Good advice...I'm so glad someone is not taking this sitting down...after I told the guy I was recording our conbversation his tone changed...he told me to 'shove the bug up my ass'...of course I'm paraphrasing because his English was poor...anyhow, when Mike Davis called back I told him I had contacted my attourney who told me this company was all over the internet as a scam...he exploded and demanded i give him the name and number for my attourney...how dare he bad claim this company was a scam...he then told me my wife was all over the internet Fxxxing people, etc...my attourney has a close friend at the Attourney General's office and apparently in California they are close to executing an arrest warrant against them...keep you posted...

I am soooooooooo glad they are about to arrest these people, the called me so many times, called my work, telling a coworker that I had legal charges against my ss number and left numerous messages on my phone. Even had my husband thinking I had taken out a payday loan behind my back. I hope they get the maximum punishment!!!

Behind his back, not mine

He is still using the name Brandon Brown but now a new number traced to Missouri. He says exactly the same information. I love the paper shuffling and when he puts you on "hold" it plays a weird tune. I listened to the crap on my way home from work but then looked it up online because I have had a similar situation arise with another person trying this stating to be from a different company. New number is 573-340-5662.

If they call you claiming to be Brandon Brown, the attorney in California, they're lying. The only Brandon Brown registered with the California bar is a young intellectual property litigator with a big law firm (http://www.kirkland.com/sitecontent....20&itemID=9754).

He's a nice guy from upstate NY -- definitely no accent. I spoke with him today and he confirmed he doesn't work for the "United Nations Legal Department."

DENVER -- Has a debt collector called and threatened you?

Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said Tuesday to hang up and file a complaint.

Suthers office issued a warning that fraudulent and threatening debt-collectors are calling people in Colorado. The calls often involve a supposed payday loan debt consumers have incurred, according to a news release.

Officials said the callers are using a variety of business names and have even invoked the Office of the Attorney General or the name of the attorney general to swindle consumers. According to the complaints, the fraudulent debt collectors threaten consumers with legal action unless they make immediate payment of their debts.

"Colorado law affords consumers protections against fraudulent or abusive debt collectors," Suthers said. "Consumers should not hesitate to report any instances of debt-related fraud or threats to my office as well as local authorities."

Consumers have told the Attorney General's Office that the callers have a variety of foreign accents and have basic personal information about the consumers including their name, address and the last four digits of their Social Security number.

Officials said the callers have used a variety of generic and government-sounding company names, including:

#
# Affidavit Consolidation Services
# American Law Division
# Crime Protection & Investigation
# Cyber Crime Division
# Department of Law & Investigations
# Federal Fraud Investigations
# Federal Investigations Company
# Federal Crime Investigations
# Criminal Bureau of Identity
# Investigation Services
# National Affidavit Processing Center/Department
# National Bureau of Crime Investigations
# National Check Restitution
# National Criminal Center
# United Client Suspect Department
# United Financial Crime Department
# United Nation Legal Department
# U.S. Crime Suspect Department
U.S. Justice Department/Payday Loan Division

According to the Office of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section, here's what you can do:

#
# If a collection agency or debt collector threatens you in any way, hang up and file a complaint with Attorney General's office.
# If a collection agency or debt collector declines to provide you with a record of the debt, hang up and file a complaint.
# If you dispute a debt a collection agency attributed to you in a timely fashion, the collection agency must provide some proof that you actually owe the debt before contacting you again.
# If you would like to have a collection agency stop calling you at work or home, you must send a letter to the collection agency. A phone call is not sufficient. Once a collection agency receives your letter, they are barred from contacting you.
# If you inform a debt collector that you are not the subject of the debt, they must stop calling you.
# You do not have a right to make partial payments unless the collection agency agrees to such an arrangement.
# When dealing with debt collectors, keep copies of all of your correspondence, including any payments.
After you have asked a debt collection agency to stop contacting you, for whatever reason, they may only contact you via a lawsuit.

If you believe they have been defrauded or harassed by a debt collection agency, real or fake, file a complaint online on the attorney general's website or over the phone at 303-866-5304.

You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online on the F.T.C.'s website or over the phone at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).
This is Most definitely a scam give them no information and let them know that you know its a scam and the police will be answering the phone the next time they call!

Your broken English is an excellent clue that you are one of them, and now that you have provided an e-mail you will be open to much of the same harrassment and disgusting threats.  The Police probably came to your place because you are breaking Federal Laws! You should go to prison for a long, long time and be amongst your slimey kind.  Stay out of this Country! and go to Hell!

Pretty interesting since you are praying for them too, just like the people that make these bogus fraudulent calls.  I highly doubt that anyone showed up at your door.  THIS IS A SCAM PEOPLE!!!

J the have become wise to fact that there is info on them on the net, so they are on writing comments to say they are legitimate aka Denise Williams

I got a message from a man with a thick accent, Mike Williams <---- seriously.. anywho, he also claimed to be calling from the UN  Legal dept, wihich was supposedly in the Law Office of William Skard (sp?). After naming a long list of things I could be charged with, he named an account I never had.

These people are so annoying, he's already left me a ton of messages. And when I tried to call back, nobody answers.. Hmmm...  

He called from 724-972-0962

Michael Williams from the California State Attorney General's office. Left a message that we should call him back immediately. Used a new telephone number 760-483-3761

I got a call from 724-972-0962 from Micheal {something} I couldn't understand.  He's telling me I owe money and they will only hold my file for 1/2 hour then they are sending me to court.  Claim he was with the United Nations Leagal dept.  I asked him to confirm some information, he put me on hold, when I asked his name again he said it was David Jone.  I put a FTC complaint in.  He got rude, called me a [***] and called back 15 min after I hung up on him.  During the call back I informed him I reported him and he said "well good luck, we're suing your [***] and your will pay dearly"

Beware, I hate to say it but I was duped by "Brandon Brown". They are using a new phone number (916)234-9454. They got me so frazzled. I now have the ammunition I need to fight back. I have contacted my local sheriff's department and the California Attorney General's office.
