8187463566

I just got a call form ph# 818-746-3566 today!!!  I received 4 calls back-to-back on my BRAND NEW work ph# and 3 missed calls on my cell hone in my pocket.  I went outside to call them back and got straight through to some [***] rattling off a bunch of words.  They asked for the ph# i rcvd the message on and gave it (knowing they already had it) and before i even finished he said oh, you're __________.  He was telling me about this money i had been electronically transferred and when it was to be collected there were not sufficient funds.  I asked what company this transaction took place with and he said instacash.com or net and it was a federal program.  I ask when the transaction occurred and he dodged the question.  I also asked if there were any certified letters sent to me advising that I owe that company money, he replied with no we use email contact up until the date of your court appearance.  I was read a legal affidavit accusing me of money laundering/check fraud and something else.  I was advised I was being subpoenaed tomorrow morning at my work or residence by the local authorities and that I would be arrested on the spot and taken to appear at court in CALIFORNIA!!!!  THEY WANTED TO EXTRADITE ME TO CALIFORNIA!!!! I LIVE IN OHIO!!!! I repeatedly told them I have no idea what they are talking about.  He asked me three questions about my criminal record and if i had been a party in a lawsuit before, and to answer HONESTLY.  I answered no to all of the questions and he said he could tell i was a genuine person and he could help me out today to keep me from being subpoenaed and arrested if i made a payment of $1,012.53 over the phone today in the next HOUR via Debit or Credit Card. AND I had to send some sort of letter in.  He said if i could do that he could do nothing for me and may go have mercy on me tomorrow morning.  He stated that I would be arrested tomorrow (05/21/10) and i have a court date set up for 05/26/10 in CALIFORNIA.  He said the total cost to their "office" for serving me/arresting me/ and bringing me to trial would be approximately $6,000 less MY attorney's fees/bail and any other insignificant charges.  I said I can call you within the hour to settle this right? and he said yes and I hung up.  I immediately called my local PD and advised of what happened and the officer said it was bogus and they're getting a lot of calls about this recently.  I was also informed by another person I work with (in a building of 1,800) that she received the same call last week and cussed them out and hasn't heard from them since and was never arrested.

OH, and EVERY person I talked to in that "organization" TOLD ME the last 4 digits of my Social Security Number, they also had an address for me - granted not my current address but it was my previous address and they had my ph# at work for the operator so they knew that too..

I have half a mind to call them back and scream at them, but I think i'll wait it out to see if I get another call

OH < and the officer at my local PD said that when they say their call is monitored to say so is yours and when they start threatening you to say "I have already contacted my local authorities who have advised me to obtain ALL documentation on the charges against me so that I may provide them to my lawyer for review and my lawyer will be contacting them at that point." and also to advise the documents need to be sent via mail as original copies as email correspondence is not valid..... the officer said it should shut them up - at least for a while

this deal is a total scam and the way they get your information is if you have ever applied for a payday loan online. They called me and told me I owed money to a company I have NEVER heard of. They said I had to pay $1000.00 by a certain date or the law will come to my job and arrest me. Well I went along with it at first until I checked with my bank on the date they claimed I borrowed this money and NO deposit was there from this company. When I told them of this the guy got real rude and said I was going to jail. Well I googled the number and found out this was a scam and once he called again I told him so and he hung up. Like the others here it was a guy with a foreign accent....Middle Eastern sounds like. Just tell the guys you're on to them and they will leave you alone. Don't fall for this scam and be careful applying for PDL online.

They have called us too, they had us scared for awhile but when the wouldn't give me any info about when the deposit was supposed to have been done etc. I knew it had to be a scam. A lawyer wouldn't take a case without knowing the specifics of the case. Not only that but they would contact you by mail on company letterhead and if you didn't reply, they would send you a letter by certified mail. They can't file a case in any court without notifying you by certified mail first. I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM THAT MY ATTOURNEY AND THE FEDERAL ATHORITIES WOULD BE CONTACTING THEM FOR INTERNET FRAUD ETC. THEY HUNG UP ON ME AND WHEN I CALLED BACK AND ASKED... "WHY MIKE HUNG UP ON ME, DID HE GET SCARED?" he told me "THIS IS MIKE YOU DIRTY [***]!" and he hung up again... LOL I guess they don't like having the tables turned on them!!!

Oh my gosh!! I am so glad I read this up.  I got a call last night from a Angela Anderson too!! She asked the same things, DL, SSN a letter of what to put, to get it notarized and everything!! How do we report this?

I am a military person, which if this scammer will have done his homework would had find out. I did reported to the authority and will advice everyone to do the same. www.ic3.gov is where you guys have to go. I am really upset that they try this on me, but I will do everything in my power to cacth this guy.

I have also received 3 phone calls from these people in the last 1.5 months and they claim that they are calling from the Superior County Court of Los Angeles and that there is criminal case against me that I am not allowed to interrupt them while they read these bogus charges to me. If you do interrupt them they get flustered and frustrated and start all over again. The 1st time they called me they called my cell #(don't know how they got that #) and tell you there is a case against you and that you should not ignore this call and that they need to hear from you immediately because this is a time sensitive matter. The 2nd time they called they called my work number(not sure how they got that # either) and left a message on my voicemail from a David Jones(made up name I guess) who I found out was the paralegal for this place. When I call back their number of 530-331-8829, I get some guy named Joe Brown(another made up name I guess) and he has a veryyyyyy heavy accent and is hard to understand and goes thru the same story and tells you that he needs to hear from myself or my attorney because this is a time sensitive matter-yeah right. So I call my attorney who I have handling someother things for me and they call this Joe Brown the next morning and are told that he cannot speak to them because they are a 3rd party-n then why would he leave a message saying he needed to hear from me or my attorney-hmmmmmmm.. The 3rd time they call I get a call again from this Superior County Court of Los Angeles from yet a different person named Matthew Johnson from the same place who number comes up as 714-333-2456. He goes through the same story. Except this time I catch him and tell him that I have already spoken with someone from your office named Joe Brown and he seems to not know who that is.. as soon as I say I have spoken to this Joe Brown- and that they will be hearing from my attorney in a few days, he puts me on hold for second then comes back and stutters and then hangs up on me.

My advice is to report these people to your Attorney General's Office in your state as I did the 2nd time they called me and also your Police Dept. in your state and make them aware that these

This same man has been calling me. First he began calling my parents in December and when I said I was going to the better business bureau he stopped but now, in Feb. he began calling my house and I would tell him to stop calling I don't owe anyone and the payday loan I owed has been paid off. So, now he is calling again using a different name these are a few kevin Cooper, James White and several diferrent law firm names the latest is Hue Foster with all different phone numbers 8187463566,424-244-6225, or calls from 411, 0000 where he blocks the number so you can't call him back. After I told him I was records he's calls to my house he hung upo and began calling my job when my boss asked him to stop calling his place of business he called 4 more times before the company I work for said that they was going to investigate him if he kept calling so he stopped. He became very aggresive and threatening. I guest they got my information of the internet when I applied for a payday loan in december. These people do not knoww me and they are not going to get a dime from me and I am going to contact everyone I can to try and find these people. Better business bureau, CFR, CFA
