They called my home and made my wife very worry, They said police is going to arrest your husband and give his work phone number. Luckily my wife did not give them my number but ask their number, and they give this number to her.I called the number as soon as he start to speak I find him fake human being trying to be American and started to threatening me.
I ask him I will be happy to send him invitation to come to USA and we can have dialog face to face , we need here some body to send him to jail to be queen of the prison.
This kind of scam call cause to shake the nerve and heart of people and person who doing this deserve to be queen of the jail.Sorry I unleashed my language but I had to say something harsh to those kind of people.
The same thing happened to me by the same people. I also applied for a loan and was denied and no deposits were ever put into my account. This just happened today
This is the SECOND time (in six months) that this has happened to me. This guy from India said he is "Mike Johnson" from a law firm and I was being sued. They don't get that far with me because I call them on it saying it's a scam. They call all day. The last time he called was 5 min ago... he called saying the same stuff...then I told him that he's a liar, and it's a scam... he then said, "Hey baby...I love you..." and made kiss noises. I don't know what to do!!!!

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.
Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.
If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:
■Notify your banking institutions.
■Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
■Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
■File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:
■Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
■Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
■Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
■Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
■Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
■When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements
I keep getting calls from this number on my cell phone and they do not leave a message. I am now getting them at work. It is from a law office called Dalvaney and a Steve Harris is the attorney he says. He calls and threatens me with a law suit but will not tell me what the law suit is about. He says that the FBI are coming to my house in 2 hours to arrest me if I do not have my attorney call them. He will not give me any information just keeps saying that I need to have my attorney call him and he will tell my attorney what this is about. He says the case has been downloaded in California somewhere and the file has now been sent to the police and a warrant for my arrest has been issued. He then wishes me good luck as my situation unfolds on me. They are now calling me from a different number and his accent is very thick and it sounds like he is calling from a call center as you can hear alot of background noise and others talking.
