This is from the "Investigation Department" (they do not tell me where) and it was an Officer John Smith, with a heavy indian accent.  I've dealt with these people before and they are a scam.  I decided have a bit of fun.  First off, I had them call my cellphone which has a "record phone calls" app so I could record the phone call.  Officer Smith wanted to give me verbal information and I said, I do not accept verbal information on this, only written.  He tried to scare me with the line "this is past that stage and we cannot provide written documentation".  I then reminded him that I knew my rights with the Fair Debt Collections Act and yes, they had to provide me with written documentation.  At which point, he hung up.  Do not give out any payment information to these people.  If they are valid, they will provide written documentation as well as a physical address where you can send a money order payment instead of providing a debit card over the phone.

I also received a call from this number today.  He claimed is was from the "Department of Law and Investigation"-of which he could not tell me where it was from.   A man by the name of P.Williams called about 10 times within an hour until I finally answered. He had a very thick accent and  he claimed I owed over $500 of a loan and if I didn't pay it over the phone, I would be sent to court and have to go to jail.  It's a scam- I called my loan company and they advised me not to give out any information to them.  He couldn't provide where they where located, or any information. Don't do it!!!!

I received a call from Michael Jones leaving this number as a callback number.  He had a thick Indian accent and told me he was calling from the Department of Investigation.  He said he was calling about a serious complaint against my "social security number".  He said it was about an unpaid payday loan.  I have received other such calls and I don't have any unpaid payday loans.  I told him I knew this was a scam and that I was not going to pay him anything.  I hung up on him but he called back twice at my work.  I hung up on him again.  But he keeps calling back.

yes this number is a scam they have called me 20 times everyday back to back THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK god I am not the only one - this creep officer john smith with the thickest indian accent calls from 914-512-5705 all hours over and over again leaving messages telling me I better prayer to God that I call him; I knew it was a scam because when I asked him to send me something in writting he hung up on me.
