Said i was an emergency contact and it was urgent i call them back. BS!!!

It's a  scam,  they  are  trying  to  threaten  you.  They  say you  will  go  to  jail  for a  old  debt. Just  hang  up  on  them!!!

Called two times and said he got this number as an emergency contact through the state.

They called several memebers of my family saying there was a warrant for my arrest, I was a part of a federal investigation, and even left me a message saying my numbe rwas listed and an emergency contact for me???? Seems like way too much disclosed personal information to be valid.

Got a call from my dad who said they called him and told me to call Stacy Poole with Client Affairs in Orlando, FL. Said this was regarding an old payday loan and that if I did not come up with the money in 30 mins that I wold go to jail for 120 days and it would be un-bondable. They had a date for the loan but an address from 6 years before that. Nothing matched up but since I don't even have a parking ticket on my record I was an emotional wreck. Luckily my fiance could be level headed and works in a business that has a payday loan business attached. He spoke with the owner who did some research and found they were a scam. He assured me I wasn't going to jail and to ignore them.

Got a phone call from "Dan" (no last name given) who left a message saying I was "listed as an emergency contact" and it was urgent I call him back. I took the bait and lo and behold it was an attempt from a "law office" to collect a debt. When I asked why a law office would be collecting a debt, the supervisor "Tammy" said something to the effect of "wait a minute, I never said we were attempting to collect." "Tammy" also said they were about to file a "felony warrant" for my arrest over a "fraudulent check" that I allegedly wrote in 2009, to a payday loan company (Check 'n Go).

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act making threats to have you arrested is ILLEGAL. Know your rights.....

http://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaki ... ctices-act-text

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?

Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
* use threats of violence or harm;
* publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
* use obscene or profane language; or
* repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

Debt collectors may not:
* give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
* send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
* use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
* try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
* deposit a post-dated check early;
* take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
* contact you by postcard.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
* falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
* falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
* falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
* misrepresent the amount you owe;
* indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
* indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
* you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
* they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
* legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.

I got a call from Eli Barry and another family member got a call from Tammy Larson (we are not sure if these are their real names because debt collectors use alias names). After some research, we have been able to determine that they are processing collections for Cashnet. The representatives on the phone have confirmed that they are a law firm but will not give the actual name of the firm. They represent themselves as Client Affairs Processing P.O Box 1421 Orlando FL 32855. They will call your home and your cell phone if they have this information- which is easily assessable on the internet. When this happened to me, I filed a complaint with the FTC. You don’t have to have any proof when you file the complaint...just give them as much information as you have.
I recorded the conversation then attached the voice recording and a picture of my caller ID showing that they called both my home and phone. Then I filed a complaint with the FTC and used those items as proof.
PLEASE PLEASE file a complaint with the FTC, regardless if you have any evidence. This company is violating FTC rules! I understand that business have a right to collect a debt using legal means but this agency is using wording that could lead a reasonable person to believe that they are representing law enforcement or a federal criminal agency...which at the very least is skating on the very, very thin edge of the FTC law. This group must be stopped before someone is seriously hurt.

update: The FTC website will direct you to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

I received a call from this number on the home phone and didn't answer. Then I received a call on my cell phone and didn't answer. A few minutes later my Dad calls and said someone called and said I had 2 felony warrants for my arrest.So I called them back and they answered the phone unprofessionally. I said how dear you call my family with this bs. and they hung up on me. So I called back and asked what this was regarding and yet was hung up on again. I tired calling several more times getting only a machine saying no one is available to answer your call.

This number just called my brother and told him I need to get in touch with them because they will prosecute me at noon today. When I called the number they said they were processing.

These people are disgusting human beings and need to be stopped! They give B.S. information using the same dialogue with everyone they call. God forbid you call them back and call them out on their scam. I did that and they told me "I pissed the wrong person off" and 5 minutes later I get a call from my ex-husband who I haven't been in contact with for over 10 years asking me what the hell is going on. Apparently, you piss them off and they contact anyone and everyone connected to you. You need to file a complaint with the police dept. in the state they're calling from. Can you imagine if a child answered the phone and they start telling them their mom is going to jail. WTF is wrong with these people?!!?  I even went as far as calling the company they said they're representing and THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM!! DO NOT VOLUNTEER ANY INFORMATION TO THEM!!

I called this company back and called them on their scam. They don't even state the company name when you call them It's creepy!! Their response to me when I called them "you pissed off the WRONG PERSON!" If that's not bad enough, they decided to start calling my ex-husbands wife and harassing her. Telling her that she "was on my contact information". These people are deceitful, disgusting excuse for human beings! They won't even let her get a word in edge wise so she can give them my correct contact information, which is EASILY available to them, if I truly had a debt with them. SO BEWARE, you piss them off, they start attacking people you haven't talked to in over 10 years and to scare you into falling  for their crap. I WILL NOT BACK DOWN!!!

The person identified as Chris Howard was almost the biggest ass I have spoken to yet from scam phone callers.  They said I was listed as an emergency contact person for some who shares the same last name as I on my home phone and that I needed to return the call immediately.  This individual put some effort into reaching me because I spoke to him from my cell phone, which by the way, has a different area code earlier today and when I said I didn't know that person, he said he would notify the authorities.  So, I redialed the number and he asked who he said he was looking for and then wanted the numbers.  He got indignant when I told him he called me and should know. He said he would leave the numbers in there and call every 7 days.  

These two so called people named Stacie Poole and Chris Howard will get your information then call you about a past bill in your name saying you have to send them money gram or you will have a warrant for your arrest.I talked to business buerea and my attorney finding out this number and these two people are a SCHEME!!!!!

Called family members saying I owe a payday loan from 2011 and I was being charged with a felony check fraud. Also said I had 30mins to call back or I would b arrested

I was contacted by this so called company Client Affairs or something of that nature,  saying that 2 counts of federal charges would be brought upon me for a check that I allegedly wrote in 2010 to Check n Go. A Chris Howard called me and transferred me to a Stacy Poole I asked her if the documents can be faxed to me about this situation I told her it sounded fishy and very unethical  she quickly  became upset and said I will just forward everything to the sheriff’s office and she wished me good luck. I then googled the phone number and realized like the rest of you that it was a scam!  I was a little terrified in the beginning!

Thank you we just recieved the same call same information you said and he wanted the money while he was still on the phone with me

They are now using another number 844-707-7288.  Called my cell phone and left message that I was listed as an emergency contact for my daughter.  I immediately called my daughter to see if she was ok because I had a feeling this was a scam.  I then returned their call. I questioned who they were and where they were calling from.  Flustered them. Client Services and Processing was the answer, Ashley.  When I refused to answer their questions, they threatened to call the authorities because I was not cooperating. I told them to go ahead because this was a scam and the authorities need to be notified.  lol   Now home see they have called my home phone 4 times, when return their call there is an voice mail stating no one available to take call.
My daughter had this scam earlier and they are very convincing.  I plan to file complaint with FTC - thanks for that advice.

I got a call this morning at work from tammy what should I do and what are my rights ?
