you can access by plugging in your zip code to the BBB link above, and to the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Meanwhile, if you have gotten one of these harassing phone calls, please share the details and how you handled it for the benefit of other potential victims. More from CBS MoneyWatch.com:

Said I owed money - Had to pay today - Said they were with Superior court of California - Caller Area Code 813 Florida

I had the same call today and this appears to be a scam.  Somehow they have my name, bank account, and references from something I did online. I have some legal background, so I refuted all of his legal nonsence about bail, attorneys fee, filing of lawsuits.  He refused to provide me details on the alleged debt, except he finally said something similar to what was mentioned by cyndy.  He kept contradicting himself on when the alleged loan was taken out and when it was charged off.  Virtually everything he said was in violation of federal and state debt collection laws.  Not sure what we can do because it sounds like they are calling from overseas.

I received a threatening telephone call from Gary Smith.  He told me to be quiet while he read the charges against me.  He yelled at me and said I owed 967.35 for a 300 dollar loan with a payday loan company.  I did not have a loan associated with the e-mail account that was given.  He scared me so that I authorized payment.  If I don't get my money back, it is my own fault for being so stupid.  I wish I had heard the news report on CBS before this happened to me.  I reported them to the fraud alert division of my bank.

Received call 9 pm 7/28/09..complaint filed with Nat'l DNC

Rec'd a call from this number.  I'm on the Do-Not-Call list.  I filed a complaint.  When I called the number back all I got was "All circuits are busy.  Please try again." The call was for health insurance--soliciting business.  A clear violation.

I just received a call from (813) 319-9176, they didnt leave a message.  I dont answer numbers I dont know.  Hope they dont call back if they are solicitors.

I got a call from 813 319 9176 on July 22th at 8:31pm; it was a recorded message about health care, and for me to leave my info...   I Am going to file a complaint with Gov since  this phone is on the Do Not Call Registry List.Sorry!

I got a call from this number as well on my cell phone on a Saturday afternoon.

They called my cell phone with a pre recorded sales message.

This is a solicitor Allegiance Telecom of Florida. I am also on the National DNC list and they keep calling so I want to report them and will do so.

They are calling my work cell phone.

This is a solicitor -turn them in I have do not call on my phone too

I just received a call from that number and they have it blocked for you to return the call to them to find out what they want.  They are calling my cell phone which is only accessible to people I gave the number to not to telemarketers.

These people called me last night around 9 pm. I did not answer and they didn't leave a message. If tey call again that late I will be filing a complaint.

June 17, 2009 This number called my cell phone and my husbands cell phone.  We were called between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm.  I found out it is Allegiance Telecom of Florida.  We aren't suppose to get calls like this because both of our phones are on the Do Not Call Registry List.  If they keep calling I will turn them in.

A man from India called me at work to indicate that is was important to contact him.  No company given.  Very persistent guy.  He indicated that his name was Paul, Mike and Steve.

On March 26, 2009 at approximately 2:15pm I noticed that I had a missed call (number that appeared on my phone was 10040815573) and a voicemail on my cell phone and also on my work phone. It was a man with a very strong Indian accent who identified himself as Alex Crenshaw claiming that this was an urgent matter and that if I didn’t return his call he would assume that I didn’t want to take care of this matter. I wrote the number down, and immediately called him back. When I called the number they claimed that Mr. Crenshaw was in a meeting and that he was going to have to call me. He returned my call 5 minutes later. He claimed to work for the Department of Crime Prevention in Florida and that he was contacting me because I had a federal court order against me and that they were coming to arrest me at my job and I would be put in jail for 30 days for check fraud because I had neglected to pay back a payday loan. He also warned that our conversation was being recorded and anything I said will be used against me in court. I told him that I was fine with the conversation being recorded because I had no idea what he was talking about. He went on to read my social security number and named my employer. I asked him if he could please provide more details because I was very confused and I couldn’t understand why someone from the Department of Crime Prevention in Florida was contacting me when I live in another state. He didn’t provide me with a lot of detail but kept repeating that he didn’t have to call me and he was just doing it as a courtesy to me. I asked him why I hadn’t received any documents in the mail or received any previous phone calls regarding this matter and he stated that that’s not the way the payday loans people work. They just call up his company and let them proceed with the litigation. I thought this was incredibly bizarre and had the gut feeling that this was a scam so I stayed on the phone asking him questions so I could get as much information as I could just to confirm my instincts.  My first question was what were the names of the payday loans and he said “Cashnet USA” and “AP Processing,” as he was telling me I googled them and found that there is an actual website for Cashnet USA, but AP Processing came up as accounts payable software.He then told me that if I didn't take care of this matter by 4pm that day he would have to proceed with the court order and they would contact Human Resources where I work and the police they would come and arrest me. I asked "Mr. Crenshaw" what my choices were in getting this taken care of. He told me that I had two options. Option 1 was to deal with the matter in court and after all the attorney and court fees I would pay $2,150.63. Option 2 was to settle out of court and pay $810.63. I asked him how much time I had to pay $810 back and he told me by 4pm that day. I look at the clock and it was 3:24pm. So I ask Mr. Crenshaw if I could have an extension and he refused, and stated I had to pay something that day. I told him that I would have to go to the bank to see how much I could give and he asked why I couldn’t just get my balance online. I told him that I was at work and had no access to the internet. I asked Mr. Crenshaw if I could pay him with a cashier’s check from my bank and he said they would only accept a credit or debit card payment. I told him that I didn’t feel comfortable giving him either numbers so he threatened to hang up and proceed with the suit. I pleaded with him to help me figure out a solution. Then he asked me how much I would be able to pay so I told him that at the present moment I could only pay $25. He said that I needed to pay a minimum of $150. I then told him that if these people really wanted my money that they would try much harder to work with me. He never stated that I had to pay a minimum! By this time I knew that this was a scam. I them asked if he could call his people and ask them for an extension because I had to transfer money onto my credit card in order to give him the $150 but the money still wouldn't be available until tomorrow. He said that he would call the company and see what he could do. I asked if he could promise that he would call me back because I seriously wanted to take care of this matter. Then I realized that I never asked him when these loans were taken out and he told me one was from 2007 and the other from 2008. I told him that I never took out payday loans during that time and he told me that I left him no choice but to proceed and that I will have to deal with the consequences. I asked him if I could ask him just one more question. By this point he was extremely agitated but said yes and I asked why hadn’t these debts showed up on my credit report which I just checked two months ago. He said that they wouldn’t show up. I asked him how it was possible that a company who is willing to not only charge me with a federal offense but was also going to have me arrested NOT put this on my credit report. He hung up on me. When I tried calling back 30 seconds later Mr. Crenshaw was once again in a meeting!

These idiots keep calling me on my cell with an automated telemarketer because I tried to sell a car on Craigslist.
