I recieved a call from this number on 4/7/09 at 10.30 am I did not answer and no one left a message .within a 20 second period folllowing the call i then recieved 2 calls from an unknown number no message was left on these calls either.

A female with mid eastern accent left a message with some code ending in "D" and left a "direct line" number to call her back which was different in regards to whatever it is. She made threatening statements and I was stunned when she mentioned 2 people I know and said "even they will be in deep trouble if you do not respond" then ended with "have a blessed day". Naming 2 people I know really shook me. I haven't spoken to either one of these people for awhile..over 2 years in one case but the fact they had their names is kinda scary. Whoever they are I don't give a dam...but it's the others I fear for...MFOs gonna die if I get em...

I have receive harrassing telephone calls informing that a law suit is pending against me that have not provided with any proof and have been demanding payment stating if I don't I will be arrested or a law suit will be pending against me.

I have received harrassing telephone calls from this telephone number stating that if I don't make a payment I will be subject to a law suit and have to go to jail.

I have received several telephone calls from this telephone number stating that a lawsuit is pending against me along with identifying one person I know which is shocking. Another gentle men gets on the telephone as if he is trying to help. I am continually threatened with a law suit filed against me and they know I don't have a criminal record but continue to demand payment by credit card or debit card. When I ask them to connect with the person who is charging me with this they tell me that they cannot give me this information and that they want the payment made by credit card in order to have a record. Both representatives are of indian descent when they call me on my cellphone.

I have received several telephone calls from this number listed above along with the other following numbers 6262595565, 4022980466, 9419718518,6023872084,9048630214, all stating that they are calling on behalf of American Credit Services and a law suit is pending against me along with identifying a friend of mine. They have been demanding payment to settle out of court to avoid me being arrested and that they know I don't have a criminal record. This is very disturbing because when they are contacting me I am either at work, on the way home, or at home. They try to make it seem like they are trying to work with me to avoid any charges.

I have recieved 14 calls from this number today, 10 in the last 45 minutes."Gary Smith" was the latest to call, said that the case was going to the Superior Court in Cali (I am in Mass) Would not give me any info on WHO was demanding payment. They had the last 4 of my social, and said they knew my address. I asked for a supervisor during one of the calls, could not get any info , and hung up. Number given on machine to call back is different from the one on my ID(714-783-2240)

Keep calling saying he was from Financial Misconduct Dept. and something about a law office and its a legal matter.  Called from 585-919-0331 and said his name was John Matthews, mean while does not sound American at all, and says to call back 904-239-3963

i spoke to the FTC today and documented the threating phone calls i have been recceiving.  they advised me to obtain a valid mailing address and send these guys regsiterred mails.  asking them to forward and details relating to these matters be sent to me in hard copy. also, writing ask them to stop these phone calls, which is a violation to the debt collection laws.  if these calls continues after i received confirmation that they have received my letters. the ftc will investigate these guys for for violating best practice laws.

now that realized these basterds are scam artists, i have decided to have fun with them too.  i call them periodically and bs or just hang up. i have free minutes on my cell anyway.

i received these same calls from a 'Don Wilson' stating I had serious charges against me & if I didn't make a payment an investigation officer will come to my home or job. DO NOT PAY THEM! They call from this number and have you call back 202-629-9367.  File complaints with the FBI & Federal Trade Commission! If you have voicemails call your Police Dept!! DO NOT PAY THEM! NO ONE WILL COME TO YOUR JOB OR HOME!!  YOU CANNOT BE ARRESTED- YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!!

I received a call today form a guy (don't remember his name?) stating that he was calling from American Credit Services. he said that he needed my attorneys contact info. I asked him for an account number or documentation, he said he didn't have any but that the would be proceeding tommorrow morning at 11:00pm(hense the tommorrow morning at 11pm part!!!!!) I hung up when I determained how absolutely stupid he was. He did a a very heavy accent, may have been idian, but I am not sure. Then he had the nerve to call me back and said that I should not have hung up because the call was being traced. I hung up again and immediately got 2 voicemails form them. When I called the number back, the number (of course) is disconnected.  Don't give these people any info.

Got a call from this number.  The guy had an indian accent and was aksing for company information so he could update our free yellow pages listing.  When I aksed him which company he said he was from Key Secure for online yellow pages listings.  I asked him for a website to show me this listing and he would not give me one and finally hung up.

Call came from a phone bank in India, claiming they were from yellowpages.com trying to update/verify our business listing in the Yellow Pages. But they acted like a SCAM!

They rattled off our company's mailing address and phone number (all of which anyone could easily find online). And then they wanted me to "verify" the company listing by recording various bits of MY personally identifiable information! They wanted the proper spelling of MY first and last name, MY birthday, and a recording of me saying the word "yes" to some laundry list of terms that was said way too fast for anyone to follow. But I did hear one phrase that raised red flags: "calling plan".

When I repeatedly said that I was not interested in any new contracts or services, they got testy with me and insisted that I just say "yes". The more I pressed, the more evasive they acted and the more they told me to say "yes", so I hung up.

They keep calling back and won't stop harassing us. Sounds like a scam to me.

I got a call from these idiots today.  I answered and they asked for my husband but severely mispronounced his name.  I told him there was nobody here by that name.  Then he wanted to know if my number was a business so I said no it's a residence and to take my number off their list.  I told hom that I couldn't understand his thick Indian? accent and hung up.  He called right back from another number and started again.  I said look I already told you there was nobody here by that name then he tells me he would have the person who gave that number arrested.  Please, if they call back I'm giving the phone to the baby to talk to them.

Got multiple calls today from same people, all of which showed up as "External call Unknown number" except this one that shows the number.  These are bill collectors with heavy foreign accents who keep calling my workplace looking for someone I don't know who hasn't worked here for at least 3-4 years (apparently she had my number before I came to work here).  Since the office doesn't have call block, unfortunately, I answer only about every fifth call and yell at them.  The rest of the calls I send straight to my voice mail. They don't leave a message.  I strongly suggest that anyone getting these calls just ignore them, these people are harassing.

I got a call from this number I did get the phone this was calling from colombia sauth america he said it was at pay phone in colombia he ask to speak with his cousin nancy

These people are SCAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked for their BBB# and they couldn't give that to me. They are full of BS.. don't deal with these people they are full of [***].

Unfortunately, a scam related to payday lending has emerged in the past few months. This is not merely lenders overcharging for their product.
Instead, a criminal enterprise is using information obtained about payday
loan customers to ROB people. The scam has been reported on ABC News and
in other media, several regulatory agencies are investigating and we
receive several calls a day from people targeted by these scammers.
United Pay (4494 Southside Ave., Apt. 203, Jacksonville, FL 32216-5484;
904-565-1924 (among others), FEIN - 223443840) or "TUPS" is the focal point of the collection process. The company is owned by Piyush and Shreya Patel who use the Jacksonville address as their home address. However, the collectors all work for a subcontracted call center in Ahderabad, India, call Innovations Infocom. The call centers are connect through VOIP technology that (a) causes a U.S. phone number to appear in their victims' caller ID's and (b) allows them to leave U.S. call-back numbers (including toll-free numbers) that automatically forward to India. Payments made go to either a Western Union account in Florida or a credit card processing account, both of which we believe are controlled by the Patels.Originally, this was a straight, if obscenely unprofessional, collections effort regarding loans made by certain lenders based in the Kansas City, KS area. The companies hired the Patels to collect on their delinquent loans and, in order to do so, provided them with all of the borrower's pertinent details. This included copies of subprime credit reports from entities like Teletrack and CL Verify that included all of the borrower's loans with OTHER lenders.Collectors pretend to be federal agents, bank examiners and other powerful people and threaten immediate legal action and/or arrest unless the borrower immediately paid somewhere between 3 and 4 times the original loan amount. Calls would be made 20 or more times per day to the same borrower, along with his/her employer, co-workers and references. Profanity is common place and even physical threats are not unheard of. For the most part these collection efforts are unsuccessful.  Most people realize that the FBI does not collect $300 loans. Even if they did, the educational requirements and oral assessments necessary for entry into the Bureau would have barred nearly all of the collectors involved in this scam from entry.In fact, the collection effort continues only because that one person in twenty that fell for the scam pays so much that it is worth it to the organizers to keep it in play. By purchasing delinquent loans, United Pay and innovations Infocom come into possession of the confidential information of tens of thousands of Americans.Because these consumers "owe" on at least one loan, collectors are able to convince borrowers they are in serious civil and criminal trouble over that delinquent account. Collectors call and pretend to represent the "Financial Crimes Investigation Unit" Although they occasionally identify the original lender, more often they claim the debt in question is from 2006 or earlier, to convince the victim he or she may have forgotten about an old loan balance. The scammers claim "an affidavit has been filed" and demand immediate payment of hundreds or even thousands of dollars to avoid arrest and imprisonment.In one recent variation of the scam, they claimed to be acting on behalf of a California attorney. However, they refuse to give the name and the "Bar ID" number they will give does not correspond to any attorney listed with the California Board of Bar Examiners. Even more ridiculous, the number they give for the "attorney" is one we KNOW connects to the Indian call center and they even answer it "U.S.National Bank" rather than as a law office.But the worst is yet to come. The person that gets scared and pays will be contacted again within weeks with more demands.  Why? Because this is no longer about resolving debts. It is about "plucking a pigeon" to borrow an old-fashioned phrase. Payment only encourages them to continue the scam. At least one person we know of has been bilked of over $4000. 1) If a caller cannot speak English properly, he or she is not an FBI or other law enforcement agent. But,pretending to be one is a serious crime. Hang up and call the REAL police. Feel free to share any and all of this information with the appropriate law enforcement agency. 2) These callers are not representing the companies they claim to be collecting for. Threatening imprisonment to recover an unlawful debt is extortion. This felony should be reported to the REAL police. 3) Unless you used someone else's identity to obtain a payday loan on the internet, YOU CANNOT BE IMPRISONED FOR NOT PAYING ONE. We do not have debtors prisons in America and the FBI has better things to do than act as a private collection agency. Again, this is harassment and should be reported to the REAL police. 4) Even if these were actual debt collection efforts, making outlandish threats like these is automatically a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Consumer lawyers will take FDCPA cases on a contingency fee so you need not worry about having money to pay a lawyer. If you are harassed - SUE THEM! The collectors may be in India, but the money is right here with the Patels.
