Have received many calls from these people with threats to be sued and taken to jail. Have looked up their #'s before and they were coming from Tampa. This one however is in Brooklyn, New York. Man says his name is Charles Brown (original) and as always has a thick Indian accent. I told him that I know he and his fake company are a fraud. Please do not give them any money or personal info. They should go get a real job and stop insulting our intelligence!
If you file with the attorney general's office in the state from which Mr. not american is calling from they will at least quit calling you from that area code. You will of course have to do a report for each area code but what the heck at least you can vent again and again. I filed against 903-200-5129 which is in Texas, there were 14+ pages and almost as many voice mails on 14 june 2010, nothing from them today. Apparently you don't mess with Texas! However, 567-248-2129 called "mr. allan smith" for sure! from some Lawfirm but I'm sure it was also acs, they must have a million different names, maybe from a baby book. Thanks for the info on them using calling cards, explains the call from bakersfield, ca.
Follow the suggestion from a lament at 800notes.com it is easiest to google 8317403312 and then find the name. This person has everything from every cash advance/ cash loan fraud number there is and what you can do to help stop these scammers. There is even a letter from a BBB person who tells you exactly how this scam works, very scary.
Whether you owe a cash advance company or have never even had an advance everyone needs to show "these people" we aren't going to be bullied, cursed at or scammed. The best thing about living in America is there are NO Debtors prisons! All they can do is sue you for the money and I doubt any real company would pay a bunch of lawyers for the few who might owe $300.00. I just read an advance company "rules" everyone has to use arbitration, so NO lawyers.
I have been receiving phone calls from numbers 5187519193 and 7187665576 telling me I have to pay them 785.00 to one of them and 391.00 to the other.
today a James Brown and an Erik Mathews called me harrassing me and threating me that if I did not pay he will file for the FBI to come and arrest me.
I was very scared and did not what to do so I began to research the numbers and found out this people are a BIG FRAUD!
Please don't let intimidate you like they did to me.
hi my name is isabel,
I got the same call from a Joseph williams,james briwn.
they told me if I did not pay 785.00 dollars I was going to be arrested.
then I researched, and they are frauds trying to make noney from working people like us. Please do not believe them report them to the Authorny General Office.
I got several calls from them. Each time, it was someone with a thick Indian accent too.They even called me at work after I told them I could not take personnal calls at work. Then, they started leaving message on my home and cell phone. On June 11th, I got into a heated argument with one of these guys. He kept saying there was a serious charge against my social. I called his bluff. He claimed I received a loan onto my prepaid card on 3/3/10 at 6:54 pm. I shocked the crap out of him when I told him that was impossible because the card he claims the funds were put on was not in possesion at that time (it happened to be a brand new card that was en route to me!!! It was mailed on 3/3!!!!). Then I informed him that I contacted the bank (which I actually did!!) and informed him that the bank verified that no funds were deposited on 3/3/10 and they were sending me documentation to prove it!!!! I then told him as per the bank, I was filing a police report (did it!) and reporting them to the Federal Trade Commission. To whoever reads this, do the same!!! We have got to stop these [***] from committing fraud and theft..
just got a call from 052-497-347 I didnt answer. They left a message, saying it was ACS, his name was Jeff Martin, and the call back # was 347-289-3905. I called back and told them to never call me again and that I knew they were fraud, he told me to F*&# off and I hung up.
