I too received a call from,202-808-3319 and spoke to David Jones.I too asked for information and he was very unprofessional,rude,and threatened to have warrants issued for frauding a financial institution.When he ask me for my personal information,my response to him was,you called me about this so you give me my information,and he hung up on me...Only to turn around and call my fathers home and leave a message on his machine saying that this was an attempt to collect a debt and if you could have(my name) call me at this number and it was a 904 area code.Okay you call me from a 202 area code but you give me a 904 to return your call? This is a SCAM!!! Do not fall into anyone calling and asking for your personal information and money.Always google the numbers and/or names of the ones calling you.Report them and give them nothing...
I also received a call from this number from a David Jones which was quite unprofessional when leaving a message. The message left stated that I needed to call by the end of the business day as they were forwarding my bad check writing file to the city courts and will have a warrant issued for my arrest. I then called as I am going through unemployment and a bad divorce and I didn't need anything else held over my head. (I still am unsure as I don't write checks at all) When called, I spoke with Olivia Boyd who seemed to want to help; however not enough to make me believe I wasn't being locked up. Needless to say, I paid them 300.00 because I am now scared for my life. I then called today to provide an update on my finances and to let them know there is nothing that I can do right now, and to finally get some paperwork forwarded to me regarding the debt supposedly owed. She began getting argumentative and stated this wasn't an attempt to collect a debt. She began to state she wasn't going to argue, etc. I let her speak and when I had questions or disagreed she wouldn't give me any company info with the exception of a fax number!! How is it you call from a 202 number, but the fax number has an area code of 904?? Very SCAM-MATIC if you ask me!!!
Why did you pay them anything. Dispute the charge. It violates FDCA rules to threaten legal action. They cannot arrest you. Also, a legit company wouldn't leave your SSN on your phone and would have to provide proof of the debt. Additionally, they aren't supposed to leave your name either for privacy reasons. Total Scam artists.
Man called from 202-808-3318, said he was with Allied Investigations from Washington D.C. (convenient) and transferred me to another Lady by the name of Melissa Young. She tried to tell me that I had 4 counts against me for check fraud, stolen funds, bank fraud, and debt by deception for unpaid check loans. She accused me of just dipping out on paying or closing my bank account so I wouldn't have to pay and said she had a notarized statement from my bank confirming funds were deposited. She said that if a resolution could not be reached should would have to "sign-off" so that a judge could issue warrants for my arrest. I proceeded to tell her that this is not the first call like this I have received and that it's funny that when i google their # every results comes back as spam. I told her that I have recorded from my bank, that the check information they are giving me does not even exist, and that I accept no debt as I have no outstanding check loans. I further told her that I am well aware that bottom feeders such as herself buy up old debts (whether the debt was paid or not) and spend their days trying to screw people out of their hard-earned money. The woman said she did not have to listen to what I was telling her and d/c the call. SCAMMERS!!
Got a call from David Jones, what an a$$. He is so full of crap. This is a total scam, cannot even verify for provide any information in what they're claiming. They want me to wire transfer money, but again won't verify the debt. I don't have anything. Also, they're saying a warrant will be issued for my arrest, they cannot threaten that. My husband is an attorney and he said what they're doing is highly illegal. Report them to your AG!!
I received a call from the number 202-808-3318. I spoke to a Melissa Young and she claimed she was an investigator. She said that there would be a warrant for my arrest for check fraud and other charges. I was naïve enough to give her my info and realized that this probably was a scam. I googled the number to read other postings and experiences of other persons contacted by this number who state that this is a scam. I had to current debit info before they can charge my acct. I hope that this will not have negative results for me in the future. Please reply. I would like to know your feedback.
