This number is calling the main switchboard for our School District and forcing every line busy. Says his name is Steve Adams and will not leave any company contact information. Harassing the switchboard operator and threatening her. FCC and State Attorney general cases have been opened.
We have been receiving numerous calls and they call in all lines at the same time...
This is a scam, do not fall for it. Call your phone company and have it reported.
They are calling me all the time. Have strong accents, middle eastern I believe. They threaten with arrest, call and yelled at me and my supervisor. They were calling in Jan from a different set of numbers. My corporate security officer researched the numbers and only one came back as a legit number.. but it was to a Builders Square in San Antonio, but he doubted it was from them as they gave me a few different names of the cash advance place I supposedly went to. They stopped calling my work since then. I had my cell carrier block all unknown numbers for a month, and now I am getting calls again. When I ask for documents I am told I will get them, but never have, the rude guy who yells at me is the boss, and I am not allowed for any reason to talk to the attorneys he works for. I said then good luck getting my money. Send the cops to arrest me... I have recorded the calls so if anything happened, I had proof that he wouldn't cooperate with any requests for information to resolve the matter.

— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim 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.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
