The "good luck as this situation unfolds" line and the vanilla-sounding alias names for the reps strongly suggest a South Asian fake debt collector. If you really want to know how they've found you and Gramma and the neighbor's pet ferret, think back to when you or someone related gave away a pile of sensitive data to strangers through an online application form.

To be clear, this is extortion dressed as debt collection. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. As early as possible it's critical to determine if your collector is domestic or yet another South Asian faker. The former you can sue into submission; the latter tend to be out of reach.

My notes from October 2011 on payday loan and "hot check" collectors are linked below.

I received a call from Peter Andrew at the dept. of legal ???????. I was on another call at the time and my co-worker took the call. She said that it was from "one of my friends". I get calls like this all the time at work and am very very upset about it. They are all fraudulent and I have turned the name and number of the person that called to my Identity Theft Company as well as the FBI; BBB and local Law enforcement. They can not do anything but just take the information.

I tried to call them on my personal phone and the line cut off. I am trying right now to call from work number and I get a beep and no one answers the call.

To me it it just a fraudulent and scam call., I wish that they could catch these bas.........ds. They think that they own the world but most of us do not take it. I just waited while I was typing this info in there any noone answered the call.

I am not going to dignify them by calling another time if they can not answer the first time. Just be aware that this phone number is out there .

this just happened to me on Monday, only they used a number of508-313-8122 and contacted me at work. He repeated old information about me from like three years ago, and is also using my old last name before my divorce. I reported to the police and FTC. He told me on Monday that If I did not give him the money I owed ($556.63) + $1000.00 per days that he would turn me over to the athorities and that they would be coming to my work to arrerst me and investigate. REALLY???? they do not do that in america... This guy is not from the united states and thinks he is being really smart.

Just last night I received a voice message from the same guy... he has an accent that sounds like India. Told me that it is urgent that I have my attorney call him as I am being brought up on charges for fraud and that it was urgent that I call him... only this time he is using 415-952-5630.

Hope the FBI catches this creep, because he is harrassing me at work... If he calls again, I am going to give him a piece of my mind.

A certain "Michael Jordan" with an Indian accent called me on 9/22 @ 12:51 p.m. and on 9/24 @ 8:25 a.m. asking me to call this number (415-952-5630) or my lawyer regarding an urgent matter. First, who calls you regarding official business on a Saturday @ noon? This is not the first time I received calls like this.
