I am not going to be as stupid as this Middle eastern guy whom is trying to scam me. I have been receiving alot of phone calls from this idiot,mind you @ my job,constantly. My wife immediately got on the phone with a "REAL LAWYER" and she was very helpful. This guy calls my job place and when he was asked who is this messege from he said "James Brown",like what the hell. Well,finally with the Lawyers help we managed to get this info on-line. I can not believe how many "EVIL" people are out there in this world. My wife was so upset that she called him back to give him a piece of her mind.She began reading to him "ALL" of these stories of people getting harrassed and so forth,he on the other hand hanged up on her. Supposedly, this is an actual claim yet you hanged up on her phone call. The real issue is not that my wife placed that call,but that you actually think I'm just going to give you info of me,agree to something I have nothing to do,etc.,. I want to give a big thank you,to all of you that put up your post to help others out. So on behalf of my family and I, we thank you sincerly Eddie & family :)
This is just the newest number that the Indian scammers with the payday loan/lawsuit scam are using. I actually got a call from these same people back in February. I had a payday loan from PaydayOne and I had been in contact with that company and was in the process of re paying my loan. So the first call I got in February really scared me. I called my original creditor and asked about it. They informed me it was a scam and that my account was not in collection, as we had entered into a payment agreement. So when these jerks called back yesterday, I knew the score already. Thick middle east accent that I could barely understand. I was left a message from a guy named Steve something (couldn't understand it) with absolutely no specific information, just saying it was a business matter and time-sensitive and that I needed to call him back today. Strangely, I had attempted to answer the call, but was unable to answer it. The number on my caller id was odd too, not even enough digits. It was 320076196. I did call the number back (which is listed as an Auburn, NY landline) and was informed that I was being sued for defaulting on a payday loan. I asked for specific information as to who the original creditor was and was told it could be one of 300 possible online payday lenders. I asked what company he was with and he told me LLC Law Office of New York, which is one I have not seen yet in my internet research of this scam. Then he said I would be in court Monday morning. I asked which court and he refused to tell me. I told him that if I was being sued I would know it, as you have to be formally served with documents. I told him they had already tried to scam me once and not to call back (they have not yet). The thing that I really really am wary of is that they have my sister and brother's name (luckily I am pretty sure they have both since gotten new cell #'s, so these jerks cannot harrass them). They have the last 4 of my social. They have my current bak account number and my current e-mail address, neither of which I had open at the time I did have that old payday loan I talked about at the beginning of this post! I have not had an online payday loan since, so how did they get my CURRENT information?!? Does anyone know if there has been anyone lose any money that they did not willingly authorize these people to have? Oh, and I did call the Auburn NY police department and the guy there acted like I was some kind of idiot. So basically I was told to not waste his time and try contacting my local law enforcement.
I know exactly what you mean! These jerks were calling me relentlessly during the month of February on a strange telephone number(716-006-6000) and asking me to call back on a different number. Very thick mid eastern accents, also. I never did call them back and finally it stopped. It looks like today the same scammers are trying to contact me again. 320-076-176 came up on the caller ID. Not even a real number. I will not respond to these idiots. If I owe a debt than they have to send me the information in writing. From what I understand, that when they don't get a response, they will eventually move on.
I received the same exact call. You need to call the Federal Trade Commission and report this scam. I called them yesterday, so there are more than just me calling then maybe they will speed up their investigation. "James Brown" (seriously what a name) called me back and I told him that I investigated what he said that I was being sued for and that his information is bogus. I actually talked to someone at the payday company that he said was suing me, of which I had never had a payday loan. They told me it was a scam and that they had heard the name LLC Law Office of New York before and know that it is a scam. I told James that I called the Federal Trade Commission and reported him. He wasn't quite sure how to respond and just said "okay then see you in court" and hung up. I asked to speak to someone that I could understand and he refused and said that I could only talk to him. I hope they get these guys. I am not sure how they could have gotten your current bank information, especially if you did not have that account with the payday lender. I changed my account since then. He did try to confirm information and I told him that I was not answering him until I saw proof of documentation of the lawsuit. Of course, he refused. I received a similar call back in February as well.

I was called by this same phoney law firm, LLC Law Office of New York. What surprised me was all the personal information they had and wanted me to confirm so they could inform me about a law suit against me. The law suit was supposed to be by ACE Pay Advance some 2 years ago, which I do not owe. I talked to Walter Davis and Joe Brown, but every time I call back, there is a different person. They told me I was being sueing and would be served the next day. The number I was given to call back was 315-294-9471. They all have a very thick mid eastern accent and you can hardly understand any thing they are saying. I think they are trying to get bank information because they have all personal information, but my bank information was old.
