Yesterday March 9,2011  I received a phone call from a man with a very thick Indian or Pakistani accent.  This man informed me that he was with American Law Firm and that there was a case against and I was being sued by Advance Me Today. 
 
Due to the thick accent it was really hard for me to understand what he was saying. I did HOWEVER understand that his name was Dave Matthews. The gist of the phone call was basically that he wanted my money!  He wanted it now!  And that I better give it to him or he was going to call my job and get me fired!  I talked with this man for a good period of time while in the store…probably too long actually. Then he hung up on me….
 
I called him back and asked what company he worked for, what his name was, why he was calling and how he got all my information.  He told me if I didn’t want to put the effort into figuring this out that he didn’t want to waste his time with me…and hung up on me again.
 
At that time I called Advance Me Today.  I talked to a very nice man who confirmed my good status with them and said these guys calling me are a scam.
 
Today on March 10, 2011…..WHILE at work I got another phone call from who I am almost positive was the same guy I talked to yesterday.  He gave me a different name and told me he worked for California County Sheriffs Department.  Right at that moment I realized that yes… these people really are BOGUS! There is no such thing as The California County Sheriffs Department. 
 
So I told him this….”I know you called me yesterday! And I know you’re a scammer because anyone stupid enough to think California is a County is not a legit business person.”  He hung up on me again…
 
2 minutes later the man called again and asked why I had hung up on him….and then he hung up again.
 
This incident really scared me yesterday!  Even more so today because he confirmed he has more information about me than he should.  This man was harassing, mean, threatening and rude! What can I do to keep this guy from stalking me?

I agree with George also.  The number they called me from today is 817-404-4061.  I will be calling the number George gave in his note and reporting them.  This isn't the first time I've had to deal with these idiots.

Bogus American Law Firm

I agree with George. This is the second group of Pakistanis that have tried to pull a scam on me this month. I have not spoken with this idiot yet.  The number he is giving me is 713-900-5288. He called me yesterday while I was at work and left me a message on my cell phone.



When I called back at 10:30 PM EST, I got a recording that the Magic Jack customer is not available and to leave a message. I left a message from my land line basicall telling him to eff off.



Just now he called my cell phone again and left the EXACT same message.



FYI - The other scammer is using the name Brown Law Firm. He actually gave me the web site of the Law Offices of Baird Brown on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. A call to that firm proved that they did not know him nor does he work for them.

PLEASE HELP REPORT THESE INDIAN THIEVES

AUTHOR: george g - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, April 25, 2011

Hi, my name is George, and I actually work at American Law Firm located in Santa Ana, CA. Unfortunately, we have been getting multiple calls from consumers like yourself saying the exact thing as stated above. There is an Indian call center acting as if they are us, placing fraudulent calls, and they sound to be doing A LOT of credit card fraud. Their pitch is something on the lines of "you are delinquent on payments, give us a new cc number or we'll call the cops on you", or something on those lines from what I've heard? I placed many complaints with the FTC about that Indian call within the last 3 weeks. I'd like to personally apologize for this misunderstanding and state that we are IN NO WAY related to these thieving liars.

We have been telling upset consumers to call the FTC at 877-382-4357 and use our reference number to build a case with them. The reference number is 30006185 and as long as they continue to harass clients, we'd appreciate if others also helped to place more complaints against them. Please also call the CA Consumer Protection Agency toand also file a case with them. Their telephone number is 800-952-5225.

The Indian call center is calling from the following numbers:
817-404-4933 (4/7/11)
409-356-7271 (4/7/11)
281-901-5299 (4/12/11)
408-701-9786 (4/18/11)
310-362-7054 (4/20/11)

Obviously with them being able to call from all of these different numbers, they are using some type of call id spoofing system so it is harder to track them down. I've back tracked some of the numbers and they go to churches and non-existent business addresses unfortunately, which are obvious fake.

A management contact at their company is Jin Shaw, and I've also spoken to both a Megan and a Lisa, all of which have cussed me out and hung up on me after trying to pry info from them and threaten to sue.

We are in the process of adding this case info to our website so we do not continue to receive these calls or reports against our company, but unfortunately the FTC says that these things take a lot of time to track down.

AGAIN, IF YOU RECEIVE CALLS FROM THESE PEOPLE PLEASE REPORT THEM SO WE CAN PUT AN END TO THIS FRAUD!!!!!
