I got harassed Friday afternoon by "Baker McKenzie" law firm a Indian man named "edward london" said I owed $1600.00 and he would settle with me for $500.00 from an unpaid payday loan which I did years and years ago remember taking out but i was almost certain it had been paid.
After asking NUMEROUS times and spending almost 5 hours back and forth on the phone with them to show me some documentation of this alleged debt he refused and stated he would just have the cops/sheriff come pick me up at work or at my home if I did not wire or moneygram the money (all things untraceable!) and he was throwing around words like check fraud. At this point I was in a sheer panic thinking i could lose my job or go to jail so I agreed to pay VERY hesitantly and wired the money to a "Victoria Estep" in Waldorf, MD (another big mistake! WHO IS SHE?! I DONT KNOW) They are still answering the phones and i plan on going to the police or FBI
THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i believe they are overseas though.
NEVER WIRE ANYONE MONEY AND IN THE US YOU CAN NOT BE ARRESTED FOR AN UNPAID DEBT PLEASE GOOGLE THIS INFO BEFORE PAYING ANYONE AND I HOPE MY STORY CAN HELP SAVE SOMEONE ELSE $500!!!!!!

File with the FBI - You're a victim -
AUTHOR: Amy - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 25, 2012
I filed with the FTC & I filed with the FBI
I called to check on the FBI report and apparently these folks in India have been going around doing this with other phone numbers scamming people.
Apparently the FBI is working on this and the direct link on their website to the "payday loan scam" is http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710/
They FBI is calling this an "extortion" scam related to people who applied for payday loans.
The FBI is investigating this because their is a front man living here in America (who is from India) - The money initially goes to him in his American account and then he feeds the money to his "operators" who are located in India.
ABC News link:
http://gma.yahoo.com/phantom-debt-collectors-india-harass-americans-demand-money-221109715--abc-news-topstories.html
Report them to the FBI because it's still under investigation and there has been lawsuits filed against the indian guy who is living here in America.
To file with the FBI: https://tips.fbi.gov/
To file with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
They're still working on this case, but since the front man lives here in America and ABC went to his house and all the money initially goes to his account, this might be just the loophole that the FBI will need to get these folks stopped
Apparantly they've called well over 600,000 people and have made well over 5 million dollars from their scam. We need to stop them and since the front man resides in America, the victims should file a class action suit against this man and get back their money.
Some of the numbers they've used are:
213-289-3789

You could of stopped the transfer

Why didn't ypu stop the transfer when you had the chance. Did the caller have a middle eastern accent? If he did You should of told him that you had the FBI looking in to his operation. I would also tell him that Buddah is a demon and he is cursed for eterinity. ( they believe in curses and are very sensitive to them) When he dies he will come back as a reptile .
Just have some fun messing with them the next time they call and you see thier # on your caller ID just answer FBI agent Jackson speaking and they will get scared .
