I received the same call today as the ones above. I can not believe that they are so stupid that they think we would fall for this. I pray that they are caught and brought to justice for threatening people.

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.
Recieved same call from Washington correction stating there will warrant for my arrest tomorrow if my attorney does not call today! Sounds foreign but also computer generated? They need to leave us alone and stop scammin people
Received a call from this # today and didn't answer but I've gotten similar calls from other numbers stating the same things that there is a warrant for my arrest and they will come get me at work if I didn't give them money. I said send me whatever you need to and I'll have my attorney look at it because this is the first I'm hearing of this and of course he hung up. I then went on abc news and found out it's totally a scam from some Indian guy in California who stole money from people and is now wanted by the law. You can look it up yourself if you don't believe me.
Received a call threatening me for jail at 11am. Obvisiously its a scam, first off understand debt laws. even if u did take a so called payday loan, they cant do anything to you. They first have to give you the so called debt in writing, then your given 30 days to decide if this is your debt, and so on. Look up debt laws, DONT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY! THREATEN THEM BACK< THEY WILL HANG UP>
Same number same call. She leaves a number to call an attorney by the name of Stephen something or something along those lines but she says it once and hangs up and I cant call the number back to get the number Im to call. Definately calling bs on this one
