In the past day I've received 3 messages on my cell phone from a Roger Miller (with a thick foreign/Indian accent).  He left very bullying messages saying it was a legal matter and I was in danger of going to jail for an unpaid cash advance.  I've had cash advances before but all were paid.  I ignored the calls.  

Today I received a call at my WORK number from "Roger Miller" who then transferred me to an "Albert Johnson" who also had a thick accent.  "Albert" told me there were 3 allegations being filed against me:  banking fraud, passing bad checks and international financial fraud.  Sounds impressive, doesn't it?  He gave me a file number and his phone number and proceeded to tell me that I must pay or go to prison and be ruined. He even rattled off my bank account no. and social security no. He was very rude and bullying.  When I asked for written proof of such allegations, he refused saying he couldn't provide it. I asked again. He refused again. (BTW, I work in a law firm.)  I then told him I wasn't the fraud, he was, he became quite angry and started yelling at me that I was being rude and said he was blocking my social security number so I could never get financial assistance or accounts ever again and was going to jail.  He then hung up on me.  I called the number he gave me a few minutes later and "Albert" answered. I told him who I was. He said he didn't want to talk to me because I was rude and told me he hoped I enjoyed jail. I told him I was reporting him and his company to the AG. He hung up.

The scary part is, he had my bank account and my social security number.  I called my bank and am in the process of getting stuff moved and changed and have filed for fraud alerts.

The same exact thing is happening to my sister... We have called the police.. He is harassing me and her boyfriend also...

I received a call at work stating there was a lawsuit against me. When I called the number back, the person with a foreign accent by the name of Steve Johnson who stated "I owed $635.00 to some company to settle out of court and if I went to court I would owe $7512.00." When I began to ask him what company this claim was for and to send me proof of transactions and paperwork, he became very arrogant and threatening that I would go to jail if I did not pay. The worst thing was that he knew my banking info as well as the last four digits of my Social Security number.

I recieved the same call. First it started out by me getting 7 calls in 1 hour and 3 voicemails from this Roger person. By the time I got to work I had 2 messages from this Roger person.  when i called i was rudely talked to by this roger and hung up on!

I received 7 calls all in a matter of 2 hours, now they have started calling my job! I am being threatened that if I dont pay this debt I am going to go to jail, suspend my license and I had 3 charges filed against me! He (Albert Johnson) told me in order to hold my case file I have to fax my CC information to him otherwise be taken to court and jail!

I asked him to provide me a copy of the debt that I owed and I needed the paperwork before I give my information out, considering I recently had transactions coming out of my bank account that I didn't authorize. I then told him that I wanted to talk to an attorney before giving him any of my personal info.

He then said, "you have 30 min to call me back or Im going to forward this on to the authorities" WTH! I am not perfect but I do try my best to take care of my debts but this is harassment!! What about the Fair Debt Practices for consumers!?!

Your description couldn’t have been more accurate. I received about 9 calls within a matter of 15 mins from some guy with a heavy Indian accent telling me that I was going to be picked up by the police at my job and taken to jail until court. I have also utilized the payday/cash advance services, but do not have anything outstanding. Furthermore, no collection agency is going to go to each person's job and pick them up to take them to jail. I simply asked this rude man to send me some documentation in the mail or via email- of course he states "we have already sent you all of the paperwork". However, I didn’t recieve anything. The next question I asked was what the name of the company I borrowed from is. He tells me that they are all different companies that are part of "Cash Advance" but he doesn’t know which lender specifically. So you mean to tell me; you know my name, SS#, Bank Account info, but not who I owe? Furthermore, now I am going to Jail over an outstanding debt of $320? Hahah EF that! For a split second this guy had me going, and I was getting nervous - but now that I have heard your story I feel much better! It's crazy how these guys work. I once received an email from a great friend asking me to wire him money b/c he was stuck in China and lost his passport and CC's. At first i freaked and then said to myself, i didnt even know this dude was going to China for business. I called his parents and they said that he was in Texas at a conference and that they had all been hacked. This stuff is impressive, but also very very scary!

The same thing just happened to me. I didn't get names but the 2 men had very heavy accent, and told me that I had recieved a cash advanced and that I didn't pay, so charges we going to be pressed against me. I informed him that I never recieved funds, and I have proof. The men did know my SSN and bank info and told me that I would recieve papers in the mail about a court date. I told them I never recieved anything. Company CIL, I called the number 508-379-2128 from my cell phone and the number is a non working number.

My mother received a phone call saying that her and my brother committed fraud and that they were going to have to face the consequences. I immediately knew it was some kind of scam because the debt collector has no power to threaten jail time. For those of you who are scared about whether you can go to jail, no you cannot go to jail for having debt. Just call the state police and let them deal with it, do not call them back go directly to the police.

No. That never happened. Isn't that against the law to tell you that you are going to jail?

Thanks guys .  I received similar calls from a Victor Owen and talked to 2 guys with the same Indian accents -Reymond Dexdars and Chivas Emper. They also threatend me with court  saying it would cost me $6000 and I should settle today for $430 otherwise I will go to jail and lose my car.  They would not send me any documentation and they have my account number and my last 4 of my SSN. Dexdars got very belligerent when I said I couldn't understand him due to his accent. He said he was an American Citizen.  I will be talking to a detective later in the morning.  BEWARE !!!  Hey did you guys have a lot of background noise and many people talking ???

I told me i owed money out and I would be prositicute and go to jail. I ask for his number and written info which he told me he couldnt give to

You guys thank you for all your information. this makes me feel better that i am not in any sort of trouble, and that i am a COMPLETE fool for trusting idiots who are too good at their scamming jobs!!

I was told all of the same things and have been overly harassed by an Albert Johnson with a word for word identical story with the rest of you. Please don't fall for it, since we obviously haven't done anything wrong!

I have been receiving calls from a company called central investigations and litigations. They stated that I was under investigation and that I commited  3 counts of fraud and was going to be  prosecuted in court if I did not speak to them. I began to ask questions about this and the man with a thick Indian accent stated that I was going to jail. I told him I needed to speak to my lawyer and we would be giving him a call back. He told me if I got off the phone he would make my life a living  hell. He proceded to call me back to back over 30 miss calls on my phone. I received a call from a friend and my sister stating they had received calls stating I had commited fraud and that they too would be prosecuted because I used them as a reference.  I have never taken a loan out or gotten a cash advance loan. I did however open a new checking account online.  I think theyverrr able to accessy info this way. Very scary situaton. They know my name, social, and people close to me. Is there a way stop the before they do something else.

I have been receiving the same calls from a company called central investigations and litigations. They stated that I also was under investigation and that I commited  3 counts of fraud and was going to be  prosecuted in court ( I owed $650 & ig went to court it would be over $6000). Having the last 4 numbers of SSN made several harrassing phone calls to my job asking to speak to my managers and wanting CC info. The person was forwarded to the legal department for possibble fraud. He proceded to call me back to back over 20 miss calls on my phone daily. I received a call from a friend and my sister stating they had received calls stating I had commited fraud and that they too would be prosecuted because I used them as a reference.  I have never taken a loan out or gotten a cash advance loan.  Very scary situaton.

just got a call from this phone number from marcus from central investigations at my work...??? i hope (yeah right) i dont get 20 million calls from these freaks.

This same thing word for word happened to me over the past two days. I have a prepaid visa account that my check gets deposited in and now i am in fear because these frauds have my account numbers I dont know what to do other then to report it.

When will this ever stop? It's one thing that they harass me but then friends and family members. I am losing sleep over this. I'm just glad to know that I can't go to jail. I can't go around having everyone change their numbers because that's just not feasible and who's to say that they can't find a new way to get those numbers.

I had the same thing happen to me, but this one was a Daniel with and foreign accent. The man was rude and harrassing. Told me i was gonna lose my job and give me a bad reputation. He calling my job and harrassing me there. I got 4 threatening phone calls after i called the police and they called them back.

Yes there is lots of background noise, they are calling my job now. Its is ridiculous.
