This number has been calling ME and my bro in law.  I had been searching for a payday loan, but took out only one and that has been paid back(I have documentation). So it seems this is from one of the companie that I applied for but DID NOT get a loan from!  They are calling my bro in law cuz I work for him cleaning part time... saying they are from washington (dc??) and that he is an officer from the fraud unit and that I am involved in a fraud case.  All they want from him is to talk to ME.  When someone calls me with no id, I don't answer.  Once or twice I actually talked to the guy... foreign, possibly chineae or japanese? I'm not sure.. but definitely not American. I denied owing any money to them, and asked for something to be mailed to me.  THey must have my mailing address if they have my phone number.... but they never send anything by US mail or email... just the hararassing calls! grrrrr

the sad thing is they are calling my job harassing my co workers

May 23, 2010 - My sister started getting these 3 days ago.  They're calling her cell, her son, and her work numbers.  Same story as the one above.  Even if she doesn't answer, they call repeatedly non-stop.  I'm reporting them to Clark Howard to see how he can advise her.  It seems that they may have gotten her information by hacking into the database of Old Navy, where she worked part time a few years ago.  She's putting fraud alerts onto her credit bureau files.  They all have generic-American sounding names (Mike, Gary, etc) with heavy foreign accents.  So far she's tracked over 20 different phone numbers that they're using within these few days.  She nailed them when they said that they had tried to withdraw the amount due from her Wells Fargo checking account in June 2009.  Her comeback was that she'd NEVER had a Wells Fargo account.  His response, after threats of heavy fines and imprisonment within 24 hours, was that "Only God can help you now."  Quite original, don't you think?  She also said that she's recording the call, and that didn't phase them.  Their whole spiel is intensely abusive...  "Do not lie to me...  Do not interrupt me... etc."  Does anyone have any idea of how to stop them from calling, since not answering doesn't stop their attempts

I am taking this up legally. We were used as a reference  for someone else.(without permission) After telling them not to call again because of how they upset my wife I informed them that my attorney would be in touch with them if they called again. They did and my attorney is going after them. Collection agencies have no right to harrass people. So whatever money they are out originally will now be much greater. Don't care If I get 10 dollars and my attorney gets 10,000 dollars. This number will pay for calling us again after being warned.

I have been getting the same type of calls for a few weeks.  The call comes in and on the caller ID shows a phone number from Toms River, NJ and the caller gives a return phone number that is in Dallas, TX.  Then another call is from CA but gives an 818 area code call back number.  One of the names they chose to use was Jack Dawson. Isn't that the character on Titanic?  You request a supervisor, you are put on hold and the next person sounds identical to the one you just spoke to.  They will tell you they are from a Department of Law and Investigation in Washington, in the State of America.  Not the United States of America.  Get it right people!  Even when I had my kids answer the phone, the reps are rude and even used foul language at them.  The callers will reference themselves as "officers".  Please do not be fooled into giving these creeps any of your hard earned money!
