A heavily accented person left a message on my voice-mail saying if I don't pay him $5,000 in loans that I owe he'll have the police pick me up Monday.Scary part is he called my work and left my hole social on the answering machine.

Hello

They are calling my old boss from 2 years ago stating that i owe them money and wanted my boss to confirm my social security number and to tell them my new address. SCAM SCAM SCAM

Heavy accent male who asked and had my correct name, social security number, home address, place I work and my direct line to work. He said he was sending policemen to my job to pick me up and take me to jail if I didn't pay them immediately. A company called Quick Cash payday loans was suing me for $658. I tried to explain that I didn't know anything about this and why hadn't I been notified. He said he had sent me many emails but could not send through the postal service cause it's illegal. I hung up and he said ge was filling out paperwork for police to arrest me. I called my bank and there was never any deposit from anybody by this name. When I called the number back the guy said if I could pay $300  then that would take care of my account and then they would find the person who stole my identity and they would get $5000.00 of which I would get a part of this. Then he came down to if I would pay $150 or anything he could close out my account. I hung up. Scam Alert

My husband too received a threatening phone call from David Walker (716) 362-8992 stating he took a pay day loan out for like $400 and they were going to send the cops to our house and pick my husband up at 11am tomorrow if we didn't pay the balance.  They tried to validate our home address but would not tell us any information on the supposed debt.  The man was heavy accented and started yelling at my husband before hanging up on him.

I called the number back to try to obtain more information on the company calling us and the lady answered "Hello."  She told me her name was Stacy but clearly with her accent she was not white.  She would not even talk to me unless I told her my name.  When I told her I was going to make a police report, she told me to do what I have to do and to go to "Hell."  

My husband then called back to play nice to find out more information regarding this company.  The person told him he was calling ACS (a law office).  They transferred him at least 3 times before someone would talk with him.  Once they did talk the guy yelled at my husband for saying his telephone number too fast when his computer wouldn't work.  He told my husband that he was "flat refussing" to pay the debt and they would send the cops.  The guy ended up yelling at my husband again before hanging up on us again.  This man too had a heavy accent.

We contacted our local police station.  They did inform us that they are not going to come and arrest my husband due to a collection call.  Most likely this was a scam.

Upon arriving at work this morning had a threatenting vm from a man with a heavy accent.  Call originated from 611-876-6067.  He stated his name was Steve Austin (6 million dollar man?) and that if I did not get in touch with him by the next day the police would come and hawl me off to jail for 12 - 24 month prison term.  SCAM................. I have received these types of calls before and at that time they called 20 -30 times a day.  I finally answered the call and said that they needn't waste their time, that I knew this was a scam and I was not paying them anything.

I kept receiving  threatening phone call from Andrew Williams private caller would come up on my caller I, but he would leave (716) 362-8992. Also with the number he requested that I or my attorney should call back as soon as I get the message and if I did not that I will be taken to court and wish me the best of luck and for the case finding the court house. When saying that it was in a rude and nasty manner. When I called back a Jeffrey Stuat answered the phone when I explanted to him what had happen he told me that I would not receive another call back from Andrew Williams.

After talking to him I tried to get any information I could about my so called debt and the company but he could not even give me my own account number for my so called account. When I ask him if he could give me the number or transfer to the department that could he told me that he could not do that it is a privacy matter and they can not give out info like that. Then he hung up on me I called back and he told me the he was removing me from out of court settlement he hung up again. I tried yet again to call back and he nasty with me and told me that he would see me in court or to call back when I could pay the full amount which was due by fri 7-30-10. Then he told me that he was going to block my number so I could not call back and hung up on me. I tried yet again to call back and he blocked my number.

I received a call from a heavily accented gentleman that said I owed money for some payday loan. He had the last 4 of my social and my sister's first and last name. He said that he sent me an email but the email address he had was incorrect. He then stated that he was going to call the police and have me arrested - that too is not true. I asked him to send me something via mail and he refused. I did a reverse search on the number - not listed. I am not sure how he got the last four of my social but this is a scam!!! I checked my bank account - no deposits.

Um, they called me and told me the last 4 of mine. But quiet as kept, you can not get arrested for a debt you owe. Don't worry!

Not only can't they arrest you.  It's illegal for them to threaten you with it!  Also, they are required by law to send you confirmation of the debt within 5 days of the first contact and they must send you a debt validation letter within 30 days if you request it.

They are violating all of these Fair Debt Collection Practices laws and need to be reported.  Report them to the FTC at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/.  Also report them to your State's Attorney General.

Or if you live in WI, report them to the WI Dept of Financial Institutions.  The online complaint form is at http://www.wdfi.org/contact_us/complaint.asp.

These people will keep doing this to you an to others unless you take the time to report them!  Don't ignore debt collectors who abuse you.  Don't just post here about how they are scam artists.  If a debt collector breaks the law, make them suffer for it!

I received a call from the same type - a heavy accent demanding that I pay some amount to some payday loan place that I have never even heard of.  I have never gotten a payday loan.  I told them that I would be contacting a lawyer about this and that they needed to provide this on paper otherwise it is illegal for them to call me and harass me.  They refused to send a letter and kept saying how they were picking me up today at 11am.  Yah okay... whatever... no one ever picked me up.  I told them to try picking me up.. especially since I knew they were using a fake number dialing in from an international backdoor number.  Don't let these people take advantage of you. He even called my work and harassed me there.  The only thing that I can think of to get rid of him is to change my number.  Since he lives in a different country what can we possibly do?
