916-458-4704

gives call back number as 916-458-4704.  Major accent.   This is a major scam.  Contact the FBI, police and your credit agencies.

I received a call from someone (with a very strong foreign accent) claiming to be from "Customer Affairs and Business Regulations" a legal law firm with the U.S. government.   They indicated that they were preparing to file legal action against me on behalf of "InstaCash USA", which I did ook a loan out with,  When speaking with them, it did not sound legigitmate.  These calls (about 10 in arow)have been coming in to me daily around 6:00 a.m. MT for the last coulpe of days.    The number shown on caller id is 810-676-161 (no last digit after the 161).   And the person calling claimed to be Alex Parker and requested that I call back at 916-458-4704.  

I need to know if this is legitimate or a scam.   They try to sound very convincing, and they had all of my information, but something about the call did not sound right.     I can be reached at [removed]

This guy called for an employee I fired 2 years ago.

He refused to accept that fact.  He identified himself as San Diego FBI Agent Russel Miller.  I requested proof and he gave me the bar number of 187728 which I later traced to a criminal lawyer in Sacramento who has no idea that this is going on.

I called the San Diego FBI and they have no agent by that name.  

Now over night I got a voice mail message from the guy identifying himself as the District Attorney General of Ohio, Steve Morton making various rambling threats.

At this time, I took the FBI's advice and called local authorities and opened a case into it.

I also urge that.  This guy calls, don't hang up.  talk to him.  milk all the information you can from him then call the cops, post it online, and anything else.

I received several of the same calls. They called me 3 times a day for a few days and then called my job! They stated I owed money and they were going to press fraud charges against me and send a notice to my employer. I did have a loan out that I was working with a consolidation company on to pay off so I thought it might be legit. The more questions I asked them, the more rude they became, hanging up on me more than three times. When I finally called back I spoke with a supervisor. He told me he couldn’t give me much information cause all he had was an affidavit in front of him. He told me the name of the internet loan company Id borrowed from was Instacash. At one point I was down on funds and applied to several online loan companies so I couldn’t really keep them all clear. When I asked him to send me paperwork he stated he could only send it to a lawyer or my employer, but not me because "they were a paperless loan company". After I spoke with them for over a half an hour begging for them to give me a chance to work things out and scared Id have fraud charges pressed against me, I asked what I could do to avoid going to court. He told me I’d have to fax a notarized letter admitting to owing $600.00 and that I’d pay $100 bi-weekly. I also had to list my credit card number on the letter, and my address. Now at first I believed them even though everything seemed strange. After all, they had my cell phone number, the last four digits of my ssn, and my work number.. As I sat down to type the letter I thought really hard about the companies name. I looked up Instacash and only found an email address. He stated that 300cash.com was also their affiliate. I remembered filling out a loan application because they charge you $19 for it, but I never got the loan. He’d also said Id borrowed $350 but couldn’t tell me the date, which I knew wasn’t true. The only internet loan I’d gotten was only $200. He also said the name of their law firm was Cage Law, which I cant find any information for. When I looked up the phone number on Google I found this, and almost threw up in my mouth. Needless to say I won’t be sending them [***] and will be contacting the authorities.

I got the same call for same guy and smae caller id.  but he gave me 9162364575 and 853224579 as the phone number. he claims that both my references and myself will be served with court papers on 12-3-09 and court is 12-7-09.

i have also been harrassed and bullied by these people. i've gotten several different numbers the most recent being 805-322-4579. my story is similar to others that have been posted on this site, they called me told me 3 charges were filed against me and that i would recieve a summons the next day. he informed me he had an affidavit in front of him and that it is important that i do not interrupt him while he reads it to me so i allowed him to read it to me then when he was done he asked if i had any questions for him. i told i had no questions then he became annoyed because it seemed to not affect me. he ended up saying bye and quickly hanging up on me. i have not recieved another phone or a "summons". this is definitely a scam and i hope no one is falling for this and paying these guys a dime.

My story matches eveyone else's story the only diffrence between thier story and mines is the numbers the original call came from 303 -337-2500 and when i tried to call it back it was a time date and weather checker for colorodo,As i was answering the call they didnt say anything but when i hung up the message was on my phone.Telling me to not to disregaurd this message and call back 650-490-4039 So I called the number and her told me I was being sued for taking out a loan and not paying it back,(i remeber filling out loan applications but being denied)he then told me he had an afidavte that he was going to read and asked that I didnt say anything while he read it to me then he asked if i had any questions when I said I never got a loan he said to me I have the proof all that will convicvt you in court,he also said that they was going to send it to my job so by now im scared im 3 months pregnant and I cant afford to lose my job, so after i said that he got irrate and hung up the phone I called him back he said that he could tell that i was a good person and he wanted me to make a deal for 700.oo so I asked how much was the loan he said 300.00 and he said the other 400.oo was for fees then he said I had to pay half now and a payment plan for the rest later and when I got mad he told me dont call this number no more we will see you in court. I then calls the bank for a record only to realize that there was no such deposit into my account. Now today they have called three times all from blocked numbers and gave me the same 506 number to call back and i told him i was calling the FBI He hung up!

I three calls today back to back to back from an unknown number. It was from a woman who said that she needed me to call her back or have my attorney call her. She said that it was an important matter, and if I did not call her back today, that "Only God could help me once the information about me unfolded." The number given was 1-805-322-4579. She left no name. I called back and a man with a foreign accent answered the phone. I told him I got a call from this number and I was unsure as to the matter it was involving. He asked for the phone number that the person was trying to reach me from. He said that I owed a company money for a loan that I had taken out and that they were unable to get their money back. So I immediately became alarmed. He explained that he had an affidavit and he was going to read it back to me, and please not to interrupt him until he was finished. He then asked me if I had any questions. I told him I had never been notified, and what company was it for. He said instacash.usa. I asked him for the correct spelling. He said that they would notify my job, and that I would get a court summons either today or monday to appear in court in California on 12/9/2009 at 9am. My first thought was how in the world can I make it from New Jersey to California in a few days with no money. He then told me that I have two choices, pay it all in full now 898.36, and write a letter to them saying that I owe the debt. I asked for a copy of something for proof. A letter, the original contract that I signed, something before I just give my money over to them. He said there is no document he could give me, that I would get a confirmation number after the money was paid in full. So I told him that I would see if I can come up with the money and call them back. I asked for a name and was told it was Alexander Davenport. I asked the name of his company, he says that it's the consumer affairs department of Instacash.usa. I then asked a coworker of mine to call and be the police department and see if they would tell her the same information. The hung up the phone on us. So I believe it's a scam as well.

Everything that I have read in the past postings are so accurate, that it's scary.

I received calls from the same people this morning. A gentleman by the name of "Paul Walker" (who had a VERY thick accent) had called my cell phone at 8am from a number displaying only 1-810-676-161. Since it was an unknown number, I didn't answer and "Paul" had left me a voicemail. Then the gentleman called my work to look for me! He continued to tell me that he was a lawyer and a lawsuit was filed against me and the I was going to have three different counts charged against me for forgery, check fraud, and money laundering. All of this came as a shock to me not knowing what he was talking about. He told me it was in regards to a loan from InstaCash.usa, one of his "clients". Appently, I had taken a loan out and the funds were deposited into my account over a year ago. And since then the company has been trying to reach me for payment for several months but I refused to cooperate. I did a search on that name and nothing came up. He insisted that he represented over 3000 "companies" and couldn't tell me which particular company I took out a loan from. I told him to give me the number for this "company" and he gave me 818-338-5092. He told me that I could settle the debt or have my lawyer contact him because he was going to go to court and have me prosecuted. I called this "payday loan advance company" and the gentlemen on the other end was quite rude. He had all my information from my address, phone number, work number, birthdate, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, 2 references and their numbers, along with my BANKING INFORMATION!!! He had the bank name, routing number and account number. As I continued to talk to my "lender" he was getting frustrated and told me I needed to contact his lawyer. So I called his "lawyer" back at 408-461-3224. He just told have my lawyer contact him by today or else he could call back  the follwing Saturday. In which I stated that he's trying to collect on a debt but won't be available for over a week and a half. All this seemed very fishy especially the fact that he was a "lawyer" trying to collect a debt. Why wouldn't this information be brought to a collection agency? I proceeded to contact my back, close my account, make them aware of the situation, and contact the authorities. A police report has been filed, the FBI will be notified, the DA, and the credit agencies would be contacted. PLEASE BE AWARE!!!

I received my phone call on Xmas eve. Talk about ruining my holiday. My story is similar though the number and federal agency was different. I was told the very foreign accented called was from the department of justice but he had a very American name. The instacash company was mentioned along with potential fraud charges on the federal level. I was told to call back using an 858 #. I have an appt at my old bank Monday. Luckily for me it is a closed account. Once I verify that all my former loans were paid in full as I will coctact each, I will contact my lawyer, police fraud division, and credit bureaus. Please protect yourselves. I have learned a valuable lesson and now know that no matter the situation you are in your creditors will work with you if you keep the lines of communication open.

Same name, same 9 digit 810 number, same exact charges, named my gf's cousins and most of her social. Only difference is he had us call 626-608-6397 and we pissed off the outsourced scammer guy and he called back about 6 times cause I said alot of swear words and called him out. Said I knew this is a scam and I've contacted both the local authorities and the FBI, which is true thanks to this site! That seems to have pissed him off so now he's still calling and sticking to the story too. I have to admit these guys are commited to the end lol. If they don't stop we'll have to change her number since she can't block numbers on her phone we already called the cell company.

OMG! This just happened to me today.  They told me I will be summoned to court in 2 days in California and will be going to jail.  They told me they work for the Department of Criminal Justice in the BFCD department which deals with companies that have gone bankrupt.  They said I had to have a notorized letter with all my information (credit/debit card) and fax it to the number (510) 439-5600.  They even said they are going to arrest my reference too and she would be going to jail.  I can't lie this has shaken me up and I called the Department of Criminal Justice and the FBI.  I will be going to file a police report today as well.

I received the same type of call, but the number they asked me to call was 951-808-6087. they left a message on my work phone from a Daniel Jackson. When I called I got a guy named Kevin. They told me that I was going to be placed under arrest and have 3 charges placed against me. I told them that this was false and I would sue them for defamation of character. They hung up on me, I called back and they yelled at me and hung up again.

yes i just recieved the same type of call today only the number was a 1-714-006-6000 i work on the road and recieve calls from several different types of numbers so i thought nothing of it the same info was said to me 3 differen charges in the state of california and they had two of my bests friends name s and numbers when they call you the best thing to do is tell them to go f*** themselves and hang up but be sure that you do protect yourself..what is the world coming to?

I received 3 calls on my cell and 3 calls at work today from 714-006-6000 from Julian Ross who had a very heavy accent. He left threatening messages and said "God bless you" at the end of the message. I pick up the phone at work and he said "Why are you not returning my calls?" He had my line tied up as it appeared he was dialing from two different lines at the same time. I called this idiot back and I told him yes I looked into a payday loan but changed my mind and did not go through with it. He claimed I had money deposited in my account. I check my ank statements back 6 months and no deposit outside my my employer direct deposit was indicated. Then "Julian" said he would transfer me to the attorney to help me remember. The guys claimed to be an attorney and told me not to interupt him while read the affidavit. I knew this was B.S. I asked him if I was supposed to be scared especially when I know this was total B.S. He said three charges would be filed and he would ruin my credit report. I told him to stop the calls and I was not going to pay a dime and he said  he would sue me in Los Angeles and I told him his number was from San Francisco, then he hung up. I went online to the California Attorney General's Office and filed a compliant.

I just got off the phone with an Eric Matthews same situation as everyone else.  Phone 562-684-2014.  Stating I took a loan out with Insta Cash USA in November 2009 which I did not and that I owed $900.  They were going to send my employer the information and I could lose my job because of the criminal activity.  The scary part is he had my last four digits of my SSN and I did have identity theft against me this past year.

I am calling the California Attorney General and filing a complaint as well.

I got a call this am that was quite upsetting, the same story that has been posted here.  "Mary Murphy" told me that I was going to prison, and would lose my job if I didn't pay them the money I owed.  There were going to be 3 charges against me,  Federal Bank Regulations, theft by deception, and another one I could not clearly understand from his broken english.  He said charges had been filed in Los Angelos county in December 2009 but he could not give me a file # or any supporting documentation.  When I told him I wanted to check into this matter with my bank (I had taken a load out in Oct 2009 but not on line) and would call him back by 5pm EST, he again told me I would lose my job when he contacted my employer.

Who do I contact to file charges?

they call me also, did you find out anything about them.
I am going to e-mail my credit union to stop all ach transactions until this is resolved.

omg this happened to me, unfortunately i paid the first people at 310-974-8960, now i have Eric Matthews calling me from 916-756-2362 and claiming the same, i have placed a complaint with ftc but i guess i need to contact fbi as well, hopefully i can get my money back to the tune of 998.00
