RECEIVED SEVERAL CALLS FROM 585-331-8326 SAYING I OWE A DEBT AND IF I DONT PAY I WILL BE GOING TO JAIL COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND THE HEAVY ACCENT INDIAN I THINK
WHEN I FINALLY COULD UNDERSTAND ONE I GOT THE SAME STORY AS OTHERS HERE I BORROWED MONEY FROM QUICK PAY DAY LATE LAST YEAR I DIDNT THEY HAVE ALL MY INFORMATION SS NUMBER BANKING ACCOUNTS ETC. VERY THREATENING AND TOLD ME TO SEND A FAX STATING THEY COULD TAKE THIS MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT THEY HAVE ALL MY INFORMATION BUT COULDNT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION TO THE NAME OF ACTUAL COMPANY OR PHONE NUMBER I OWED THIS MONEY TO
I received 3 calls 1 from this number and also 4903494891 and 3713490122. When i reported the call to the FTC the person there told me they somehow bought my info, don't listen and hang up. These guys remind me of Baaboo (Sienfeld's restraunt owner). He threatened me so threatened his family's safety. I told him I was going to hunt him down! He hung up and never got another call till this morning. Don't fall for these [***] calls. Not worth your time.
I received a call today from (530) 328-0104 the man calling claimed to be from the "back office of a law firm" prosecuting me for; the violation of federal banking regulations, collateral check fraud, and theft by deception, due to an overdue account with Cash Advance. He claimed that he could not give me the exact date of the loan or the amount that was supposedly deposited to my account. However, he did claim that my current amount due, including late fees and interest, was $561.27 and that the amount was written off as stolen on Jan 11, 2011; but again wouldn't provide me with the date I was supposedly given this loan or the actual amount I would have received. I pressed him for the name of his law office and he claimed he was from the Bureau of Fraud Investigation (BFI) and that they delt in Cyber Crimes. He also told me that it was not a collection agency, but because he found me to be a “genuine individual of the United States” he would work with me and asked me if I was willing to talk to his restitution office. I was eager to get more information so I agreed. The restitution officer told me he would need me to send a fax to (408) 608-0307. The Fax needed to be worded as:
Attn Officer Green
I Heather Weber have an outstanding balance of $561.27. I’ll be making the entire payment of $561.27 today to take care of this issue.
He than asked for my credit card information. I asked him if I could make the payment tomorrow so that I would have a chance to check on this loan with my bank. After a hesitation “to talk to his attorney” he told me that would be fine but in order to do that I needed to send a fax today. This fax should include my entire credit card information; my name as it appeared on the card, the card number, the expiration date, and the 3 digit security code. He also asked for a photo copy of my drivers licence or social security card, because he needed “photo identification proof,” as well as a second letter stating that I would not dispute this transaction. He assured me that the card would not be charged until tomorrow, needless to say I have not sent any such fax.
i received three phone calls within one hour from this number. the person who called me had a heavy foreign accent( stereo-typical middle eastern..), accused me of laundering money, check fraud, and threatened me . He claimed that i "stole" eight thousand dollars from some generic sounding lender. He said i was being sued for eight thousand dollars plus court costs, and that i could prevent the entire ordeal if i either payed the eight thousand that i had "stolen" over the phone by giving him my account information, or gave him my lawyer's name and telephone number. It took a rather extensive amount or time for me to pick that much out of his meager english. He antagonized me by laughing while he claimed that i would be going to prison. I got upset and yelled at him, so he twisted my words around and kept interrupting me while i demanded to speak with his manager. he had a frightening amount of correct personal information about me, which makes me wonder if my money will be safe any longer. I think he picked me out of a list of people who actually have outstanding debt. I have three very small outstanding debts( medical, under two thousand dollars all together.) He threatened to call my boss and my boyfriend, and he actually had their correct phone numbers and addresses!!!! these people must be stopped!! this is our country and i feel these actions are worthy of being deported or exiled. I could potentially lose my job over this if he harasses my boss. I have worked long and hard to get where i am today and i will be ruined and destitute if i lose my job or the security of my money because of this.also , every one who "worked" there was named michael.
Spoke with 2 people who provided the names
James Johnson
And
Daniel Brown
Numbers provided included:
(original call) 202-481-3310
and
206-203-7293
First caller (202) ‘James Johnson’ who spoke with an Indian accent asked for my attorney’s number, when I asked what this was in regards to he stated it was a complaint filed against me I asked what complaint and he sent me to “Daniel Brown” when the person who called themselves “Daniel” came on he stated that they where from the Law office of Michael Tompkins out of Seattle and representing a client named as ‘quickpay.com’ and that I was being charged with fraud (3 total allegations which I can’t recall the details of ). This was apparently related to a $250 loan that I had allegedly requested in 2010 and that they had supposedly provided and deposited but had not received payment for. I have never executed any such transaction and found an email explicitly stating that they would not be able to provide such a loan (which i found odd since I hadn't requested it).
After about 10 minutes i tried calling back to get the bar# for the attorney and the number no longer worked.
