I got a phone call from this company Weinberg Cockran and Irwin yesterday claiming they were calling from a state attorney office that i borrowed money from EPAYDAY LOAN and that i needed to make a payment ASAP or i would b n jail 4 christmas. I googled the company name EVERYONE PLEASE BE AWARE THEY ARE FAKE..... They were very rude on the phone they never address themselves by name, whenver I ask personal information bout myself such wen did i take out the loan they would beat around the bushes without answering me.IF WEINBERG COCKRAN AND IRWIN READ THIS MESSAGE : YOU WOULD B INVESTAGATED YOURSELVES YOU PICKED THE WRONG PERSON TO MESS WITH I DO HAVE A LAWYER IN MY FAMILY HIS ON TOP OF THIS FRAUDULANT MATTER AS OF 9 A.M. THIS MORNING I'M GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO GET YOU HANDLED AND IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE YOU GUY'S ARE FAKE. REMEMBER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

They called my father saying he was from a attorney office that it was urgent for me to call them back to handle this matter or actions will be taken. I call them they were very rude over the phone demanding money $719.00 that i supposely borrowed from and never paid back. They never told me when i suppose to have taken out this loan. The scarey part about it they have my SSI #, I spoke to 3 different people at 2 males and a female they would tell me to hold on like they were transfering me but they were actually covering the phone with their hand or sitting it down it was all done unprofessionally. But they demamed I pay something or go to jail they ask if I could make a payment of $200.00 that it needed to b payed in 30mins or they would issue a warrant. PEOPLE THEY ARE FAKES PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT THEY ARE CALLING FROM DIFFERENT NUMBERS CLAIMING TO BE (WEINBERG COCKRAN AND IRWIN). I have someone personally working on this matter for me to put a stop to these CONARTIST. Please don't give out any informaton to them google them first or call the police and make a report. I've started my report

This call came in to my cell phone today. The caller said she was Amanda Rice, but didn't say where she was calling from. She insisted that I am a person of interest in an ongoing investigation. I read many reports on this number and am confident it is a scam...

i got a phone call last nite around 5 or so and the said his name was adam pleviak he woulkdnt give me the name of the firm or organasation he was with he said that i had wrote a check on closed acccount back in 2007.the funny thing was is that he called me on my fiaces cell phone.my name isnt even on his contract and noone knows that im even with him.the only way i can figure he knew i was useing this phone and got my information was when i filled out a work aplication on the internet maybe i dont really know for sure but he knew all my info includeing my social security number.he said that i had to pay the money within the hour or i was going to jail that nite.they donot collect over the phone they send someone to your house people.dont believe anything these people tell you they are liers and thieves.they took us for 368.00 that i did not have.this is y i dont like the internet people can get your info.its not fare to hard working people such as my self.i want these people caught and put away for good.they deserve it........

Unfortunately, my husband was a victim of these con artists. Adam Pleviak and Michael Finch are FAKE. My husband wired 794.00 to them out of total fear. Glory be to God we were able to retrieve every last penny. Please be aware they are con artists. I am going to report them to the  FBI asap.

I too have received a call from these people who had called my x inlaws house that I havent seen in over 30 years and left a very disturbing message for them to get in contact with me.  I was very concerned about this call to them so I returned a call to a TX number and got a Michael Cohen who had also left a message for me at my home.  After I spoke to him, he supposedly transferred me to the "State of Ohio Prosecutors Office" where I spoke with a Adam Pleviak who demanded that I wire $682 to him to stop my prosecution what would have me jailed until my arraignment.  He was rude.  I got on line immediately and found this site.  I am going to contact the Atty generals office ASAP

Its very interesting that when you google an "attorney's office" all you get is how that office is a complete fraud! I knew from the first message I received from these people something was fishy. They were rude and used threats of internet fraud and theft by deception charges. What do they think they're doing? I'd say it's closer to theft by deception than not paying a payday loan! Well, I'm thinking of printing these blog pages and faxing them to the number on the fax they sent me. By the way, I also investigated the charges they were threatening me with. You cannot be charged with internet fraud for non-payment of a payday loan. You can't even be charged with larceny by check. This is getting ridiculous...

How where you able to retrieve this money? My father got the same call stating that he would go to jail. I am still doing my own investigating, but coming up empty handed. Glad you guys where able to come away with everything. God Bless

Collectors or con artists? If they are collectors, you people need to look up the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and start filing suit. Keep a log of all calls they make- to your relatives and yourself.

Also, many states are 'single party' with regards to recording calls, meaning that you can record the call without notifying them you are doing so.

If you are unable to record calls for lack of equipment, have some fun with them and tell them you are recording the call... then listen to their tone change!

For anybody else, there is no such thing as debtor's prison. It's all scare tactics- and illegal, at that; again, look up the FDCPA.

I don't think impersonating a State Attorney General would sit too well with the State Attorney General's office, either...

My father of 82 got a call from Martin Anderson of  "Fraud and Worthless Check Division" 832-377-3049 also Weinberg, Cockran and Irwin of Houston Tx. He scared my father while being treated by his nurse with I was going to be arrested today if I did not send him money. Of course after my father called me I call this Mr. Anderson, a rude unprofessional arrogant con man!
He refused to give me the name of his company, or his supervisor stated that he was going to have me arrested that day if I did not pay him for a bogus check. I do not live in Texas nor have I written a check in Texas so red flags went up.
After several calls trying to get to the bottom of this situation it was painfully apparent that this Mr. Anderson had only one intent in mind and that was to push for money today without any proper information. Mr. Anderson also promptly called several of my family members with the same information, how do they get that information?
I then decided to do a little research and look what I have found, this and so many other sites with this companies name.
I do hope that they get what they deserve! Needless to say at least this number has been blocked from calling my father and my family!

Hey Sunshine Queen.... This just happended to me on Friday.  I wired 1,108.00 out of total fear and I need to get my money back.  Can you please tell me how you were able to retrieve it.

I received a call back in July 2012 regarding a past due amt. from an old cash advance, the caller who said his name was Chase Johnson at 330-765-1100 at WEINBERG COCKRAN & IRVIN & was going to arrest my son in 2 hrs. if this debt wasn't paid, they said everything that I fell for....meaning when it comes to my kids, I'll help in anyway I can. So I wired the money to them "MoneyGram" ...Now looking back this was just FRAUD, and I'm so upset with myself. Of course if I try calling the number they referrenced it is no longer a working # !!!  Just a month ago,  once again I received another call regarding my son, the very same thing!  I told them I was NOT giving them another dime and I have indeed contacted my attorney and how I knew this was fraud, well low and behold....they hung up on me, and haven't heard anything since.
