    I received a call on my cell from 662-332-8974. I let it roll to voicemail. A heavily accented (Indian or Pakistani) male introduced himself as Matthew Costigan and left a message including the callback number 917-284-9294.

    He said he was from the legal department of Fidelity Consolidation and there were charges pending against me from 3 companies. Added it was urgent and I should call him back before something bad happens to me.

    I looked up both numbers and found that the 917 number has been linked to scams.

    I called the 917 # back from a land line with a blocked number. The same man answered with “How can I help you?” Did not give his name or a company name. I hung up without saying a word.

    I called the 662 #, it is a disconnected number.

    Several years ago I looked into debt consolidation loans. I am assuming he got my info from there. I am concerned with just how much information he has, however I do not want to call back and speak with him.

    I rec'd a call from this number as well.  They stated that there was a major legal matter and charges were going to be filed if I didn't pay off this debt.  nTold me it was from a United cash Services ... for a loan that never was paid back.  They told me it was from 9/09 but could not give me any numbers or details about this "loan".  I had a big feeling it is a scam... I do not have any loans that r not being paid back..... This callers name is Shawn Watson...........

    @ Anon; I recieved a call from same number but his name was Malik Brown to one of my contacts and Darlyl Brown to the other. He was calling from Elite Consolidated.When I called back went straight to voicemail with not company name and mailbox was full. What company keeps a full mailbox and never checks their messages???

When I asked what company the loan came from 3 different people gave me 3 different names Cash advance USA, Advance Casu USA, and Cash Advance America. When I called back to ask him for traceable info that I can submit to the FTC he hung up in my face an told me he would remove my # from their database.

    I have been receiving calls from this # 9172849294 also.  They have all my information and it is scarry! I They have and Indian accent. They say I owe on a loan, but when I ask for more information, they can give me none.  I reported this to my local sheriff's dept.  They are quite harrassing and threatening.  I wonder how many people that they scare into paying them!

    I knew it was a scam and told them to stop calling me 4 months ago. they have now resulted in calling my job and dialing random extensions and telling everyone i owe a loan. i now have everyone in my office thinking i scammed some company out of their money.

    LOL Just happened to me and I am glad i looked this up before calling them back. I spoke to "Max" and got the same message that I had defaulted on a pay day loan that had been done online. When I asked for information and his name and the name of his "law firm" he got nasty and then hung up on me

    I just got a call from Shane Waston. He said I owed 600 for a pay day loan. He had an accent of Indian or Pakastani descent. He gave me his permit number  NYCP00130. I don't know what any of this means. He said he worked for federal headquarters and I was going to be sued. When I asked if he worked for the government he said, "Yep." He had my brother's name and my father's name, very scary stuff.  He gave me the same number to call of 9172849294. I asked him what his address was and he said, "Why should I answer any of your questions?" He hung up on me. He said he was calling on behalf of Cash Advance USA.

    Two of my friends received phone calls from that number saying that I was in huge trouble from something that I did on the internet - that if they did not call him back they could be in trouble too. I used their names on a job application on line. He had an accent from India or something like that.

    I don't know who to report this to, but I am going to start with our local police.

    Same thing here - said I owed Cash Advance USA - never used a company named that.  I found out this number is listed as scam all over internet.  Last time he called me I texted him and told him I called District Attorney and FBI, which I did.  If someone falls for it, they can trace the payment, but most people don't fall for it. They're RUDE and quite unconvincing as "law firm."  Its almost laughable if it weren't truly irritating and horrible crime.  I hope they get caught.

    These guys are running a scam!!!!!. Once I figured out what they were doing, I decided to keep calling them back to have some fun. They were so upset I kept calling that they eventually hung up on me! hahahhaha!!! DO NOT believe anything they say. They hide behind american names to try and fool you with heavy Indian accents. My advice would be to call them back and talk smart like asking for their address (since they call from India and route the calls with U.S area codes to make it look like they're calling from the U.S) and ask for superiors. SOOO MUCH FUN!!!

    I received a call today stating my brother used my name and is involved in some sort of internet fraud. Kinda funny since my brother is 75 years old and doesn't know how to use a computer. Besides why would someone with a very very heavy Indian/Pakastani accent be named Francis Wright. HA! This is a scam. just ignore it and keep on going with your life. If they call again tell them you have contacted the FBI. They will leave you alone after that.
