6612706408

I got the call from "Jack Smith" 747-333-6281, 0000 and unknown. They did give me an address of 8888 Olympic Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 92503...yeah right.I called them back for 4 hours just to mess with them. Called them every name in the book and told them that the sheriffs office on willow drive has been notified and they are coming to get them....everything stopped til yesterday then got a call from the investigator....also Jack Smith.  They really think im freakin stupid....come on. I filed a report with my local sheriffs office.... this is so widespread that when i did call beverly hills athorities, the dispatcher said her husband is getting these calls too.... seriously, the fbi needs to do something.

9796654851 said something about paydaycash as website legal issues kroger legal associates

I received the same call from randolph rodrigues that is how he told me his name was spelled and that his firm was located in irvine city california from kroger legal that I had received 350 dollars deposited into my account and that the sherrif would be at my house if I did not send the above mentioned amount by western union or pay by credit card to insta cash. Same ordeal all around I suppose and I hope someone sees that it is happening a lot and puts and end to all this.

Okay, so this is what I have learned: The address that "Kroger Legal Associates" gives (8888 West Olympic Blvd suite 150 Beverly Hills CA 90903) is for a Kroger, William S, Attorney. Googled him and got a website and phone number. Called it and spoke to AN AMERICAN! He informed me that this is a scam and that CA tech crimes division is looking into it. He also told me that they contacted them and played the part of a contacted party. When they tried to get account info so they could set up a payment plan, they were told that they needed a photo copy of their credit card along with pin number (you know the things they tell you to never give out?). In the end, this is a con. Don't stress and don't give them anything!

Here is what is posted on the FBI website about this scam.  I too have gotten the same calls and what worries me is that they know my SS number, etc.  Here is what the FBI websites says about this:

Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

12/01/2010—The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check cashing services.

One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The method by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim’s relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt.

These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller.

If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:

   * Contact your banking institutions;
   * Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
   * Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
   * File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Same exact situation has been happening to me. I am very worried because this man has all of my information, including my ssn. I know this is completely fraudulant, but there is no telling what they can do once they have all that information. This started happening after I applied for a payday loan online. I'm wondering if maybe it is the employee of this payday company that stole my information and sold it to these Arabs. I can't figure out how else he could of gotten all of this information abput me. Has anyone else recieved a loan through "Quick Click Loans" and had these same things happen to them? I'm not trying to devalue this company in any way. I have talked to them about this situation.
They were able go back and tell me the man's name that processed my application and of course he is no longer with that company. If this all leads back to the same company maybe we can catch this jerk that is harrasing us. And when I say harrass I mean he threatened to come to my house and hurt me after I called him a fraud. So if anyone has any information please post it, so we can get to the bottom of this.

I just received a call and the number showed up on my phone as 000. I sent the call directly to my voice mail. The person that left the message had a heavy foreign accent all I could make out was that I would be arrested. after listening to the message 4 times I could finally make out the phone number. I called and the person said it was Kroger law Firm I asked to speak to the person that left the message "Ashley" but they never connected me to her. I did speak with a man that would not tell me his name and he read me a affidavid that said I took out multiple payday loans and never paid them back. I di in fact try to take out a payday loan but the funds were never transferred to my account (pre-paid visa card). i aksed him for the name of the company that he was representing and he said it was InstaCash, so I asked for the company's information and he couldnt give it to me he went on to say that a case was being downlaoded in my state and the Sherrif would be at my house to serve me with papers. I hung up and called them back and asked for their information (law firm) so that I could look them up to make sure the phone call was legit and I was constantly put on hold, after I told them that I was reading on the internet about this call being a scam he just hung up in my face.

I got a call from 626-587-8931. Michelle left the message stating I was facing criminal charges for check fraud and something else. I called back and got "Michael" he read some affadavit saying the same thing. When I asked him who the original debtor was he told me American Payday. I asked for a phone number for American Payday and he insisted that he could not give it to me. When I asked what the name of his company he said it was Kroger Legal Associates. I googled this and found a lawyer in Beverly Hills called his office and was told it is deffinately a scam!!!

they said the same thing to me. I have done alot of research and its a scam....

What did the FBI say?  I am having the same problems with these people and they need to be stopped!  They have my ssn and my bank info

I have gotten 15 calls from these people and you can hardly understand them. It shows up 0000 on the caller id and they leave a number to call 661-270-6408 said I am being sued for a payday loan that I never received. I called them back and they told me that I was going to jail today because I never paid back the loan. I told Brian Jackson that I would be going to my bank and getting my bank statements for all year and seeing my attorney and when it comes out that they where suing me for something that did not happen I was suing them. They have not called back yet. I will not fall for these scams. I work to hard for my money just like everyone else and they do not work for their money they scam people out of their hard earned money it makes me sick. They need to go back to Iran or Iraq..

Yes i am getting these calls also. Does anyone have any dealings with USAA ?  I'm just asking because maybe they hacked their system. Or maybe a wire transfer ?

ok....mr.johnson called me and was very threatening.. i got freaked out because he was leaving me voice messages for the past few months and i always delete them...but this time i was home and answered and he was so rude and very threatening to arrest me... but im not an american..im a russian and nobody messes with russians...so i gave him my piece of mind...telling him  hes no american and to drop the bs pakistani or whatever the hell you are...nothing against that culture but i was against that pakistani or indian scam [***]. ooo i went off saying that im reporting him to FBI and he hung up....i called back like 5 times and gave all the [***] that answered a piece of my mind....and threatened everyone of them that answered...After i called 911 and reported it to which the dispatcher told me to contact my state attorney..or somthing like that...which i will do in morning....but they scared the crap out of me....at first until i realized by calling back and asking for an american...and insulting them back and when all the pakistanis could not find an american they just kept hanging up....i made up the same accent that they had and teased the thru out the night.....gave me some pleasure actually to bother the hell out of them....dumbasses

Got a call saying that I got a loan that I did not pay back. They had the last four of my social, but I didn't confirm it. Seems like a scam to me.

I spoke to Randolph Rodriguez and exposed him as not only a scammer but also a complete and total moron. He speaks with the worst sounding American accent. I asked him where he was calling from and he told me "Irvine City" which he spelled as "Irve. Even though I called a "619" area code which is a San Diego area code, a city he had never heard of.

I kept telling me that he was having difficuly hearing me even though I was talking loudly and clearly, which lead me to believe he was deaf or pretending to be as a way to avoid answering any questions I had.  After I questioned him about a similar call I received, he hung up on me. I called him back and pestered him for hanging up the phone on me.

I got call from this guy name Steve Johnson saying that he is a lawyer and I have a case against me, sound like he's india. So I ignore him cause he done took money from my accout. I don't know how he got my account number and routing number but he got it an prainted fake checks with my account on it. Imy account went negative 350 he took over 4000 of mine. My bank is so [***] up they file a dispute on it and at the end the bank stop cause they he said that he know me and I gave home the information to do it. Fresno credit union never apply there that bank is so [***] up.

I received a call at my job stating that due to me not responding to a serious matter after several attempts to reach me, they were turning the case to their attorney and she wished me luck in the case that I am about to face. The name she left is Jennifer Williams (she sounded like she is Indian)and the phone number that she had contacted me from is (619) 292 -8273.
An Indian lady answered the phone and when I asked what company have I contacted, she had informed me it Kroger Legal Associates acting on behalf of a payday loan that I had failed to pay and is in the process to be turned in to the law enforcement agency who will come by my job to pick me up for the fraud that I had committed. When I asked for more details, she had to put me on hold to get the rest of my documents. The music that was playing while she puts me on hold was some type of really fast beat Indian music. I was on hold for several minutes before she returned and apologize that she had another call that came in while looking for my document (yeah right).
When she returned, she asked that I listed as she reads the affidavit. I told her that I will have my attorney to contact her regarding this matter. She the asked me if my attorney handles bankruptcy or criminal cases. I told her that my attorney handles everything for me and my family. When I called my attorney regarding this matter, he immediately contacted them. My attorney assured me that this is a SCAM and that these people are just using threat tactics to get the people to believe that they will be in deep trouble and for them to give them payment information immediately. My attorney told me that they will not be contacting me anymore especially after the conversation that they had. The so called Kroger Legal Associates supervisor (also Indian) refused to send the documents to my attorney and said he would only send it directly to me. My attorney asked that I contact the credit bureau immediately to report identity theft.

The Same thing has happened to me but the phone numbers show up as 6617313249, 0000, and unavailable. the guy who called me told me he was Roger Jones, One other time he told he was Joe Mathis, and then Richard. The guy said he was calling from Kroger Legal Associates and that They were calling and telling that i borrowed a loan from payday loans on July 8, 2011 and that if i want to "Resolve this matter" i need to go to the court house and fax him a paper saying that in willing to "relosve this matter" by paying $454.32 He never gave me the information to where i need to fax this informaton. I was freaked out cause supposedly they are coming to my house Wednesday (which is tomorrow) to arrest me and serve me with papers cause the Payday Loans is sueing me and when i get to court if i "Plead Guilty" i have to pay more than $8,000 to leave the court house. I am calling my bank to talk to them about getting my card number changed they know where i bank, my ss# my address, email, phone number and where i work everything. They have already called my work. Someone needs to get to the bottom of this it is ridiculous  that random people are getting threatening calls just cause these people are trying to scam us out of money

Same Stuff here....Same pitch....I owe 1600.00 on a past loan and will be in big trouble if i dont pay immed....HAHA!!! But I played stupid and went along like I was afraid and very naive...So After telling them I would "of course" pay what is owed, i was transfered to the "accountant departmet" where a Mr. Rex jayson was the man to give me the info I needed to "pay off the loan, so as not to wind up in trouble"....So, I said I would Western Union the funds IMMED -I just needed the information on where to send the $$...

I Got the Information of a ****************GERALDINE WHITE in NEWARK, NJ.*******************

After he gave me this information, and really thought I was heading out to WU on the spot, it was then Then I told good old Rex that I would be going down to the Western Union right away, with all the information he gave me:
1 - Call from 661-270-6408 leaving me a threatning message to contact them immed or I would be in jail soon
2- Spoke to Rex Jason, and he informed me I had to pay 1600.00 - and to clear the matter I would send the $$ via. Western Union to a GERALDINE WHITE in NEWARK, NJ....

and then after I got to Western union, and got a witness from the service person - I would then take this info directly to the authorities because of their deeds!! And told him I played him like a jerk to the end and palyed dumb to see how far I could get.....He was very aggitated and was screaming :YOU CANT SO THAT" . . . I replied, watch me....

Soooo, I don't know if this helps in anyway - but getting the name of GERALDINE WHITE in NEWARK, could be a piece of the puzzle the authorites could use to snatch these scumbags!!! I really played it like I was very scarred and naieve and just wanted to pay wahtever it was off to make it right! He thought I was a sucker and even gave me the name of the  "personal accountant, Geraldine Whie / Newark" so Geraldine would take the funds and clear the matter!  

So to you all, I hope this information may help in any cases or leads the authorities are working on - and I hope someone will mabe take this info I got from this prick and just maybe, it would help in the entire case.....I knew he thought I was a fool, and gave me a personal contact name/place....and was quite upset when I blew his cover!!! So maybe, hopefully, there is a piece of the puzzle needed to hang these [***]!!!
