I have also received calls from this # from a Peter Jones. When I requested that I be sent something in the mail regarding this he stated that they did not send information in the mail. I have received calls from him at home as early as 7:20 am and daily at work. I requested that I not be contacted at work. Even when I gave him a date of when I could make a payment I still received daily calls from him. When I told him that he was harrassing me by all of the calls I was then called by a Anna Cooper (at my place of employment) who stated that she was a legal investigator for United Investigations. I offered to make a payment when I got off work that day. She advised me that I only had one hour to pay the entire balance or she would be sending federal officers to my work place to have me arrested. She also stated that I would need to contact my childrens school/daycare to advise them that officers would be taking them into protective custody. I don't have any childre. She also requested to speak to my supervisor to advise him of what would be happening, which I refused. She requested that I send the payment via Money Gram on a "green form" to Smit Shah in Highwood, IL. When I went to send the Money Gram I was told by the agent that the green form is for the person receiving the $$. She said that if I was sending $$ to pay a bill it would go on a different form and that it would require an account #. I tried several times to call the 305-396-9594 # and reached a recording that said the "selected destination is unreachable." The only time I was able to get through to someone on this # was at about the time I was supposed to call and give Anna Cooper the confirmation # of the transaction. When I was able to speak with her and asked for an account # she stated that I did not need one since it was being sent to directly to the director of the company that the $$ was owed to. She stated that the reason it was being sent to a person instead of a company was because the fees are cheaper. I was told that the $$ was owed to Midland Marketing. When I requested a phone # for that company she refused to give me a # stating that I was wasting her time. Upon investigation I found that there is no Midland Marketing in Highwood. The only thing that is listed for that name is in Northfield, IL. I contacted the company and was advised that they do not do any kind of loans and that there was no one there by the name of Smit Shah. I have notified the Illinois Attorney General's office regarding this for investigation.

PLEASE REPLY BACK TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL. I RECIEVED ANTOHER CALL TODAY FROM PETER JONES SAYING TO CALL HIM BACK ABOUT MY PAYMENTS AND IF I DID NOT THAT THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT. I JUST IGNORE THE CALLS WHEN THEY COME THROUGH BUT SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE!
I haven't heard anything from the attorney generals office yet but I figure it will take a couple of days. What the people calling don't realize is that I work for the state in the agency that governs loan co's and collection agencies so I have access to the rules and regulations. I was advised by a supervisor to file a report with our agency regarding their work practices.
These 'people', for lack of a better word, give names like Peter Jones, Don Johnson, Robert Johnson, Adam West and etcetra etcetra, when obvious from their limitted pronunciation of English, they aren't even American. Don't be takien in by their scheme. This information they have gleaned from old records, ie: previous addresses and bank accounts, they don't even have current information. They are just trying to get you to 'MoneyGram' or 'WesternUnion' them ANY amount of money to support their scheme. I wouldn't be suprised to find out they are funneling this money to terrorist organizations. Maybe we should contact Homeland Security and report this.
