646-461-3892

Keeps calling, heavy foreign accent. Threatens legal action, call this number and never get a person to talk to, just says leave a message.

This caller keeps calling at home and work. Says he is from Department of Criminal Investigations for a payday loan company. Says I owe them $300 and if I do not pay, he threatens legal action according to an affidavit. Very heavy accent. Can barely understand him. Did not say which company he is from. Pretends to have an American name.

Both the FTC and the BBB were contacted about this company. This is a scam! Do not provide any information to this caller.

This number almost got me. i actually wired the money through western union. the guy gary thomas called my cell phone saying i had an outstanding balance on a payday loan from months ago. he tried to get 710.00 from a 300.00 loan. when i told him i wasnt paying that amnt he agreed to settle on the amount i originally owed, 360.00. he put me in touch with his "manager" David Johnson who was working with me. i asked who the original creditor was and he didnt know, bUT assured me he would get it to me. he gave me the name of the "attorney" handling my case, which is Gerry P. Hunt, Myrtle Beach SC. i asked for this attorney name and number, address, and he said he couldnt give that out. all men i spoke to have heavy indian accents. i did stop the payment thanKS to the post i read minutes after the money was wired. i reported them to western union fraud protection and am filing a police report with my local precinct. i have to close my acct with the bank ive been with for 12 years becasue im scared these ppl may also have my accts informstion. THIS IS A LESSON LEARNED. this is SCAM. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY AND REPORT THEM

I just a call from this number too. The man with the heavy accent will never let you speak with a manager. This is a scam!!!!!

I GOT A CALL TOO JUST NOW...SAID HIS NAME WAS ROBBIE WILLIAMS...ACTUALLY READ ME MY RIGHTS AND I CALLED HIM OUT ON WHY HE WAS LAUGHING...I WILL REPORT THIS THANKS

Just got call from this number, very heavy accent threatened severe legal issues. It was a message on my voice mail. If this person happens to call me back and I answer I do plan to give them the name of my attorney.

Yup got a call from this number saying that they were sending cops to my home.

Got a call from this guy David Johnston...sounds scary...i will call back but with no other information other than our attorneys name and bankruptcy case.

I got a call yesterday.  This is scary because they had the last four digits of my SS#, my address and other info.  The first person called had a very heavy accent, threatening me with criminal charges saying I would be picked up that afternoon if I didn't pay.  I asked for a supervisor and he said some one would call me back in 10 min. the next guy called saying the other person was trying to help me not get arrested? He had a very heavy accent and said his name was Michael Sinclair from the Department of Crime Prevention in New York and he said wire money to Gary P. Hunt in Myrtle Beach, SC? First he wouldn't give me the western union info.  He said go to western union then call this number back when I get there and he will give me the info.  I told him I wouldn't do that then he gave me the Gary P. Hunt info, no account # or anything else?  I told him I need to verify who he is and what company do I owe he gave me another number (651)525-4064 which is a Minnesota # but not the company I owe.

I received a call, "Withheld" and the number he gave me to call back was 646-461-3892.  It ended up being a "Pay Day Cash" center trying to locate a family member that owes them money.  Good Luck! You just reach the wrong person.

I have received this call also.

I got 23 calls today on my cell phone, 3 at work and 1 to my mother from Gary Thomas.  The second time I called them back I asked for the Western Union information and they refused.  They told me to call when I got to western union and they would give me the information, I said no give it to me now.  "Gary" transfered me to Eric who gave me the name Gerry P. Hurp to wire the money to in Myrtle Beach, SC.  They said this was from a payday loan taken out in 2008.  I did not send them the money and if they call tomorrow I'm ready, according to the FTC I have a right to see the original document with my signature and I also found out that they can't arrest you in Oklahoma for a bad debt.  How sure are you that this is a scam?  I talked to two lawyers today and both advised me not to send the money.

I received another call this morning from Gary Thomas.  He advised me that I didn't send the money yesterday and I told him that under the FDCPA law I am entitled the original loan document.  He said the who and I again said the FDCPA.  He said okay we will send it to you, I told him to send it to the email address he has.  That was 1 hour ago and still nothing....no calls, no email.  Next time he calls I am going to inform him that he is fraud and to contact my attorney---Drew Edmonson (OK's attorney).  Just to add a little more to the previous post, I received 23 on my cell phone, 4 times at work, 1 time to my mother and 17 times to another work number for me.  I do believe this is harrasement....thank GOD for good friends who have their law degree....they will not receive a penny from me.

***Beware of Gary Thomas, Eric, Michael Sinclair, Gerry P. Hunt****  I received 3 more calls from them.  I told them that they hadn't sent the requested information and I told them that this was fraud and a scam.  I told them to not contact me by phone any more.  I told them all information had to go throught the US Postal service.  Below is the email they sent me.  I had requested the original loan document:

As per the conversation that we had towards a pay day loan resolvemnet this is a notification mail sent to you for the last time towards this issue.This loan was  given through PAY DAY CASH(lendor).The company after making numerous efforts to reach has now decided to persue further legal actions againts you.The totall amount at this moment that includes all the interest,penalty fees and other fees as per the contract is 810 $.After this no more attempts would me made towards resolvements.For resolvement do get back to us within next 24 hours.

 For further queries you can call our hotline number that is 646 461 3892.

Sincerely,

Got a call yesterday at my work place saying I owed 410 dollars for a payday advance from in july 2008.  Got threatened with legal action and 30 days jail time.  The mans name was Jerry Thomas, he had a very thick Indian accent.  He had my ssn and the names of two good friends of mine.  However i knew right away it was a scam, because it is against federal and state regulations for payday loan firms to lend money to military members.  Once confronted with this info, Jerry, tried telling me that someone else must have used my info and I will be held accountable still.

US Sailor---very smart.  I was told I owed the exact same amount from July 2008.  When I finally told him yesterday that according to FDCPA I was entitiled to the loan documents he had no clue who I was talking about.  WAY TO GO SAILOR--PS.  God bless you and Thank you

I just received a "Withheld" phone call today, they actually called twice in a row and then left a message.  The hard to understand Indian/Foreign accent named Dave Jones left a message stating I needed to contact him concerning a PayDay Loan.  Which is funny, because I have none outstanding or delinquent.  I know this is a scam as it happened to a friend of mine about a year ago and she contacted her local police department and was even told to go to the Federal Bureau of Investigators website and file a complaint.  I will not contact this person and if he contacts me again, I will report the number to my phone company to block.  I am so thankful for google!  When I am curious about a number it brings me here.

I recived a call form this number yesterday he said his name was eathen streets from department of transportation and theathened me with all kinds of legal fees,  if i didn't agree to pay  i would be arrested he had my ssn and all its scared the hell out of me   i reported it to my local police and i filed a fraud alert with the 3 credit bureas.....

I received several calls from unknown number so I finally answered it and a man named Micheal St. Clair non american man w/ accent and had my social security number and he threatened me that If I did not send him $4700.00 I would be put in jail for 30 days then he stated a different amount of $1680.00  told me the I owe for a payday loan from 2007 and have no idea . So I asked him who was it from he could not tell me. So he gave me his phone number and here is where I have ended up at.

Hey...... these people calling from INDIA, CHINA and other countries. where many many call centers are running for getting money from USA and UK citizens... ITS ALL SCAM... for running there business.

How it runs..........(for debt collection)

(A.) some people tries to get loan online on fack sites but could not succeed and their personal detail reached to site owners. which is sold by them to call centers at $4 to $6 / Person detail.

(B.) Some people really took loans and could not paid it back. so your information is provided to that call centers.

SO what actually they (Call Centers) do...

1. First they get all your detail from banks and some crooks. include: your name, social security number, address, employment detail, 2 refrences and a detail of any lumsum amount between 100$ to 300$.

2. they have USA UK number for their own (only for displaying).. they calls through various softwares (like: icall) by using headphones.

3. They makes a write up for leaving msg. like:-
"this message is intended for Mr. john.  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 sensetive. 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. if i don't get any call from you or from your attorney........ wish you good luck,
take care"

4. If you pick up phones... they threatens you by saying... that federal govt is falling lawsuit against you and your social security number. and try to remembrazed you that you took a pay day loan and never paid it back...They knows that you people living on loans itself, so it is very easy to threaten you that such company falling lawsuit against you for your unpaid loan( which actually not that loan which you took before) They usually ask for the amount more than they get in their list like.... near by 1245$ or according to clients voice (afraid or nervous)

5. they can tell u that they have sent u various mails to inform you but u never replied.

how to avoid them...

1. Say that you have an attorney. ( they can ask bankruptcy or criminal attorney) if u tell criminal they will say it won't work and ask for bankruptcy attorney. if you say bankruptcy they will say it won't work and ask for criminal attorney. give any number by saying "call to my attorney" they won't call.
2. Say that u know : Its ALL SCAM .......... they will hung up.
3. say that that is not my social security number... they will never call.
4. Ask for date of the loan taken...... they can't help you or can give u any fack date.( by which u can come to know about scam)

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... and i used to work with one of call center...... all indians are not same... you can send me mail for more detail:- jasusviju@gmail.com

Thanks and help people
