Keep receiving phone calls from a John Smith stating he was from the Federal Crime Investigation Department. The phone number they left on my v.m. to return their call is [protected]. I have received many calls from these people in the past - always the same foreign voice and he always gives me a different name -- sometimes he's John Smith, sometimes he's Kevin, or Patrick, etc. When I call them back they state they have a "complaint against my SS#" for unpaid payday loans. Yes I have gone online to obtain payday loans, but none are unpaid. Be careful when you apply online for payday loans -- they sell your information to other people, and most of these people are "scammers". Never provide any bank information or private information to these people. I've had to close my bank accounts due to fraudulent debits due to my information being given to people like them! Be very careful above these people. I've reported them to the FBI but that doesn't work either.
I always receive phone call from these people. fraud and scammers. I agree - be very careful not to give your private and financial information to them. Hang up on them.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Email me to discuss your options in dealing with them. I have several that will help.

I received a called from a Officer Bill Mayes, Officer Ray Flack, Officer Jim Collins from the FEDERAL CRIMES DEPARTMENT on June 16th, 2011 demanding i pay $2, 036.00 in a payday loan that went into default that i never had. They told me that they have been monitoring my email address and recited to me my drivers license number and told me that if i dont pay up, that i will spend 9 months behind bars, my social security number will be under investigation for 3 years. So, to avoid this action, I gave them my credit card info over the phone and they took $150 out the same day and told me to fax them authorization to draft my account about 6 times for $500 through August 18th and a copy of my drivers license and my credit card info for his files. i contacted a federal attorney friend and he said its a scam and ignore it, but i just lost $150. Learn from it. He asked me if they had a docket number. I told my attorney, no. I asked the OFFICER and he said use this “SECRET I.D. NUMBER” . That’s when the red flag went up. SO, I CHECKED MY BANK ACCOUNT FOR THE DRAFT INFO. THE COMPANY NAME WAS “VCollect”. Yes, a scamming collection agency. I WENT ONLINE LAST NIGHT AND LOOKED THEM UP, AND I FOUND REPORTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE BEING SCAMMED BY THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE CALLING FROM [protected]. THANKS TO MY GOOD FRIEND ATTORNEY ALEX WATHEN, WHO MADE ME FEEL MORE AT EASE ABOUT THIS, AND GAVE ME COMFORTING LEGAL ADVISE TO PASS ON TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
I just received this same phone call you have all mentioned.
It sounded official, but there is a lot of noise in background. He calls himself Officer Justin Miller #[protected] ext 109.
Between his accent & noise in background I had an uneasy feeling. I'm so glad I decide to look into this! Can anyone please tell me how to handle this ? I have never taken out a pay day loan in my life, I'm freaking out, ...
yesterday my landlord received the same call for me. i man claiming to be the police dept and they where coming to arrest me for fraud. when he tried to talk to them they threaten him and also told him not to answer the phone so he can leave a message. he did leave one saying he was with the federal crime dept and has a legal action against my ss#
and i will go to jail. he uses different names and you can't understand him. the #[protected] ext883. this happen to me two other times. theses people really scare me . i will be filling bk next week, but that doesn't stop me from being frighten me.
The same thing has happened to me... Except he changed his name from Officer White to John McCoy, He states that I will be arrested for fraud, get a huge fine... He usually asks for my personal info but I tell him you tell me what my info is since you have it in front of you and than I state that I am going to google the phone number, so he gets really irrate and tells me it is not any of my business what thje address is... I have since just blocked the numbers... So tired of the lazy good for nothing waste of human flesh who prey on vunerable people
I was just called at work and my home phone and my cell phone with the same scam. I was really scared thinking that i was going to jail. but the guy wouldn't give me a phone # to the company so i called my local cops to see if it was true if i had a warrant out for my arrest in north carolina ( i live in oregon and never in my life been to south carolina) and i haven't done a payday loan for over 3 years. So my local cop ran my name for all of states for a warrant and told me that it is a scam and what to do. The # that they called me from is [protected] and it's from north carolina. Please everyone be careful and tell everyone that you know.
I just recieved a call from [protected] Officer Jason Washington. When i told him that his information was mistaken and asked him how he got information he said "what did it just fall out of the sky?" So then i tell him i will get him for harassment if he continues to call and he says "Oh i will keep calling you." I then tell him that i am going to call the police and i tell him to F@*K off and he tells me to "Get lost" Ok his stupid self called me. The funny thing is that when he "Came" to the phone... (I know it was him that anwered the phone on my return call, and said that he had to locate "Officer Washington") he had a VERY strong indian accent. He tried to turn his accent to a "Southern" accent. Who can i call about this?
I jujst started recieving these calls today but the number has changed to [protected] and this time his name is "Jason Williams". I just helped my friend out though this exact same thing about 3 weeks ago and now it's happening to me. These scammers are crazy. When will they stop? Grrrrrr...
Tom Smith keeps calling my job. Same MO..Federal Crime Dept. #[protected]. I told him to stop calling, but he just keeps going. Any Ideas to make him stop? I get in trouble for personal calls.
oh my god!i was sooo scared too, i didnt know what was going on! im sooo relieved that someone else has put this complaint up because i thought it was real
I was terrified! I thought I was the only one! It's scary to know they have your ss# well they only verify the last four, but still very creepy. They tell you your are facing criminal charges and you will be arrested. His accent really gives him away though. They change there names all the time.
Same thing is happening to me! Even the same phone number..beware he's changed his name to "David Williams" but the heavy accent gives him away! It's comforting to know that I'm not alone but very upsetting to receive these calls!
