I have also received several calls from a man with an Indian sounding accent. He says his name is Adam Scott. Indicates he is an officer with the Bureau of Investigation. Says that I took a payday loan and that my credit score will drop, had the same thing happen a few months ago as well. Has anyone had any success with reporting these scam artists?

I received a call on my job from a man with an Indian sounding accent. He says his name is Adam Scott. Indicates he is an officer with the Bureau of Crime & Investigation from California. States that I had received Electronic Transfer Funds into my account in August of 2010 from a payday (cash advance) loan. As this officer was being rude in tone, I had advised him that I have not taken out a payday loan, the officer advised me that I took this loan out over the internet, he also advised of my last 4 of my checking account # and my email address (which anyone can get an email).
He then advised me that I only had 3 choices:
1. Go to jail for 3 months/ and I would need to come to CA
2. Get a criminal lawyer and have the lawyer contact him
3. Make it easy and pay the amount (359.85 ?????????)
I advised to this so called officer that, I did not have any funds transferred into my account of that amount at that time frame.
He advised to me that I was a criminal and I needed to come to CA
**I found that offensive as I never stole anything in my life or have any sort of criminal record
**He advised me that it is not my problem and I needed to pay this amount as he has filed paperwork on me for 1. A violation of federal banking, 2. Account by Deception, 3. Theft w/ the Supreme Court of California
I asked the officer for more info concerning the court, as we all know CA is a huge state/ the Officer refused to give me this info.
I advised to officer I will get info from my bank stating I never had funds transferred from any payday cash place ...Officer stated he didn't care and threatened me that I will go to jail, but did advise a fax #206.339-6518

I called my bank and of course have proof that no EFT (electronic funds transferred) was deposited in my account of the said date/amount
This is proof that this company is after free money if a person is not aware of what they are trying to do.
There's more than just 1 phone number that they have and give to the victims. I was reading some other posts on another website forum. From what I understand, these calls are actually coming from Pakistan, they have a phone account with something like vonage, where you can get a phone number in the u.s, but can go practically anywhere and use the phone number as long as you take the phone device with you. I've been advised to call the FBI, FTC, all 3 credit bureau's, your local law enforcement and your bank. This has to be stopped!!!
