Annoying texts

hlo

Repeated calls no one on other end

The su****ious phone number I got was ***-735-1647. I decided to google the *** and see if anyone talking about a scam, as my gut said so****ing was wrong. A recording that sounded like a TV show was playing when I answered. ***g up shortly after. I do not know anyone from this area and am guessing this is their new number. This call came in today. 11/25/09

i just received the same message today from a man claiming his name was jack anderson with the same threats, these people are annoying!!!!!

They just keep calling one call after another. That is so annoying. Glad I check these numbers out, cause they are calling my place of employment. They have been told that I no longer work here. Cause I have had other calls like this threatening me with being arrested and all sorts of stuff. What has the world come too with the way the economy is now people are trying to steal from hard working people. Hope they get caught and go to jail.

This is a club I would much rather not have become a member of! I have NEVER had a pay day loan. I did however fill out an application for one; I guess that's all it takes. Here's my story: I have gotten three very threatening and scary messages on my cell phone from an individual with a STRONG Middle Eastern accent. He knows my first and last name, my address, my place of employment, and lord knows what other personal information. The number that was recorded on my cell was (***)961-8518. I got the first call on Friday July 31st, the 2nd on Monday Aug. 3rd, and another this morning (Thursday August 6th). In addition, the same individual called my place of employment twice on Tuesday Aug. 4th. Due to the threatening nature of the messages, I was scared to return the calls. Instead, I contacted my local Police Department and they advised me not to return the calls. The caller identifies himself as Henry Smith and demands that I return the call. The call back number on the first two messages was 714-598-4240 and 415-200-0284 on the message left today. He states that it is an “urgent, time sensitive matter and that either I call back or have my attorney call back because he can not be responsible for what will happen next, and may God be with me and my child as the situation unfolds upon me if I choose to ignore the call.” In doing some on line research today, I learned that this is a total scam. These scammers attempt to extort money from consumers with a myriad of false and illegal threats, and alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers, and bankers. This is a very active group of scammers, many of who are calling from India (and probably other countries) and are in cahoots with a group of American payday loan scammers. I have forwarded the details of the messages I recieved to the FBI, FTC, Secret Service, Oregon's Attorney General, and my local Police Department. So****ing has to be done to stop these crooks. Though I never spoke with anyone directly, or sent any money, until I found out it was a scam, I feared for both my daughter’s safety and mine!

Please spread this. It's important that people are educated on this scam as it has begun to become popular. This particular group began in 2007. The have used over a ***dred different phone numbers and at least a dozen different company/agency names. I will list a few below. They are from Asia Pacific and have never even stepped foot on American soil. However, they are terrorizing and scamming Americans out of their money. Even if you did have a payday loan and have not paid it back, they are not authorized to collect that debt. They claim that they work for/with Cashnet, however they do not. They have an inside source in which they paid for applicant's information that has been submitted for loans. So whether you applied for a loan and never got it, or if you applied and did get it, your information has been sold to these scam artists. DO NOT PAY THEM, and do not entertain them. Once they feel that they've scared you, they target you. If they conclude that they won't be getting any money from you, they drop you and move on to the next target. I hope this information helps. I've been investigating this group for quite some time now and thanks to these posts I'm able to continue tracking them. I've worked diligently to have them stopped, however I've only been able to get them to stop using the same phone numbers and company/agency names. Some of their aliases: Officer Andy Brown, Randy Brown, Darren Stifler, Ken Stiller, Roy Campbell, Sean Miller Some of their company/agency aliases: United Processing of Law Ba***** Marketing Group (BMG) Department of Law & Investigations Oakview Law Offices *** they sometime claim to be police officers, paralegals and "representatives of law"*** Some of their phone numbers (listed are the most recent. As I stated they have used over a ***dred different numbers and cannot list all. Keep in mind these numbers are stolen and used through a VOIP Voice Op IP system) 646-506-9441 646-395-1276 646-918-5364 901-328-9974 347-438-3332 562-286-5777 912-344-9400 408-404-3021 ***-961-8518 213-231-1900 Also, you can find other numbers they've used within this thread. Hope this helps. Remember, they are scam artists from over seas. If they were in the US they would have been shut down by the Federal Trade Commision a long time ago. - NY Investigator Caller ID: 646-918-***3

Calls me saying that either myself or my lawyer should give him a call back, but when you call the number back is says its disconnected.

I have received if you can believe this 6 calls at of all places my WORK Very embarassing! Each time they have called I have ***g up. The last time they called I decided to turn the tables onthem. I said I was with the HR Department that person does not work here anymore. They got very very andry and said well receptionist says this person works here. I explained to them ( heavy accent and all) that this is a business and I have traced their number and recorded the call. They had the nerve to say they were recording the call as well. I ***g up!!!

Wife got the same call, seem they like to pick on woman. I was outside *****ing and she put me on. I told him I had another payday loan to take care of, fired my ****gun and made groaning sounds. Then, I came back on and asked how I could help him. He said I owed for some loan, I told him to come on over to collect. For some reason I doubt he will.

Called about past due amount.  company says in good standing.  Disconnected number. Also same person very threatening.

I just got a call from this person, same heavy accent called my phone 4 times in a row telling me I need to pay a loan.  WTH I never even took out a loan for what he is telling me.  Said that the police will come to my house and get me at  and i will go to prison if i do not pay.  i ***g up each time. Scary that he knows most of my personal info, address, etc.
